Replacing a septic tank - Guesstimate for budget

Kamper · 05-31-2017, 03:59 PM

I just replaced the sewer line from my house to my septic tank, myself. It appears to me that the metal septic tank is approaching the end of its service life. For budgeting purposes I'm trying to get an idea of the cost of removal and replacement and expect to have the job done within the next two years.

Hopefully I will hear from someone who has had this done within the last few years.

The current tank is in soft dry ground about 100' feet from the road, just past the end of the driveway. No trees need to be removed for access. I have a round 750 gallon metal tank but would expect plastic now and probably 1000 gallon (internet, factory cost $1200-1500 plus shipping). Only the tank needs replacing.

Thanks for your input!
