    When you are buying or selling a home it will be common place to have a septic system inspection. Unfortunately, at times a septic system will fail causing the necessary replacement of said system. When it comes to home improvements, a septic system replacement is one of the most costly.

    Quite often consumers wonder how much it will be to replace a septic tank. What they really should be asking is how much it costs to replace a septic system. You may be wondering why? Well, a septic tank rarely fails. While from time to time they can get cracks that can be repaired or have a cap that needs to replaced, they don't often need a complete replacement.

    A leach field on the other hand does fail and this is where the big money can be. A leach field is the most expensive part of a septic system. It is possible to spend upwards of twenty to fifty thousand on replacing a leach field. If you need your septic tank replaced rather than a leach field you will be getting off far easier as a septic tank only costs a few thousand dollars.

    There are a few important things that will dictate the cost of replacing a septic system. Some of the more prominent is how high the existing water table is. The local board of health will want to make sure the system is not going to contaminate the groundwater. So, when the water table is high the new system will need to be mounded. This creates an additional expense and also an unsightly look.

    The soils will also have an impact on the septic cost as well. You may need to truck in new soils to replace what is there, especially when the material is not porous. Land consisting mostly of claw makes a septic much more costly. Finally, the area in which you live can have a significant impact on septic costs.

    In the reference from Maximum Real Estate Exposure, you will find one of the most in-depth articles explaining not only the cost to replace the septic tank but also the entire system. It is loaded with helpful information you should know about septic systems when buying or selling a home.
