Why Locals Choose This Option

Replacement begins with diagnosing why the original system failed, which informs decisions about tank size, placement, and drain field design. Technicians excavate carefully to remove the old tank and compromised components without damaging surrounding property. In Lexington, where older systems often involve collapsed tanks or saturated drain fields, this step requires experience and attention to detail.

Once the old system is removed, installation of the new tank and lines follows the same best practices used for new construction. Major Duke's Services selects modern materials and layouts that address the weaknesses of the previous setup while meeting current regulatory requirements. Soil considerations and property layout guide every decision to maximize performance and longevity.

After installation and testing, you receive guidance on maintaining your new system to prevent future failures. The process transforms your property from a source of stress into a reliable, code-compliant system you can count on for years.

What to Expect When You Book

Homeowners throughout Lexington facing chronic system problems often ask how replacement compares to repairs and what the process involves from start to finish.

How do I know if I need replacement instead of repairs?
Replacement makes sense when repairs become frequent, costs add up, or major components like the tank or drain field have failed. A full evaluation helps determine the most cost-effective solution.
Can you replace just the tank or just the drain field?
Yes, partial replacement is possible if only one component has failed and the rest of the system remains functional. Technicians assess the entire system to recommend the best approach.
Will replacement require new permits and inspections?
Yes, full system replacement typically requires new permits and inspections to ensure compliance with current codes. Technicians handle coordination with local authorities throughout the project.
How long will my property be disrupted during replacement?
Most replacements finish within one week, depending on system size and site conditions. Crews work efficiently to minimize disruption and restore landscaping after installation is complete.
What causes septic systems to fail in older homes?
Common causes include tank corrosion, drain field saturation, root intrusion, and soil compaction. In Lexington, aging systems often face challenges from heavy clay soils and outdated installation methods.

When repairs no longer keep your system running, replacement offers a permanent solution that protects your home and eliminates ongoing headaches. Schedule your septic replacement evaluation today and move forward with a system you can trust.
