Before you contact a septic system installer, you'll need to check with your local governing body, such as the city or county, to see what is required to obtain a permit for the installation.
In many places, the local planning board or board of health will have a list of licensed engineers to choose from to design a septic system. The engineer's plans – which take into account the water table, underground water lines, wells and required setbacks from neighbors' property lines – will then go before the local governing board for approval.
Once any plans are approved, you can take the plans to different septic installers for pricing and guidance.
The total cost of your septic system installation varies based on your house, the size of your property, nearest flood plain, soil, preferred tank material and myriad other details. To find out the true cost of your installation, you’ll need to get an estimate. A septic installation professional will likely want to visit your property, take measurements and examine any issues if you’re looking to replace any part of your current septic system.
Reach out to multiple local septic installation or replacement companies to get a few estimates based on the details of your home. While multiple professional visits for estimates may seem like a lot, the knowledge you gain from each conversation can help you decide which company offers the best materials and timeline for you – not just which company offers the lowest price.
