What affects the price
About this service
The price for a new septic installation depends on several key factors. The primary drivers are the number of bedrooms in your home, which determines the tank size, and the results of your soil percolation test. If the ground requires a specialized treatment system, the total will be on the higher end of the spectrum. Costs typically sit in a broad range depending on these site needs. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Summer often means more houseguests and increased water usage, which puts extra demand on your septic tank. With more showers and laundry loads, it is easier for a tank to reach capacity. If you have guests coming over, consider a pump-out beforehand to avoid an inconvenient backup during your family gatherings.
Frequently asked in Irving
What is the purpose of a septic tank?
The purpose of a septic tank is to manage your home's wastewater, separating solids and liquids. For homes in Irving not connected to the city sewer, it's essential for proper sanitation. Solids settle as sludge, while lighter materials float as scum, and the liquid effluent then moves to a drain field for further treatment.

With consistent maintenance, septic tanks can last 20-30 years or even longer in Irving. Regular pumping and careful use of the system are crucial. Avoiding flushing non-biodegradable items and harsh chemicals helps protect the tank and its components from premature damage.
How often do septic tanks need to be emptied?
Most households in Irving should have their septic tanks pumped every 3 to 5 years. This frequency depends on the number of people in your home and your water usage habits. Regular pumping is a cost-effective way to prevent system backups and expensive repairs.
