Technician Scott was prompt, professional, and courteous. He provided a detailed written observation and we later received a printed invoice in the mail. I also downloaded an instant $20 coupon from their website which he was happy to honor. I dug the hole myself so my bill was only $189 for the pumping which I felt was a good value. The only slight downside I would mention is that as a new customer my appointment lead time was 6 weeks. Not a big deal just something to keep in mind when scheduling.

The service was excellent. They arrived on time, when the technician saw that the tank had a high water level and needed to be pumped, he was able to arrange for the pump truck to arrive right away.. the repair price was reasonable and we are very happy with the service. Where other contractors said i needed a new pump altogether, Walters was able to repair my existing pumps electrical connections at a significantly lower price than a full pump replacement. so happy with the service.

I needed my tank pumped out on a rather short notice, but didn't want to pay a big emergency fee. they were able to come out later that same day and pumped it without any extra charges. I was going to get them out for further service, but didn't need them after all. I will definitely consider using them again. They have a nice range of services available, including jetting and drainfield probing.

They did a fine job. They showed up on time, pumped it out and left. They did all the paper work which was nice because the township wanted all the paper to be sent to them.

We had a clogged septic line on a weekend day. It took approximately 1/2 hour to unclog the line. We expected to be charged extra because the service was provided on the weekend, but felt $445.00 was exceedingly high. Plus, my husband had to help the repair person load a piece of heavy equipment back onto the truck.

Response from WALTERS ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES
I am sorry to hear you are unhappy with our pricing. We are a flat rate company and we use only the newest equipment to open drain lines. When any calls come in we will always tell the customer our pricing before going out to perform the service. You were charged base rate of $350 for jetting the line open and a $95.00 weekend charge. We do not just snake open a waste lines we use the water pressure to open and clean the line of any debris which is a much better solution than just snaking a line open as other companies do. As far as the helping our tech load his machine, I am sorry. All our vehicles have ramps to load and unload the equipment and I will discuss this with our techs. The machine this tech used is roughly 120 lbs and sometimes we do have 2 techs on th etruck for when we use this but on weekends our techs usually go out on calls by themselves. I will make sure we take care of this. Please understand I take our company's customer satisfaction very seriously and we want all our customers to be happy. Sometimes price is what it is but hopefully we took care of your issues and now you are running free and clear again. Thank you for this email to let me know how we are doing and what we can do to better help our customers in the future. Steve Walters Owner, Walters Environmental Services Inc.

They came out the second time because we had so much rain that the ground was saturated and was running into the septic tank. They seemed very knowledgeable and they were very prompt. They seemed very professional and they didn't push me to do something that I didn't need to do at that time. I had asked them about my drain and possibly doing something with that. They didn't pressure me into doing anything. They'll probably come back at a later time to look at it.
Description of Work: Walters Environmental Services came out twice and pumped the tank out.

veI called Thursday and they said they would have someone out the next day between 12 and 4. The service man (Scott) called about 30 minutes before he arrived and arrived on time. He listened patiently while I explained the problem (downstairs toilet back up) then dug up the tank. He spent about 15 minutes just checking it out to determine the problem. He then said that some systems had an access pipe that would make removing the clog much easier and $200 cheaper. He proceeded, in the pouring cold rain, to dig around the septic tank through near solid rock to try and find the pipe. He probably worked at it for 20 minutes! Our system is very old and didn't have the access pipe but he actually told me how to install it so that I wouldn't have to pay for future clog issues! I asked him if his company told him to try and save customers money and he said and quot;My company wants me to treat our customers right.and quot; Wow. Scott then came into the house and promptly unclogged the septic pipe. I don't have a price comparison because i haven't had this issue before, so I gave it a B because it was expensive though as I said I had no comparison so not really fair on my part :). Anyway, I hope I never need them other than for clean outs but he was wonderful and had such wonderful things to say about his company and his boss!

It went very well. They notified us that our tank was starting to slope and the probable cause was a nearby tree that we will need to remove soon.
Description of Work: They emptied our septic tank. This included digging about a foot down to the top of the tank as we don't have an access portal.

On the night prior to their arrival, we heard an alarm in our basement. When we saw which alarm was sounding we knew there would be a BIG issue since it was Friday night and many companies do not have after-hour, emergency services. I researched Angie's List, and found Walter's. I left a message with the after-hour emergency call center and was pleased to have gotten a call back within minutes. The gentleman who called was professional and courteous. He asked me to perform a few inspections to determine what / who we may need to come out to the property. He scheduled a plumber to arrive the following morning. On Saturday morning we received a call regarding his ETA, upon arrival he inspected everything, showed me the issues and provided us with a service order. He completed everything without any issues. Walter's Environmental Services was GREAT! Great staff of people - professional and thorough.

Professional! From the big truck that came 'til the job was done, the technician gave us excellent service. Being our first home with a well and septic, we had a lot of questions which were all answered patiently while the tech was working. On arrival, he immediately was able to identify how many tanks we had although one top was still covered by a foot of dirt. He shoveled down, opened all three tanks, checked our pump to see if it was working and verified that our leach field was draining properly. Our first tank was packed full which he knew as soon as he opened the second tank and found solid waste. All tanks were pumped clean! During the process, he mentioned that tank extenders would help anyone needing, to find the openings again and then called the office to check pricing for us. Because we live in the woods and find it hard to keep those openings uncovered, we opted to pay the ($190 each) to have our 2 main tank extenders put on. He said that we should NOT bother to cover the pump tank because it was easier for techs to check the pump without extenders and that particular tank neck is already high enough. NO oversell or hard sell at all. The very next day a truck arrived and our extenders were put on. We are thrilled with the service and will use them every few years from now on!! Highly recommend.
Description of Work: Our 2 (500-gallon) septic tanks were cleaned plus our 500-gallon pump tank; the leach field was checked and 2 tank extenders put on to raise our tank necks.

Based on Walters advise and experience with this location and its previous owners, we will not be spending additional monies on a secondary holding tank. It was recommended by the initial septic chosen by the realtor, but everything I read online was contrary to that advise. Walters professional advise fell in line with everything I read and saved me about $1,500 on an unnecessary spend.

I called Walters, getting thier answering service. The technician returned a call within 5 minutes, showed up 45 minutes later and had my problem fixed within an hour. He was polite, professional and friendly even though I caused him to miss the Super Bowl. It was suggested I get my system pumped. They showed up the next day and did just that at very competitive pricing. I would highly recommend this company and will use them in the future.
Description of Work: Super Bowl Sunday my septic system backed up. Walter's technician water jetted the lines to clear the blockage and evaluated the condition of the system making suggestions to avoid future problems.
