Septic to Sewer Conversion Services

If your drainfield failed and you're staring at a $20k+ replacement and a municipal sewer is right nearby, conversion is a cleaner and more lasting solution than more repairs. The same thing applies if the septic tank had repeated fixes, the tank is old, or parts started to fall out. Another reason could be a house where you're trying to add it and the current septic tank turns out to be undersized.

For some Upstate homeowners there is no choice but to connect. Some areas are mandated to hook up to city sewer once the main is installed (part of neighborhood sewer expansion).

Once you get your property hooked up to municipal sewage, you don't have to worry about your household waste system with a standard utility bill.

Here are some practical differences. Property owners don't need to worry about pumping it out or the drainfield after rains. No more interpreting the soggy patch in your lawn for potential groundwater contamination (outdated septic systems are a common source of that pollution). Instead of septic tank repair bills, you now pay a sewer fee.

For older properties this can be a lifesaver. A failing septic system has an unfortunate tendency to fail at the worst possible time, in particular during a sale when the potential buyer asks questions, inspectors poke around, and any uncertainty gets factored into the deal. That includes water quality concerns from failing drainfields.

In Upstate SC (and most places) where municipal sewer systems become available, this removes the burden of maintaining old septic tanks and drainfields. Once connected, your wastewater goes to a treatment plant instead of going back into the ground via your private drain field.

Our conversion projects have a straightforward workflow.
