Tank & Field publishes plain-language guides about septic systems for US homeowners. Before you rely on anything you read here, take a minute with this page. It explains what our content is, what it is not, and where responsibility sits.
This is a general template and not legal advice. If you run a site like this, have a qualified attorney review your own disclaimer before publishing.
General information
Our content is for information, not instruction for your specific system
Everything on Tank & Field, from how a drain field works to what pumping costs in your region, is general educational content. It is written for a wide audience of homeowners, not for your particular tank, soil, county or situation.
We are not septic contractors, engineers, inspectors or attorneys, and reading this site does not create any professional relationship between you and Tank & Field. Nothing here replaces an on-site evaluation by a licensed professional who can open your tank and look at your yard.
Septic rules vary by state and often by county. A distance, depth or inspection requirement in one guide may be different where you live. Always confirm local requirements with your county health department or environmental agency before you dig, build or sign anything.
No guarantees
We work for accuracy, but we do not guarantee completeness
We research our guides carefully and mark cost guides with a Last checked date so you can judge how current the numbers are. Even so, we cannot promise that every page is complete, error-free or up to date at the moment you read it.
Prices move, regulations change and products come and go. Dollar ranges in our cost guides are ballpark figures for planning, not quotes. The only number that counts is the written estimate from a contractor working in your area.
If something on this site looks wrong or outdated, we want to hear about it. Until it is fixed, treat any single page as a starting point and verify the details that matter to your decision.
Your responsibility
Limitation of liability
You use this site at your own risk. Decisions you make about your septic system, your home purchase or a contractor you hire are yours, even if one of our guides helped you think them through.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tank & Field and its contributors are not liable for any loss or damage that results from using, or being unable to use, this site or its content. That includes direct, indirect, incidental and consequential damages, such as repair costs, property damage or losses tied to a real estate transaction.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limits on liability. Where that is the case, our liability is limited to the maximum the law allows.
