Question 2

Do I need a permit for septic system installation in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all septic system installations in Florida require permits from your Lighthouse Point county health department. The process includes soil evaluations, system design approval, and final inspections. Our team at Davis Construction Group handles all permitting to ensure compliance with Florida DEP regulations.

Question 3

How often should a septic tank be pumped in Florida?

Accepted Answer

In Florida, septic tanks should be pumped every 3-5 years for households of 4 people or fewer, more frequently for larger families. Regular pumping prevents solids buildup and system failure. We recommend scheduling professional inspections annually to monitor your system's health.

Question 4

What are the signs of a failing septic system?

Accepted Answer

Common signs include slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewage odors around the yard, wet spots over the drain field, and backups in the home. In Florida's wet climate, these issues can worsen quickly due to high water tables. Contact Davis Construction Group for prompt diagnosis and repair to avoid costly replacements.

Question 5

Can homeowners install their own septic system in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Homeowners can perform minor maintenance but must hire licensed contractors for installations and major repairs in Florida. Only registered septic contractors can obtain permits and ensure code compliance. Davis Construction Group uses certified technicians to deliver reliable, warrantied installations.

Question 6

How long does it take to install a septic system?

Accepted Answer

Septic system installation typically takes 3-7 days once permits are approved, including excavation, tank placement, and drain field construction. Permitting can take 4-8 weeks in Lighthouse Point. We streamline the process with pre-approved designs and experienced crews.

Question 7

What is the difference between conventional and alternative septic systems?

Accepted Answer

Conventional systems use gravity and soil absorption, suitable for most sites. Alternative systems like aerobic treatment or mound systems are required for poor soil or high water tables common in Florida. Davis Construction Group specializes in both to match your property's needs.
