Recent Septic Tank Service Reviews in Tampa Bay
- ALL IN ONE SEPTICAfter calling all around looking for someone to come out and pump my septic tank on a busy Friday getting no one who could come out..I finally came across this Angi app, and got a few call backs saying they couldn't come out until Monday...then I get a call from Ricky the owner of All In One Septic Inc who said he'd be able to call a driver out that afternoon!! But to my surprise when the driver got here it was actually the owner, Ricky and his Dad who actually took the time out to pump it so we didn't have to wait!! Not only were they fast, friendly and very knowledgeable, but they also did it all at a Great Price!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND All In One Septic Inc to anyone who needs ANY kind of service with their Septic!! Thank You!
- AA Cut Rate Septic Tank ServiceA big shout out to John and his crew, I have had John take care of my tank since I moved in in 1997. Finally, we figured it was time for a new system. As this one was a 61-year-old system, I babied it for way too long. The work was on time, the guys were very courteous and the owner went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable with everything. Thanks, John, who would know a new septic system would be such an epic event. I recommend John and the crew!!
- Grasshopper Earth ServicesHe was also excellent. I will recommend them to others. I will use them for any service that I will have in the future
- The Clean Plumbers, LLCMy septic and toilets inside my rental house were working wrong, and another guy who I had hired, told the lady that I needed new toilets, and then when this guy came out, and he actually figured out something that I had never known the whole 20 years that I had lived in the house, that there was another septic thank on the property, right beside the other one that was causing a problem. He didn't even charge me for coming out, checking it and finding the problem. They are very competent people, they are very interested in finding out what the actual problem is, and doing the work that it takes to figure it out, instead of saying they don't know what it is, which is what everybody said for all this time. They are my number one choice
- The Clean Plumbers, LLCMy husband's mother was coming to visit Monday morning... He came on Sunday evening, used a snake and got on the roof to clean the vent too. He also reminded us to use enzymes in the septic.
- The Clean Plumbers, LLCAfter two other plumbers either threw up their hands or said "no way," I called The Clean Plumbers to tackle getting Humpty-Dumpty all put back together. I'd used this company to install a new water heater a couple of months prior and had no problems. Another plumber had been recommended to reinstall all my plumbing after my kitchen renovation. With two plumber fails I was delighted that The Clean Plumbers did not seem thrown by the scope and difficulty of my plumbing needs. The addition of a farm or apron front sink was the source of all the difficulty as the deeper sink lowered and therefore cramped the many things going on under my sink. All the previous plumbing configurations were not possible. With a large disposal, new dishwasher connections that wouldn't reach and a reserve osmosis system & tank under the sink--well, lets just say it was very complicated, and tight! The Clean Plumbers sent Jay out the afternoon I called. Jay was very pleasant, positive and professional. He didn't seem thrown at all by all that I had going on under that sink. After a couple or so hours he had everything working perfectly. Jay had to be creative with getting it all to work in such a tight space but took it all in stride. And, when finished it all looked nice, not like the jumbled mess I had anticipated I'd be left with. I regret not calling The Clean Plumbers first, but will definitely next time
- Chris's Plumbing ServiceI do not normally like to write bad reviews, I run a car dealership and I know the importance of getting good reviews, but the person that represented your company treated me like dirt. on April 2, 2023 your company was suppose to have drained my septic, I made it home in time to speak with your worker. He stated to me and my wife that the septic did not need draining that he had to just clean the filter. He then told me that I could do it myself and not have to call them out. I took his word and paid him for the service. It was not but a few days later that we started experiencing the same problem. When I called the office the lady on the other end told me there is no way her man said he drained the septic and I was a liar. I since called out another company and they drained my septic and checked me drain field. the problem was there was another filter just dropped down in the tank blocking the flow. I tried showing her the pictures that the guy never draged his hose across my yard, but she still said I was a liar. No problem, I will never do business with your organization and will let everyone I know how I was treated
- Olin Plumbing IncMark came to check a toilet tank that wasn't filling with water. He immediately realized the problem (which I don't like to admit was something I could have done) and turned a knob behind the tank. The tank started filling right away. He did not charge me and was very courteous and nice. Was a bit embarrassing being that I tried to fix myself but never thought someone would have messed with the knob on the floor :) THANKS MARK!
- Olin Plumbing IncThey were great. They did a wonderful job. They squeezed us in during a very busy time when no one else could as we had a lot of rain in our area. The price was very reasonable.
- Olin Plumbing IncAfter having a couple inches of waste water sitting in the shower stall floor, I called Olin after some searching around. Upon arriving, Will let me know that due to layout he would have to pull the toilet in the same bathroom to snake the drain and troubleshoot. With the toilet off, he discovered the flange was broken and would need to be replaced, requiring the surrounding slab to be broken up to install the replacement flange. After snaking, he found no blockage so we proceeded to pop the septic tank lid off only to find it at max capacity. Will did not have to proper tooling to break the slab up as far down as needed due to the drain pipe cracking, so the following day the repair was completed. I was informed of the cost of the repairs of upfront as they were discovered and the employees were very professional and pleasant to deal with

"Excellent. This is a father/son business. The son came and was very polite and personable. He was a very hard worker and perfectionist. Most of the septic lids down here cemented on and have to be pried off. After the cleaning instead of cementing it back on the young man doing the job sealed it with a pliable tar so that the next time we have it cleaned the lid will come off more easily. My husband and I highly recommend them!

"Our plumbing woes started the evening before we called Tampa Bay Plumbing with our main toilet completely nonfunctional and sewage water backed up and flooded through the shower drain in our master bath with drainage/pressure issues in our other bathroom as well. We were able to stabilize the situation that night and called the following morning. I explained the situation and they were very helpful and knowledgeable on the phone and said someone would be out in a couple of hours. I fully expected the typical 4+ hour window of availability much later in the day, but in less than 2 hours I received both an email and text with a picture of the employee who would be coming out saying that he was already on his way. Very professional and put me at ease immediately. Charles was wonderful (and great with our dog too!), and after a quick assessment recommended clearing the blockage through our roof vent, an option I didn't even know was a possibility. He explained the process, I signed a written estimate, and he carried out the job in under an hour. We didn't pay one penny over the original written estimate (with the estimate and invoice also emailed). Charles cleared the blockage at 60 feet and then went an additional 40 ft to ensure everything was flowing well past the city clean out. Excellent service from beginning to end. Would definitely call them again if we have any further plumbing issues and recommend to our local friends and family.

Septic Tank Service FAQ
-
What are the signs your septic tank is full?
Answer: There are several signs that indicate your septic tank could be full. These include standing water over your septic tank, a strong odor coming from your yard, gurgling water, slow drains, or a sewage backup. While many of these signs could also be indicative of a clogged system, they should all be checked out by a professional ASAP to avoid costly damages. In the absence of any of these signs, it’s recommended that septic tanks be emptied every 3 to 5 years on average.
-
How often should a septic tank be serviced?
Answer: On average, septic tanks should be serviced every 3 to 5 years in the absence of any worrying signs that the tank is clogged or full. The size of your septic tank, the number of people living in your home, and your average water usage will all impact how often your septic tank needs to be serviced.
-
What are the most common causes of septic tank failure?
Answer: The most common cause of septic tank failure is improper maintenance. Failing to pump a septic tank on the appropriate schedule will cause septic tank failure and likely result in a costly septic tank repair or replacement. On average, septic tanks should be pumped every 3 to 5 years, but the size of your tank, the number of people in your home, and your average water usage may shorten or extend this timeframe.
-
How much does it cost to pump a septic tank?
Answer: The cost to pump a septic tank is $400 on average or about $0.30 per gallon. The size of your septic tank, as well as local labor costs, will impact the cost of pumping your septic tank. Most septic tanks are between 600 and 2,000 gallons in size, meaning the average cost range is between $180 to $600.
-
How much does it cost to install a septic system?
Answer: The cost to install a septic tank system is between $3,060 and $9,810, on average. The size of the septic tank you choose, the land you’re installing it on, the type of system you choose, and local labor costs will all influence the total cost of installing a septic system. Anaerobic septic tanks (those that don’t need oxygen) typically cost between $3,000 and $8,000. Aerobic systems, which utilize oxygen to activate bacteria and are popular on smaller properties, usually cost between $10,000 and $20,000.
-
How long does a septic system last?
Answer: When septic systems are well maintained, they can last up to 30 years or more. If a septic system isn’t properly maintained, such as when it isn’t pumped regularly, it may malfunction and require costly repairs or a premature replacement. In general, septic tank pumping is recommended every 3 to 5 years to ensure the septic system lasts as long as possible.
