Septic · Scope

One question to ask about a septic replacement estimate

Pick one line of the bid. A follow-up that rewrites the whole scope does not get answered.

Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.

The line that gets replies

Are we permitting the field we walked, or are you adding a bedroom that changes the size? Put $19,500 in the email so they know which septic replacement you mean.

Included and left out

Included: a new tank and the drain field sized off the perc we did. Left out: a pump if the bedroom count changes, and landscaping repair beyond rough grade. The field size comes from the perc and the bedroom count. A smaller price with a smaller field may not get a permit. Do not quote a field the county has not accepted.
