Septic Systems
A complete septic system installation includes the tank, the distribution box and the drainfield that treats and disperses wastewater. Pro Plumbers FL installs septic systems across Tampa Bay — permitted, inspected, and built to serve a household for decades. A full install typically spans several days across excavation, setting the tank and building the drainfield, plus county inspection.

A Full System, Not Just a Tank
A septic system is three parts working together: the tank, the distribution box, and the drainfield. We install all three as one system sized to your household and your soil, not just drop in a tank and hope.

- Distribution box installation
- Drainfield installation
- System repair and drainfield rehabilitation

Common Questions
How do I know if my septic tank needs pumping or a whole new system?
Slow drains and odors often mean pumping is due. Standing water over the drainfield usually means the drainfield itself is failing — different problem, different fix.
How long does a septic installation take?
A typical residential install takes 3–5 days including inspection, weather permitting.
Do you repair drainfields, or only install new ones?
Both — sometimes a struggling drainfield can be rehabilitated instead of fully replaced.
What shortens a drainfield’s life the most?
Excess water load and heavy vehicles driving over it. See our drainfield article in the Learning Center for the full list.
