Description of Work: Talked to Mike and he explained what would happen with cleaning out the tanks and then I'd have to fill them with water to avoid them collapsing. They scheduled the cleaning almost immediately within 2 days. The driver arrived at the end of the time promised, but mostly on-time. The driver was very helpful and got the job done in about an hour and a half. So far, no issues and I'm happy with the job. |

It went really well, and considering how much extra time and effort went into getting our tank cleaned out, I was happy with the patience, professionalism, and efficiency with which they took care of everything within our budget.
Description of Work: Septic tank had not been serviced for many years (we had just bought the house), so they spent a few hours breaking down everything inside and then pumped it clean.

We called Aaron's as they were highly rated by Angie's list, and we had absolutely no experience with dealing with septic tanks and felt we needed good service immediately (backed up sewer) to cope with what might be dicey situations, so we didn't want to shop around. The location of our tanks was all that we knew about them, and we had no idea what shape they were in or how deep they were. We got quick response from Aaron's and met the sewage pump truck at the bottom of the long, twisty gravel driveway. The truck was huge, and I feared that the driver wouldn't want to brave the challenging drive, but he was confident he could make it, and had no difficulties reaching the tank site. The first tank turned out to be under about a foot of dirt, but that was just to the first lid. There was a 4'x4' wooden box on top of the cement tank, but over time, the box planks had rotted and the sides had allowed dirt to pretty much fill the box in. The operator was undaunted and got his shovel out and removed the dirt. Although he wasn't thrilled to find his schedule gummed up by a big shoveling job, he was a cheerful sort and joked and laughed with us until he got down to the tank lid. By that time the second truck had arrived and I went to deal with that. The situation was similar in that the tank was subterranean, and required moving away large pavers, river rock, and planters, but again, the operator took it in stride and overcame all obstacles without complaint. They cleaned up reasonable well after finishing. The whole episode took about 2 hours and we were nervous about what shape the tanks might be in, but the operators never flinched and just worked through the problems without complaint. So we felt our money was well spent and that we had hired the right company.
Description of Work: We have 2 rental properties out in the hills with 2 septic systems. Both were very old when we got them and had gone unserviced for at least 20 years. One of our renters suffered a sewage backup...they had snaked the sewer line to no effect, so we decided it was time to pump out both the tanks. Aaron's answering service took our call immediately and then had the man in the field call us back and give us a scheduled time within 2 hours. They sent 2 trucks for the 2 tanks ...they showed up on time, worked diligently to uncover the tanks, cleaned the tanks out, and took payment with a check...I didn't ask them to take a card and I don't know if they do take cards. The whole operation was painless (for us) and took about 2 hours.

Late evening noises turned into a flooded toilet and shower area - yuck. Called first thing in the morning and very quickly got a call back from and quot;Mikeand quot; who apparently runs the service. He was helpful and knowledgable. In spite of his proclamation of a and quot;very busy dayand quot; he committed to have someone on site on a 2 hour window. The service person showed up in the first hour of the 2 hour window, got started immediately and did an excellent job of pumping out and and quot;cleaningand quot; the tank. They were professional, easy to deal with, prompt and did a great job. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: They came and pumped out our septic tank - it had been in service almost 20 years!

Called in the morning after a horrowing bubbling in the toilet experience - truck came that very afternoon and pumped the tank after hard digging to uncover the chamber lids, located the field valves, unstuck them and cleaned up afterwards - prompt, very helpfull and very reasonable price. On top of this the guy was really friendly and helpfull with advice.
Description of Work: Located septic tank covers, dug them out so they could be opened, pumped the tanks empty, helped to unstick corroded scissor valves controlling actived drain fields, cleaned up replaced everything

Fine.
Description of Work: I called late in the afternoon and got a return call within 5 minutes. An appointment was set up for 8AM the next day. Then I was called about 10 minutes before the appointed time by the company to tell me he was running late and would not arrive until 20 minutes after 8 AM! He came when he said he would and found and pumped out my septic tank in about 1 hour. He cleaned up all mess and left me rather satisfied.

The tech arrived fifteen minutes before the scheduled appointment at exactly the location that I requested when setting up the visit; then he brought his truck to the kitchen location (the truck and hoses were clean and odorless), quickly went about his task, left the area at least as clean as he found it, gave us an invoice that was $25 less than the phone quote (when he saw how small our grease trap is), answered a couple of general questions about setting up and the frequency of ongoing service, and left.
Description of Work: Opened and cleaned out our grease trap.

Found them in Angie's. Promptly returned my call on Friday and was able to scheduled an appointment on Monday. Came at appointed window of time 8am-10am. Septic Tank located where you have to crawl yourself in about 1 feet from opening under house. Worker immediately saw it and said he couldn't do. Told him it's been done before. Then he got his gloves and went in and said no problem. (He said he didn't want to dirty his clothes.) Other than that, took about 10-15 mins. to do septic pump out. If you pay cash you get 10% off.
Description of Work: Basic Septic Tank Clean. Been 4 years since last one. Time to do.

Description of Work: Our septic tank was pumped out in about 15 mins. He routed the hose to the back of our house where the entry point is. The hose is heavy and he avoided knocking over our plants in the front yard.
