When I called to schedule the work I mentioned that the distance from the truck access to the septic tank was about 100 feet, so the person on the phone said that she would make sure to mention that to the operator so he would be certain to bring sufficient suction tubing. Walts Septic tank service showed up promptly on time and with enough suction tubing to reach the septic tank. They pointed out one problem that had developed since the new tank was installed: Roots from a nearby maple tree had managed to find an opening and had invaded the tank and had already developed into quite a tangled mass. He removed the mass of roots and recommended adding copper sulfate every six months or so to prevent that from happening again. He pumped both chambers of the tank, rinsed it well, and checked the flow from the tank to the drain field to verify that everything was working properly.
Description of Work: We needed to get the septic tank pumped. We had a new Septic tank and drain field installed three years ago, and the installer recommended that we get it pumped after the first two or three years rather than waiting the usual five or six, just to verify that everything was working properly.

Walt Jr. and his assistant showed up right on time, and dug down to the risers. They used a long hose so they didn't need to bring the truck into the back yard. They pumped the tank, rinsed it, and added the chemicals. They were finished in about an hour. We've used Walt's for 20 years. He has all the right equipment to do the job quickly, correctly, and professionally, and he knows how the septic systems in this area have been built over the years. He does the work himself, with an assistant, rather than sending out a couple of young kids who don't know what they're doing.
Description of Work: They pumped the septic tank, rinsed it, added the appropriate chemicals, and refilled the holes to the risers.
