Septic tanks last from 15 to 30 years.

Septic drain fields also called leach fields or leach drains are subsurface wastewater disposal facilities used to remove contaminants and impurities from the liquid that emerges after anaerobic digestion in a septic tank. Septic drain or leach field replacement will cost between 3 500 to 11 000 with most homeowners paying a total of 7 000 on average. The construction details including the layout of all sewers outside of the home the location and depth of all tanks the routing and depth of pressurized effluent lines and other system parts such as the drain field and any additional atus must match the septic system plans as approved by the local county health department.
