I made an appointment. No one showed. I called the office and was told "we never make appointments, we give you a morning or afternoon timeframe." I explained I did in fact make an appointment and had another appointment I needed to be at and if someone could tell me an estimate time frame because I probably would need to reschedule. The person on the phone said they would call me back, but never did. I called back and was told again they would call me back with a timeframe. I never heard back until the service tech called me several hours later asking for directions. By this time I had already made appointment with another company and cancelled the service tech.
Description of Work: I needed my septic tank pumped/evaluated.

I called and explained that one of the tanks had already been pumped out by them, 7 months ago. But when the crew arrived, while his helper was still digging up the second tank, the driver started pumping out the first tank which did not have much in it. When I pointed out that we did not order them to pump that same tank again, he said, "well, then do you want me to pump it back?" I wanted to be reasonable about it, and said that it was ok if they could offer a discount. But they ended up charging me the full amount for pumping two tanks. They are scoundrels, including the boss of the company who understood perfectly what happened, but pretended to justify their gouging me, later on the phone.
Description of Work: Myers came to pump out one septic tank of a dual system.

Unfortunately, I let Myers talk me into doing the job cheaply by cutting some corners on the installation method. I should have known better, and I take responsibility for following their poor advice. Now, less than two years later, the drain field is failing and sewage backs up into our bathroom and seeps above ground in our back yard. After informing the company about this issue and asking for guidance about how to fix the problem (we even informed Myers that we were willing to pay more to have it done correctly this time), the company has ignored our multiple requests for assistance. We have given up and called a competing company for service.
Description of Work: Myers installed a new drain field for our home septic system in Gainesville, Florida, approximately two years ago.

Myer's was scheduled to pump our septic tank between 9am and noon. My husband took the day off to meet the technician and be present for the service. At noon they had not showed up and had not called to tell us they would be late. My husband called and the receptionist said there had been an emergency at another site and they were running late. She said she'd get a time estimate and call him back. An hour later, the technician was not at our home and the receptionist had not called back. My husband called back at 1pm to ask about the status of the job. He was placed on hold numerous times while the (apparently) lone receptionist answered other calls. When my husband asked why he hadn't received a return phone call and why there was still no truck at our home, the receptionist started crying. She stated and quot;when people cancel because it's taking too long, I'm the one that gets yelled at!and quot; This obviously happens frequently. She also stated they would be at our home in 30 minutes (by 1:30pm). Well, 1:30pm came and went. We called back to cancel the appointment when there was still no one at our house by 2pm, and we left a message for the supervisor to call us back back regarding the service. No one ever called us back regarding the botched appointment or to offer to reschedule. We have used this company once in the past with no problems, aside from the fact that they were late. There are some serious management issues as evidenced by our experience with them and we will not be using them again, nor would we recommend them to others. How hard is it to call a customer to let them know you're running more than an hour past quote time, and be understanding when the customer requests an updated time frame?! Or to return your customer's phone calls in the first place?

When the kitchen sink once again began failing to drain, we suspected that the kitchen septic tank needed to be pumped since it had been a couple of years since the last time it had been emptied. Myers Brothers came out right away and did the job quickly and efficiently. The technician snaked the pipes as far as he could, which improved the situation but didn't solve the problem entirely. He explained the next logical steps to be taken, and after he finished pumping the tank, he not only replaced the soil that had been removed to allow him access to the tank, he even hosed down the nearby walkway where the dirt had been deposited. We have always been pleased with the services provided by Myers Brothers.

17.It was done in a day once the permit was obtained. The 2 men were professional and efficient. There were lots of tree roots and sand over clay, and they accidently cut and repaired a water line. They put all the dirt back over the field when finished.
Description of Work: We live in a house built in 1989, and I assume the septic system is the same age. We had the tank pumped out 2 years ago, and all was well until an ugly brown puddle appeared in the yard Nov. 17. Myers came at once and pumped it again [$375], and determined the drainfield had collapsed. They applied for a permit [$500], which took 3and1/2 weeks. They installed a new drainfield to code with inspection on Dec.5[$2781].

Myers was scheduled to pump our septic. They were great with being available for service the same day that we called. When they showed up their truck was unable to make it to our septic, it was too big. They didn't even try to park away from the septic and extend the hose to the site. They told us that they could come the next morning with a smaller truck. When we called to make the appointment the lady who answered the phone said that they wouldn't have a smaller truck until the following Monday. They were also on the higher end of the quotes we got from other companies.

It was a quite a reasonable amount, but they did a great job. They did permit and everything and we did not have to do anything. We spent around $2000 on that service. They were really excellent.

I experienced flushing problem in both toilets at the same time.Icalled Myers to request a septic tank pump out to determine if that was the problem or if further work was required.They were able to fit me into their schedule and the service man arrived a few hours later.Upon removal of the septic tank lid he determined there was a clog at the end of the drain pipe going into the tank.The tank was also in need of pumping,although that wasn't the immediate cause of the problem.He removed the clog,pumped the tank and the problem was resolved in short order.The service man was professional,explaing the procedures as he went,friendly and courteous.The lawn and driveway were undisturbed,and with the exception of a small patch of replaced earth over the tank,there was no indication anything had been touched.

I was charged the quoted price, but less than half of the agreed upon work was completed. UPDATE: follow up report. Competitor DAMPIERS serviced the second tank on the property promptly, without any difficulty, and charged the agreed upon price.
Description of Work: I asked for a quote to service and provide FL. certification for two septic tanks on my property. I am a new owner, and told the representative Katerina that I did not know the locations of the tanks, and was assured that this would be fine, the service person could find them and provide the service without my knowing the locations. I was quoted $600 and agreed, for service and certification. The service person had a great deal of problem finding the first septic tank, left, came back , and pumped out one tank. That was the last I saw of him. The tank was quite deep in all fairness. I received, and paid the bill for $600. No place on the bill was it noted that no certifications were done, and that only one of the two tanks was even serviced.. Had I not been paying attention, or not been onsite, I would not have known that the other tank was not even attempted. Borders on a fraudulent billing, in my mind. I discussed my displeasure with Katerina, and sent a letter to the owner, but was not contacted in any way. I strongly recommend against using this company.

Response from Myers Brothers Inc
The work was performed for the customer, however a standard pump-out does not take 2 days, 8 hours of labor and multiple calls to the customer, which were never returned to us. We even went as far as getting a site plan from the ACHD to try and locate the tanks. Each tank was over 3ft deep in clay like soil, on a massive piece of land. We did try to contact the member about this at the time with many phone calls with no answer and no return call until we were left with no options but to send the bill. Only then did he contact us.

Old trailer, we had been patching up the septic system for about 5 years. Had Meyers come out to pump the tank before we could call Roto Rooter. Ron Meyers (the owner) came himself. Asked him for a quote to dig the entire septic field. Gave us the best price we'd ever been given for the project. We went ahead and had them do it. YIKES those guys were good. Dug up the old field yanked out the bad piping, laid the new, hooked it all back up. What was truly amazing is that they completely finished the job. Replaced all the surface soil and actually SMOOTHED it out. Hubby and I thought we'd have to do that ourselves. NICE JOB! Fast, on time, at the quoted price.
Description of Work: Had the septic tank pumped, old drain field dug up, new field bigger and reinstall the system
