Q: How do I dispose of a septic tank?

• <div><p>While abandoning a tank without treating it and following strict rules is illegal, there are several other ways to dispose of an old septic tank. One standard method is to pump out and crush the tank where it rests and bury it in the soil. Another is to remove it and transport it to a landfill. Finally, if abandonment is the best option, your contractor must pump out the tank and fill it with inert material, such as sand or concrete, depending on local regulations. </p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of a mound septic system?

• <div><p>While mound septic systems can provide cost-effective wastewater treatment in many instances, they do come at a significant initial installation cost and require a lot of space on your property for the mound and its replacement field. The installation cost is so high because this is a project that requires an exceptional level of skills and expertise to execute properly.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to replace or install a new septic tank?

• <div><p>The average cost to replace a septic tank or install a new system is typically around $7,350, with a broader average range of $5,000 to $12,000. However, total project costs can vary widely, from $5,000 to as much as $22,500. Key factors influencing the price include the size and type of the septic system, the tank material, and the size of your house.</p><p>It's important to distinguish between the cost of the tank itself and the cost of the entire system installation, which is significantly more. For the tank alone, costs vary by size:</p><ul><li><p>A tank for a one-bedroom house typically costs $500 to $900.</p></li><li><p>A 1,000-gallon tank, suitable for most one- to three-bedroom homes, costs between $900 and $1,500.</p></li><li><p>A tank for a five- or six-bedroom home generally costs $1,200 to $1,600.</p></li></ul></div>

Q: Can you park on top of a septic field?

• <div><p>You should never park or drive on top of a septic field. Vehicles can weigh upwards of two tons, and this weight can put a lot of pressure on the leach lines in the drain field. Too much pressure on your leach lines may cause them to warp, crack, or completely burst. This is an expensive and very avoidable problem.</p></div>

Q: Are septic tanks and cisterns interchangeable?

• <div><p>Cisterns can be used as septic tanks, but septic tanks can&rsquo;t be used as cisterns. This is because cisterns need to meet FDA standards for drinking water, but septic tanks aren&rsquo;t required to meet those standards since they are only used for wastewater.</p></div>

"The technician emptied the freezer, which was in the basement, to work on the part that needed repair. Then he neglected to put anything back into the freezer, including a turkey I had bought for Christmas and a rack of ribs. Two days after he left, I went out of town for two weeks. The turkey actually exploded and spewed its liquid all over everything, which had to be discarded. I let AHS know and they couldn't even bother to call me or follow up on this. I'm considering not renewing my contract with them because of the quality (or lack thereof) of many of the providers they send."
