"The company is HPP Home Project Pros, owner Darren McComas (formerly House Medic). When I hired Mr. McComas, he didn’t offer a contract and I didn’t ask. My mistake. He is the husband of the dentist who took over my former dentist’s practice so I trusted him. He gave me a quote and I agreed to do the job. He wanted a down payment of half the amount. At the time I said to him that I wouldn’t have to pay again until job completed and he said yes. The job was to take out an old bathtub and install a shower. It’s a small bathroom. After taking out tub, his foreman, Scott Woods, told me that the premade shower piece was too big, and they would have to custom build the shower. For $1,000 more! My tub was out with a hole in the floor! I didn’t have a choice. I texted Mr. McComas that he should have measured. He never responded nor did I ever hear from him again.

At the end of the first week, Mr. Woods asked for more money again. I mentioned that Mr. McComas said I didn’t have to pay more until completed. But then they added more cost to the job which shouldn’t have been my problem. I pointed out things that needed touched up to Mr. Woods. One evening over the phone he threatened to leave the job. I asked how would Mr. McComas feel about that. He responded that Mr. McComas told him he could get his tools and leave when I hesitated about paying more. He again wanted paid in full before he was coming back the following day to finish up. He needed to seal the shower. He left a spray can for me to add another layer. He indicated that it was the homeowner’s job to seal. I had never installed a shower. How did I know how to seal? Well, it was a spray can. He installed the shower head but didn’t check after. My handyman had to adjust the shower head because it was leaking. The curtain rod is a tension rod and has fallen three times. I also think the step into the shower should be a little deeper so the water won’t leak out from around the shower curtain. I would not use them again and do not recommend them."

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Charleston, WV

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.
