Replacement of Non-Compliant Septic System
When is the last time you thought about your onsite Septic System? It is one of the most important investments that you have on your Minnesota property. A MN Septic System that has been Properly Designed, Installed and Maintained provides safe and affordable treatment of household sewer and wastewater. With proper maintenance an on-site sewage treatment system can last up to 40 years. A professional inspection called a Compliance Inspection is used to determine if an existing Septic System is in compliance with state, county and local codes. Compliance Inspections must be handled by a MPCA Certified Inspector such as Brad Krotzer of Custom Septic, Inc. If your sewage system is found to be in Non-Compliance you may be told to Repair, Update or Replace your Septic System.
Mini Sewage Treatment Systems
In 2012 Minnesota had approximately 546,000 Septic Systems used as Miniature Sewage Treatment Systems. Of the more that half million individual MN septic systems, 12% were declared to be a Health Threat by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). A properly functioning Septic System is vitally important to the health of your family, the surrounding community and the environment.
Septic System Compliance Inspections
A MPCA Certified Septic Inspector is qualified to evaluate existing septic systems to determine if they are in Compliance with all Minnesota state and local regulations. Upon completion of the inspection you will be given either a Certificate of Compliance (COC) or a Notice of Non-Compliance (NON).
Minnesota Property owners with Non Compliant or Failing Septic Systems will be put on notice to Repair the problem or have their Septic System Replaced. You will be given a time frame in which to Upgrade, Repair or Replace a Non-compliant Sewer System on your land.
Septic System Replacement Costs
Septic System Replacement Costs can vary widely. The average cost for a Minnesota Septic System Installation can range from $3,000 to $16,000.

Is it true that during a sale of a house you have to replace the septic system IF it is older than 20 years?
No, that is not necessarily true. Age is less of a factor than type of system and how it was used and maintained.
It should be inspected prior to sale, and only if it is found to be not up to state or local code, or broken or damaged in some way would it need to be repaired or replaced.
