What affects the price

The final bill for septic work depends on a few specific variables. First, the size of your tank and the total volume of waste removal play a role. We also look at the accessibility of your tank lids; if they are buried deep underground or hidden under landscaping, extra labor is required to reach them. The distance from our truck to the tank also impacts the setup time. Every property has unique plumbing needs, and exact pricing is confirmed free on the call.

The price typically starts in the thousands, but it shifts based on how much dirt needs to be moved and the specific materials your local codes require. We ensure you get a durable system that functions correctly for years to come. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Frequently asked in Aurora

What is the purpose of a septic tank?

A septic tank serves as the initial stage of wastewater treatment for homes not connected to municipal sewer systems. It separates solids and grease from wastewater, allowing the remaining liquid to flow to a drain field for further treatment. This is a common setup in many Aurora neighborhoods.

What is the average cost of a septic tank?

How long do septic tanks usually last?

With proper care and regular maintenance, septic tanks can last between 20 to 30 years, and sometimes even longer. Pumping the tank regularly and being mindful of what you flush are key to extending its life. This ensures your Aurora home's system continues to function reliably.

How often do septic tanks need to be emptied?

For most homes in Aurora, pumping the septic tank every 3 to 5 years is recommended. This frequency is based on average household usage and tank size. More frequent pumping may be necessary for larger families or smaller tanks to prevent backups.

How much does it cost to have a septic tank pumped?

How often should a septic tank be pumped?
