"This is THE worst company to ever use! They lie, rip you off and never call or communicate! This has been an ongoing problem from the initial install when the compressor blew up. They had to come back the next day with a new compressor to finish installation!! We’ve had problems ever since and this has been going on for 11 years. (We have a 12 year parts and labor warranty with a $49 deductible and we’ve paid this deductible so many times). Our compressor has gone out again, this is the forth time in 11 years!!!!! Tech brought out a portable air conditioner on Wednesday only to have it leak water on our living floor, rug and pad! He came back to pick it up and said the water plug was missing! Gee whose fault is that???? Was told we’d get a different one next morning on Thursday! Heard nothing on Thursday and nothing so far today, Friday! I’m sure we won’t hear a word! We’ve had parts put in backwards, txv’s (thermal expansion valve) replaced so many times, I lost count! Never ever use this terrible, inexperienced, sad excuse for a company!!"

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Columbia, SC

Most septic system replacements require several days to complete, not including permitting and preparation time. The process begins with site assessment and testing, followed by excavation, component installation, and final inspection. Weather conditions, property accessibility, and inspection schedules can all affect your project timeline. Your contractor can provide a more specific estimate based on your property's unique characteristics.

Standard homeowners' insurance policies don't cover septic system replacement due to age or normal deterioration. Coverage may apply if damage results from specific covered events, but routine maintenance and eventual replacement are generally considered homeowner responsibilities. Review your policy details or speak with your insurance agent to understand your specific coverage limitations.

Look for multiple indicators such as slow-draining fixtures, unusual gurgling sounds in plumbing, sewage odors inside or outside your home, or wet spots in your yard. Unusually lush grass over the drain field area, frequent backups, or recurring repair needs might signal system failure. Addressing these warning signs promptly can prevent property damage and health hazards.

DIY septic installation is not recommended and may violate local regulations. Professional installation ensures compliance with health codes, proper design for your specific site conditions, and appropriate safety measures. The specialized equipment, technical knowledge, and permitting requirements make this a job best left to licensed professionals who can guarantee the system's safety and effectiveness.

With proper maintenance, including regular pumping, a drain field lasts 20 years. Various factors influence system longevity, including household size, water usage patterns, and soil conditions. Regular professional inspections can help determine when replacement becomes necessary. If your system requires increasingly frequent repairs, replacement might be more economical than continuing to address individual problems.
