Septic service cost Septic service cost is the total price of a septic job, made up of the work itself, the volume and access of the tank, the travel distance, and any permits or disposal fees the job requires. Every service has its own set of cost drivers.

Knowing what actually drives the price makes it possible to compare quotes on the same terms instead of on one number.

We publish a range only where we can stand behind it. Where a range is not published yet, the honest answer is a quote for your property, so that is what the table says. Call 720-427-7557 and we will price the job on the phone or on site.
