It went well. One thing I suggest they do differently is that if I don't pick up my phone, not to leave the job site and come back the next day. I did give you guys the ok to pump the tank without me there so I wasn't sure why I needed to answer the phone before you guys went ahead with the job. Glad that you guys were able to come back the next day to do the job though.
Description of Work: Provider came out and pumped about 750 gallons of my tank.

When he arrived and within a couple minutes discovered our field pump had been unplugged. This is my first experience being on a septic and Jeff educated me and my wife on some basics. He recommended we not pump our septic and only charged us a minimal service fee. Very pleased with Jeff's honesty and workmanship.

It was fine. They are a good company. I'll have to call them again pretty soon. They just come and I have a riser and they are very thorough. The guy's always dressed very nice. He looks very nice for someone that is running a pumping truck. He doesn't have to do any digging, because I have a riser. The price is comparable.

(member name removed), Thank you for the good review on Angie's. We really appreciate the positive feedback. We are happy to know that you are satisfied with our services and look forward to continuing our relationship with regular maintenance of your system. (pump-out every 3-5 years) We are still finalizing the as-built process with the county but should have that wrapped up within the week. Thanks again it has been our pleasure serving you.

On approximately 08-01-2014 I made an appointment for Lee Sanitation to come @ 2:00 PM on 08-15-2014. I called when they failed to turn up on August 15th at the appointed time. and was advised by Tammy that: They wanted to call me but they failed to take my phone # when I made the appointment! I suggested to them that they could easily have searched on-line under my name and address. When they took my order they were very professional. When, however, I called them to see if they would be arriving sometime after the 2:00 P.M. appointment time on august 15th,, the person with whom I spoke was less than professional, in fact, I found her rather sarcastic. James Sammon Burien, Washington
Description of Work: Lee Sanitation had an appointment to empty our Septic Tank but failed to show up --- and --- failed to notify us that they would be unable to come! Their excuse when I contacted them? "Both of our truck broke down and we do not know when they will be repaired"! When I asked that why I was not contacted by phone, I was advised that they did not have my phone number!

I just discovered this review and am so sorry to hear that your experience with us was so awful. We did not lie, both trucks did break down unfortuantely and I did forget to get your number when scheduling your appointment and I did try to find it online but was unable to. I am also so sorry you felt the woman on the phone was sarcastic. Apparently our unfortunate series of circumstances compelled you to bash our small business in these tough economic times. THANK YOU FOR THAT!!!

poorly bid. Original bid was $7195. They kept adding on items that should have been addressed in the original bid. The bidder left the company and they were reluctant to give me the contract we signed. She suggested 6 weeks to complete. The job actually took 7 months to complete. They originally said they would handle the permit process with the City, but nothing was done with the city until I did it. They left a mess that I had to hire someone else to clean up.

The job took longer than originally planned because of the size and shape of my yard and the depth of the trench that needed to be dug (~12 feet). Dale had estimated 2 days, but it ended up taking a week. He did not charge me any additional money, and even came over on a Sunday to finish filling in the holes and clean up. He and his helpers were very courteous and professional and I would totally recommend them to anyone who needed a job of this type done.
Description of Work: Connected house to new side sewer and decommissioned septic tank. Approximately 100 feet of sewer pipe were installed in a 10-12 feet deep trench leading from the back yard to the front yard.

Our family has been using this company for over 40 years. Lee has since passed away and the company is now owned by someone who use to work for him. There doesn't appear to be any changes to the company since it has been taken over.
Description of Work: Really simple service. Called up, scheduled an appointment and she was here on time. Knew where the septic tank was and paid extra for her to dig it up. We have a very large septic tank which gets serviced every 3-5 years by Lee's.

Terrific. We did a lot of research on Angie's list and elsewhere. We got bids from 3 contractors that were highly recommended. The other two bids to hook up the side sewer were for $5,800 and $10,000. Those bids were comparable with bids at neighbor houses on the same block. Don Olson did the work, at their bid price, when they said they would. Very honest and hard working contractor. I'd hire them again in a second.

When I first called Lee's I was telling them my story and she gave me the idea of trying to hold the float ball on the pump to pump out the basin. I tried that but found there was a lot of sediment (I think from egg shells and such in the garbage disposal) so I did not want to hurt my pump. I called back and asked them to send someone out to pump out the bottom of the basin. At first they tried to schedule me for a couple of days out but when I mentioned I was going to be out of town they were able to get someone onsite in a few hours. The pumper arrived and went right to work. She was very nice and helpful! After everything was pumped out I was able to find that the O-rings on the pump connection were worn so I replaced them and all was fine. Lee's Sanitation did a great job and accommodated my urgent need! Thanks!
Description of Work: I am hooked up to the city sewer system but unfortunately I live down a hill so I have to use a sewer pump with a holding tank to pump up the hill to the sewer connection. My pump has been having a problem with sealing so I was getting back feed from the sewer line into my tank so the pump was continuously pumping. I needed to figure out why it wasn't sealing so I had Lee's Sanitation come out and pump out my grinder pump basin (not a septic tank).

She first dug up the pump tank and then had to dig for the septic tank so took longer than normal. Our only complaint is that she did not use a plastic tarp to place the dug up sod and dirt on. This would have made the replacement and cleanup of the dirt and soil much nicer. Without the tarp there was dirt and rocks everywhere. She also did not replace the sod well. My husband had to go out and redo everything.

BOTH TANKS NEED TO BE EXPOSED IN ORDER TO DO A THOROUGH INSPECTION. THE PUMP TANK IS PUMPED IF NEEDED BASED ON THE INSPECTION. USUALLY THE CUSTOMER EXPOSES THE TANKS, 1- TO AVOID THE EXTRA COST, 2- THE POTENTIAL FOR A MESS IN THE YARD, 3- THEY USUALLY KNOW WHERE THE SYSTEM IS LOCATED AND 4-THEY USUALLY RECOVER AS WELL. I WILL TAKE THIS REPORT AND ACT ACCORDINGLY BY PROVIDING MY PUMP TRUCKS WITH TARPS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT. ALSO WE DO ENCOURAGE OUR CUSTOMERS TO HAVE RISERS WITH LIDS INSTALLED FOR CONVENIENCE, LESS MESS AND EASE FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED.
