Establish Why Replacement Fits
Rule out outlet, dosing and localized pipe faults. The findings should explain why targeted repair is not enough.
Evaluate the Available Space
Check soil, slope, setbacks and the reserved repair area. The old field footprint is not an automatic approval for reuse.
Review What Can Remain
Tank condition, capacity and required treatment determine whether it can stay. Field-only and full-system proposals are different.
Follow the Approved Layout
Confirm the county permit path and inspection stages. Coordinate utility marking and safe equipment access.
Care for the New Field
Keep vehicles, paving and deep roots away. Maintain solids removal and spread out heavy water use.
