Heflin Plumbing

Both of my old fiberglass septic tanks failed. Searched for a contractor in Hardee County Florida to replace the tanks. Found none. Extended my search out-of-county and found Mike Heflin in Fort Meade, Florida. Called him and he came to my ranch as scheduled to give me an estimate. He suggested I replace both fiberglass tanks with one large concrete tank. His price was $2975 plus another $450 that would be required by another contractor to pump out the old tanks. These prices were similar to those of others that I contacted. After I verfied that he did not hire illegal aliens, I accepted the costs and scheduled the work to be done. Before beginning the job, Mike arranged to have the county environmental engineer visit my ranch and take a core sample to verify the high water table level met EPA and county requirements for installation of an in-ground septic system. After passing that test, Mike showed up on time with a full crew. Before the new system was buried, Mike had the environmental engineer return to inspect and approve the installation, which he did and provided me with documentation of his inspection results.. I also inspected the system prior to it being covered and approved it. They began work around 8 AM and completed the entire job by 5 PM that day. Of course all the grass in my back yard was torn up in the process but that was expected. Restoration of the lawn was my responsibility and not Heflin's. It has been over 4 years since the new system was installed and I have had no problems with it.
