Septic Tank Replacement in Ozark

A septic tank installation is typically required for homes in rural or remote locations that fall outside city limits. These systems are often more cost-effective than extending public sewer lines—especially for individual residential properties. Septic systems treat wastewater on-site, helping prevent pollution in surrounding areas.

The first step in a septic tank installation is to assess your soil type and household size. This allows us to determine the appropriate tank capacity, drain field size, and system layout. Once the plan is in place, we excavate for the tank and dig trenches for the drain field, which disperses the treated wastewater.

We then lower the tank into the ground, ensuring it’s level and properly aligned. In the trenches, we install perforated pipes that facilitate wastewater dispersion. We also connect the tank to your home and the drain field using watertight inlet and outlet fittings. After backfilling the area, we re-seed the surface for a seamless landscape. To finish the job, we perform a complete system test and inspection to ensure proper operation.

Most septic tanks last between 20 and 40 years, depending on material, maintenance, and overall use. If your system is nearing the end of its life or causing recurring issues, septic tank replacement may be the best option. We help homeowners evaluate their systems and choose the right time for replacement.

Common signs you may need a septic tank replacement include:

Slow drains or frequent plumbing backups

Standing water or soggy areas near the drain field

Persistent sewage odors outdoors

System age exceeding 30–40 years

Costly or repeated repairs

Signs of well water contamination
