    They worked hard and got the job done. Home built in 1963. Septic cover was difficult to reach but they persisted and finished the job.

    I hired them in Oct. of 2019. I told them that the lid of my 2nd tank had a concrete lid and needed a tripod hoist. When they came they came without the hoist and tried to remove the lid by hand. The lid turned sideways in the tank and got stuck. They said to me that's all they could do, told me to get in touch with an engineer, and left me with the mess. I'll never use them again and don't recomend them.

    Response from Company:

    Hello Adam. We are very sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction nearly a year after we provided services for you. As you indicated in your comments, your lid is extremely heavy. We recommended that you call a local excavator to have them replace this lid. We tried our best to remove the lid but it was clearly a job that required an excavator. We pride ourselves on our work and would welcome the oppertunity if you would like to discuss the matter further. Please feel free to contact us at our office at anytime.

    Great experience all around. I needed my septic pumped fast and they managed to fit me in the next day! So nice, and they are very clear with their pricing (which is excellent by the way) Daniel came to pump and he was very knowledgeable and nice, did a great job and told us about our tank (we recently closed so it was very helpful) Definitely hire these guys!

    I get that this time of year they do get busy, but that is still no reason to overbook appointments. I was told that they would be there between 1-4 pm on the scheduled date, but after a phone and 2 returned calls we finally received service after 5:30 pm. It should be considered that we, the customer, have schedules also. But thank you for your professional service and passing on your information to help us keep our systems working properly.

    If you can't locate the sceptic cap call your town building dept for a copy of the "as built" schematic for your home. It will save you money and speed the cleaning process.

    Seal of Approval

    What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

    1. Verify Trade License
      HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
    2. Verify Insurance
      As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
    3. Verification of State Business Filings
      For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
    4. Criminal Records Search
      HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
    5. Sex Offender Search
      We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
    6. Bankruptcy Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
    7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
    8. Liens Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
    9. Identity Verification (SSN)
      HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
    10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
      We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
