They were on time and were fairly priced. They were very pro-active and did the work without notifying me. I wish they would have notified me beforehand so I could have been there. But otherwise it went ok.
Description of Work: They had to put in a line going from my house to the septic system (a new drainage line). They also had to put in an access area before you could get to the pipe. The man who came out to give an estimate was nice, courteous, and responsive.

I called in the evening, and they came the next day. Two very nice, efficient people did the work. They also gave me a competitive estimate for us to connect to the new sewers. We have used them for many years when our septic tank seemed ready to ''overflow''. They always come within 24 hours.
Description of Work: They pumped out my septic tank after lots of rain.

Jeff answered his phone on Memorial Day when I discovered my septic overflowing in the front yard. He was out the next morning to drain it and assess the situation. The work was completed within two weeks and I found the company to be very nice to work with. I would definitely recommend them.

JIM, AND HIS BROTHER RON, WERE GREAT! THEY WERE PROMPT, COURTEOUS AND WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH. WE MAY ACTUALLY END UP BEING ABLE TO DO THE WORK WE WANT, BUT WE'RE STILL WAITING TO SEE. IF WE CAN DO THE WORK, WE'LL CALL JIM KNOX.
Description of Work: JIM SPENT SEVERAL DAYS COMING OUT TO OUR HOUSE AND MET WITH THE HENDRICKS CO. HEALTH DEPT. IN ORDER TO TRY TO GET A NEW SEPTIC SYSTEM INSTALLED, $20,000.00. WE CALLED SEVERAL SEPTIC COMPANIES, BASED ON ANGIE'S LIST REFERRALS AND AT LEAST 2 OF THEM WOULDN'T EVEN COME TO HENDRICKS CO. B/C THE WOMAN IN CHARGE IN THE HEALTH DEPT. IS SO DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH.

THEY ARE ALWAYS IMMEDIATELY RESPONSIVE AND GUARANTEE THEIR WORK. THEY WILL COME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND ARE ALWAYS HONEST WITH THEIR ESTIMATES. I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD STUFF ABOUT THEM.
Description of Work: I HAD GARBAGE DISPOSAL STUFF AND FECAL MATTER COMING UP THROUGH A BASEMENT SHOWER AND TOILET. I THOUGHT THAT PERHAPS MY PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO A SEWER INSTALL THAT KNOX HAD HANDLED, BUT IT WAS NOT. THEY ROTORED THE PIPE AND GOT EVERYTHING RUNNING.

EVERYONE THAT CAME OUT WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL, COURTEOUS, KNOWLEDGEABLE, AND BECAUSE OF THE URGENCY OF THE PROBLEM, GOT US SCHEDULED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. THIS ALSO MEANT THAT KNOX WAS ABLE TO GET THE HEALTH DEPT OUT HERE WITHOUT MUCH NOTICE ON A COUPLE OCCASIONS TO GET THE NECESSARY APPROVALS. EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE A COUPLE OF OUTSTANDING ITEMS, I AM GRADING THEM VERY HIGHLY BECAUSE THEY GOT US SCHEDULED SO QUICKLY, WERE VERY HELPFUL AND TOOK THE TIME TO EXPLAIN WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND WHY. I TRUST THAT THEY WILL BE BACK AS SOON AS THE WEATHER PERMITS TO COMPLETE WHAT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED.
Description of Work: A COUPLE WEEKS BEFORE THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS, WE NEEDED A NEW SEPTIC FIELD BECAUSE OUR SYSTEM QUIT FUNCTIONING WITH VERY SHORT NOTICE. KNOX INSTALLED A NEW SYSTEM (APPROVED BY THE HEALTH DEPT)IN A VERY QUICK TURN AROUND TIME. KNOX ALSO HAD TO REROUTE OUR WATER SOFTENER AND FURNACE HUMIDIFIER SINCE BOTH WERE DRAINING INTO OUR SEPTIC TANK AND THE SOFTENER SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN. HOWEVER, THE END OF THE DRAIN PIPE FOR THE SOFTENER/HUMIDIFIER FREEZES IN THIS COLD WEATHER. WE ARE TOLD WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR BETTER WEATHER. I UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR BETTER WEATHER BUT IN THE MEANTIME, WE CAN'T USE THE HUMIDIFIER AND SOFTENER BECAUSE THE DRAIN KEEPS PLUGGING UP WITH ICE. THERE ARE ALSO 2 PIECES OF ADDITIONAL OUTSTANDING WORK THAT THEY VERBALLY AGREED TO COME BACK TO COMPLETE WHEN THE WEATHER GETS BETTER. I AM HAPPY WITH THE OVERALL SYSTEM BUT WITH THE $10,000+$1500 OF ELECTRICAL WORK WE HAD TO HAVE DONE SO THE SEPTIC SYSTEM FUNCTIONS, I WILL FEEL BETTER WHEN THE JOB IS COMPLETED.

WE WERE HAVING SEPTIC PROBLEMS AND I HAD SEVERAL OPINIONS AND ESTIMATES. KNOX GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE AND FOUND A MUCH CLOSER SEWER LINE TO HOOK US UP TO THAN ANYONE ELSE. HE GAVE US A GREAT PRICE COMPARED TO EVERYONE ELSE WHO WANTED TO RUN A PIPE ALMOST 3 BLOCKS AND WOULD HAVE COST OVER $10,000. GREAT JOB!

THEY QUOTED US $5000 WHEN THEY CAME OUT. THE OWNER CALLED ME ABOUT 8 DAYS LATER AND SAID IT WOULD $4100. THEN HE CALLED BACK ABOUT 4 DAYS AFTER THAT AND SAID THEY COULDN'T DO IT FOR $4100, BUT THE PRICE WOULD BE $5000. THE LAST TIME I SPOKE WITH HIM, HE SAID IT WASN'T HIM WHO CALLED AND TOLD ME $4100. I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED BY ALL THIS AND UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THIS SITUATION, SO I'M GOING WITH ANOTHER COMPANY.
