"Preston responded to my request quickly and professionally. He talked me through the next steps and was clear and concise on his communication. Furthermore, he showed up as scheduled and worked independently and kept us informed on expectations and answered our questions expediently. He was honest and forthright and one of the best contractors we have ever worked with over the years. I rarely spend time writing reviews but, he was that impressive. Do not fear in hiring him at all. This area has contractors who drop communication and do not follow up or through, for which Preston is the polar opposite. A rare find."

"These people are known rip off artists. They sent 3 vehicles and crew for what was supposed to be a free estimate. Then they used scare tactics to force us to hire them for a job. Told us we could be fined by the EPA if we did not take immediate action. We are female senior citizens and they saw an opportunity to take advantage of us. Told us the initial charge would be $2800 but it could be as much as $20,000. Ended up charging us over $4500 the first day and did not do any of the work that they charged us for. We had another reputable septic service come and look at the problem. They knew right away without us having to tell them who the company was that was ripping us off. They have a reputation for charging people 3 to 5 times more than they should. We could have a whole new septic system installed for less than these con artists were going to charge us. I am disputing the charge with my credit card company and filing a complaint with the BBB. Do not hire these people!"

"Simpson said the water heater was leaking and replaced it at an extremely high cost. The leak, which was coming from a water pipe leak in the wall right next to the water heater and should have been seen when they were inspecting for the leak because the dry wall was visibly soggy and water logged, was “discovered” after the water heater was installed. It has taken weeks for a competent repair company to dry the walls and floors. While Simpson said the water heater was leaking, it was only five years old and I question whether it really was needed. Too late now to do anything but take their word, but I am suspicious. And I feel their charge for installation was excessive. L"

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Asheville, NC

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.
