"They repaired my septic system and did it right.My tank was hard to locate and they had to dig down a long way to get to it. I had broken main lines going to tank and they replaced them and created an access pipe so next time it is pumped it will be a breeze. I recomend them highly. Very nice gentlemen."

"Apex Painting & Remodeling was actually brought in as a subcontractor because of my desire for a built-in bookcase that my potential painter could not do.  He gave me his bid, which encompassed the whole job, to paint my den, formal living room and dining room and to build a custom recessed book shelf to match one on the other side of my fireplace.  It was higher by several hundred dollars than the painter who brought him in, but I just felt he would do a better job for me and I was right.  While I knew the first guy was getting half of the pay, he rarely was on the job and when he was, he rarely did any work.  My children called him "the lazy one".   But I was so thankful he brought Apex in to "help" with my house!   I provided the materials and the owner/operator of Apex, Mr. Roberts provided the skill and labor.  I wanted to see the quality of  the work before I hired Apex for my entire project.  I have just purchased an older home that needs updating. The den was dark paneling which either had to be removed and replaced with sheet rock or floated and painted over.  I chose to have the paneling painted over to save on costs.  Mr. Roberts prepped, primed and painted the walls.  I also had him put up a chair rail and he brought and installed baseboards around the entire den, as we noticed there were none in the room. At first I just wanted to paint the room one color, but then changed my mind and added the chair rail and one color on bottom, one on top and of course a trim color.  This did not faze Mr. Roberts at all, he was happy to accommodate me. I also chose a semi-gloss, but after two coats of semi-gloss was applied, I was not thrilled with the look, so he suggested one coat of flat, which is what we did, only he felt it needed two coats of flat for excellent coverage & that is what he did.  No Complaints.  I decided to add crown molding in my formal rooms with the corner blocks, only I did not like the corner blocks at the store, so he customized them exactly as I wanted.  My rooms are painted beautifully with no overlaps or drips.  He deglazed and sanded my trim twice before enameling, so it does not scratch off.  I know, he had me try to scratch the surface!   Also, no trim paint on the wall, no wall paint on the trim!  The built-in bookcase proved to be more than Mr. Roberts bargained for due to the structure of the house, but he did a wonderful job.  In fact, another contractor was over yesterday and asked what finish my bookcase had been before.  He was surprised when I told him they were newly built and had always been just as they are. I would certainly hire Apex Painting and Remodeling again.  In fact, I have.  He is going to help me with the rest of my home.  I am so pleased that Mr. Roberts took the time to do the job right and paid attention to details.  He could have easily taken advantage of me, as my husband recently passed away, and I am a little lost when it comes to things around the house.    To be honest, I was overwhelmed with the task before me, but Apex came in, calmed me down and took care of it.  I like that Mr. Roberts usually works alone, so he can control the quality of the work.  He will explain what he is doing and why, if you want him to, otherwise, he is very quiet.  And he does not mind if you watch him work.  I would highly recommend Mr. Roberts at Apex Painting & Remodeling, in fact I have already given his card to several friends."

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Frierson, LA

Most septic system replacements require several days to complete, not including permitting and preparation time. The process begins with site assessment and testing, followed by excavation, component installation, and final inspection. Weather conditions, property accessibility, and inspection schedules can all affect your project timeline. Your contractor can provide a more specific estimate based on your property's unique characteristics.

Standard homeowners' insurance policies don't cover septic system replacement due to age or normal deterioration. Coverage may apply if damage results from specific covered events, but routine maintenance and eventual replacement are generally considered homeowner responsibilities. Review your policy details or speak with your insurance agent to understand your specific coverage limitations.

Look for multiple indicators such as slow-draining fixtures, unusual gurgling sounds in plumbing, sewage odors inside or outside your home, or wet spots in your yard. Unusually lush grass over the drain field area, frequent backups, or recurring repair needs might signal system failure. Addressing these warning signs promptly can prevent property damage and health hazards.

DIY septic installation is not recommended and may violate local regulations. Professional installation ensures compliance with health codes, proper design for your specific site conditions, and appropriate safety measures. The specialized equipment, technical knowledge, and permitting requirements make this a job best left to licensed professionals who can guarantee the system's safety and effectiveness.

With proper maintenance, including regular pumping, a drain field lasts 20 years. Various factors influence system longevity, including household size, water usage patterns, and soil conditions. Regular professional inspections can help determine when replacement becomes necessary. If your system requires increasingly frequent repairs, replacement might be more economical than continuing to address individual problems.
