Septic Compass is a free service that connects homeowners with licensed local septic companies. We are not a contractor and do not perform septic work.
A septic system is replaced when the tank or drain field has failed beyond repair. Replacement usually means a new tank, a new drain field, or both, sized to current code and permitted by the county. It is one of the larger home repairs, often $7,000–$25,000+ depending on system type and soil.
| Scope | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Tank only | $3,000–$7,000 |
| Drain field only | $5,000–$20,000 |
| Full system | $7,000–$25,000+ |
