    I've got a cousin who has people that do it. I'm pretty sure they'd work there, they seem to be all over.

    If you do it yourself, which I too think you should, make sure you put a check valve on the effluent plumbing and also make sure the float has ample room to move up and down in the bucket or you will have issues with a stuck float.

    X2 on what HS said..

    We had ours put in when we moved in in 13 and had to have so called professionals fix it 3 times in first 6 months.
    Cantey puts in over 1000 a year, does great work and works all over the state.

    Dig a pit about 2’X2’X1’, form up a 18” square box and pour Sacrete under and around edges. Place pump in well, run hose or hard pipe to outside and plug in.

    For vapor barrier, get a roll of 6 mil 20’X100’ poly and unfold under house cutting around piers.

    Congrats on saving a lot of money.
