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 Ovid 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 Ovid 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.

Ovid sits on the central plateau between Seneca and Cayuga lakes in Seneca County, on the narrow ridge of terrain that divides the two Finger Lakes watersheds. Soils across the village and surrounding agricultural-to-commercial parcels are predominantly Ovid silt loam, the series named for the town, along with Honeoye silt loam on the better-drained till, Lansing silt loam on the middle slopes, and Lima silt loam on the lower ground.
Drainage falls to both sides of the ridge through short, steep tributaries feeding Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake respectively. Commercial site work in Ovid regularly involves managing fragipan-restricted subsurface drainage across essentially all of the silt loam uplands, slope stability on the steeper western and eastern flanks of the ridge, and stormwater design that has to satisfy Finger Lakes watershed protection standards for either receiving lake. Shallow shale bedrock can appear on the highest ridge sections. Frost depth is moderate given the lake-moderated microclimate. Projects along Route 96 that climb toward Willard and toward Lodi routinely require rock excavation and slope stability engineering on the steeper ridge flanks.
