"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."

"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

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

The depth of your septic tank has nothing to do with its size. In fact, some septic tanks can even be installed above-ground! Like other sizes, a 1,000-gallon septic tank could be buried as shallow as 4 inches below the ground or as deep as 4 feet. It all depends on your specific property.

A septic system's lifespan typically ranges from 15 to 40 years, with a common average of 20 to 30 years. The longevity heavily depends on the tank's material, maintenance diligence, and usage habits. With proper care, lifespans can reach the upper end of this range.

Lifespan by Tank Material:

  • Concrete: 20 to 40 years

  • Plastic or Fiberglass: 30 to 40 years

  • Steel: 15 to 20 years

To maximize your system's lifespan, follow these maintenance best practices:

  • Regular Pumping and Inspections: Have the tank pumped every three to five years and schedule professional inspections regularly.

  • Mindful Usage: Only flush human waste and toilet paper. Avoid putting items like cat litter, paper towels, cigarette butts, fats, grease, oils, or coffee grounds down your drains.

  • Avoid Chemicals: Do not pour harsh chemicals into the system.

  • Water Conservation: Reduce the amount of wastewater your system has to process.

  • Protect the Drain Field: Avoid driving or building heavy structures over the drain field area.

You can add three rotten tomatoes or 1/4 ounce of yeast to your septic tank to speed up the decomposition of sludge. You can add the tomatoes by way of your garbage disposal and the yeast by way of your toilet. You can do either of these additives once every three months as needed.

Talking with a septic pro before planting trees near your tank is best to ensure the roots won’t interfere with your septic system. However, there is an easy way to figure out where to plant a tree—but you’ll need to know how tall it can get when it’s fully grown. For instance, if the tree can reach 50 feet, plant it at least 50 feet from your septic system.

Septic tanks aren’t bad for the environment as long as they receive proper maintenance and attention. This means staying up-to-date with professional septic system inspections and septic tank pumping. Without regular maintenance, parts of the septic system could break or stop working, potentially letting harmful waste into the soil and groundwater.
