This is a family owned and run business and they take their services seriously. From the first call I made to leaving our property, they were on top of the job. I would/will definitely us them again.
Description of Work: My mother and I are in the process of purchasing a new home. We hired them to come out and inspect our tank and drain it. They did just that and checked out drained lines. In addition, they explained how to make the life of our septic tank last longer. Following price comparison, I found their prices inline with everyone else.

Thank you for the kind review. It's always nice to be appreciated. Even more nice to catch people in the beginning stages of buying a previously owned home, so we can let you in on the NEED TO KNOW things BEFORE things are done that can cause your system and you grief. Thanks for allowing us to serve you, and I look forward to hearing from you when it's time for your "Maintenance" pumping:) Good Day & God Bless, Sondra

GGGGGREAT. They did everything and more than I hoped for!!!!!!!!!!!
Description of Work: Well I called several on Angie's List and no one could come out to my property. When I called Sonda at 7:30am she told me that they where booked but could work me in and be there in 45min. She comily told me what septic service they provide and the cost for services for a 1,000 gal. tank like mine. They did everything that she told me which turned out to be more and a lower cost than the companies I requested service from Very Very Nice Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a bit of a toilet/bathtub situation yesterday and by 6pm realized it was beyond our skill set to resolve. I called Sondra and even though their information said they were closed, she answered the phone AND spent 15 minutes with me educating me all about septic systems! The crew arrived this morning, on schedule, and not only solved our problem, they found a 5 gallon bucket left in our septic tank by the last company (I'm glad I didn't recall the other company's name until after I had already scheduled with Thompson's!) and, unbeknownst to us, they found a separate septic tank for our laundry, that hadn't been emptied in the 10 years we've owned our home - yikes! So, yes, we highly recommend Thompson's.

Wow, [Member name removed], what a wonderful review.....THANK YOU! We're glad you called us too:) When ready for your maintenance pumping, please remember, to let us know that you have extra large tank and a secondary tank, so that we come w/ plenty of room on truck, and plan our jobs and route accordingly. We had to come back to office and bleed off into another truck after your job, so that we could still take care of the rest of the days scheduled customers. One customer we got to a little late and went into to over time, but no worry we did NOT charge them O.T. Next time, we'll plan accordingly and it'll go even better. May you and yours have a very Merry CHRISTmas. Sincerely, Sondra

I called just before noon today (8-4-14) to schedule an appointment to have my septic tank pumped. She said they had a truck passing through going to another job today and would this afternoon be convenient or did I want to wait?!! Of course, I said come on over! They arrived at 1:45pm, introduced themselves and we briefly discussed the issues I've been having, while they uncovered the tanks. (I was quite surprised to discover that I have two tanks!) Upon opening them, we discovered the septic tank and the gray water tank were both full. I came inside the house and they got busy! They were done in about 45 minutes! It's 2:45pm as I'm typing this review, and they are long gone! WOW that was FAST! They covered up the dug out areas and left the yard looking hardly touched. I would recommend their service to others. Fast and friendly!

They pumped the septic tank. The information on the telephone was professional and informative. The only negative thing I could say was that the two men who came and performed the service did not communicate at all other than to get the check when finished. I just found it a bit strange not to knock on the door or introduce themselves before proceeding with the service. Other than that, all went well.

Thanks so much for taking time to let us know how we're doing. I checked w/ Clifford to see what happened to going up to the door. Which is why I checked w/ you to make sure he was remembering the right job. You were right...It is odd for a company not to come to door! I don't think it was being "picky'" to expect a simple greeting from a company upon arrival. Come to find out, Clifford sent the helper to let you know we were there. Obviously, that didn't quite happen & I appologize for that..And as much as I like to hear what we do "right," I'm grateful when people let me know when there's something we can do to improve our image and service. Remember, when it's time to do your next pumping,to remind me that you're a teacher, because we do give a discount to our teachers:) God Bless, Sondra

They were prompt and quickly found the location of the tank, drained it and cleaned up nicely. The only problem was a gardenia shrub where they needed to dig and asked if they could relocate it. They did a really lousy job with that, half the bush died, and a large hole was left where it formerly grew. Just a minor irritation.

Septic pump didn't work. AAA Thompson pumped out 2 septc tanks. Wanted to replace pump and put in some type of slectrical wire protection box foaround $1500. I asked if they would just replace the pump but they didn't want to do that. Had another company come out. This company removed clog from pump and it worked fine. Didn't need to replace pump or |"magic" box after all.

I called the company, after reviewing Angie's List, at approximately 8:00 at night. In the best case scenario I expected to get an answering machine but instead ended up talking to an actual employee. She was very helpful, scheduled my appointment, and they showed up on time. They explained some things I could do to improve performance of my septic tank as well as a recommended maintenance schedule. I would definitely use them again.

The young lady who politely took my call immediately notified the crew. They arrived soon afterward, and were obviously very experienced and qualified. My husband and I were reassured when we talked with them about the clogged septic tank. They were prompt, conscientious, and worked efficiently to clean the filter and pump the tank. They also told us one of the pipes was too long and should have been cut off by the plumbers who installed the unit. At no extra charge, they fixed this additional problem! We felt very relieved and confident that everything was OK.
Description of Work: I called the company because our septic tank was clogged and we were unable to use shower, sink, toilets, or washer. The young lady who took my call gave me much information about maintaining a septic system. She patiently described the services to be performed, giving me a price quote of $240.00. The father/son team cleaned the filter (which was clogged) and pumped the septic tank. They seemed to be very experienced, conscientious, and took their time doing a very thorough job. My husband and I were very pleased and confident of their ability. We will definitely use them again for septic maintenance, and will be glad to refer them to friends!

The woman, who answered the phone, was very helpful. She explained exactly what was going on with our system and what we could expect next. She recommended that we get service immediately, which made perfect sense. Someone was out that very afternoon to empty our two septic tanks and inspect them. They gave us a list of does and don'ts for the next week and then for the rest of the year. They recommend that we get regular septic care.

We have a system that was installed in the early 1990s and it was not draining properly since we moved in to the house in August of this past year. We had the tank pumped by a different company in October and the system was having trouble again already. We supposed the problem was the drain field, which it did turn out to be. The gal from their office picked up the phone right away and answered the questions I had very easily. At first I was seriously considering choosing them for the extensive repair that needed to be done. However, then she starts saying things like "while I have you on the phone..." and proceeded to keep me on the phone for over an hour telling me horror stories and success stories about septic tanks in this area and how the county is really bad about miscalculating what really needs to be put in a home for a drain field and that we should double or triple their recommendation just to be safe. She also proceeded to tell me that the tank needs to be pumped every year and maybe even more often or we risk having to replace the drain field again and all sorts of really scary effects of what will happen if we don't follow their protocol. She was really convincing, but she hadn't even seen our system or our layout or anything and was telling me what I should install! Being an engineer myself I wasn't phased by what she was "selling" me, but this was really over the top. Our system did not need to have a double or triple size drain field installed since it was having additional lines put in parallel to the existing field (that was still working, but not at full capacity since the tree roots had invaded the area it was originally installed). If properly maintained, septic tanks can go years (3-5) without needing pumping. It all depends on if you know what to and what not to flush down the toilets! If you do call this company make sure and think for yourself what you really need installed and don't automatically take a recommendation for a supersized system if you don't need it.
Description of Work: Called Thompson's Septic while interviewing septic companies to come and repair our septic system. Spoke to a gal at the office in length about their services and recommendations for our system.

Well,I guess this goes into the "no good deed goes unpunished file." I guess I should of set up the job like you said you were about to and not wasted an hour of time trying to help. I had been running this business and phones for almost ten years before finding out from the H. Dept how low we are in Florida on our "minimums" that are put on permits. Clifford nor I had heard about this problem. To be clear I was told by the HEAD person for S.R.C. H. Dept that, "Florida averages between 2-3x's lower than what would be required elsewhere in America...and that the amount on the permit is the 'minimum required' NOT what should be done." I was at the H.Dept. when I asked him why I got tons of calls (from others customers--knowing the company they used must've done something wrong) by people who had just redone drainlines a few years ago or whole subdivisions after 18mo+ most were having to add lines?! I asked why I'd be getting so many calls from people who clearly should not be having problems! The above was his answer to me. I've been trying to alert people ever since to try to HELP them stay out of expensive lessons. No one HAS to do anything more than what a permit requires! It's just smart to safequard oneself. We are happy to install the minimum IF the customer wants to...we just want to empower our customers to be able to make an educated decision at the time of their investment! The only time we recommend pumping every year is if: it's a rental, it has a lift pump, or someone already has a system trying to go into full failure. For maintenance industry says pump atleast every 3-5 yrs, we say optimally every 2-3yrs and if there's a problem brewing we hope to catch it before to much damage has taken place. I'm sorry you mistook my passion for TRYING to look out for my customers as some kind of 'hard sell' of utterly unneeded upgrades! I'm sure being an engineer you KNOW more than me. My Bachelors Degree is just in education and I have 25+ yrs in septic industry. I simply TRY to educate my customers. Sorry!

Called to have septic inspected thinking I had a major problem on my hands. From the first phone call they were very friendly and gave me all the information I would need if there was a major problem that needed fixed. They came the next day exactly when they said they would be there. When they worked they told me what they were doing and what they thought was the problem was. When they found the problem they told me how to prevent it from happening again. Luckily it was not a major fix.I will never call anybody but AAA Thompson's Septic Inc.

Things went well, I was treated with respect and both Thompson Sr. and Jr were very helpful. My only disappointment thus far is that they were supposed to get back to me w/in 24 hrs of the initial pump-out to provide a quote for the repairs required to my system and they didn't call back. While AAA Thompson's charges about $100 more for a pump out than 3 other places I called, and the two other companies I used previously, the extra money was well worth it because of the quality of service and the fact that they have so far saved me from having to replace my septic system.
Description of Work: I hired AAA Thompson's Septic to pump out a septic tank & do a tank inspection. (The tank inspection was $50 of the $370) I asked for the tank inspection because I feared I would have to replace the tank &/or have new drain lines dug as this would be the 3rd pump-out in less than 6 months. Thompson Sr. & Jr. arrived during the time window given early that morning and immediately set to work. They not only drained the tank but diagnosed the true problem, digging holes to troubleshoot why the tank wasn't draining properly, explaining what they were doing & why along the way. The fact that Thompson Sr. is state licensed was a huge help when I called the county health department (while they were still at my house pumping out the tank) to find records and determine the next step to fix my septic problems. Thompson Sr. got on the phone and explained what was going on -- saving me time and money -- so I didn't have to get a permit for work I didn't need. They were able to figure out that my drainage field was working properly but that nothing from the septic tank was reaching it because of problems between the drain field and the tank.
