"Vasyl was contracted through Angi?s List for a toilet installation for 12/9. He calls me the day before to see if he could do the installation that day, unfortunately I was not available. He says no worries and he?ll be there for the scheduled appointment on 12/9. The next day he calls and says he?s on a project and will not be able to make the appointment and asked if either the next day or Friday would work. I told him whichever one works best I?m good. He tells me he?ll call me the next day. I never received a phone call from him so I called him back to see if Friday was the better option. He tells me someone will be there around noon on Friday. Friday around 1 pm I call Vasyl and he tells me his guy is on his way to Lowe?s to pick up the toilet and should be there in an hour. At 2:45 pm I call Vasyl to check in and see what the status is with my installation. It goes straight to voicemail and he never calls me back. "

FAQs for septic tank service projects in River Forest, IL

The cost to replace a septic tank is $7,350 for the average homeowner. This cost can range, however, from $470 to $22,500, depending on several factors. Your house size is a significant factor in the overall cost, but other things like material type impact the final price tag. For example, installing a new septic tank in a one-bedroom house typically costs $500 to $900, whereas installing a new septic tank in a five or six-bedroom home is generally $1,200 to $1,600.

Yes, most states require septic tank installers to have a license, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed septic tank pro could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

The cost of septic tank repair is $1,775 for the average homeowner. However, depending on a few elements, you might pay as little as $170 or as much as $6,100. Location, repair type, and tank material all determine the final cost. For example, replacing the septic tank filter can be as little as $200 to $300. However, repairing septic lines costs more, averaging around $1,500.

A septic tank can typically last 15 to 20 years on average, though your system's lifespan will vary depending on the type of septic system and the materials used. To help increase your septic tank's lifespan, schedule routine maintenance and do not flush items like cat litter, cigarette butts, or paper towels.

Repairing or replacing a septic tank is a job best left to a professional. Your septic tank is an essential part of your home, and if installed or repaired incorrectly, it could lead to significant problems. Things like polluted water, property damage, and health risks to your family could all happen as a result of an improper septic tank repair or installation.
