Septic System Type
Some septic systems are simple while others are more extensive and complicated. As a result, labor and material costs will vary depending on the simplicity or complexity of the septic tank system.
Septic Tank Material
Septic tanks are generally made from plastic, concrete or fiberglass.
A plastic septic tank is watertight and stands up to rust and corrosion. It’s also the most affordable option; it will cost $150 to $2,000 to repair, though due to its flexibility, you likely won’t have to worry about it cracking.
A concrete septic tank is heavy and can hang in there for the long haul if corrosion doesn’t get in the way; it will cost $500 to $5,000 to repair.
A fiberglass tank will offer excellent resistance to cracking and rusting, though because it’s so lightweight, it might be damaged during installation. A fiberglass septic tank costs $750 to $7,500 to repair.
Septic Tank Size
Like with most household systems, the larger your septic tank is, the more expensive it will be to repair or replace it. A 1,000-gallon septic tank, which is an appropriate size for a three- to four-bedroom home, will cost $900 to $1,500; installation costs will bring it up to $1,500 to $4,000.For more information contact
