Fast and thorough. Darrell is so mindful of the landscaping in our yard.
Description of Work: Darrell's Pumping is fantastic. I hired him 3 years ago for the first time to pump our septic tank, and have had him out every year since then. Wouldn't go with anyone else.

I contacted another pumping service and they made the whole process sound very complicated and if we couldn't guarantee access to the septic tank then they wanted us to pay an additional locator fee. I explained what I could see in the yard but the worker on the phone didn't seem to even know more than I did so seemed like if I wanted to use their service I would first have to pay to have them come out and look at the septic system. I contacted Darrell's Pumping and explained the whole situation, what I had access to, etc. He had a few minutes available while waiting for his next scheduled appointment so he came by and looked at our system, indicated that he had access to everything he needed and gave a quote and explained what he would need to do and we scheduled an appointment for the next day. Darrell was prompt, did a complete job, and explained everything he was doing, from testing the water as it related to him being able to dispose of it later, how long it would take and that we should let the system dry out rather than refilling it with water and what we could add to the tank to make it function better, as well provided detailed information on how the septic system functions, including the leaching field, the approximate size and overall location of the septic tank and how it's divided into two sections, and what I could do myself to prevent the line from clogging in the future. He didn't try to sell me anything extra, although provided information about other services he provided, but also explained cheaper alternatives that I could perform myself. Would definitely recommend Darrell's Pumping for any of your septic needs and would hire him again in the future.
Description of Work: We moved into our home just over 4 years ago and not being familiar with septic systems I read up on them online when we were having problems with the main line backing up and realized that our septic system was way overdue for a pumping.

Darrell showed up right on time. He explained what he was going to do and he did it promptly. The job required some finesse and both Darrell and his assistant Raymond took great care. They were especially careful so as not to create any additional problems. The work was top quality and it was finished on time.

The work was completed as expected. Darrell was the only one who was willing to work with me and come out on short notice (this was considered an unscheduled emergency by myself, not a normal scheduled pumping).

Called Darrell's Pumping the morning of 3/24/2015 and scheduled an appointment for that afternoon. We were not having any issues, but are in the process of re-landscaping the front yard. We wanted to know the precise location of the tank and to have risers installed so that the tank would be easy to access for future pumping, and to know where we shouldn't plant certain types of plants and trees. We bought our house 2 1/2 years ago, septic system was supposedly certified, but the company that provided the service did not leave with our Realtor, or mail to us, a diagram of where our septic tank was. Called that company and they gave us a general idea. While we were trying to locate the tank ourselves we stumbled on the distribution box and discovered it was damaged. Darrell came out to our house and arrived when he said he would. We showed him the distribution box, as well as a copy of the certification from the company that certified our tank. Certification stated we had two seepage pits, which was incorrect. Darrell located the leach lines right away. After locating the actual septic tank, and removing the lids of both sides, Darrell pumped the tank. After that was completed he repaired the distribution box and installed the risers for the septic tank (both sides). Couldn't be happier with the service that was provided and the professionalism of Darrell.
Description of Work: Darrell came out, located septic tank, repaired distribution box, pumped septic system, and installed risers.

Supposed to get a septic certification. The workers spoke little English and told us we had to dig up the septic lines so they could inspect them. NOT how a septic certification works! Digging up the lines would have damaged them! I spoke to the business owner to figure out what his workers were trying to do. He told me he needed to speak to his crew to know what was going on. He was argumentative and failed (several times) to call me back. Problems could have been resolved had he respond out to my house to oversee the issues, and language barrier, that was created. His solution was to overcharge me for a completely new septic system, which I declined. I went with another company, who was able to complete some minor repairs, and complete the septic certification.

Darrel did a great job at a fair price. He even identified a corroding natural gas line that would have been a serious problem in the future and saved me a lot of headache. He did the job professionally, quickly and on time as promised. Highly recommended.

I called Darrell up to get a price for the job, then I called around a bit more and called Darrell back to schedule an appointment. We were in a time crunch for a remodel project and he came out the next day and got it all taken care of. He and my husband chatted like old friends, he gave us lots of tips and advise since we are new to septic. We like him so much that we'll be scheduling our septic tank pumps with him.

I am a happy camper. I figured that the fix could be in the thousands of dollars. Darrell found my problem in less that two hours and the fix was in place and working before the day was out. Total costs less than $200. Very good people.

He definitely was very professional and very helpful. We called him and he came the same day. I can't ask for better than that. To get that fast of a service was just incredible. Then he gave us a magnet to put on the refrigerator. He told us when we should get it done again. He was just very informative. I didn't know that you're not supposed to put lice down your toilet or anything like that. There's a baby here and so he said don't ever put those down. He was just very helpful. He was able to get them all.

I needed septic tank risers installed before some landscaping work. Even on the phone when I was talking to Darrell he was very helpful and informative. We saved some costs by digging the septic ourselves, and when that was done we were able to schedule Darrell to come in and install the risers the next day. He started his work when he said he would and they finished quickly. He even showed me the cost of the materials. When they were finished, he gave me an update about what is going on with my septic tank about some corrosion and some advice on how to maintain it. Darrell and his brother are very nice and the service was excellent. I will use them from now on and will recommend them to anyone.

About a week ago, my wife came into the house and said I should come out and look at something. She said that we might have a problem. I followed her to the edge of the yard and there we saw waste water rising to the surface and up doling in the lawn. It was obviously from the septic system. This was especially troubling since I had paid a guy to redo the lach lines three or four years ago and they were not working. my. Son in law and I cleared the access lids to the septic tank and called Darrell who had bee found on Angie's list to pump the tank. He came the next morning as promised and quickly emptied the system. We dug out the outflow side of the tank with my little back how and found that it was not sealed in any way and the pipe to the leach field was only 3 inches wide and not approved for sewers. I knew then we had a real problem and decided to call Darrell for advice and a bid. He quickly responded and gave us afaik price to correct all the problems.
Description of Work: I had a failed leach field which had been built a few years ago that was wrong from the start. Darrell suggested a fix and was always looking for the least expensive and most effective solution. His crew dug the leach lines and installed the system in one day. They also installed access risers and sealed the out put side of my septic tank and installed a new outflow baffle which had been missing for years. I was amazed at their skill and professionalism.
