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 Orlando

What is the purpose of a septic tank?

A septic tank is a key part of an onsite sewage treatment system. It receives wastewater from your home, allowing solids to settle out and form sludge. Scum floats to the top, and the liquid effluent then flows into a drain field for further treatment in the soil. This process is vital for waste management in areas of Orlando without city sewer connections.

What is the average cost of a septic tank?

How long do septic tanks usually last?

A properly maintained septic tank system can last for 20 to 30 years, sometimes even longer. Regular pumping and careful use of what goes down the drain are critical. The tank itself is quite durable. However, the drain field can be more susceptible to issues if the system is overloaded or neglected. This is particularly relevant in Florida's climate.
