Aerobic septic systems have an average cost between $10,000 and $20,000<\/strong>, as they are fairly complicated systems. The simpler anaerobic septic system has an average cost between $2,000 and $5,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/img><\/p>\n Below are some example septic system installation prices by location:<\/strong><\/p>\n *Source: Homeadvisor.com users<\/p>\n Aerobic septic systems require aerobic bacteria (bacteria that likes oxygen) as well as an air pump to aerate the septic tank and promote waste break down. Though costs vary depending on the size of the system, soil conditions, and your location, aerobic setups are more complicated than their anaerobic counterparts and come at a higher price.<\/p>\n <\/img> <\/p>\n Anaerobic septic systems rely on anaerobic bacteria (bacteria that dislikes oxygen) to break down waste material. Costs for these systems vary based on size, your location, and soil conditions.<\/p>\n <\/img><\/p>\n Installation costs for installing septic systems are often as much as the system itself, if not higher.<\/p>\n You may be tempted to install the system yourself to avoid these costs, but working with a professional is the best way to ensure the job is done right. Tanks that are not properly installed lead to leaking and water pollution, which can cause extensive damage and costly repairs.<\/p>\n As you look for an installer, keep in mind that cost should not be you only consideration. The lowest bid might be attractive price-wise, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best person for the job. Pay attention to experience, quality of work, and reputation before you think of costs. It is a good idea to ask others about their experience with an installer to get an idea of the job they will do for you.<\/p>\n Aerobic systems have three separate tanks. Waste enters the first one and settles into layers, then moves into the next tank (the treatment tank) where an aerator moves bubbles of oxygen through the waste. This is where the aerobic bacteria consumes the materials. It then moves to a pump tank for final treatment. There are benefits and drawbacks to aerobic septic systems.<\/p>\n Simpler than their aerobic counterparts, anaerobic septic systems are comprised of a septic tank and two main pipes; one that goes to the house and one that goes into the yard. Several smaller pipes split from the main pipe, sitting just below the surface of the lawn. Waste settles in the tank and is eaten by anaerobic bacteria. Liquid waste floats to the top, moves to the smaller pipes under the surface of the soil, then filters out into the soil. There are advantages and disadvantages to these systems.<\/p>\n The choice between aerobic and anaerobic septic systems usually comes down to personal preference. Ask yourself these questions:<\/p>\n A quick Google search should turn up plenty of septic contractors in your area. But not all are alike – you shouldn\u2019t just pick one at random.
