I explained the situation, what the other septic service did and didn't do. Jerry got right to work and had everything done and covers (fake boulders) back on in less than 40 minutes. Very nice guy to talk with. Friendly yet professional. Gave me tips on maintaining the septic mound. I will absolutely use him again and recommend him to others.
Description of Work: I needed 2 of my septic tanks pumped. A competitor of Dans left me in a lurch. I talked to owner Jerry on Wednesday and he was at my house the next afternoon as promised.

Came out on time. Cover was open and was doing work before I was able to get outside, so everything went super fast and easy. Very pleasant and easy to deal with. Answered all my questions very professionally. Left no mess after completing task. We would definitely recommend to any of our friends and will.
Description of Work: Septic tank pumpout. Will also be sending in certificate to the state.

Description of Work: Good price, quick service. Only thing was that I gave all the information to the person taking my appointment call (i.e. size of tank, location of tank, etc.) and when the guy got there I had to go through it all again and help him find the tank. After that, though, everything was good. Very competitive price wise |

The City of Ham Lake requires homeowners to have septic systems inspected and tanks pumped if the inspection indicates every 2 -3 years. very We have lived in our home for almost 22 years. As far back as I can remember, we have called Dan's Sewer Service to inspect and clean out our septic systems. I cannot remember any incidents where I was unsatisfied or unhappy with their service. Appointments were and are convenient; they are punctual, efficient, and pleasant and personable to work with; they are respectful of property, and prices are reasonable. When they are finished, we get a report on what the inspection showed, how full the tanks were and if there are any issues to be concerned with. Dan's ensures that Ham Lake is notified of the inspection and pumping. One particular time, their records showed that we had let it go longer than we should have. Inspection showed no serious issues although it took longer than usual. They were honest about the inspection and they did not take advantage of the situation to make more money. I do not hesitate in recommending Dan's Sewer Service for this unpleasant but necessary maintenance service. The only suggestion I might make to Dan's is to that they might consider sending a reminder card to homeowners who have used their service in prior years.
Description of Work: inspected and pumped private sewer system as required by the City of Ham Lake.

Fantastic. Arrived early and was able to very quickly setup the process and did an extremely thorough job. Answered all questions regarding maintenance of septic system. Diagnosed and fixed problem of dirt in system for no additional charge. Even gave us a spare cap for the lost one on the ventilation setup. Whole process took less than an hour.
Description of Work: Provided regularly scheduled septic system maintenance per city/county ordinance. Also provided written required documentation and submitted to city.

They are, hands down, the BEST septic service provider. Period. One phone call and they were here the next day. Jerry, who runs the business, asked me to plug all the drains in the house, either with stoppers or wet rags (to prevent any odors from leeching into the home). While he was working with the septic tank, he offered a variety of tips and opinions on septic systems and water usage. After he left, I did notice a small odor in the home, which was quickly dissipated by opening some windows. Prior to meeting Dan's Sewer Service, I was unaware of our tank's capacity: either 1,200 or 1,500 gallons. Normally, this would have left me vulnerable to shady services looking to make a quick buck by charging me the 1,500-gallon price when I actually had a 1,200-gallon tank. Not Jerry. He was very honest and told me that my tank was 1,200 gallons. In most other cases, I probably would have been stooped into paying a higher price. Dan's Sewer Service was excellent, and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Dan's Sewer Service pumped and cleaned our home septic tank. The whole process took approximately an hour.

Our septic system was overflowing into the basement and our plumbing professionals recommended Dan's Sewer Service to pump the septic tank. Upon arrival, Jerry (who runs the business) got to work right away and visually inspected the tank. He was able to determine that the septic pump had to be the problem and proceeded to replace it. He made us feel very confident and comfortable by explaining his reasoning and showing us the broken parts and how they were supposed to function. He cleaned up after himself and left us satisfied and relieved with a working septic system!
Description of Work: Replaced the septic pump (in the middle of winter, digging through snow and ice!)
