Septic Tank Replacement

Septic Tank Replacement in Bangor

When a tank cracks, leaks, or fails a real estate inspection, replacement is often cheaper than living with a system that backs up. Paulineachen removes the old tank and sets a new watertight unit for Bangor homeowners, most commonly a 1,000 to 1,500 gallon tank matched to household size. We offer concrete, polyethylene, and fiberglass tanks, and we help you weigh the tradeoffs for your lot.

Why Replace Rather Than Repair

• A cracked tank leaks. Once the concrete or the baffles fail, effluent escapes untreated, which is exactly what the four foot separation to groundwater is meant to prevent.
• It protects the drainfield. A failing tank sends solids downstream and clogs the leach field, and a new drainfield costs far more than a new tank.
• It clears a sale. Buyers and lenders often require a sound tank and a passing inspection before a closing, and a fresh install settles the question.

Our Process

We pump and remove the old tank, prepare the bed, and set the new unit level with new inlet and outlet baffles, an effluent filter, and riser lids brought up to grade. We reconnect the Schedule 40 PVC lines, backfill, and leave you with an as built record. Most tank swaps are a one day job once the permit is in hand.
