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 Palmyra 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 Palmyra 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.

Palmyra occupies the Ganargua Creek valley in western Wayne County, inside the Finger Lakes drumlin field. Soils across the village and the Route 31 commercial corridor are dominated by Palmyra gravelly loam, the series named for the village, and Honeoye silt loam on the drumlin flanks, with Canandaigua silty clay loam and Wayland silt loam on the creek and Erie Canal flats.
The Erie Canal, Ganargua Creek, and Red Creek all define drainage on the village's buildable land, and the canal prism triggers NYS Canal Corp review for any adjacent earthwork. Commercial site work in Palmyra regularly involves cobble-heavy trenching in the Palmyra outwash, structural fill on the clay-loam flats, and dewatering on canal-adjacent parcels where shallow groundwater is common. Stormwater design ties into the Ganargua / Clyde / Seneca River watershed. Shallow dolostone bedrock can appear on the higher drumlin summits. Frost depth is moderate, reflecting the lake-moderated western Wayne climate. Projects near the canal also have to coordinate grading with the NYS Canal Corp maintenance easement. Structural fill is common on the low-lying clay-loam parcels.
