Septic Tank Installation
Your home’s septic tank is one of the most important components for your new living space. Septic tank installation is among the many core services that Herrington’s LLC offers when you are moving into your new home.
The professionals at Herrington’s LLC will choose the right septic tank gallon size based on your home and family’s needs. Other factors of the specific septic system your home needs are where the tank is going to be located, what material the tank is made out of, and the rates at which the installer may charge.
Being a full-service installation company, we are able to remain extremely competitive in our market with all services we offer including septic tank installation.
Septic System Installation Cost
The price of installing a septic system can vary depending on a few different factors.
- The material the septic tank is made out of
- The ground the septic tank will be installed in
- The septic tank installation professional’s fee
Herrington’s will discuss the particular material of septic tank you want to install for your home. Plastic, poly or fiberglass septic tanks are typically what Herrington’s LLC installs because of their light weight yet durable structure.
The ground the septic tank will be installed in is a notable factor because if the ground is not deep enough, a sand mounting system for your home’s septic system is utilized. Another thing to factor in is septic tank placement. A vehicle cannot drive over your septic system because it would collapse, so positioning is important when installing your septic system.
Finally the septic tank installation professional’s fee is another expense to be mindful of. As mentioned, Herrington’s is a full service installation company. Our septic system installation fees are exceptionally competitive. You want to hire a company that is well-versed on all aspects of septic system installation.
Septic Tank Repair
If properly cleaned and maintained, a septic tank will last at least 20 years. There are a few warning signs that will indicate your sewage system is in need of repair.
One sure-fire sign is if sewage is backed up into your house. This could potentially be resolved by a plumber, but it’s always good to have a septic tank company on hand as well. Another sign that you need septic tank repair would be if there are terrible odors coming from your backyard.
You may need a plumber to repair a broken pipe, or your entire drain field may need to be replaced. The best thing you can do is not guess or self-diagnose exactly what the problem may be.
We strongly recommend calling a plumber and/or calling Herrington’s to professionally diagnose any potential problems with your septic system.
Routine Septic Tank Maintenance
Routine septic tank maintenance is extremely important in keeping your home’s septic tank lifespan on track. The average home septic system should be inspected at least every three years by a septic service professional.
Septic Tank Pumping
How your septic system needs to be pumped has to do with usage and household size, however our recommendation is to have your septic tank pumped every three to five years.

Your septic tank size also plays a large role in the frequency of how often it should be pumped. A Herrington’s LLC professional will give pumping and maintenance recommendations upon installation.
The Specifics of a Septic Tank
There is a huge benefit to the additional services that Herrington’s offers beyond sales and installation. We will be able to recommend and tailor the specific septic tank to your home and household needs.
Size of the Leach Field
The leach field, also known as a septic drain field, is an important component in your septic system. Most septic system failures are caused by failed drain field systems.
The leach field is the underground area where septic pipes filter the wastewater from the tank into the soil. The soil breaks the wastewater down into natural bacteria.
The leach field size is determined by usage, size of household, size of the tank and a couple other factors. This is where a septic professional’s expertise comes in to play.
Location of the Septic Tank
As we have discussed previously, the location of your septic tank is quite important because if you ever decide to relocate, you have to be mindful not to drive directly over the septic system. If a truck were to try to drive over your septic tank, it would collapse, causing severe issues.
