Confirm Replacement Is Needed
Rule out outlet, pump or localized distribution faults. The findings should explain why targeted repair is insufficient.
Evaluate the Replacement Area
Review soil, seasonal wetness, wells, setbacks and access. The old footprint does not automatically qualify for reuse.
Check What Can Stay
Review tank condition, capacity and treatment needs. Field-only work differs from complete system replacement.
Complete the Approved Repair
Apply for the appropriate permit and follow its plot plan. Obtain required inspections and operating approval before use.
Maintain the New Field
Protect the area from traffic and paving. Fix leaks and maintain tank solids removal so waste does not reach the field.
