"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."

"Danny installed a new septic tank and drain field a few years ago and also emptied it every two years. I was always happy with his service. Now that I moved to another home, I needed another new tank and drain field since the old one was original and not functional. Danny gave me a fair price and performed the work in a timely manner, He is very professional, friendly and does an amazing job. I would recommend him to everyone."

"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

"Very happy with the service. Extremely knowledgeable crew, explained what they were doing in detail. It's been a few months and couldn't be happier. They removed our tank water heater and replaced it with a tankless outside. No other vendor told me they could put the water heater outside. A HUGE space saver."

"Michael and his father Jose were super professional from beginning to end with our septic tank replacement project. On the same day that I placed the request on Angie’s list, Michael called me and scheduled a visit. On the day of the visit he called me to confirm that he was on the way. Once we decided to hire them he went through all the next steps again with me and what dates to expect everything to be done. During the whole process he kept amazing communication. There were no surprises and all deadlines were done as he promised. We got the work done in 4 days, once they got the permits. Our backyard looks better now than it did before. We definitely recommend them. An excellent family business and very professional! If you are looking for a company to have your septic tank replaced, look no further! They even help you by accepting payment through Angie’s list. Highly recommend it! Thank you Michael and Jose for the amazing work done!!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

The best times of year to pump or empty a septic tank are spring and fall. Many professionals recommend spring because the ground has thawed, making the tank easier to access, and any snowmelt or rainfall can aid in proper drainage. Pumping before summer is also ideal to avoid conflicts with vacations or outdoor gatherings.

Fall is another great option, as contractors may be less busy than in the spring. Servicing the tank in late fall or early spring can also reduce the risk of overflow from extra precipitation during winter and spring.

While summer is a possibility, winter is generally not recommended. The ground is often frozen, which can make it difficult to access the tank, and the waste inside may also be frozen.

Rainwater doesn't have a direct impact on the amount of water in your well. Instead, the majority of rain runs off into other bodies of water such as streams, rivers, and lakes. These bodies of water may sometimes function as the area’s reservoir and create aquifers, which then help to replenish your well.

A properly installed and maintained septic drain field (also known as a leach field) can last up to 50 years, though the average is around 20 years. However, factors like poor soil conditions, heavy usage, or improper maintenance can significantly shorten its lifespan to 15-20 years.

To extend the life of your drain field:

  • Schedule Regular Inspections: Have the entire septic system, including the drain field, inspected every two to five years to catch problems early.

  • Protect the Area: Avoid driving heavy vehicles or placing heavy structures over the drain field. Plant only grass or other lightweight vegetation with shallow roots over the area.

  • Maintain the Septic Tank: Proper care of the septic tank, including regular pumping and avoiding harmful chemicals, prevents strain on the drain field.

Be aware of signs of failure, such as strange odors, standing water, or unusually lush grass over the field, which indicate your system may need professional attention.

Most septic tanks can handle two to three loads of laundry per day, or a weekly total of between seven and 10 loads. Although septic systems do require homeowners to be somewhat careful with their plumbing systems—for instance, it’s not a good idea to flush a bunch of toilet paper all at once—they can still handle fairly heavy use.

You may want to increase the size of your leach field, for instance, if you add on to your home or install more bathrooms in your house. You can make your leach field larger by installing more pipes or expanding the area of the field itself. Improving the soil quality in the drain field can also make it more effective without increasing the area.
