Recent Septic Tank Service Reviews in Davis
- Zoom DrainJesse was extremely professional and very personable. Would definitely hire Zoom Drain again, and his customer service was exemplary!
- Zoom DrainThey came out within hours on a Friday stayed from 4:30pm until 9:30pm. Got the line cleared. Then came back on Saturday to repair the broken line. What I paid for Fridays work was deducted from total bill for Saturday. Total was very reasonable. I highly recommend working with this company. Especially over the bigger firms. Who way over charge!!!!!!
- Armstrong PlumbingI spent $700 on that work. The job went well. They always send the same person out. They have been here before. Even when we call the office, they know who we are.
- Armstrong PlumbingThey came out and checked site, gave me a written estimate and did job after signing a contract. Arrived on time and completed installation on time. Now wait for results.
- Boyd Plumbing, a Bonney CompanyJon was here when he said he would be and did a wonderful job. The pump works great and there is no more water being wasted. This is not the first time we have used Boyds and I am sure it will not be the last. They are very professional and prompt and I feel they are a very honest company and that is hard to find these days
- DOMCO PLUMBING INCVery happy with the service. Actually learned some things about septic tanks, etc. :) This is the first house that we've owned that had a septic tank and Gil was full of helpful information. He really knows his sh$%! ;) We will absolutely use Domco again and will recommend to friends and family. Thank you
- DOMCO PLUMBING INCVery responsive straight up pumping job. Spouse dug hole to lid (I had a broken leg) she did well and the truck operator concluded the operation . He explained the entire procedure and was a very personable individual .
- DOMCO PLUMBING INCGot the recommendation for Domco from Angie's List. We didn't have any septic problems, we had just bought the house, and the tank hadn't been emptied in 6 years. I called them at lunchtime, and they came out at 3 pm. Gil answered all my questions, checked out the health on the system, and emptied the tank. He did a real clean job, and kept me informed of what he was seeing and doing. He told me about the Angie's List discount, which helped out. I'd definitely recommend Domco
- DOMCO PLUMBING INCHad a faucet break that spewed water all over. The shut-off was also faulty. Called Domco and they immediately sent someone out who repaired the line and replaced the faucet. They also gave us advice on how to do a clean-up of the wet conditions without having to call a water damage specialist. Saved us a truckload of money there. We have over the last couple of years used Domco as our "go-to" plumber. We have probably spent $2,500.00 to $3,000.00 in that time. They serviced and repaired our ejection pump as well as providing help for the "usual" plumbing issues found in an older home in which the previous owners remodeled NOTHING according to code. They have always been prompt, courteous, reasonable priced, and professional. Can't ask for more
- DOMCO PLUMBING INCThey arrived on time Tuesday afternoon and Eric started digging to find the septic tank - using their camera and a county permit plan that I had available. Eric and Gil found the septic tank and pumped it out. They worked late to get it done - had to come back the following morning to "typhoon" out the lines to the leach fields. When they returned, they used their camera to find what they thought was the Distribution Box - but which, in reality was a crushed pipe from the Septic Tank to the Distribution Box - it had been crushed by rocks and roots (never plant oleander near a septic tank!). They dug out the pipe, replaced it with a new one, found that the (very old) cover of the Distribution Box was rotted out redwood, so they got a new Distribution Box, replaced the old one, then flushed out to the leach field (which was thankfully fine). Dom (the owner) communicated with me frequently and clearly. The guys were polite, timely, and clean (considering what they were doing!). Not sure if price competitive, but work was of high quality... I would definitely recommend

"Great. I needed to have the fitting on the gas line that comes out of the wall updated to be used with a new range and oven. It's an older home and the existing gas line fitting would not work with the new range. The work was completed quickly and correctly -- and that was terrific. And yet, that wasn't the whole value play for me. This range was being installed on December 23 and that's when the problem was found. Facing a Christmas with no range and oven was a real possibility and yet, not surprisingly, it was very difficult to find someone who could address this quickly. The fix was known to be easy yet availability was the problem. And, in fact, I had struck out after calling a half dozen firms on Angie's list trying to find someone who could do this. When I called Armstrong it was the same story: It would be several days before they could get someone out to address the issue. Yet, when I explained the impact of that, the woman from Armstrong services was extremely sensitive to the situation and reworked her tech schedule of get someone in to get it done that day -- within a couple of hours of my request. It's not an exaggeration to say that she saved Christmas. After this experience, I would highly recommend Armstrong.

"On the scheduled day and time, Service Technician Steve Hendry arrived. I had been given a call by Whitney about an hour prior to tell me the technician was on his way. She was very helpful and pleasant to speak too. I found Steven to be very professional and knowledgeable not only about what services they provide and how their product works but about the system at my house. He educated me on when and what type of materials were used in my neighborhood. After discussing what I called them about he promptly got to work. He allowed me to watch the camera run down the line on the large video screen. His equipment was hi tech and he explained what he was looking for and what he saw and didn't see. He explained how the line connects to the city system and what areas I am responsible for as a homeowner. It turns out my line had been replaced at some point before I purchased the home and was in pretty good shape. He did see two potential areas of concern and gave me a couple of options on how to repair them. After Steve did his work, I felt confident that I did not have any immediate concerns. There was no charge for running the camera down my line but I felt I got a lot of information that helped me with my concerns. If I decide to address the minor areas he pointed out or if something worse developed, I will definitely hire The Trenchless Co. Now I understand why this company is recommended by so many.

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.
