Johnston Sanitation

Sewer Main Clearing, Septic System Installation and Replacement, Septic System Repair,

About us

Johnston Sanitation Service was started by Joe Johnston in 1974 when he realized the need for a reliable company to provide a necessary service for everyone living outside city limits owning a septic system or a vault. Joe worked closely with his father, Ivan Johnston, who owned Johnston Trenching. Together they installed leach fields and serviced septic tanks. In 1991, Joe moved to Enid, Oklahoma and one of his older brothers, Arlo Johnston, took on the responsibility of servicing those in need. Arlo grew the business even more over the next 20 years, servicing Loveland, Estes Park, and the areas surrounding. In August of 2010 Arlo’s oldest daughter, Marlo took over the business and allowed Arlo to retire to farming and wood carving. Today, the company continues in the family tradition of providing exemplary service to the Loveland/Front Range region.

Avoid at all costs. These folks are the most dishonest sanitation company in Colorado. We use them multiple times and didn't realize it was a problem until they added another 250 gallons to my tank. I asked them for proof they couldn't provide it. Now I'm in a very bad situation where I called in, advanced to make sure that the pump would be accurate as I'm selling my home and need a Boulder County transfer certificate.They are refusing to do the right thing and be honest so I am now filing formal complaints with Boulder County. I will also be building a website and sharing the exact details information and screenshots of the falsified receipts. If you need your septic pumped go elsewhere. Boulder County has been notified and will be investigating this business. The inspector herself, also cannot believe Johnston is behaving like this. All of this to make an extra 100 bucks, disgusting. Check out all the other negative reviews multiple showing that they just up the prices for no reason. Fortunately, in today's world you can't hide. I'll be sure to make sure that all of my neighbors, colleagues, friends, and others up here in the mountain towns know about Johnston sanitation.
