ADS SEPTIC TANK SVC

Description of Work: Called on phone. They were knowledgeable and forthright about what was involved in finding a buried septic tank without knowing exact location, digging by hand (heavy equipment would break a concrete septic tank) pumping it out and installing a "clean-out" in leiu of lid if necessary. Was quoted $180 for pumping out tank, $200 - $300 for digging to lid, and $175 to $200 to install clean out. In the end the lid was excavated by hand, tank was pumped out and no "clean out" installation was necessary. Mr. Schultz arrived when he said he would. He found the exact location of the tank through the use of a probe within a few minutes. He knew by age of home and history of tank types in area where lid was located. Fortunately, it was less than a foot down exactly where he thought it was. Within 15 minutes it was uncovered, the lid removed and he began pumping. We measured the distance to lid from house for future reference. It was necessary to backflush 4 times to loosen solid waste in order for it to be soft enough for complete removal. Many pumping services will only remove liquid. Mr. Schultz has 50 years of experience in this area. He began in 1962.
