When is it time to Replace Your Septic System?
There are a number of situations that might lead you to replace your septic system. The first and most common situation is when the septic system no longer separates solids from liquid waste and distributes the content to the drainage field effectively. This is a common problem and doesn’t always mean that your septic system is broken for good – it could merely be full or clogged, or you may need to have your septic pump replaced. In any case you need a professional to take a closer look.
Generally, if a septic system is well cared for and checked on annually, you shouldn’t need to replace it for decades. However, older septic tanks that no longer meet environmental guidelines and those septic systems that were poorly maintained earlier on may need to be replaced sooner. So, you need to keep a close eye on the system’s operation and make sure it is properly disposing of your waste.
Septic Replacement Cost
The cost of replacement depends on a number of factors. First, you must determine if the problems with your septic system are big enough that they cannot be repaired or will require future repairs. Second, consider the placement and the size of your system—this is often dictated by local or state regulations. Also consider that a large septic tank in a hard to access location may require additional labor to remove and replace. A septic system professional can assess your home, property and unique situation, allowing them to work with you to make a selection that will work best.
