Drywell Installation Cost

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Construction unit cost for installing a concrete drywell (either for rainwater disposal, or to handle overflow from a septic tank in very well drained soil).

Unit Size

One tank.

Labor and Equipment Costs

We figure 2 hours of backhoe time, and 4 hours of unskilled laborer time. It will be about the same time to install a plastic drywell-- you might save 15 minutes on the installation time.

Add additional time if the soil is very difficult to excavate, or if the location is extremely inaccessible.

Material Costs

One drywell, plus one length of 4" drain pipe and a few ells.

Suggested Quantity

No suggestion. Enter the number of drywells needed.

Source of Construction Pricing

We kept track of hours on one installation done by Turtle Creek Construction.
