"Afford-A-Rooter was great to work with. I called the team with a concern about our water line and the team was responsive, professional and were willing to take the time to explain the entire process and answer all of my questions. They were reasonably priced and were able to get the job done well and quickly. I would highly recommend this team, and I would absolutely hire them again."

"We had a backup in our main and these guys came out within 30 minutes on a Sunday. They cleared the blockage for us and even offered to come back and clean it if it happened again within 30 days (which it did, and they came out immediately to clear it again). They were very helpful and I would highly recommend them for anyone needing a plumber."

"Matt and Alexander responded really quickly to my request and were able to complete the work in my bathroom the following week. They replaced faucets and light fixtures and also installed a niche in my shower. I’m super pleased with the quality of work and will use them again for future house projects."

"We thought our 13-year-old water heater was leaking and needed to be replaced. Our house is almost 100 years old, so we have called At Your Service Plumbing several times for snaking slow drains and the like, always with quick and affordable results. This time, Eduardo came out and said that the water heater was fine, and the leak was coming from a poorly-installed and now broken coupler between two hoses. (This was done by a different plumbing company years back.) He swapped out the coupler pretty quickly, saving us the cost and labor of replacing the whole thing. These people are competent, honest and nice. After living in Denver for almost 25 years, we finally have a company we can count on for plumbing issues."

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Aurora, CO

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.
