"I had another company design my septic system replacement, but Paul re-designed it to avoid having to remove a 50+ ft tall tree and added a drainage system for the water from the gutters. The old no-longer-up-to-code 2-cesspool septic system was replaced by a drainfield and Ecoflow septic tank. The work was done on the days I was told workers would be here (unlike the company that drew up the first set of specs), and Paul and Jon were always friendly and great to work with."

We provide water well drilling, well pumps, pressure tanks, disinfection and water treatment solutions for customers in southeastern Pennsylvania. Our 75-year focused experience means we have the experience and knowledge to diagnose and correct all problems with wells and water treatment systems.

"From anyone I talked to and my own troubleshooting, it sounded like I would need a new well tank. Miller came over, did a bit of checking and emptied the tank of water. Added some air and it resolved the pressure problem! I may have a slow leak and still have to get a new tank. But everything was explained to me and I was given an estimate for a new tank, if needed in the future. I really appreciate that they didn't just tell me I need a new tank- because I would not have known any better. I will use them again and recommend their services."

Good, Inc.’s history began in 1949 when Norman G. Good started a plumbing, heating, and air conditioning business in Souderton, Pennsylvania, known as Norman G. Good, Inc. In 1960, master plumber John Kratz joined the company and in 1973 was invited into partnership. His son, Rodney Kratz, began his career with Norman G. Good, Inc. in 1987. After many years building a reputable and reliable business, Norman Good retired in 1992.

"They have definitely gone downhill over the years. I have used them for both at my home and commercial plumbing at my workplace. In the last two years I have seen a steady decline in both the level of competence and professionalism of the people they send on-site. They used to be fine, but lately they have problems solving basic plumbing issues and give attitude when you ask a question. We are moving on to another plumber."

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Cheltenham, PA

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.
