When my husband got out of military, he did online schooling and worked at a factory. He said he hated the people there and ran into a guy that does windows and glass. Said it was great. After he finished school, which I had made him save all his money from being an installer and I paid for everything until he finished, like he did for me when I was in pharmacy school.

Odd measures they would do. My husband said he learned to makes common glass from the factory work with customers showers. As they used trim and various hardware that made for hidden adjustments.

Solid tip on septic inspection pre-closing. Thought our septic inspector was expensive at $550, turns out the system was completely broken and had to be replaced. $21,000 later (paid by the seller) we dodged a bullet and that was the best $550 ever spent.

I’ve watched a few of these videos on septic tank pumping. In our area, it’s about $225 to get your tank drained. He’s been in business 20 years and has a good reputation.
@@franko8572 We are in Missouri. Not sure of the size, but it’s two of us and he said we could 10 years before pumping again. It was a family of five prior to us living here.
@@butterman4610 Daaang, nice. 💪 I live 1.5 hours north of New York City. It’s nearly twice that price here. Family of 4 and we gotta do it about every 3-4 years.
Been doing pumping for a 1 week now and yeah it’s nasty but it’s sooo knowledgeable. I’ve driven tractor trailers for 6 years and some Front load, roll off for 2 years. Being a septic pumper it pays well and he’s right it doesn’t smell that bad I have smelled worse doing sanitation
Very good episode, Been watching Dominic for almost 2 years since I started my own porta potty pumping business here in California, started as a part time after work , glad to see him on here dude looks proud to talk about the business he’s in and very knowledgeable good job brotha
In 2013 we had to install an aerobic system that is 3 tanks, 750/1500 and 1500. 750 is the first tank, 1500 aerobic and then another 1500-gallon pump tank that also has two UV lights installed and about 500 feet of drain field. It is massive. The house is a 1977 7-bedroom 5-bathroom home. two kitchens two laundry rooms. We spent in total nearly 50K to install it and we have 14 people living in the home. We have it pumped out every 6 months at currently that costs about $700. We are trying to protect the investment, and we also have to have it inspected yearly at about $200. So far so good.
I heard they have a ATS that does not require annual inspection now. they are more expensive but no inspection needed. My house in CA was quoted 25k for a ATS......and that was cheap here.
I’ve worked worked for a portable company for a year now out revenue is about 115,000 grand or so in a 10 month period with 14 people on payroll the septic side is like $475 for a servicing and $150 to inspect it and they generate a lot of money from it and like they said it fills up in a few days after pumping and people get it pumped every 3 years or so . If you’re rotating old and new customers you’ll last 30 years and going like the company I work for now. Thought of getting into the trade for myself soon Edit: I said revenue i meant PROFIT ; if our Rev was 100k i wouldnt have a job; that is a varying TOTAL profit not what the company will actually make in a year GROSS wise...
@@jessehamilton4223 nah im just not giving you the total numbers and there are varying rates depending on contracts. that was our revenue 10 months post losing 80k in contracts due to job site completions. if you factor in porta john rentals it also increases the revenue. i make 40k a year so youd imagine that the number i originally said is PROFIT after payroll lmao not a full company split brother
If you have a pump unit that separates the solids from the liquids, you can make even more money putting the liquids back into the septic tank and dumping only solids at the waste site. And it's beneficial for the home owner to have a tank full of biologically active waste water again.
I got really lucky when i bought my house the first thing the home inspector did was pull the drawing from the country and called the local septic guy out and he found the septic system and drainfield where both failing. Fortunately the seller paid for the new system. Labor costs and all after removing the old tank and drain field it was $35,000.
I’m in Texas. A pipe welder looking for a new trade to get me above water! I’m going to look into it. Grateful for this interview!! San Saba is 2h 17min from me
Great tips here. We had the seller bring someone out for septic maintenance and inspection. I did not want to buy the house until that was done because I never dealt with a septic system before. The company provided the paperwork and found the system in good shape. We hired a septic company to inspect our system quarterly which is well worth the cost.
If your buying a home get the septic system checked... dont stop there make sure you get all those sewer pipes under slab checked you wont be sorry on either. If your selling your house you better 🙏🏻 they didnt see this video 😂

I've been paying around $150~200.00 and still that's kinda absurd pricing for just pumping a septic. Thankfully it's only once every 5 years or so because it's a gravity one.
A conventional septic is the only way to go. Built a 3200 square foot house with 5 bedrooms. Installed a 500 gallon tank in 1984. Still working till this day and never been pumped.
I the locksmith industry when you call to have your car unlocked: "Maam, I know I quoted you $75 over the phone but you have electronic locks. These are very difficult, so that's why we must charge you $450" Or "Maam, I know I quoted you $75 over the phone but you have manual locks. These are very difficult, so that's why we must charge you $450"
In my area its difficult to find people to work on or inspect septic tanks. Honestly its a joke. The problem is you have to get permits to do any work and to do any work you have to be licensed.

I the locksmith industry when you call to have your car unlocked:
"Maam, I know I quoted you $75 over the phone but you have electronic locks. These are very difficult, so that's why we must charge you $450"
Or
"Maam, I know I quoted you $75 over the phone but you have manual locks. These are very difficult, so that's why we must charge you $450"
So why quote $75 when its going to at least $450 either way?

Hey I'm actually interested. May not be as strong but my will and work ethic is there
In my area its difficult to find people to work on or inspect septic tanks. Honestly its a joke. The problem is you have to get permits to do any work and to do any work you have to be licensed.
