They are always fantastic. You have to schedule with them via phone (I prefer email access), but otherwise, they are the company that did our inspection when we bought the place, and we have them service/pump it every time we need to. The woman who does the scheduling is super friendly and helpful, you don't have to be home for the pump - they just leave the receipt and later send an invoiced bill. And you get a reminder postcard with your last-serviced date each year. We'll keep coming back to them until we move away! :)
Description of Work: This visit - pumped septic tank and insalled new filter cap

He showed up on time and was done in an hour. We hadn't had a well inspection done yet, when he noticed something odd about it. He didn't have to take the time to check it out but did and suggested that we get a well professional out to take a look at it. I am so glad we went with Talarico because of not only what they were hired to do but also noticing the well. I would definitely recommend them!
Description of Work: Came over for a septic inspection on a house being purchased.

They have gone far above the call of duty for me. They were the only person in town who would help me in a very dire situation. They also do excellent work and I highly recommend them. It's a business with heart.
Description of Work: Many things from septic system repairs to other needs.

Overall the quality of work was good. There was good explanation of why the work was needed, options to resolve septic issues, and answers to questions. There was a range of solutions from basic, yet good quality long lasting solutions to as the less expensive to newer septic technology that was more costly. Once the work started it was done promptly and in a good manner. Work was completed in schedule. My only observation was that in the initial period after contacting the company there wasn't the best responsiveness and communication from the company in getting back to us. There was a legitimate justification with this because of a serious illness in the owner's immediate family.
Description of Work: Our septic system failed after only having been installed 11 years ago when the house was built. We were not initial owners. Our galleries for the leeching fields were blocked. It seems the contractor skimped on septic sand when installing the original system. A house in the same sub-development built at the same time also had its septic system fail. We needed to have another set of concrete galleries put in next to the failed system. The original system will in time dry out and be usable. A switch was installed to allow us to switch between the two systems every 3-5 years.

Septic system on house we wanted to purchase failed inspection. Went ahead with the purchase and needed septic system up and running by 6/8/09. Talarico & Sons started the work the morning of 6/2/09. By the next afternoon, the work was finished and inspected and approved by the Health Department... and landscaped! Couldn't believe it!
Description of Work: Replaced septic tank, replaced distribution boxes, opened leaching trenches to clean pipes of dirt. Ran camera up lines to see if they had to be replaced.
