Sanitary sewer systems are one of the most critical components of any development, and Krone Excavating has become a trusted name in this essential work. With over 100 successful sewer main and lateral tie-ins to municipal and private systems alone, as well as dozens of off-site septic installs we bring experience, precision, and accountability to every sanitary job.
What We Install
Our sanitary sewer services include:
Installation of 8" sewer mains, manholes, and inside/outside drops
Lateral hookups in 4" and 6" sizes
Live tie-ins to active sanitary systems with bypass pumping
Pipe connections across SDR-35, terracotta, and ductile iron materials
Inspection coordination with municipal engineers and utility companies
We’ve worked with residential developers, municipalities, and schools across Pennsylvania and surrounding areas to deliver clean, functional, and compliant sanitary systems.
Common Challenges and How We Overcome Them
Sanitary sewer installation isn’t without its challenges. Projects often involve deep trenching, live connections, variable soil conditions, and aging infrastructure.
Here’s how Krone Excavating handles those challenges:
Deep trenches: We use trench boxes, proper shoring, and trained crews to manage depths safely, often reaching 20–30 feet below grade.
Live tie-ins: Our team is experienced with bypass pumping, allowing for safe and efficient integration with active sewer mains.
Unexpected materials: Whether it's terracotta from the 1960s or deteriorated ductile iron, we’re equipped to make proper connections with minimal disruption.
Coordination: We communicate with York Water, municipal authorities, and third-party inspectors at every step to prevent surprises and ensure compliance.
Why Sanitary Work Requires a Pro
A misstep in sanitary installation can lead to health hazards, regulatory fines, and failed inspections. Krone Excavating approaches every sanitary system with:
Detailed pre-planning and layout
On-site supervision by experienced foremen
Use of company-owned equipment and materials
Our sewer crews are not just trained, they’re experienced, responsive, and respected by local municipalities. With every pipe we lay, we’re protecting the public and laying the groundwork for long-term infrastructure performance. Whether it’s a single connection or an entire subdivision, Krone Excavating brings reliability, safety, and experience to every sanitary sewer job.
