"Wayne and his staff are very nice. I got 4 estimates for an irrigation system and Nolan Plumbing was the best. Wayne explained and took his time to make sure I knew what they would be doing! After the system was installed his staff showed me how everything worked. I am very pleased with everything."

"They gave us an estimate, we got a septic permit and then they gave us a proposal/price. We called them on a Friday to ask when they could start working. Sean said they would be out Monday to bring materials and start work on Tuesday. They got a slow start and showed up with the materials on Tuesday and a backhoe on Wednesday and started working on Thursday. The following Monday they had completed most of the work. They installed a new infiltrator 1080 gallon septic tank in the backyard to replace the existing gray water and septic tanks. They did not pump out either tank and broke apart the septic tank to make room for the new tank. They also installed a 540 gallon dosing tank with an alarm and pump. Then, they put an infiltrator drain field in the front yard and ran electrical to the pump. They finished this work on Monday and we didn't hear anything from them. I called the health department on Friday afternoon and was told that Xtreme renovations had just called them and that they would be able to send someone out from the health department on Monday. The work must have passed inspection because someone from Xtreme Renovations came out on Tuesday and they finished covering up the septic tanks, pump and drain field yesterday - Wednesday. During the process of covering up the drain field with sand, they broke our front walkway. When they called Wednesday for the last payment we told them it was broken and they sent someone out the same day to fix it. Start to finish it took them 2 and a half weeks to complete the job."

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Jacksonville, FL

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.
