Septic Tank Installation Process
When you need your septic tank or system repaired or replaced, you need someone who can handle the entire septic tank installation process professionally.
The Drain Doctor’s Rooter & Septic Service Co. LLC no longer installs septic tanks, but we can refer you to a trusted company for permitting and installation.
Septic Tank Installation Steps
What you can expect from your provider:
- Talk with you to determine the best process to replace your septic tank.
- Shoot the grades between the house, the tank, and the first distribution box to make sure they meet the codes.
- Provide an estimate of the cost to replace the tank.
- Once you sign the contract and permit application, your provider will get the county permits needed to do the job.
The day of replacement:
- Pump the old septic tank
- Dig up & remove old septic tank
- Install a new concrete septic tank
- Connect plumbing from the house, & from the tank to the first distribution box
- Ready all components for county inspections
After passing inspections, they will backgrade to the normal level & now you are back in service!
We can educate you on the best maintenance plan for your new septic tank, the dos and don’ts for your system, and warning signs of problems down the road. Just give us a call, or talk to your provider.
Timing and Communication
Usually, you will be out of service for only a couple of days while your new septic tank is installed.
