How well do you think this septic system was functioning? If you are having problems with slow drains, this might be why. Last week was Septic Awareness week in BC and WCOWMA-BC shared some great do’s and don’ts to help you better understand and care for your septic system. DO keep the area around the septic tank and dispersal area grassed you promote evaporation and to avoid erosion.... DON’T use septic fields as pens or pastures for animals. Don’t plant any trees or shrubs on or near the bed or tanks; their roots can clog pipes. Worried about your septic system? Give us a call! . . . #DigginItExcavating #DigginItSSI #DigginIt #ExcavatingSSI #ExcavatorLife #Excavation #GettinDirtySince1998 #DirtLife #HeavyEquipment #HeavyMachinery #SaltSpringIsland #SaltSpring #GulfIslands #ExcavatorOperators#SepticSystemsSSI #SepticInstallation #SepticProfessionals #SepticService #SepticField #SepticDesign #SepticSavvy

Happy Autumn Equinox! We are always Diggin’ and we get to work outside in one of the most beautiful places in Canada. With the longer nights and more time spent indoors make sure your septic is working right. Once the rains come things can turn bad, fast. If you’re not sure about the signs of a failing or overburdened septic system give us a call, we’d love to make sure you’re ready for winter.... In the meantime here are some tale tell signs you have a problem: 1. Water or sewage is backing up inside your home. 2. Slow drains. 3. Green, spongy grass around your septic tank. 4. Standing water or damp spots hear your tank or septic field. 5. A smell of sulfur (rotten eggs) or excrement. #SepticSavvy #SepticMaintenance #SepticService #SaltSpringIslandSeptic #KeepOurIslandClean #KeepSSIWaterClean #DigginItExcavating #DigginItSSI #DigginIt #ExcavatingSSI #ExcavatorLife #Excavation #GettinDirtySince1998 #DirtLife #HeavyEquipment #HeavyMachinery #Caterpiller #CAT #CATequipment #SaltSpringIsland #SaltSpring #GulfIslands #ExcavatorOperators #SepticSystemsSSI #SepticInstallation #SepticProfessionals #SepticField #SepticDesign

Taking a break and assessing the situation. Whenever you’re diggin’ there is a possibility of hazards, underground unmarked utilities and surprises. An experience operator with skill and instinct has seen enough of these situations to foresee possible problems. When you hire us, you hire years of experience, dedication and knowledge. Plus it helps we know Salt Spring like the back of our hand. This exciting trenching project will result in a brand new home spa! Now who coul...dn’t use one of those? . . . #DigginItExcavating #DigginItSSI #DigginIt #ExcavatingSSI #ExcavatorLife #Excavation #GettinDirtySince1998 #DirtLife #HeavyEquipment #HeavyMachinery #Caterpiller #CAT #CATequipment #SaltSpringIsland #SaltSpring #GulfIslands #ExcavatorOperators #Trenching #SaltSpringExcavating #3017DCR #MovingDirt #MiniExcavator #HomeSpaInProgress #DreamsDoConeTrue #IslandLife

Finesse - The unique ability to manuever seemlessly around people or objects in a smooth manner. aka - Ethan at work! Watching Ethan operate an excavator is like watching the ballet. His motions are seamless, purposeful and precise. Few people have this kind of ability. Besides over a decade of experience he has a natural born ability and affinity for this work. It’s difficult to appreciate until you try to operate one of these machine yourself. . .... : #DigginItExcavating #DigginItSSI #DigginIt #ExcavatingSSI #ExcavatorLife #Excavation #GettinDirtySince1998 #DirtLife #HeavyEquipment #HeavyMachinery #Caterpiller #CAT #CATequipment #SkidSteer #TrackLoader #SaltSpringIsland #SaltSpring #GulfIslands #ExcavatorOperators #308e2cr #ExcavatorBallet #SupportLocal #SaltSpringExcavating #SaltSpringLandscaping #SD64 #MoreParking #CommunityOverCompetition
