What drives cost in Kansas
Statewide, the biggest factors are clay soils and deep frost. Locally, expansive clay soils can damage conventional drain fields. Permits and site work often account for 20–30% of the total.
Choosing the right system for your lot
Start with a soil test. If the soil is deep and well drained, a conventional system is usually the cheapest choice. If the water table is high or the lot is tight, expect a mound or aerobic system and a higher budget.
