Frequently Asked Questions

The average lifespan of a Septic system is about 25 years. There are multiple factors to that can influence lifespan including soil condition, system installation and components, maintenance, and household use habits.

If water is pooling around or over the tank, it usually indicates the tank is overfull and the fields are backed up. Call 914-980-3554 for a free assessment.

All septage smells badly, but a noticeable smell usually indicates the tank is not sealed off or is indicative of some other issues. Leonardi & Son can help troubleshoot the cause and resolve it. 

Our professional technicians can locate a buried tank using a couple of techniques. To locate it yourself, get your property's 'As-Built' document from the county’s health department.

The best ways to keep your system running optimally and increase lifespan are regular maintenance (pumping, inspections, etc) and proper usage habits.

Leonardi & Son Construction can perform inspections but we do not perform pumping services.

We gladly accept personal checks and cash.
