"John Bensavage is AMAZING! He's experienced and cares about doing the best job possible. Additionally, he leaves the job site in better condition than when he started the job. If I could give John a higher rating than 5 stars, I would. If you're looking for the right company to install or repair your septic system, hire John Bensavage, I can't imagine any other septic system installer doing a better job. Elizabeth Martin "

"Fenn Construction/ Septic Masters did a great job. They gave a good price, sent a quote and completed the job in under 24 hours. They were respectful of the property and even moved the excess dirt to a different part of the lawn…highly recommend them. "

"My daughter's kitchen sink was backing up. I could not remove with my 8 ft. Snake and we called Ben Franklin and asked for the hydro-jet service to remove the blockage. The technician could not remove the blockage due to a street elbow connection with clean out that prevented the hydro jet from traversing the drain pipe. Had to pay full price ($836) without solving the issue but was offered a $400 discount to have a complete replacement of the branch drain ($3100). I ended up getting a 15 ft. Snake and threaded it through the coupling where the copper branch met the PVC main drain and removed the blockage in less than an hour. Would not recommend this firm to anyone unsuspecting of the upsell tactics."

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in New Britain, CT

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.
