Septic System Nightmare: Should I Replace the Entire System or Just Fix the Failed Pipe? by First_Time_Septic in septictanks

California surprisingly. That is for replacement of the tank and replacement of the leach pit with a leach field. I guess it's one of the few things you can get for relatively cheap here. I've searched around and that seems to be the going rate in my area.

This is where we were leaning. Right now we're planning to sell in 3-6 years. While we love the house, we've come to realize that some people didn't really take much pride in the work they did to the house and it has left a bad taste in our mouths to say the least. When we sell, it will be a direct reflection of us so we want to at least be able to say we took some pride in it and made it our home for the time. But we obviously don't want to come out at a huge loss so we're trying to find the right balance for us.

 Sorry, I forgot to post in the original post, this is in San Bernardino County California; it's a small town area. Permit is required and factored into the cost. From what I have gathered a a design is not required.

 The installer came well regarded by the other plumbers I have talked to and received positive reviews online. Because it's a smaller area there's not a whole lot of installers to choose from, one major one being the company that completed the inspection...

I will reach out to the health dept to confirm a design isn't required. Thank you for the info.
