I had Evergreen pump my septic tank a few weeks ago and at that time Ron told me he may have to return to empty the overflow as well. I am so glad he told me that because when the second incident happened, I was prepared for it. As with his first visit, Ron explained every aspect of the work as it was happening. Because it took a little while to find the overflow, before he closed up the access, he inserted a pipe and capped it with a cement block to make finding it a bit easier in the future. Once again the work site was left clean and neat, the workers were friendly and professional, and I was left feeling confident that I got the best job anyone to hope for. Thanks again Ron!
Description of Work: Pumped the overflow tank, aerated the system, and poured chemicals.

Very satisfied with the outcome and hopefully do not need to see Ron for another 3 years...... But if I need him I know he will respond rapidly.
Description of Work: I called Ron the owner of Evergreen Cesspool and received the answering service. I provided all my contact information and explained that I had a toilet backing up on the ground floor of our high ranch. Literally within 5 minutes the owner Ron personally called me and explained that he was currently on a job but would come to my house immediately following. Ron gave me an estimated time of arrival within 2 hours. I mentioned to Ron that I had turned off the water and would just appreciate him arriving sometime today. Well in about an hour and 50 minutes the service men arrived followed by Ron the owner. Ron explained he could not determine what course of action would be needed until they started looking around. Turns out the main cesspool was near capacity and their was a blocking inside the house. He emptied the main cesspool and the overflow amounting to about 2,000 gallons of waste. He also used some kind of airation system and used three bottle of chemicals. Ron explained every detail of the process very thoroughly before doing anything. He outlined the costs and why certain things were recommended and allowed me to make an informed decision before agreeing to do anything.

It went great. They came by to clean out cesspool of new house. Had to find not one but two cesspools and then identify problem (problem was roots in the pipes). They cleared out the pipes and got everything running perfectly. Owner was very nice and very quick, did a good job, clearly explained pricing and all aspects of work that was done.

Ron is patient in terms of explaining the details. The price is much higher than the promotion though, he said it is a cesspool and not septic tank. Well, it is the same in terms of pumping out the solid at the bottom. Whatever, it is a waste of time on both sides. ============================================= Respond to the company. Got Citywide came in. They pumped 2000 gallon and told me there is a second cesspool. Also, asked the previous owner and they said there is a second cesspool. We haven't really located the second pool because Citywide wanted 2600$ to install a riser for the first one in order to trace all the way to the second pool, which I think is ridiculous. But, back to the septic/cesspool issue. At least Ron is wrong in the sense the first cesspool by definition is a septic. This is what the Citywide folks told me. This might be confusing, so essentially only the last receiving pool is called cesspool. This sort of makes sense, because the pools in the front are most likely dead, eventually water has to seep down in the last pool. It also explains why Ron emphasizes there is only one pool, so he thinks the septic pumping price does not apply. As a matter of fact, most long island uses cesspool, but there is need to pump septic because the definition of septic is not the same compared to the rest of the company, which uses the septic system that involves drain field and fully enclosed concrete box. But the bottom line is Ron quoted a much higher price to pump 2000 gallon of waste plus adding chemicals compared to Citywide, which is known to be an expensive company. Still, I do not see the difference between pumping a septic vs. pumping a cesspool, adding chemicals and other treatment is separately prices, there should not be a difference. The company's response saying they just clean the heavy waste on TOP of the liquid is clearly inconsistent with what is advertised "Here's the Deal: $250.00 for a septic tank pumping only. The Real Deal: Septic tanks collect and process waste-water solids, while the liquids (effluent) flow out into the drain field. If the sludge and scum are not pumped out, these solids build up and overflow to the drain field, causing your drain field to clog and fail. Don?t let this happen to you: get your septic pumped out today!". Nowhere did it mention that the cleaning is just for what is on the top, and Ron did not say that at the spot either. In contrast, it mentioned both sludge and scum. Seriously, who is gonna only pump the top of the liquid but leaves the sludge still in the tank?
Description of Work: Ron came in and looked at the place and explain to me about the tank and measure the depth and found it is a cesspool. He then offered a price which is much higher than expected. I decided to not do it and he left.

Response from EVERGREEN CUSTOM CESSPOOL
In response to your review, the promotion rate of $250.00 is for septic tank cleaning which entails cleaning the heavy waste on TOP of the liquid in the septic tank. This is done as a maintenance to help the water coming into the tank and leaving the tank to the overflow cesspool. Upon arrival to your home we determined that you do not have a septic tank but in fact have a single large cesspool. The process to clean a cesspool is different then maintaining a septic tank and involves other processes such as removal of excess water and chemical treatment to break down the solids at the BOTTOM of the cesspool thus incurring additional costs in which I explained to you is necessary to get the cesspool to drain properly because you do not have a septic tank but a large cesspool. Our pricing for the additional service that was suggested is in line with many other companies. Our goal is to provide the right service for your needs. We are sorry if you misunderstood but the promotion clearly says septic tank cleaning NOT cesspools. As you can see from other reviews, we are an A rated company and strive to maintain that through quality and customer service.

Ron was prompt and professional. He assessed the situation, determined the problem, discussed the plan, left to purchase parts and returned in a timely fashion. He removed the disposal and reconnected the pipes and the dishwasher. He was very nice and not costly. I would definitely use him again.

Outstanding service! I called for the first time this morning and spoke with Ron, the owner, who was driving and pulled over to take my call. I believed it was time for service and although it was not an emergency, he arranged to come personally the same day. He and his employee emptied my cesspool, checking with me after 1000 gallons in case I didn't want to spend additional money to empty my the tank entirely. I wanted to empty all the way, which he did and asked about chemicals, explaining how much chemical is appropriate per 1000 gallons. He was courteous, committed and absolutely cares about his customers. I have asked Ron to come back in a couple of weeks with his camera to help us locate our main cesspool which 3 other companies have not been able to find. I will use Evergreen Custom Cesspool exclusively going forward.

Provider called and was extremely helpful.
Description of Work: Nothing - He was on vacation. He called and told us he was gone. He recommended someone else for the call. Nothing wrong with that!
I chose Evergreen because there was a deal on drain cleaning that popped up on Angie's list. Ron was very prompt, friendly and professional. He had to run the snake very far into the drain twice to get things cleared, but ultimately got it running again. And he returned later that day when I called him because the pipe under the sink was leaking slightly - he had to make a big trip to get back here but he did it no questions asked. My only regret is that he could not do some other plumbing work we needed done. I would definitely recommend him.

I had a similar problem with my mother in laws downstairs shower stall not draining a few years back. Her tenant called a competitor. The technician needed help because of a worn out cutting blade (used to grind through roots). After milking the job and struggling like bumbling idiots they presented a bill for around $1500. I have an 'A' rated service company and wasn't having it. I paid about half and knew I was still ripped off. When I needed service this time I was able to use my Angie's membership to find a true 'A'. I looked for a close A rated company and read the last 5 reviews. All A's, the same technician mentioned in most ratings (like mine) and a rating that matched what I thought I needed. My wife met the tech and within 1-2 hours it was fixed for what my company charge as a minimum for service. ($250) Thanks for your Professionalism. It was a pleasure

He could not have been nicer and more professional. His prices were reasonable. I will definitely use him again when the need arises.
Description of Work: Ron came the next day after I contacted him. He determined that the interior drain could not be cleaned because the approach was blocked. He did clean out my septic tank, put a pipe in the overflow tank and supplied septic tank cleaner. He applied the charge for the drain cleaning to the septic tank cleaning.

He even came into my house and helped me figure out a completely separate plumbing issue that I was having. I highly recommend his services.

Ron was extremely timely and informative about the job that needed to be done to remove the blockage from the main drain line located in the basement. He worked diligently and efficiently to resolve the problem. Once the blockage was removed, he checked that all the lines were clear by testing the water output from the sinks, washing machine, dishwasher, and toilets. His prices are very fair, and his dedication to the task at hand is impeccable.

Outstanding service!! Very knowledgeable and professional, with a very strong work ethic. Came when he said he would. He explained exactly what was needed done and why. He then did it perfectly and actually charged me less than anticipated. He showed me the work when completed and tested/showed me that everything is now working properly. He explained what other measures could be done but why they were not recommended or necessary. He also explained what might be considered for future planning years down the road. I highly recommend Evergreen. They will be the only company i call in the future for this type of service. Thank You for a job very well done!

I can no say enough wonderful things about Evergreen. The service was flawless. My husband and I just moved in and our septic tank overflowed during a blizzard. I called a few companies to get estimates and Evergreen's was the best, plus they returned my call right away. They came right away to do the job with the owner there every minute. I had no idea where the cesspools were but, even under 4 feet of snow and ice, they located and pumped both out... In the middle of a blizzard. I had a few follow up questions a few months later and they were happy to help.
