Good Questions

Septic Tank Replacement FAQ

How much does a septic tank replacement cost?

Tank replacement is a personalized quote. Schedule an appointment and we'll quote it after we see the site.

Can you add risers to my existing tank?

Yes. Riser installation is $400 for up to 2 ft, including one riser and one lid. If the lids have to be dug up and located, add $100 per ft of depth.

Can you fix a broken baffle without replacing the tank?

Yes. Replacing a 4-inch PVC baffle is $150 per baffle. Other baffle types are quoted separately.

Do you pump septic tanks?

We don't run our own pump truck, but we schedule pumping with a licensed pumper and check the work while the tank is open, including baffles, filters, and the aerator. Pumping runs $600 to $700 depending on tank size, and Care Plan members' pumping records go into their file.
