can’t say enough good things about Marcus with RITEWAY Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing. He was exceptionally professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, honest. Marcus quickly identified the problem with something that had originally been installed by RITEWAY about two years ago and had since failed. Instead of making excuses or trying to sidestep the issue, he was straightforward about what he found and went above and beyond to help us get it resolved. That kind of integrity is becoming incredibly hard to find. I sincerely hope RITEWAY management recognizes what they have in Marcus. An honest technician who puts the customer first is an asset to any company, not someone who should ever be penalized for telling the truth. His professionalism and integrity left a far greater impression on us than the original problem ever could. Marcus represented RITEWAY exceptionally well, and he is the reason I would feel comfortable recommending them. Take care of technicians like Marcus—they’re the ones who earn customers’ trust and keep them coming back.

Yesterday Jerad came to our house within 3 hours of us calling Rite Ways dispatch to help us with fixing the clogged pipe that drains the HVAC system. Our AC was cooling our house down in no time, thank you for your help! Luckily we got our AC last year with Rite Way HVAC so this service was all under warranty and Jerad came over to assist us with no charge.

Brandon was determined to get to the source of my plumbers knock noise and eliminated it. He also did a thorough job of cleaning my two drains. My tankless water heater needed its first cleanse and he took care of that effeciently.

Our Commitment to Tucson, AZ

A septic tank installation affects your property for decades. Rite Way treats it that way. Our team knows Tucson’s soil, drainage patterns, and local code requirements and we bring that knowledge to every project. We’ve worked on lots of all shapes and sizes across the region, from rocky Foothills terrain to open desert flatlands. From Marana to Vail and Sahuarita to Oro Valley, homeowners trust us to get the job done right without surprises. That’s a standard we take seriously on every single job.

Signs You Need a New Septic Tank

Not every septic problem calls for a full replacement but some do. Here are signs that a new tank may be the right move:

  • Persistent backups or slow drains that don’t clear up after a septic pumping or repair
  • An aging system – most tanks last 20 to 40 years; if yours is getting close, replacement may cost less than ongoing repairs
  • Repair costs that keep climbing and are adding up faster than a new system would
  • Visible tank damage – cracks or structural failure that can’t be patched effectively
  • A failed drain field – when the drain field is beyond repair, a new system is often the only real fix
  • A home sale where the current system won’t pass inspection

 

Not sure which way to go? Rite Way will look at your system and give you a straight answer.

Rite Way’s Septic Tank Installation Process

Our installation process is thorough, transparent, and designed to minimize disruption to your property:

  • Site evaluation: We assess your lot: soil conditions, available space, setback requirements, and proximity to water sources all factor into tank placement and system design.
  • Permitting: We handle the required permits with your local jurisdiction so you don’t have to navigate that process alone.
  • Excavation and installation: Our team excavates to the right depth for Tucson’s soil conditions, then installs and seals the new tank properly to prevent leakage or groundwater intrusion.
  • System connection: We connect the new tank to your home’s plumbing and drain field.
  • Final walkthrough: Once installation is complete, we walk you through your new system – including maintenance expectations and when to schedule your first pump-out.

 

Cost of a New Septic Tank: Financing with Rite Way

Septic tank installation and replacement in Tucson typically ranges from $2,000 to $16,000. Your final cost depends on a few key factors:

  • Tank size and material: Larger tanks and certain materials like concrete cost more than smaller plastic or fiberglass options
  • Site conditions: Rocky terrain, difficult access, or a high water table add to excavation complexity
  • System type: A standard tank and leach field differs in cost from an alternative system like a mound or aerobic setup
  • Permitting: Local permit fees and required inspections are part of the total project cost

 

Rite Way provides clear, itemized quotes before any work begins. We also offer financing options to help make a necessary replacement more manageable. Ask our team about current plans when you call.

Tucson, AZ Septic Tank Installation & Replacement FAQs

When should I replace my septic tank?

If your system is over 20 to 30 years old, requires repeated repairs, or has failed inspection, replacement is often more cost-effective than continuing to patch an aging system.

In most cases, yes. Though you’ll need to avoid using water during active excavation and installation, which typically takes one to two days.

The most common options are concrete, fiberglass, and plastic tanks; each with different costs, lifespans, and suitability depending on your soil conditions and site layout.

Some excavation is unavoidable, but Rite Way works carefully to minimize disruption and restore the area as much as possible once the job is complete.

Schedule regular pump-outs every three to five years, avoid flushing non-biodegradable materials, limit garbage disposal use, and have the system inspected periodically to catch any issues early.
