Usually, when you have to get the permit to repair, or replace the septic system, they county usually makes you replace the tank as well, depending on the age of your old system. They will have to make your system up to code, which will require a Distribution box, and a minimum of 300 ft of leach field. Depending on sqft of your home. there is a newer system out there that you dont have to use the old rock and perferated pvc pipe, its called "Infiltrator" You have to dig the same distance and trench to the same spec, but all it is is like 1/2 a 55 gallon plastic barel cut in half that snap together end to end. It still costs about the same as the rock method, but you save a lot of time on installation, bout 1/2 the time actually. Check with you health department for the code updates, have soil samples raken, and go by the book, cause, when they come inspect it, you eithr pass, and you get to cover it up,, or you have to correct it before you are allowed to cover it back up. Just depends on how your health codes in your county are written. Have a look at that new style leach field,, Ive had one for years n years, with out any back ups, and its in pretty hard soil. if its a wet land area, go with the rock and perferated pvc, but if not, new style works great! Hope this helps,,, I worked in excavation for a few years and put systems in the darnedest places. good luck, ChadS
