"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!"

"I have used Camarillo Rooter in my business and at my own home. Lonnie Jr & his team have done everything from hydro blast a sewer line, sewer lateral inspections & replace a sewer line to cleaning clogged drains, replacing water heaters and fixing leaky toilets. Lonnie Jr is honest, quick to respond and explains the situation. He is not an alarmist and provides options so you can decide what is best for your budget and situation. I have referred him with confidence and will continue to do so."

"We had a mess with the old water main. The team came out and safed off the area, dug trenches, removed and replaced the line. All in a timely manner and charged the price that was quoted, not adding additional as many companies do."

"My house is very old so we have been having lots of drain/pipes issues.  With 5 grown kids in the house you can imagine what happens when a bathroom is down.  Thank goodness I found The Drain Guys through YELP! My drains knows no time/day it wants to back up and normally it never happens during business hours.  This company not only came out after hours but came out within the hour and relieved me of my problems fast, quick and it was worth the $99.00 charge.  Ed was very professional (some techs are mad when they have to work OT), friendly, put my mind to ease and even looked at another problem (faucet) without hesitation or charging me to just give me an estimate for the faucet.  I had him come back the next day to fix my faucet and gave FREE inspection underneath my house. First class service with AFFORDABLE prices.  When the office called me to let me know they were with Angie's List I jumped at the change to enroll JUST TO PUT OUT THIS REVIEW!  Great Job Drain Guys!  You have a customer for life. [Member name removed]"

"I have used Reiko plumbing many times in the past.  I was very satisfied with all aspects of their work. The labor charge was $75/hour. 
In the last month they offered to change my garbage disposal for $778.42.  There would not breakdown the cost of labor and replacement parts.  I went to Home Depot and brought a top of the line InSinkErator for $223.00.  I replaced the garbage disposal unit myself in 30 minutes.
I think it unprofessional to not divulge the cost of the replacement parts and their labor costs are unjustified.

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Ventura, 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.
