"Called me immediately. Sent Shane Knight, the technician, out within 2 hours. They fixed my issue quickly and perfectly. I picked 5 companies to consider, and the only one that contacted me was Acme. I'm glad they did because they were awesome."

"This family owned and operated company went way beyond what customer service and expertise I had expected to replace my old failed septic tank. They explained all steps they needed to bring my old system up to code. They stayed in contact with me almost daily and took pictures when I was unavailable to be home and see their progress! They even leveled my sloping backyard to make it more aesthetically pleasing and replanted all the grassy areas. After comparing many companies costs, and type of system I'd need for this service, i am very pleased with the quote LED presented to me, the work time to complete the job, and the final results! Thank you LED team! It's nice to see that a true honest work ethic is still in vogue! Thanks Derek and Dad! You all did a great job! I'd highly recommend!"

"Inspection saved us from buying home with a bad septic system. Seller ended up replacing the entire system based on the inspection provided by Knox. I would have hired them to perform the work if I was paying for the system. Highly recommended. Came out on short notice and took the time to explain how a septic system works and why this one was problematic. Wrote a detailed report. Saved us 15K."

"The plumber said my backed up pipes were from the septic system needing to be cleaned. Called Max Haas Company and they were able to get someone out the same day. They dug down to the tank top and cleaned the tank. Unfortunately, that didn't solve my plumbing problem but their service was excellent. Would definitely use them again.

"I started a holiday weekend with my grinder pump alarm sounding. Pump would run but took a very long time to clear the pit, plumber who put the system in was zero help and refused to even come look at it. He suggested calling the company he subcontracted the install to (which I had forgotten) they came and said it wasn't the pump it was fine, appeared to be a blockage in the outgoing lateral to the pressure main. The bad weekend kept getting worse, city came out and said the main was clear and there was noting they could do. They suggested digging up the lateral and replacing it. Packed up the family and went to the in-laws for the rest of the weekend, found J&C who answered my questions and advised over the phone some things to try. Scheduled a service call for monday am (which for many was a holiday), he had car trouble but came out and is the first person that I've had experience with that knew grinder pumps and was able to determine that whatever the blockage was was gone and that there was no need to dig up the yard and driveway, replace the pump and pit etc. Through no fault of James, I had a bad weekend, but he saved the day and so far the system has continued to work without fail."

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Anderson, IN

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.
