Recent Septic Tank Service Reviews in Los Molinos
- Ground Work ConstructionThe whole thing took him just 2 days. Kevin explained what he was going to need to do and why. When I asked and quot;how comeand quot; questions he was able to explain in easy to understand terms why. If there was other options he gave them to me. I had talked to two other companies who were willing to do the job on a weekend without proper permits, one of those bids was for $6000.00 and the other $7000.00. Kevin came in at $4400.00. LEGALLY! Kevin is a certified installer, and I had no problem getting the permit or passing inspection. I found him to be honest and very hardworking (the guy never took a break). If you have any work to do on the exterior of your home call Kevin
- Thrifty RooterGreat! I'ved used them several times and have always been happy with the results. The prices are fair for the jobs they do.
- Roto-RooterI called on New Years Day and I feared that I would be hugely charged for a holiday rate. There was a reasonable extra charge for the holiday, but it seemed very fair. The worker (Gary, I think) came to my home in Durham and found a break and blockage in the connection in the pipe where it connects to the septic. The whole process took several hours to complete. I was very impressed with the thoroughness of the work. He came when he said he would and the cost was right in line with the quoted price
- APOLLO-DOMENIC'S SEPTIC SVCThe job went very well. Robert and his crew seemed to work well together and enjoy what they are doing. The equipment used for the job was appropriate, a backhoe for the deep excavation to the sewer and a smaller track mounted excavator to dig the trench to the house. Excavation in the winter can be pretty messy because the ground is so soft, but Domenic's minimized the mess. We were without a sewer connection for a couple of hours while the plumbing under the house was rerouted. We weren't satisfied with one aspect of the plumbing subcontractor's work, but Robert, at Domenic's got it corrected
- DOBRICH & SONS SEPTICI called for a quote on on 2/22. Steve went out that afternoon and told me that he needed to pump out some water because it was overflowing and he could not get to the pump. We had a huge rain storm come through on Wednesday so I really did not expect to have the job done for at least a week. Steve was back on Thursday and completed the job. I was very impressed with his responsiveness
- APOLLO-DOMENIC'S SEPTIC SVCProfessional, courteous, and seemed to know their stuff. They could have told me that I needed to pump the septic, and I wouldn't have known otherwise. Instead, they measured the levels, and told me we didn't need to pump the septic. That honesty saved me a lot of money, and I will definitely call them again next time I need this service
- CHICO SEPTIC SVCChico Septic was hired to do a plot map of my septic system for me and ended up saving me lots of money. Prior to putting a pool in our back yard, we needed a plot map in order to know how and where to avoid our septic tank and leach field. I had been working with another company (unnamed) but kept being put off as my job was smaller. I finally got fed up and called Chico Septic at the suggestion of a friend whom had already had a good experience with the company. I called explaining the dilemma I was in as the excavator wanted to start but needed the plot map in order to start. Chico Septic told me they could either do it the same day or on the Monday following. I jumped at the same day offer and they were out working within an hour. So the company's responsiveness was impressive to me. They did their job and actually worked with the diggers coordinating the excavation location. After collecting the needed information for the plot map they determined that my tank was desperately in need of being drained (or whatever verb it is they do!) Turns out had we gone on much longer in the current path our leach field would have been ruined. They drained the tank and covered up the holes they'd made allowing for the excavators to do their work. We're now enjoying our pool and in part, thank Chico Septic for their contribution
- APOLLO-DOMENIC'S SEPTIC SVCGreat. From the time I called for service everyone was courteous, professional and helpful. They fit my work into their already busy schedule when I told them what my problem was. They did not charge for inspection of my septic. The two men who came to do the work were friendly and answered all of my questions. They worked quickly and cleaned up when they were done. I would recommend Domenic's to anyone who needs, or thinks they need septic repairs
- Ground Work ConstructionEverything went well. He was very good about coming right back for issues that were presented. Their work was guarenteed. He even came out on Easter Sunday from about 45 minutes away because the alarm went off.
- Thrifty RooterVery impressed. Their office me back promptly (minutes) and set time for service. Jessie came on time and was friendly and very knowledgeable. He quickly went to work. Fixed my problem. Cleaned the work site. Gave me good advice to take care of my system. Felt like I hit the Easy Button.

"I am connected with Justin on LinkedIn, but hadn't worked with him. I searched my network first to see who I knew that may be able to help. Justin showed incredible integrity and willingness to help. One of my interview questions for hiring staff is "tell me about a time you went above and beyond for a customer?" I could tell Justin was cut from this mold, he just got in the trenches and started figuring out what happened. He engaged a colleague that had some specific knowledge of what was going on and got back to me right away. He is truly a partner with his clients. I have hired and interviewed hundreds of people over the years, engaged many 3rd party vendors for a variety of services, and I can say Justin is the type of consultant you want on your team.

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.
