"I never thought I would describe "getting my septic cleaned out" as pleasant, but it was! Tim and his team were great: the quote they gave me was reasonable and accurate, they were able to find the tank when I didn't know where it was, and they were so nice about answering all of my septic questions. They have a customer for life!"

"I am a local builder and in middle Tennessee and Erickson has done work for us any many different fashions. Whether the job is small or large- he shows up on time, with fantastic attitude and ready to get to work. His work ethic is above and beyond any that I've ever seen for someone his age. It is a honor each time that we get to work with Erickson. I have a saying for sub contractors that I just trust without a shadow of a doubt and Erickson 100% falls into that.. When we have weekly meetings to discuss all jobs/builds that are happening currently and we have a sub contractor like Erickson.. I say.. "oh that one is on cruise control.. Next job" and as a business owner and professional.. THAT means the world. Thank you Erickson! "

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Murfreesboro, TN

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.
