About us

"Suburban Septic Service Inc has become a reputable and well-known Septic Installation, Service, and Cleaning company throughout the Northeast Ohio area. Since its founding by Patrick J. Valentine & Michele Valentine in 1987 with the purchase of one small pumper truck, the company has grown along with the Valentine Family. As a family-owned & operated company, Suburban Septic Service Inc is dedicated to providing high quality, affordable, and professional septic services to the Northeast Ohio area. In the early 1990s, the company quickly expanded with Patrick's knowledge and experience in the wastewater treatment industry as he trained and became a licensed and registered Installer and Service Provider for multiple types of household sewage treatment systems or "septic systems" approved by the Ohio Department of Health. In 1998, Suburban Septic Service Inc became a licensed distributor for multiple manufacturers of Sewage Treatment Systems. Nearly 37 years later, Suburban Septic Service Inc remains one of very few companies in the region qualified to install, service, and clean your septic system. We are licensed, bonded, and insured as an installer, septic hauler, and service provider in Cuyahoga, Medina, Lorain, Lake, and Summit Counties. Please call (330) 722-4262 to schedule a free on-site evaluation and quote for a replacement system, new home construction, or repair of an existing septic system.

We had asked for the customer to call and give a credit card before coming out to do the service, the customer did not call and for that fact we had no choice but to cancel the appointment on our scheduled calendar. We do apologize for the miscommunication that had happened with you. We service 40-50 customers each week and do not usually have this problem.

They showed up when they said they would. They where careful not to disturb anything but what needed to be replaced. I watched as they leveled and made sure the box was set correctly. Hauled old material out and finished by racking up dirt from grass and put back into dirt pile. I also use them for cleaning out my septic tank, same professional service.

My husband handled the initial visits for estimates and discussion, and then died suddenly. I fortunately was present for much of the conversation at the time of the initial visit, so I remember verbal promises. Sadly, Mr Valentine doesn't remember as well and has his wife handle all communication. She is not an especially pleasant person to interact with. After repeated phone calls they finally started the project weeks after they promised. Mr. Valentine also made a commitment to refill the dig site after the ground settled, (we noted our neighbors who experieinced a huge sink hole long after the contractor left). He committeed to not letting this happen. Months later, I have contacted the company about the re-fill and Mrs. Valentine was not especially friendly in her response, but relayed that it could get done sometime in the summer. When I asked if this could be earlier so I could plant grass and prepare my house for sale, she said and quot;I'm only relaying what he saysand quot;. And that was the end of our conversation. The work gets done, but it has not been a pleasant experience. I still will have to call back to remind them to come out here so I can plant grass in time for my home sale. Not looking forward to that phone call.

They have been helping us since 2001, they come out when they say they will, they are very punctual and responsive. I did have to have the pump replaced, but they tried to fix it without removing it and replacing it. It ended up needing it anyways, but I appreciate them saving me money.

I had scheduled an appointment first thing on a Sat. morning to have some minor work done. I have had previous septic cleanings done by this company. I called two days prior to confirm the appointment, they did not return my call. I called one day prior to confirm the appointment, they did not return my call. They did not show up for the appointment. My husband called that day to complain, they did not return his call. I sent a letter several days later describing my experience with them, they have not responded to my letter.
