Description of Work: Pumped septic. This Employee started off saying It might be drain field and filter might need cleaning before he even looked at septic. I'm a repeat customer and was extremely satisfied in the past. He also would scream "mam" from next to the fence instead of coming to the garage door and calling me. I told him he didn't have to scream like that and he didn't do it again. My neighbor called to see why the man was screaming for me like that. Very under professional. The employee also did a poor job of filling the hole and replacing the grass, so I had to get out and finish his job.

Description of Work: My septic sump pump had died and after spending two very hot, smelly days in my pit I had it replaced. Two days later it was no longer pumping the level down although the pump was running. I suspected the check valve but didn't have a good way to test it out so I gave in and called Metro since I had used them before. The tech pulled the assembly out and immediately said that the wrong type of check valve had been installed. 30 minutes later it was replaced and running. The $98 was a lot less than I had expected to pay. I've used Metro before and have always been satisfied with their work.

The technician arrived promptly and went right to work. The job was completed in less time than I had imaginged it would take. Very friendly and proffessional.
Description of Work: The service person replaced the switch to my sump pump. I called at least 5 other companies and none of them offered me that option. I saved a bunch of money with this company. I didn't have to have the tank pumped because my existing pump did that for us.

With my home being close to 40 years old I recently had to replace my entire septic system due to my tank collapsing and drain field failure. The job was well represented by all of the Metro-Rooter staff I interacted with, from the identification of my septic problems through the quality installation by their service crew and final follow-up by their sales manager. Upon recognizing I had a problem I reached out to Metro-Rooter based on a referral from a common friend. Within an hour of taking my call they had a representative (Mr. Dan Coates) at my house evaluating the extent of our sewage problems. Unfortunately, due to the age and condition of my system I was faced with the reality of replacing my entire septic system. My concerns mounted, as I have neighbors that also recently faced a similar predicament and their experiences were not managed smoothly with the vendors they chose for their service. My neighbors encountered significant challenges with permitting, inspections, and even citations issued by St. Johns County. I was prepared for a lengthy and stressful struggle, compounded with the concerns that my system that was on the verge of failure. After presenting me with several options Mr. Coates recommended a course of action and initiated the permitting process with Saint Johns County. He managed ALL of the permitting - removing me from the stress of interacting with the county paperwork and inspectors. My satisfaction was not exclusive to the efforts of Mr. Coates. The crew that arrived on the scene to perform the evacuation of my current system worked extremely hard, respecting the very narrow boundary between my yard and my neighbor’s. Due to the proximity of my neighbor’s decorative landscaping it was not possible utilize heavy equipment to make the job easier. The Metro-Rooter crew (Hank, Trent, and Buddy) worked meticulously to perform much of the work by hand. They worked diligently for an entire day – well into the evening after sunset, to make sure our home sewage was functional. I was VERY impressed with their dedication to quality and my satisfaction. Our job extended several days as we were at the mercy of the county health inspection schedules. Each day Hank and Trent continued with their hard work and paid particular attention to detail. They proved to be extremely professional throughout the entire process and were a pleasure to work with. We did not encounter any issue with the county through certification or the multiple inspection processes. I was so pleased with the work I received that I also wrote a letter of satisfaction to Tom McLaughlin, the owner of Metro-Rooter.
Description of Work: Permitted and replaced my entire septic system, inclusive of: preparation/excavation of installation site, the 2 tanks (new poly tank for solids, dosing tank), new pump, new sewer line, and new trenched mound drain field. The job also included the abandonment of my original tanks and drain field.

The serviceman arrived just when he said he would, he was dressed nicely and had the job finished in no time as there was no mess and no fuss. I would recommend Metro Rooter as honest, reliable and extremely fair in his pricing compared to others.

Metro-Rooter was very prompt, professional, and courteous. They were very diligent about their job. They could have done a better job with cleaning up after they completed the job, but they still did great. I would definitely recommend their services to others.

Metro Rooter is just as good as anyone else. There on the same line of all the other plumbers, nothing special. I would probably go with someone cheaper next time.

I hired Metro-Rooter for one reason: They could get here the quickest. We had an emergency situation and needed someone fast. Not only was the service prompt and excellent, but they gave us a great price. They did not take advantage of us.
Description of Work: Metro-Rooter pumped out a sewer holding tank. We had to get the tank pumped, because it was filling with waste after a grinder pump quit working.
