Customers say: Quality work

"You made an effort to come a day before scheduled, you had an extra long hose to reach the septic tank, you checked all the toilets, you gave an excellent tip to remove the bad smell caused by a previous backup (spray bleach and green cleaner worked awesomely) and you were in and out in less than an hour! Highly recommend!"

"Jason, Mike and Rick are the best! I was having a problem with septic smell in my vacation home in Sullivan County. My local plumber had no interest in actually diagnosing the problem. All he did was put band-aids on the problem and said "see if this works). Needless to say, nothing he did got rid of the problem. I called 5 other plumbers in Sullivan County and no one even returned my call. I found Jason on Home Advisor. He is not in Sullivan County but his listing said they service the area. I called, got Jason on the phone and we made an appointment. He came in and said until he opened the wall he could not be sure, so he gave me a best case and worst case scenario, price wise. Turns out, it was the worst case....my entire drain line needed to be redone from the house to where it hooked up to the new septic system. They came back dug a trench in not the best of circumstances because of the weather and re-plumbed the drain. I will be using them as my plumbers from now on! I don't think you'll find a more competent plumber serving Sullivan County! And Jason is a hell of a nice guy!"

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Monticello, NY

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.
