"Excellent communication. Easy to schedule, confirmation text of the appointment, and a phone call the day of telling me when they would arrive. When we discovered as issue with my septic tank, they explained to me what was going on and what was needed to fix it, and we booked a follow-up for next week."

"Bill made sure I was aware of prices prior to starting and kept me informed every step of the way. I will definitely contact Bill for all my septic problems. He doesn't perform unnecessary work to inflate the price. He only does what is needed to fix the problem and get the system functioning the way it is suppose to. I trust him enough to have him do the work when I am not home because I know that I will not be overcharged and the work will get done."

"The Septic tank backed up late yesterday afternoon. I callled two other septic tank companies and had to leave a msg. I called Evergreen Sanitation and within minutes was set up for service first thing this morning. At 7:35 AM I received a call letting me know that the truck and driver were on their way. They arrived at 8:00. By 9:00, problem was resolved. The people that I talked to on the phone were upbeat, professional and efficient. The driver/pumper worked quickly, cleaned up area well and was pleasant. I am truly pleased that the service was performed so quickly."

"Had SD Express (Honeycomb Construction) paint our garage and WOW - it made a huge difference. Overall very happy with the outcome and service provided by Eugeniu and his brother and would hire again (have already recommended him to family members). I sent Eugeniu an email and he replied promptly and came by for an in person visit to provide an estimate (I was only interested in prime / paint at first) but Eugeniu recommended that we mud / sand the walls first to give the garage a smoother finish. The estimate process was easy and when we agreed upon a date / time for service, Eugeniu was professional and arrived on time each day. Eugeniu and his brother covered the paint site with appropriate protective cover so the paint would not stain the floor or a few of our personal items that we left in the garage. They applied mud the first day, sand and prime the second day and painted the ceiling and walls the 3rd day (white ceiling and grey walls). The paint job made a huge difference - what was previously unfinished we now look forward to organizing and making it a useable space"

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Arlington, WA

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.
