Is $20,000 to replace my septic system a fair price?

Project Details

I am old now and kinda poor. I've realized too late that my habits—like planting water-loving trees near the drainfield, parking cars over it, and using harsh chemicals—led to my septic system's failure. I treated it like a public sewer for years without proper maintenance, cleaning the outlet filter, or keeping track of pumping dates.

Quote Details

A full replacement of the septic system following years of neglect and improper use. - Service: Full septic system replacement - Status: System failure due to long-term neglect and physical interference - Contributing Factors: Tree roots in drainfield, soil compaction from vehicles, chemical damage to biome, and grease accumulation
