"The techs also offered on-the-spot pricing for replacing our hot water heater and a suggested time frame for the life of one of our toilets. We live in an old neighborhood where many houses have clogging problems. Their prices were about half of what other plumbers we've used in the past have charged just to come to the house, and the techs were very pleasant."

"Kase did our new home inspection as well as the well/septic for the home we were selling. He was on time, professional and extremely pleasant to work with. When the VA needed some additional documents for our mortgage he got them right over to us (same day). And the owner and office manager were always friendly too. I would hire this company again and again."

The Plumber arrived on time and was very professional and knowledgeable.  He listened to the issues I was experiencing and quickly isolated the problem.  Only issue was he didn't have a tool to open the access hole (2x4 piece of lumber) in basement that led from sewer to the road.  I didn't have any scrap on hand to help, so he had to go to local hardware store and returned 30 minutes later, adding to the labor costs.  Once started he ran a snake along the sewer line to the road which increased drainage.  He also showed me how to clear slow draining sinks, which will save me time & money in the future, as well as how to drain my hot water tank out of concern for time/labor costs - I will drain the tank on my own time.  Overall the cost was very high, but the quality of service was excellent even factoring in the issue with opening the cover.  Very pleased with the professionalism and speed in isolating the problem, as well as the work performed.  Would use this company in the future.

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Lansing, MI

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.
