"Barrett's Plumbing saved me a ton of headaches and money. Every 2-3 weeks I used to have to call someone to pump or clear my drain, ranging anywhere from $250-$300. Barrett's Plumbing was the only one to actually realize that I needed a whole new septic tank. Finally I no longer have to worry about any backups or flooding in my house."

"Chapman Septic came out and drained again. Rolando was very knowledgeable but warned me the pump out may not work. He was right. The drain field completely stopped working. Joe Chapman, the owner, came out and told us we needed to redo the drain field and of course bring the septic tank up to code. This was a 58 year old septic system. It was time. He made sure we could function through Thanksgiving...although we had a lovely view of a huge backhoe and completely dug up yard from the kitchen. I closed the blinds. Everyone art Chapman septic was so friendly and knew the stress I was going through. I highly recommend Chapman Septic. And they have coupons for pump outs!"

"Me:
This is H ___ V____. I have patiently waiting for over a month and a half for Jason to come to fix my tank. I get excuses every week when I call. This is my last attempt and then I am going to complain to the better business bureau and will write a negative review on Angie's list, Facebook and Yelp. Can this please be taken care of??
+1 (786) 218-9941:
Yes we are gong to get this done for you. Jason is the only one that can fix and he is still on this nightmare job 
We have final inspection tomorrow then we can scheduled 
Me:
I'll give you to next Friday then to fix. Fair?
+1 (786) 218-9941:
Fair thank you
Me:
Thank you!
Me:
Just confirming Jason will be here before Friday?
Me:
This is H_____ V____. So I guess Jason will not be coming to fix my tank?? Wa supposed to be done by tomorrow and I have not heard a thing. 
Me: My last text to them 

Last text you will get from me. So i assume that you will not be fixing my septic tank since no one showed up or calls after repeated calls and texts. The tank is under warranty and you have chosen to not honor the warranty. You have had two months to have this fixed. Starting today I will begin to file a complaint with the BBB and also post a negative review on Angie's list. Not to mention share my experience with others. I have recommended your firm to several people over the years. I thought your firm as different. Disappointing 
I called and message on office and cell phone but no response.
Buyer beware

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in South-miami-heights, 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.
