They arrived on schedule and only took a couple days to get scheduled. They were fast and professional. They cleaned up and put everything in order as if they hadn't been there. Did a great job.
Description of Work: Needed to have our septic tank pumped out.

Description of Work: This company has the biggest ads in local phone books but they don't answer their own phone! They use an answering service. The first time they did not call back. The second time a couple of days later they did call back promptly within minutes and came as scheduled. Big truck with all the bells and whistles. Tech explained the failed first callback was because someone had been out of town. My yard had become mystifyingly wet around the septic tank and I feared a major problem. The problem was minor, a clogged filter that they showed me how to servvce simply every six months or so (pull it out and hose it clean). They cleaned the filter and pumped the tank. I thought the charge was a bit high for what became only a routine pumpout plus a few minutes to clean the filter, but OK.

That is the complete story ....... high prices and low responsiveness, I choose another contractor.
Description of Work: I called Tri-State and left a message for them to return my call on Tuesday. No return call. I called again on Thursday and this time they returned the call. They wanted $ 75 to come and estimate the job. I had already removed the pump and told them the size of the pump I needed. They said (on the phone) that they could repair the pump for $ 450 to $ 550. I asked them for the cost of a new pump and Karen (the women I was talking) said about $ 900. She was talking of a 1/3 hp pump. This was just for the pump, the charge to re-do the wiring and install the pump was in addition. I then told her that the pump I had was still available in 1/2 hp and I could purchase a new pump for $ 450. I told her that I was not interested in having them come out and do a complete estimate as their prices seemed not to be competitive.

Response from TRI-STATE LIQUID WASTE
My apologies to the customer if we did not respond in a timely manner, this is not our normal practice. We have built a very solid customer base over 17 years of prompt and economical service. We use a answering service after hours and a secretary during normal business hours. We do not give firm prices on the phone for pumps. There are many different sizes and types and installations. Prices can range from $275.00 to $1475.00 for a 1/2 hp pump. The price quoted was for a standard dosing pump with a 2 year warranty and the $900.00 included installation and we install a new float switch. The price does not include any additional electrical work or plumbing that may be needed. We attempt to give a reasonable estimate over the phone with every customer. It is impossible to be accurate given the circumstances of many different pumps and installations. We are continuously trying to improve our communications with customers and will continue to do so in the future.

I received a notice from the county inspector that the jet motor on my septic tank was cold and non-functioning. I contacted Tri-State Liquid waste and they made an appointment very quickly. The serviceman arrived in a modern and very clean van (my service required repair, not pumping). He was quick with the repair, efficient, knowledgeable, and very friendly. I've added them to my speed-dial for future service on my waste management system.
Description of Work: Diagnosis of the problem resulting in the loss of jet motor function and performance of the required repair to restore jet motor function.

Mr. Pennington arrived on time and thoroughly inspected the system. He also explained how it worked and told us about the routine maintenance it needed. He has many years of experience working with all types of septic systems and we trusted his evaluation.
Description of Work: We hired Tri-State to inspect the aerobic system of a home we wanted to purchase.
