"We had a plumbing issue we called All American Plumbing And Drain . We have used them in the past for toilet & shower stoppages that was over a year ago, my boss Keith found his information and I called and they were able to come out that day. I called other companies and they were not able to make it out no less than 24 hours even though it was an urgent emergency. They were here in less than 2 hours that same day . We ended up replacing our entire drain plumbing system and it was done in 2 days even though they had other jobs they were still able complete my job . The owner had his crew here working and they were able to get the job done . I highly recommend these guys they will do you right!"

"Alex with 805 Plumbing was quick to respond to our request for help with our septic system. He offered options for us to deal with the problem, and allowed me to watch as he diagnosed our situation with the use of a camera. I never felt pressure to take a path that would be more expensive, and every step of the way I was kept informed of what he had discovered. I am confident that our problems were efficiently taken care of, and although I would not wish septic problems on anyone I would recommend Alex and 805 Plumbing to anyone who is in need of plumbing services. Alex is a reliable, fairly priced, professional, and experienced plumber, and I will use him again in the future. "

"HONEST. Licensed. Reliable. Responsive. Knowledgeable. Communicative. Competent. Great value. Lonnie is all these things. I have used Lonnie several times: 1) plumbing repipe an en entire house 2) install new water heaters in two different houses 3) run sewer cameras in four different houses 4) pressure jetted sewer lines in three different houses 5) re-routed furnace gas lines 6) multiple smaller jobs I use Lonnie for my plumbing jobs because I trust him. I simply call him, explain what needs to be done. He provides me a very competitive quote, He starts the job quickly, keeps me updated on progress or if any unexpected issues arise. The job is done competently on a timely basis. Cleanup is thorough. Even after all my dealings with him, I am still surprised AND impressed with how responsive he is to my phone calls and texts . I know it can be stressful finding a plumber.that is trustworthy. I have already done the hard part for you. The fact I have used him several times and for large jobs (and smaller jobs) speaks volumes about his skill and even more so about his character. Call Lonnie and you will quickly realize he will competently complete your job. Furthermore, once heâ s done, you will feel very comfortable recommending him to to friends and family."

"The 50 year old septic system for our home was breaking down. Not just the tank itself, but the leach lines were crumbling. Drain Masters completely overhauled the system and despite the expense we are very satisfied."

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Port Hueneme, CA

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.
