"It went very well. Outside of the Soils testing consultant. Which wasn't the company's fault. But once they got started it ran very smoothly. Great communication during and after the job."

"We originally chose a different septic system company and the day they were supposed to start...no call, no show. Frustrated, we reached out to several folks who advised us to use All Town and Country Septic Tank Service to have our septic tank replaced. We are glad that the original company did not show up and that we chose to work with All Town and Country. Starting on day 1 and through the duration of the project, Tyler and his team were extremely professional, knowledgeable and reliable. He explained the process and expectations clearly to us at the beginning and through completion. This was a big job (for us) and came with some challenges... as most do. Tyler and his team were honest and forthcoming with every issue no matter how big or small. They did what they could to handle access limitations, weather conditions, unexpected digging/ground issues and any other issues that were encountered. Tyler constantly kept us informed so we understood the options and outcomes as well as shared his experiences so we could make educated decisions. Regardless of the situation, he made sure it was done right, as if he was working on his own home and property. Tyler and his team honored every commitment made. We really do appreciate the level of customer service and respect that we were afforded through the process by all of them. Based on the level of integrity and trust that we have built through the process with All Town and Country Septic Tank Service, we have decided to continue to use them for our septic tank maintenance and would recommend them for septic tank needs."

"I had a sewage pump fail with flooding in my basement. The system was installed by the prior owner and I had little information about it. I talked to 6 different plumbers and my city with 4 professionals coming to my house and failing to diagnose the problem. Eventually, I was referred to Harper Well & Pump. Mike was prompt in helping me diagnose the problem over the phone and said he could bring several parts for different potential solutions in the morning. He arrived when he said he would and made surprisingly quick work confirming the problem, replacing a failed sewage pump and its system, and replacing the old worn crock seal. Work was tidy."

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Akron, OH

The smallest standard septic system uses a 500-gallon tank, which costs between $875 and $1,150 installed. This size works well for single-occupant dwellings with minimal wastewater production. However, many local regulations specify minimum tank sizes, so check with your building department before committing to this compact option. Some jurisdictions require at least 750 gallons regardless of home size to ensure adequate waste processing capacity.

The installation timeline varies based on site conditions, permit processing, and contractor schedules. The process includes obtaining permits, conducting soil tests, excavation, tank placement, leach field construction, and final connections. Weather conditions, soil challenges, and inspection scheduling can all affect the overall timeline. It's wise to begin planning well in advance of when you need the system operational.

The most economical approach is to install a conventional anaerobic system with a plastic tank. To minimize costs while maintaining legality, obtain multiple quotes from licensed installers, consider scheduling during their slower seasons, and handle basic site preparation yourself. Never skip permits or required testing to save money—illegal installations can result in significant fines and mandatory removal, ultimately costing far more than doing it right initially.

Regular pumping helps prevent system failures and extends operational life. Most small systems require pumping every three to five years, though frequency depends on household size and usage patterns. Pumping services cost between $290 and $530, making this maintenance expense relatively minor compared to potential repair costs ranging from $500 to $2,600 for neglected systems. Establishing a regular maintenance schedule based on your installer's recommendations helps avoid costly emergency services.
