"If you are on a schedule or want to get a direct answer when calling about status updates for your project, then find somebody else. Ballard does not provide information that is clear and precise and cannot set a schedule and keep it. The project has not been performed and is currently 30 days behind schedule. If Ballard should choose to complete the project without any more delays or issues, then we might consider retracting this review."

"I highly recommend Brazos Home Services. They do excellent work for reasonable prices. They recently completed the plumbing for our in-ground pool. Mark Saavedra took the initiative to discuss the requirements with the pool manufacturer to make sure the layout of the pool equipment was correctly done and the work would meet warranty requirements."

"J&D was hired to remove molded wall materials and wet flooring following the storm. The owner, Mr. Don Wilkerson ask for half the estimate up front to start. I made the mistake of paying him in full. One very inexperienced hand stayed all day while the owner worked for a few minutes to get things started and then Mr. Wilkerson went away to look at other work locations. Mr. Wilkerson agreed to return to finish and bring a trailer to haul off all the wet, molded material he removed and piled on my deck. Neither of these happen. I called the owner and emailed his office for several days trying to schedule the work to be completed, while the mold was getting worse in my home. After five no shows of agreed to dates and times I had to hire someone else because the mold was now taking over my walls. Then when I ask for part of my money back and told him I was hiring another contractor, Mr. Wilkerson starting saying he had 90 days to return to complete the work and if I hired someone else I was in breach of a contract. There was nothing in writing to support this statement and he kept all my money. It should be stated J&D's Owner or his employee followed no safety procedures for working around and handling mold. Mr. Don Wilkerson cannot be trusted, stay away from him and his business!!!"

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Tomball, TX

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.
