Terms of use

Last updated: 2026-07-30

Using this site means accepting these terms. They are short because the site's job is simple.

Estimates, not quotes

Every number on this site is a planning estimate built from published national cost studies — each one sourced, dated, and labeled on the methodology page. None of it is a quote, a bid, or a price commitment. Real costs depend on your soil, your county's rules, and your contractor's pricing, and only real bids reflect those. Where a figure is our own derivation or assumption rather than a sourced number, the page that shows it says so.

Not professional advice

Nothing here is engineering, legal, or health-department advice, and the repair-vs-replace helper in particular is an informational screening aid, not a professional assessment. Decisions about designing, permitting, repairing, or replacing a septic system belong with your local licensed professionals and your permitting authority.

Liability boundary

The site is provided as-is. We work hard to keep every figure tied to its source — that is the point of the site — but we cannot guarantee that any estimate matches what your project will cost, and we accept no liability for decisions made on these planning numbers alone. If a figure looks wrong, tell us via the contact page and we will check it against its source.
