Septic System Markup 100%


In my area we typically do a 125% markup on repairs
sometimes up to 200% can be squeezed my area is south west fla

does your area provide the same? I am currious how my fellow installers are doing? Ofcours we have to figgure cost of living differences per region

keep in mind we have 11 installers and 400 repairs a year. is your area providing the flow to grow?

If you keep posting the benefits of being a Turdman, you might find me moving to FL. 2 Questions, #1 where do you put the turds? If they can still be used for fetilizer, do you make money selling them or do you pay to get rid of them?

Not too many people around here do repairs. We have been called a few times to do them, but we don't do that type of work. We don't like to be bothered fixing someone elses work.

when I say repair I am refering to new drainfield replacing the old field or creatively repositioning it to avoid tear out of existing bed. Hence repair our industry jargon changes by region. It can be a pain we love it!

rhino you want that drip info?
