"LHC is a one of a kind contractor; you will not find one better. Immediate response to my inquiry for a quote, they called and were out the same day. The drainage issue was surveyed and I was presented with the solution and pricing, in a full disclosure contract. The work was scheduled and the team was there precisely at the time they stated they would be. The work and professionalism can’t be compared! Having had a flooding and ponding issues each time it rained, Dave’s work was put to the test the day after the work was completed, it rained, I didn’t flood. Dave is a true professional and an asset to the trade. I would recommend LHC without hesitation, you’ll be as impressed as I am."

"I was suffering from repeated high water alarms in my septic tank. The company knew the issue with my septic system on the phone from experience of similar problems it was blocked laterals of the leach field. They were able to fix the problem for a reasonable cost in a day all compliant with the township. They were 5 times cheaper than another company suggested for the repair. They were able to jet the laterals whereas the other company quoted to replace the entire leachfield laterals. Would recommend any one with problems with pressurized septic system to contact this company first."

Customers say: Quick response

"Quick Septic really lived up to their name. We needed a new septic field installed quickly and they went above and beyond in several ways. It was very clear their experience allows them to interact very well with the engineer and the town inspector to get an excellent time frame for completion. They even worked in the rain to get our project done on time. We could not be more satisfied with the price and effort that was afforded to us on this project and we will always be suggesting them to anyone who asks us who to call for a septic system."

"We have lived in Kingwood Township, Hunterdon County, NJ, for many years.  In fact, Mark was the excavator that dug the foundation for our home, 14 years ago.  Mark has done many projects for us over the years.  We would not think of using another excavator.  This year Mark installed a 6 box Peat Fiber Biofilter septic system in an 82' x 25' area of our rear yard. Much of the ground in Kingwood Township is shale and clay. Septic leach fields do not drain well.  Mark installed a new septic tank and a 2000 gal. septic dosing tank  that pumps septic liquid 500 FEET through 3" delivery pipe to the peat boxes in the rear of our yard.  This is relatively new technology.  Mark was very careful to assure everything was done correctly,  AND, unlike other contractors, Mark communicates closely with you. In order to bring the heavy equipment to the rear of our property, Mark created an access road made of crushed shale that leads to the large septic bed.
The price above includes:  
6 ANUA Peat Fiber Boxes
2000 Gal Dosing Tank w/1.5 hp Goulds Effluent Pup
500' of 3" Pipe
Several Iron Tank Lids
Wiring to Home Circuit Breaker Box
Septic Sand & Stone & Fabric Cover
Crushed Shale Access Road
Extensive Excavation Work on the Disposal Bed, Septic Tanks and Pump, Access Road, Pipe Line
Interface with Township Inspectors and County Board of Health Officials
York Raking, Seeding and Haying the Disturbed Area
One Year Maintenance Contract on the entire system

Mark is respected throughout the county, thorough, uses high quality materials, and does not stop until the job is COMPLETELY finished, to the point of assuring all final paperwork is provided to the various Township and County Offices. We cannot recommend Mark Hendrickson highly enough.  There was no risk involved in this large project.  We knew we could trust Mark, that the system would be installed perfectly, and with as little stress to us as possible."

"Dave Polo has a great online scheduling system, that makes it very easy for see his availabilty and his prices. The price above included a septic tank inspection by BeachStone Septic Corporation that Dave engaged and who were also very professional, very through and a great source of information. Dave was very thorough, we began on the roof and then worked ourselves around the outside of the house. We took notes as he mentioned things and he used his handy recorder to help him with his notes to put into the report. Our house has 3000 sq. ft and I feel confident that he covered much of that area. He was very thorough - looking high and looking low, pointing out the good, the bad and the things for us to improve the condition of the house. His report was about 8-9 pages and very detailed. It was a great source to go back to the sellers and asked for the significant things to be addressed or help us with some $$$."

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Clinton, NJ

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.
