Serving North Kingstown and All of Rhode Island South County Septic and Excavation Services designs and installs septic systems for homes and businesses across Rhode Island. We work closely with homeowners, builders and engineers. On new construction, our excavation work covers the foundation hole and the utility trenches too.
On a new lot, test holes show the soil layers and how high the groundwater rises in the wet season. Those readings shape our septic system design: the type of system and the size and spot of the leach field. The design then goes to the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM). The install starts once RIDEM approves it in writing.
Much of North Kingstown sits on sandy, gravelly outwash, and the town's drinking water comes from groundwater. The state's rules set the bottom of a leach field at least 3 feet above the seasonal high groundwater. Where the water sits higher, the design may call for fill or a raised leach field. The systems we install include F.A.S.T. and Advantex treatment units, Eljen In-Drains, bottomless sand filters and trench and stone fields.
About Our CompanyWe install conventional septic systems and advanced treatment systems, such as nitrogen-reducing units. The soil and the state's rules decide which one fits the lot.
We take on small residential repairs and large commercial site work. On new construction, we work closely with the builder and the engineer.

South County Septic did an excellent job replacing our old septic system and leach-field. Michael surveyed the property, designed a new system, installed and worked with the RI DEM with no issues. I highly recommend this business.
Michael was great! Picked up right away and was able to come within the hour to evaluate. Immediately got into motion additional resources we might need to come that day and solved the problem. Very informative and great to work with. Highly recommend.
Was referred out to Michael after an emergency waterline break that flooded our basement. He was there every step of the way and answered all the questions we had. Michael let us know what was happening during the process and could not have been happier with the outcome. Great price and great customer service! Highly recommend if anyone is in need of their services
Michael was excellent. He replaced a main water mine to my rental property. Prompt, on time and does great work. I am someone who is extremely picky when hiring contractors for anything. He checked a lot of boxes when we first met answering questions and demonstrating his knowledge. Highly recommend!
Great professionalism! Kept to expected deadlines
Excellent service! Did very good and highly recommended!
