"My experience with Apex Septic was 10 out of 10! Matthew was there at the very beginning, explaining in detail the pros and cons of each system and the permits I would need. He went above and beyond, making a daunting, challenging and sometimes confusing project crystal clear and easier to navigate. I would hire Apex again and highly recommend!"

"My wife and I found out that the foundation underneath our home had settled and thus pulled our PVC pipes causing them to crack in numerous places. We basically needed our entire plumbing system under the house replaced.A friend referred Legend Plumbing & Septic to us and we could not have been more fortunate to work with them. Bret and Jesse were incredibly responsive and thorough in their initial inspection, describing what needed to be done, how long it would take, etc. They kept to deadlines and performed everything as planned. No hidden costs and no hidden delays. They even arranged for any sub-contract work that was needed. They handled everything with the permits and was very thorough and professional.Jesse and Bret were patient and helpful with any questions that we had and were transparent throughout the entire process. All of the workers that replaced our pipes we punctual, professional, and courteous.This was a major job that could have caused us so many headaches,but Legend Plumbing & Septic made it very stress free for us.We highly recommend Legend Plumbing & Septic for any of your plumbing needs, especially major plumbing issues!"

"I called Jack on Tuesday to explore the possibility of installing a new hot water heater.  The old one was beginning to deliver sediment to the down stairs tub in the form of black, gravel like gunk.  He came by that afternoon to explore options for either flushing the existing heater or replacing it.  We  agreed that the best option was simply to replace the old heater since it was so old.  He said he could schedule the installation for Friday morning.  By Thursday the gunk coming into the tub made it unusable.
The next think I knew he informed me that he had a change in his schedule and could install the new heater Thursday afternoon.  He arrived at 3:00 PM and at 5:00 PM we had a new water heater, lines flushed and crystal clear water filling the tub.
This is the fourth time I have used Jack Crew and I will certainly call him again with any of my plumbing needs.

"It could not have gone better! Wayne Tori came quickly was punctual, professional, and drained my septic tank. As I have additional problems, he was honest, not sugar-coating my situation, and was able to give me suggestions for choices moving forward."

"3 Plumbers & Dad LLC were excellent to work with. I needed to get a Pressure Reducing Valve installed because the PSI on the water pressure from the main line to the house was too high. I found them through Angie's list, and called to set up an appointment for the quote. They have a really user friendly reminder system so after calling I got an automated email with the date/time and they arrived on time for the appointment. After that initial visit Teresa sent me 4 quotes! The first had just the work I initially called about, installing the PRV. The other 3 had additional options based on their best practice recommendations - such as installing a Thermal Expansion Tank to prevent PRV discharge and replacing the flexible piping on my water heater with solder weld copper. Each quote had a different price point and thorough explanation of each component so I could make a well informed decision and pick the option that best suited my needs and budget. I chose to upgrade the project from just the PRV to the PRV along with the Thermal Expansion Tank and Copper piping. The install went very well, again sent me an appointment reminder and were on time for the install appointment. They were very professional and showed me the work and the new location for shutting off the main line in the event of an emergency after the PRV install. I highly recommend working with them, I will absolutely use them again for any future plumbing needs!"

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Austin, TX

The smallest standard septic system uses a 500-gallon tank, which costs between $875 and $1,150 installed. This size works well for single-occupant dwellings with minimal wastewater production. However, many local regulations specify minimum tank sizes, so check with your building department before committing to this compact option. Some jurisdictions require at least 750 gallons regardless of home size to ensure adequate waste processing capacity.

The installation timeline varies based on site conditions, permit processing, and contractor schedules. The process includes obtaining permits, conducting soil tests, excavation, tank placement, leach field construction, and final connections. Weather conditions, soil challenges, and inspection scheduling can all affect the overall timeline. It's wise to begin planning well in advance of when you need the system operational.

The most economical approach is to install a conventional anaerobic system with a plastic tank. To minimize costs while maintaining legality, obtain multiple quotes from licensed installers, consider scheduling during their slower seasons, and handle basic site preparation yourself. Never skip permits or required testing to save money—illegal installations can result in significant fines and mandatory removal, ultimately costing far more than doing it right initially.

Regular pumping helps prevent system failures and extends operational life. Most small systems require pumping every three to five years, though frequency depends on household size and usage patterns. Pumping services cost between $290 and $530, making this maintenance expense relatively minor compared to potential repair costs ranging from $500 to $2,600 for neglected systems. Establishing a regular maintenance schedule based on your installer's recommendations helps avoid costly emergency services.
