This wasn't an emergency, our septic pump alarm was occasionally coming on and it appears our pump was turning on late. The crew came out the day they said (1 day after a call), quickly identified the problem and fixed it. I was quite unfamiliar with our system, so I asked a lot of questions while observing. They were very friendly and helpful, and explained how it was working while fixing the issue. I really appreciated that and their help. I highly recommend their services to anyone.

I originally called; went to voice mail but did not leave a message. They ended up calling me to see if they could help. They came the next morning. They called and notified me that they were running a little late and would be here shortly. Appreciated the phone call. Did excellent job. Cleaned everything and even checked my pump to make sure it was working properly. All my questions were answered. I will definitely use again.

The employee who came was very professional and courteous. He was the one that came and cleaned it out the last time. The only issue I have is finding the right additive to add to keep things working properly. I asked and was told one thing the last time and told another thing this time. So, I'm not really sure what is the right thing to use but will figure that out. The service was great he got here when he said he would, he went right to work uncovering the septic tank lid and immediately to cleaning the tank. I would use this service again just the jump in price and the uncertainty of what to use is the concern.

I called to get my septic tank pumped, and the company was able to come over the next day to do it. They were 45 minutes late, but they called to tell me they were running behind, and I know they couldn't help it so I still give them an and quot;Aand quot; for punctuality. The tank is underground, but I know exactly where it is, so it didn't take long to uncover it and start pumping it out. The dirt and grass were replaced afterwards, and the worker was very polite and efficient. The only thing that upset me was that after the truck left, I noticed quite a lot of oil had leaked out on my driveway in numerous spots, so I had to spend the next 90 minutes out in the cold sopping up the oil with paper towels and then trying to clean the stains by scrubbing them with baking soda. Given the freezing weather, my age and physical problems, it was not pleasant, and the stains are still visible. I see that another customer also noted that the truck left oil stains, so I think this company should do something to keep that from happening. That's why I rated them and quot;Cand quot; for professionalism instead of and quot;A.and quot; I would use them again, but only if they could assure me that their trucks no longer leak oil or that they will put something under their oil tank to protect the customer's property. I don't like paying for services that leave me to deal with a problem I didn't have before.

Description of Work: They pumped my septic tank. This is the second time I used this service. Only surprise I had was the cost. It had increased significantly since I used them the last time. It was probably 5 years since I used them last and the cost went up $100.00

Description of Work: They located my underground tank and pumped it out. Rather than charge me for a locator they called the county and had the plan emailed to me. This saved me time and $$$. They were very careful with my lawn and repaired the hole very nicely. They are good guys. Very professional.

.he was actually early, pleasant and professional, explained what he was doing and replaced the dirt and grass over the tank when he finished. It was straightforward, I knew where the tank was so there was no digging needed. I will use him again in the future. He suggests tanks be pumped every 3 to 5 years.

Called on March 5th and was immediately able to set up an appointment. They came out on the 8th, even calling ahead of time as requested so I could put up the dogs. Good work; no problems. Courteous and professional demeanor.
Description of Work: Septic tank pumping. The access to the tank is not covered by dirt and can be approached fairly closely by the truck via driveway. Hose run of about 50'. No additional maintenance required. (NOTE: Usually have tank pumped every couple of years.) Charge was $215.00.

See above explanation.
Description of Work: Our homeowners association approached Mike with an opportunity to do four septic tank pump outs in one trip. He offered us a discount and arrived thirty minutes early. They did all four tanks quickly and all the homeowners were very satisfied. Could not have been more pleased. The pricing above does not include the discounts we received.

Call Mike first, save time and get it done right.
Description of Work: I had called another company to pump our tank which went fine. However, our pump alarm had been going off and the first company failed to correct the problem. We were concerned that the repair would be major and costly, so thought a second opinion would be smart.This led to a call to Mike Lusk who came out to review the problem. Less than $100 later he had quickly determined the problem, fixed it and was on his way. He was completly honest and very proffessional. I would recommend him highly to anyone needed their septic system serviced.

Overall, it was an excellent service all. Because of this company's responsiveness and excellent customer service, we will definitely call them when it is time to have our septic system serviced.
Description of Work: Lee checked our septic tank level to see if the tank needed to be emptied. He had to dig a 3' x 3' area about 2' deep. After that, he was honest, and said that it didn't need the full servicing we had anticipated. He also provided us with a lot of information about how septic systems work.

The job went very well, Setting up an appointment was quite simple and scheduled for the next week. Nick was running a half hour late so I called Mike.

There were four people doing the work and they did show up on time. The people on the phone when I called to get an estimate were very nice. They price was so cheap. I jumped at the opportunity for them to do the work for me after I asked them a few questions. They were able to answer all of my questions and they explained the process very well. They seemed to know what they were doing. They ended up doing a good job for me.
Description of Work: They pumped my septic tank clean and installed new pipes that lead in to my house. They did remove the old pipes from my property.
