Failed leach field? Tank past its life? We replace tanks, drain fields, and full systems to NYSDOH 75-A. Old system decommissioned, new system inspected and documented.
Three fields. We call back today, not next week.
Click through to see what a Backwell septic replacement in Cicero includes.
A field that stays soggy or backs up again right after pumping is usually done; biomat clogging does not heal. A sound tank with a failed field means field-only replacement. A cracked, rusted-out steel, or collapsing tank means tank replacement. We tell you which one you actually need after the site visit, in writing.
Yes, if the tank passes inspection. We perc test the replacement area, design to NYSDOH 75-A separation and sizing, and tie the new field into your existing tank. If the original field area is exhausted, the new field goes in a reserve area.
From signed contract to mobilization is typically 2-5 weeks, mostly county permit and design time. Active dig time on the property runs about 2-5 days for a conventional replacement, longer for engineered mound systems.
Yes. Design, county health department permit, inspections, and the final as-built all go through us. You sign one contract and get one written fixed price.
Local crew, local soil, local permit office.
Most failed systems in Cicero went in decades ago and were sized for smaller households. We do not nurse a dead leach field along with pump-outs. We perc test, design to current NYSDOH 75-A, and put in a system that passes inspection and holds up.

Cicero sits on the north shore of Oneida Lake in northeastern Onondaga County, on some of the flattest, wettest terrain in the county. The Cicero Swamp, a large peatland east of the village, defines the eastern half of the town, and soils across the I-81 and Route 31 commercial corridors are dominated by Sun silt loam, Lyons silt loam, and Carlisle muck, with pockets of Palmyra gravelly loam on the slightly higher beach ridges.
Hydrology is the defining challenge. The water table runs within a few feet of the surface across most of the township, and organic soils in the swamp have near-zero bearing capacity. Commercial excavation in Cicero routinely involves geotextile-reinforced subgrades, deep undercut and replacement with structural fill, year-round dewatering on slab and foundation work, and stormwater design tuned to the Oneida Lake watershed. Bedrock is deep. Frost heave and seasonal saturation push utility, pavement, and culvert design on essentially every commercial site. Projects along the Route 31 and I-81 corridors routinely require subsurface investigation before grading plans are finalized.
