The men were courteous and professional. Since our home was new to us, we weren't sure about where the tank was located. On a very hot summer day, they took the time to poke all over our yard until they found it. I could not be happier with their service and highly recommend them.
Description of Work: The servicemen located and cleaned out our septic tank in our newly purchased home. they also gave advice on maintenance and a schedule for future emptying.

I have used this company before. They are courteous and helpful. The last time I had them out, I had not had any service done on the grease trap for years, because I did not know it existed. They need not give me any grief about that. That time, I also had them rod out the connecting pipe to the house. This time I had the gentleman look at a couple pipes inside because I am having some difficulties that I thought might be caused by the indoor pipes. I was told that they look OK and do not likely need replacing. He recommended just a regular plumber to rod out indoor pipes. Other companies might have grabbed at the chance for an expensive repair.
Description of Work: I had my septic tank and grease trap pumped out and a couple pipes in the basement checked for possible problems.

We were very pleased with the service performed by the company. We were quite worried about what was happening with our system and worried we might need a new one put in ($$$!!). As it turned out, because of the flooding, it was just stressed more than it might have been otherwise and needed a good cleaning. They cleaned the tank, cleared the fields and waited for everything to drain away to make sure the problem was solved. They also explained a lot of how everything worked to us and did not take advantage of our naivete. They came quickly during (probably) a busy time. Thanks!!!
Description of Work: Assessed problem with our septic field and cleaned tank.
