No obligation · Fast response · Savannah specialists
Every type of septic replacement — from a single failing drain field to a complete system overhaul. Permits, engineering, and inspection included.
A failed drain field is the most common replacement job we do in Savannah. We excavate the old field, prep the soil correctly, install new perforated pipe and gravel beds, and restore your yard. Most drain field replacements finish in 1–3 days.
Cracked, collapsed, or severely corroded tanks can't be patched indefinitely. We remove your old tank, install a properly sized new concrete or poly tank, reconnect all lines, and handle every county permit and inspection — start to finish.
When both tank and drain field have failed, we replace the complete system. We engineer to current Georgia EPD standards, pull all permits, complete the installation, and guarantee a first-time county inspection pass.
Septic replacement in Savannah requires county permits, soil perc testing, and engineered drawings. We manage all of it in-house. You never make a single trip to the county health department — we handle every bit of the paperwork.
