"The float alarm went off for our septic tank on a Sunday. This alarm indicates that our septic system is no longer discharging and that the level in the tank is rising.   Our local septic tank cleaner does not do repairs, but they indicated that since our pump has been going for over ten years, they suspected it was time to replace the pump.
Early Monday morning I called Shankster Plumbing and was greeted by a pleasant and efficient lady.  She told me what the potential problems might be and approximately how much those corrections would cost. The estimate was for replacing the pump  was about $1000.   I was told that Steve would call me later that morning to confirm what the problems might be and he did. 
A little bit after noon, he came to our home, asked appropriate questions, and had me turn off the circuit breaker controlling  the septic tank.  Steve then opened and checked our septic tank.  He discovered that it was simply an issue of our floats becoming loose.  He reattached the floats.  This was obviously the easiest fix we could have imagined, and we appreciated his honesty.  I was charged travel time and an hour's labor.  Everything about Steve Shankster and his company was professional: polite, timely response, knowledgeable, honest, and fair.
Would absolutely recommend this company.

"This family owned and operated company went way beyond what customer service and expertise I had expected to replace my old failed septic tank. They explained all steps they needed to bring my old system up to code. They stayed in contact with me almost daily and took pictures when I was unavailable to be home and see their progress! They even leveled my sloping backyard to make it more aesthetically pleasing and replanted all the grassy areas. After comparing many companies costs, and type of system I'd need for this service, i am very pleased with the quote LED presented to me, the work time to complete the job, and the final results! Thank you LED team! It's nice to see that a true honest work ethic is still in vogue! Thanks Derek and Dad! You all did a great job! I'd highly recommend!"

"Worked hard to fix our broken sewer line. Peru Utilities had no idea where our line was and didnâ t care once we found it. Seth along with a plumber got us fixed. Then they graded and sloped our yard for seed and straw. Highly Recommend"

"I just pay $75 you never know who's going to come out. They do everything electrical. Just about everything is covered except the septic tank. I had an air conditioner replaced. It went great, all I had to do was pay for the freon. He didn't charge e more than what was needed."

"Had the service line from our house to the septic (under the driveway) replaced as it had pulled away from the tank (which we later found was due to the original installer not doing it right). They removed the concrete, replaced the service line and replaced the concrete after. They came out quick for a quote, used a camera to inspect the line (which was nearly half of the cost of all other quotes to run a camera) and found the damaged pipe. Was put on their schedule quick (luckily they had an opening so soon) and they performed quality work. Communication was great from start to end. I can't say enough good things about this company. A+ Service"

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in La Fontaine, IN

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.
