Are you considering a cistern installation for your residential or commercial property? This water storage solution can be a game-changer for managing your water resources. But before you dive in, it’s essential to understand the process, including the factors that impact cost and timeline. The team at Zeus Excavating LLC, experts in small excavation services, is here to break it down for you.
What Drives the Cost of Cistern Installation?
The total cost of a cistern installation can vary significantly. Here are the key factors at play:
Size and Material: The larger the cistern, the more materials needed, and the higher the cost. Your choice of material – concrete, plastic, or fiberglass – also impacts the price tag and the durability of your cistern.
Site Accessibility and Prep: If the installation site is hard to reach or requires a lot of clearing and excavation, expect higher costs. But don’t worry, Zeus Excavating LLC has the right equipment to handle challenging sites efficiently.
Installation Complexity: Integrating your cistern with existing plumbing systems, and adding features like filters or pumps, adds complexity and cost. Each extra component means more labor and materials.
Local Regulations and Permits: Compliance with building codes and permit fees add to the overall expense. Zeus Excavating LLC is here to guide you through the red tape, ensuring your installation meets all requirements.
The Cistern Installation Timeline
Here’s what to expect from the installation process:
Planning and Permits (Days to Weeks): This initial phase involves consultation, planning, and securing necessary permits. The timeline varies depending on local regulations and project complexity.
Excavation and Prep (1-3 Days): This critical phase is where Zeus Excavating LLC shines. Their expertise in small excavations ensures swift, safe work, minimizing property disruption.
Cistern Installation (1-Several Days): For simple setups, the cistern can be installed and connected in a day. More complex jobs, requiring extensive plumbing work, take longer.
Backfilling and Landscaping (1-2 Days): After installation, the site is backfilled and restored. This takes a day or two, with extra time for any landscaping to leave your property looking better than before.
