"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

Needing to pump the tank as soon as it “looks” full is a common myth about septic systems, as wastewater will eventually drain into the leach field. Instead, it’s better to determine how many solids have accumulated. A septic maintenance technician near you can test this to find out whether pumping is necessary.

If you notice that your well pump runs continuously, it’s important to take action quickly to avoid further damage. A few common issues may be to blame for a continuously running well pump, such as mechanical damage, a faulty pressure control switch, low water level, prime loss, and leaking pipes and fixtures.

A septic tank riser should extend to just above the ground level or slightly above it. The exact height can vary depending on local regulations and personal preferences, but a common guideline is to have the riser's top flush with or no more than a few inches above the surrounding ground. This height allows for easy access to the septic tank without creating a tripping hazard or obstructing mowing and landscaping activities. It's essential to ensure that the riser lid is easily visible and accessible for regular maintenance and inspection while being mindful of safety and aesthetics.

A septic tank always has some amount of liquid in it—which should usually be 8 to 12 inches from the top of the tank. If the liquid level is higher than that or is overflowing the drainage pipe that leads out to the leach field, the tank may be too full and in need of pumping.

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.
