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 Skaneateles 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 Skaneateles 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.

Skaneateles sits at the north end of Skaneateles Lake in southwestern Onondaga County, on classic Finger Lakes terrain with steep lakefront slopes falling to a narrow lake-head flat. Soils across the village and surrounding commercial parcels are dominated by Honeoye silt loam and Lansing silt loam on the uplands, with Mardin channery silt loam on the higher and steeper ground and Wayland silt loam in the lake-outlet floodplain.
Skaneateles Lake is the unfiltered drinking-water supply for the City of Syracuse, which imposes some of the strictest watershed-protection standards in New York on any earthwork in or near the watershed. Commercial site work in Skaneateles regularly involves enhanced stormwater treatment, erosion and sediment controls above standard NYSDEC requirements, and careful grading design on the lakefront slopes. Shallow shale and siltstone bedrock can appear on the steeper valley walls. Frost-susceptible silt loams and the watershed overlay push pavement, slab, and utility details well beyond typical Onondaga County commercial standards. Projects in the watershed must coordinate with the Skaneateles Lake Watershed Agricultural Program staff in addition to standard Onondaga County MS4 review.
