Septic Lines
Septic Lines, Installed Underneath Instead of Dug Through
Septic lines and pump-up systems, bored underground with precision. We work with your septic installer to put the line exactly where the design calls for, without an open trench through your yard. Most runs are done in a day.
What we install
- Septic tank to drain field connections
- Pump-up system installations
- Septic line replacements
- Force main installations
Why not just dig a trench?
A trench means digging up your lawn, backfilling, hauling topsoil, reseeding, and months of waiting for grass to grow back — plus cutting through anything in the path. We bore underneath instead: two small holes, done in a day, and usually right in the same price range once you add up what the trench really costs. And where a deeper trench costs more, a deeper bore doesn't.

Will you hit my tank, drain field, or other buried lines?
That's what the prep work is for. MISS DIG marks the public utilities before we start, we keep a locating specialist on staff, and our hydrovac exposes existing lines safely before the drill gets anywhere near them.
Do you work with my septic installer?
Yes, that's the normal arrangement. Your installer designs the system and makes the connections; we put the line in the ground where the design says it goes. One call to us and we'll coordinate the rest.
What does it cost?
A typical 100 ft bore is about $3,000. Trenching the same run across your yard realistically runs $2,300 to $6,000 plus weeks of restoration, so boring usually wins once you count everything. Estimates are free.
Other lines we bury
Ready to get it buried?
The estimate is free and there's no obligation. We usually schedule work within 3 days of MISS DIG marking, and most jobs are done in a single day. One thing to know: ground work in Michigan stops when the ground freezes, so if this is on your list for the year, the schedule fills front to back.
