Septic Lines
Septic Lines Without a Trench Across the Property
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.
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?
No. MISS DIG marks the public utilities before we start, we keep a locating specialist on staff, and our hydrovac exposes existing lines before the drill gets 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.
What does it cost?
A typical 100 ft bore is about $3,000, done in a day or less. Trenching the same run realistically runs $2,300 to $6,000 plus weeks of restoration. Free estimates, no obligation.
Other lines we bury
Tell us where the line goes.
Free estimates, no obligation. We usually schedule within 3 days of MISS DIG marking, and most jobs are done in a day or less. 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.
