Septic Tank Replacement in Unionville, NC

Block tanks found on older Unionville homesteads along Olive Branch Road and Austin Chaney Road are carefully excavated, pumped, and demolished in place before a modern pre-fabricated replacement tank is installed in the same or improved location. Our Union County technicians ensure the new system meets current code standards that the original hand-built structure never had to follow.

Replacement brings Unionville’s older systems along Unionville-Indian Trail Road and near Mount Moriah Church into compliance with current NC regulations for tank capacity, wall integrity, baffle design, riser access, and effluent filtration. Legacy systems that predate these standards must meet current Union County code when replaced, regardless of their original construction method.

Dense tree cover on Unionville properties near Mount Moriah Church and along the Goose Creek corridor means root systems may have infiltrated old tanks and distribution lines. Our crew evaluates root proximity, may need to clear encroaching growth during excavation, and positions the new tank to minimize future root interference on wooded Union County lots.
