Meinholz Excavating Inc.

Meinholz Excavating is a family owned septic and excavating company in Dane that has served Dane County and the surrounding counties since 1969. It installs new and replacement septic systems, services those installations afterward, and runs septic inspections. The company works for homeowners and builders on residential and commercial jobs and also takes many kinds of excavation work. Soil testing, formerly known as perc testing, is weather dependent. It marks the location for the drainfield: at least three borings are dug with a mini excavator in original, undisturbed soil, and the soil layers decide whether a conventional, at-grade or mound system fits the lot. Setbacks and limited space on a property can also shape the design. The information the company asks for differs for residential and commercial use, and for replacement versus new construction. Customers can send a soil evaluation report to get an installation estimate. Rated 4.8 from 21 Google reviews, 20 of them five stars.
