"I had to get the permit before I could get a firm estimate. Egans Environmental did the site testing and applied for the permit. Darrell Cruz pumped the septic and dosing tanks and provided the page 4 report. Harold from Clay County Master Plumbing gave the estimate and did the work. Harold did a great job. He was delayed by rain and the sand company having an equipment problem. However he stay with the job and completed it in a reasonable amount of time. The Duval inspector came and checked everything out and passed the job. I did not have CCMP do the sod replacement because the weather was too cold and it would have died. I plan to get that done when the weather warms up some. The cost below covers Egans Environmental, Darrell Cruz and CCMP. I would highly recommend all three of these companies."

"We have had semi emergency plumbing issues twice now and Duck Duck Rooter were the only company who could do the job in a timely manner. A little pricey in my opinion, but excellent quality work and we didn't have to wait to have the work done."

"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."

"Two bathrooms in my property were backing up. I was extremely irritated because the same issue occurred 3 months ago and was supposedly fixed by another plumber. This time I called Jim to check it out. He found that the previous plumber used improper pipes and connectors and never tied the laundry to the septic. None of the previous work was done to code. He discovered the prior work required a permit which the previous plumber never pulled. Jim came in and replaced everything with the required materials and pulled all the correct permits. His work was inspected by the city and passed with flying colors. His service was superb! I love how he took the time to go over everything he was going to do in great detail. He also helped lay out how exactly I should go after the other plumber to get a refund and even offered to represent me in court. If thatâ s not great service then I donâ t know what is. Letâ s just say Iâ ll be using Jim over and over again. I highly recommend his service"

"I had multiple bids for a septic drain field that I needed installed. Mr. Grant was very kind when he came out to do the assessment of the property he gave me a very competitive price, But above all else he was able to start the following week. He just completed today and his work was excellent. He cleaned up after himself. He Was extremely professional and went out of his way to make sure that I was happy. I live in Lake Asbury and all of these houses out here are on septic, I will be highly recommending him to all my people that I meet."

"John Walters and the AAA Construction and Restoration team are highly recommended. Our townhouse was built in 1967 and the bathroom was in serious need of remodeling, including significant water damage to the living room ceiling. John and his staff accompanied us to Home Depot twice to assist in selecting materials. The construction team was professional, hard-working, and always aimed to please. In fact, realizing that being out of the home was difficult for our family, the team even worked on Thanksgiving. They also even came the day after Thanksgiving to ensure that everything was perfect. It was. Our new bathroom is beautiful, the ceiling repaired, other work was also done and we are extremely pleased with the results. John Walters and the AAA Construction Team are A++. Work done included: Full bathroom remodeling with new shower/bath, toilet, vanity, mirror, fixtures, floor and shower tile with border, light fixtures, vent, painting. Replacement of structural beams, living room ceiling patch-up Downstairs toilet replacement Front door frame replacement"

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.
