Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new septic system cost in Nashville?
Septic installation costs range from $3,500-$12,000 depending on system type, property size, and soil conditions. Conventional systems cost $3,500-$8,500, aerobic systems $10,000-$20,000, and alternative systems $15,000-$50,000+. We provide detailed written estimates during your free consultation.
How often should I pump my septic tank?
Most residential tanks require pumping every 2-3 years. Larger families or homes with garbage disposals may need annual pumping. Regular pumping prevents solids from reaching your drainfield—the most expensive component to replace.
Do I need a permit for septic work in Davidson or Williamson County?
Yes, both counties require permits for septic installation, major repairs, and system alterations. We handle all permit applications, coordinate required inspections, and ensure your system meets local codes.
What is a septic inspection letter?
A septic inspection letter is official TDEC documentation verifying your system's status and condition. These letters ($200 fee) are required for property transfers, mortgage financing, or building permits. We coordinate with local authorities to obtain required documentation.
Can you repair septic lines without digging up my yard?
Yes! Our trenchless pipe repair technology rehabilitates many septic lines without extensive excavation. Using CIPP lining methods, we restore damaged pipes while preserving your landscaping—faster and less disruptive than traditional dig-and-replace.
What's the difference between a septic system and a sewer line?
Septic systems are onsite wastewater treatment facilities serving individual properties. Sewer lines connect to municipal treatment plants. Both require professional maintenance, but septic systems need regular pumping and monitoring. We service both septic systems and sewer lines throughout Middle Tennessee.
