QUALITY YOU CAN STILL SEE 30 YEARS LATER. This septic replacement uncovered a piece of our family’s excavation history—and workmanship that still held up after three decades.

After 30 years of hard-water exposure in Sun Country, the tank’s concrete had deteriorated enough to fail the septic Use Permit Inspection. While reviewing the septic installation records as part of our due diligence, we discovered the original tank had been installed by DM Construction, our late father’s excavation company.
During the installation of the replacement tank, we found all the existing components to be expertly installed – all pipes at perfect slope, joints securely fastened, and tank perfectly level.

We take great pride in carrying forward our family’s long-standing tradition of quality workmanship.

Some Work Speaks for Itself.

THE SILENT TREATMENT. Your septic system won't call, text, or leave a note. It just quietly does its job... until one day it doesn't, and suddenly your whole yard smells like a decision you regret.

Regular inspections are basically a wellness check for something that can't tell you it's struggling. Cheap insurance against a very not-cheap emergency.

A gravity-fed septic system less than five years old experienced premature leach field failure at this County Road 77 property.

We investigated the system to determine what was causing the early failure and discovered that the residence's water softener was purge-cycling more frequently than normal, sending excessive volumes of high-salinity discharge into the septic system. This contributed to conditions that overwhelmed the existing leach field.

To address the underlying issue, Mathews partnered with N2IT Plumbing and Drain Cleaning Inc. to reroute the water softener discharge line so it could daylight into a designated rock drainage area rather than discharge into the septic system.

We then removed the failed leach field and installed a replacement pressurized bed system designed by Colorado Geoscience & Design.

As an additional safeguard, we installed an overflow pipe in the new pump tank. This gives the property owner the ability to discontinue the pump cycle in the future and redirect flow back toward the original field if conditions allow.

The goal wasn't simply to replace a failed field—it was to identify why it failed prematurely and address the contributing issue so the replacement system has a better chance of performing as designed.

A low bid feels great — until it doesn't.
We get it. A cheaper quote is hard to ignore, especially on a big project. But underground work isn't like repainting a room. When a septic system or excavation job is done wrong, you won't know it for years — and by then, the contractor who did it may be long gone.

A few things homeowners don't always think to check:
✅Certification — Septic work requires NAWT certification. Not every company has it.
✅Permits — Was the work properly permitted and documented with the county? You'll need that paper trail when you sell.
✅Soil knowledge — Colorado's soil varies dramatically. Experience in this region matters.
✅Longevity — A company with 2 months in business has no track record to stand behind.

We are the right fit for every budget — because we offer flexible financing through Hearth so cost doesn't have to be the reason you compromise on quality. Pre-qualify in minutes, no credit score impact.

Building for the future of our community.

🚧 Bathroom construction is officially underway at Messer Arena! 👷‍♂️🔨

We’re excited to kick off this much-anticipated addition to the arena! While construction is in progress over the next few weeks, all scheduled events will continue as planned.

Please note: During construction, all guests will need to enter through the West Entrance to enter the arena. You can still access the parking lot through the north or south driveways as usual.

You may notice some construction equipment and occasional noise, but it’s all part of making Messer Arena an even better place for everyone.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support. We can’t wait to share the finished project with you! ✅😄

Septic failure isn't a maybe — it's a when. Here's what a proactive homeowner looks like. This customer didn't wait for a backup in the house. When their 1,500-gallon concrete tank failed, they made the call — and while we were at it, they made a smart upgrade.

What we replaced:
Old, failed 1,500-gallon concrete tank

What went in:
✅ New 1,500-gallon Anderson Precast concrete tank
✅ Effluent filter installed on the outlet pipe

Why the filter matters:
That effluent filter is the last line of defense before wastewater reaches the leach field. It catches solids that sneak past, which means less buildup in the field over time — and a system that lasts significantly longer before needing major work.
It's a small add-on. The payoff is years of extra leach field life.

This is the kind of decision that saves thousands down the road.
