I emailed Brian's Septic via their email server and received no response, however, on my second followup email, they responded immediately and apologized that their server was down. I believe them, my website was attacked and down for 5 days in that same week. We subsequently made an appointment of between 9 and 10 am the following Thursday. Despite living in the woods on a lake and sometimes hard to find, D.J and Paul arrived 10 minutes earlier, at 8.50am. They had no problem locating the septic tank and were all done, dusted and out our driveway 30 minutes later. I admire and respect their professionalism. D.J's a star!

Toilets not flushing properly and shower slow to drain. Checked Angie's List for septic service recommendations. Brian's Septic Services had good reviews so we called them for service. Response was quick. No problems three months later. Would recommend this company and would use them again.

They had to bring a tractor to my back yard and he had to take the fence down and didn't put it back up. The guy doing the work didn't have very good communication, although the owner did. They also bust up part of the concrete in my driveway. They left parts in my yard. But overall, I was satisfied with them.

When I called, I spoke to the owner, Brian, who was friendly and helpful. He asked if it was an emergency and we determined that it was not. In two days, as discussed, a crew of two employees arrived on time with an immaculate pumping truck. They called prior to coming to confirm. Absolutely professional crew. Two completely well dressed guys in work outfits, very professional, respectful and cheerful came and located the septic tank and quickly dug in the ground and found the lid. They pumped the tank out with no fuss or mess. They located a separate tank and determined it did not need pumping and carefully covered the places they dug up. I asked if they would fill in a problem area and the younger guy obliged, happily. Gave good advice, have referred me back to the owner, Brian, for remediation of the leach field. Very pleased with their professionalism and friendliness. There was no nonsense. Just straight-forward good service. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! EXCELLENT SERVICE!!!

Our toilets were not flushing well and would bubble up whenever we used the washing machine. We thought we might need a new drain field and were dreading the expense. Our call to Brian's was returned immediately and the serviceman came out the next day. He was very knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. It turned out we had a clogged filter. He told us the drain field was in good shape, cleaned the filter, and pumped out the septic tank. He also gave us advice on how to keep the system working well. We were very satisfied with all aspects of doing business with them.

Brian's septic was awesome. Dealt with a difficult inspector and made it pass inspection based on the inspectors personal preferences and not the permit requirements. They were a great value for the cost. Will use for both our homes septic needs! Brian is great to work with.

Brian was awesome. He provided same day, quick response service. He was very professional, polite, and amazingly efficient. He did a great job of explaining what he was doing and made recommendations on things we could do to prevent problems going forward. He arrived when he said he would (within 2 hours of our initial call), and had the entire job competed within an hour.

This system was replacing a 100-yr-old system no longer functioning or located. Brian made several trips to the site, well north of town. to help determine a new location. It was a complicated decision because of the age and plumbing of the house. During several months of research and discovery with numerous septic and plumbing professionals, we chose Brian for several reasons: His constant availability by phone or on site; his knowledge and professionalism; his quick production of quotes as we considered our options; his price; and his patience as we worked through our concerns and options. We were not disappointed with our choice.

Brian gave us an estimate for a new drain field and a few other things. We ended up going with an entirely new system, as our existing tank was far away from the house, with a long sewer line. Brian and his crew did an excellent job. They were courteous, got the job done quickly, and left our yard clean, and in great shape. I thought the price was very reasonable for the amount of work that was involved. I would have expected a complete system (particularly a system with a pump) to be quite a bit more. I would definitely recommend Brian's Septic service, and will use them in the future.

I called and explained that I had had a major back-up problem the night before caused by a clogged pipe. I explained that it was recommended by the company that diagnosed and fixed the immediate problem to have my septic tank pumped (which I had known prior to the recommendation was a strong possibility). I asked that I please be given an appointment as soon as possible and they sent someone out within two hours. Jerrod was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. He performed the job quickly, was careful not to damage my yard, and answered all my questions. He also provided very useful information about preventing the type problems that caused my initial back-up issue. This company was recommended to me and lived up to the good recommendation. I will definitely use them again in the future if needed.

Brian and his crew were very professional, showed up when they said they would and did the whole job of taking out the existing drain field and installing the new one in one day. Everything went smoothly and it was hard to believe how much work they accomplished in such a short amount of time. Great job!

Brian and crew arrived early. He had explained all to expect. In our case, the driveway had to be removed, and of course, the sod, and quite a few plants in landscape. The crew did their best to save our landscaping. It was of course, our expense to replace sod, plants, and cement driveway. I would highly recommend Brian's Septic. We had several quotes but none were as professional as Brian. He took the time to figure out our best solution, and explained thoroughly what to expect.

Overall, we are truly appalled at the dishonestly displayed by this company. It has actually made me loose faith in people and made me doubt seriously what I can trust on Angie's list. This was a company with all good ratings. Given our experience I do not believe there were so many satisfied customers' before us.
Description of Work: We hired them just to empty our septic tank. We hadn't had it pumped out since we moved in and thought it was time. They charged us extra to bring in a tractor because they claimed the tank was under some bushes-it wasn't. They used the tractor to dig down to the tank and, in doing so, broke the lid. At first all they said was would need a new lid, a few minutes later it became a new tank and then, finally it became an entire new septic system which included digging out a new drain field (i.e., digging up 500 sq ft of our back yard). Between the permit charges, water testing charges, digging out the tank and pumping it they left us a bill for the first day of $925. Then came the estimate for the rest of the job at a whopping $4,700. We got a 2nd opinion and was told by that company that our system was absolutely fine and didn't need to be replaced. The 2nd company fixed the mess Brian's had made and even suggested that we may want to call the health department because Brian's had left the tank open and exposed in an unhealthy way. After we told Brian we were getting a second opinion, we never heard from them again. Even he must have know that their story that we needed an entirely new system was fantasy. I was truly shocked by their dishonesty. I hope they at least return the money for the permits, since we certainly won't be needing those.

It went great. These guys are pros.
Description of Work: Brian is excellent. He did exactly what was expected and more. In fact, several weeks after the new drainfield was installed I noticed that there was standing water and mud about halfway down one of the drain lines. I called and reported the problem and he came out the next morning with his small excavator and dug up the distribution "T" to ensure it was level. It was. Turns out, my next door neighbor's in-ground sprinkler system was spewing water, pre-dawn, on the area. He covered everything up. I gave him some money for his trouble even though he didn't ask for it. I also gave him some sausage and bacon (I own the Register Sausage Company). Today in engaged him to put in a new drainfield at my mom's house.

Responded very promptly. Called on day of appointment to let me know he was running 30 mins. late. Had trouble finding the inlet to the tank so spent a lot more time & did a lot more digging than usual. He was very nice, patient & professional, taking the time to explain what he was doing & provide suggestions for avoiding problems with the system. The cost included $150 (12 monthly applications worth) of enzyme, which I do not know if it is really needed or helpful.
