What changes in Jacksonville
Jacksonville's oldest tanks are the ones that fail, and a replacement inside Duval County starts with a question the homeowner did not ask: is there an active JEA sewer line close enough that the county will not permit a new system at all. Call Flamingo checks availability before quoting, because the answer changes the job from a new tank to a permitted abandonment and a connection.
Where a new tank is permitted, it is sized to the bedroom count, set with risers to grade, connected to the existing field where the field is sound, and inspected by the county before backfill. The well permit for the same lot comes from a different building, and both are handled.
How the job runs
How a tank is replaced
The failed tank is pumped and inspected so the replacement is quoted from what is seen. The permit is filed with the county environmental health office, with the new tank sized to the bedroom count. The drain field is inspected honestly before the new tank is connected to it. The new tank, precast concrete or polyethylene depending on access and groundwater, is set level with risers to grade and inlet and outlet connected. The old tank is pumped, crushed and filled, or removed. The county inspects before backfill and the record is closed. Financing through Hearth is available.
