Just had septic tank emptied by Arnold's Septic . I will NEVER use them again. Before they came out I asked over and over what was the price, The lady in the office said to empty the tank was $450 for a regular size tank and $550 for an oversized tank. I confirmed that with a call back. Well when the driver shows up to my house ( I am not home ) he calls me and says you filter needs to be cleaned and that will be an extra $250. I told him I was having no problems and I just had the tank emptied 3 years ago. Mind you he was still in his truck when we had this conversation. I insisted I only wanted the tank drained. So When he finished he called and said he was done. I was 3 minutes from the house. He said he could not wait to be paid. I met him at the corner of the street and he said he was in a hurry and would call me for the payment. When I got home I found mounds of #^$* in the yard. He called for the payment and I asked why he felt the stuff on my grass and he said it leaked from the hoses. I have had tanks pumps before and never had to clean up a mess. NEVER AGAIN WILL I USE THIS COMPANY AS LONG AS THIS GUY IS SERVICING MY AREA. I have used Arnolds in the past with no problems. but it appears that if this guy couldn't make any extra money then he was going to do harm to my yard.

Purchased my home 2 years ago. Called to have an inspection done. Was encouraged to have it pumped also. Caleb and Alex arrived and located my Septic System. It's a 1,000 gallon tank and about 90% full. Didn't know that they would have to use a Backhoe to dig down to the Concrete Tank to gain access for pumping. As professional as these young men were I followed along with confidence. They told me what to expect ever step of the way. As they were almost finished they noticed a potential problem with the opening to the Drain Field. Both spent over an hour or more gaining access to the second opening on the far side from which they pumped. In the end they finished up and I offered a Tip of which Caleb refused. I assured him that I would write an Excellent Review. Not only would I hire them again, I'm also posting to my Subdivision's Community Page. Great job Caleb and Alex.

Communication - Excellent! Matthew was prompt and courteous in staying in touch regarding appointment time and arrival time. Price - Competitive and transparent. I asked for an "on the rim out the door" price with no last minute pitches for things that should be part of the service. Price was as quoted to pump, clean filter and inspect. I did opt for a bacterial additive that I was NOT pressured into purchasing. I just figured if it made any difference in keeping the drain field from having issues it was well worth it. Included three-year monthly additive supply. Quality of Work - extra careful to check for water line into the house, thorough in the pump out and carefully replaced the dirt and raked the area. Of course, I will need sod but that just goes with having a septic system pumped regardless of who does it. Friendliness - everyone in the crew was friendly and courteous, like they were your neighbor.

Called Arnold's when my tank started backing up into my house. They came out immediately and tried everything they could to save me money in the process of fixing a clogged leach field line. They fixed my issue and gave me a 2 year warranty on repairs; all the wall being super informative and professional. Will definitely hire again.

We used them many years ago and the system worked great. Recently with the wet summer we are having the system would no longer drain. We called and they came and redid the system again but the fix failed after a few days. We called again and they did return, did some digging and added pipe to the system but the problem was not solved. We called again but no one responded further. We really liked the company but with an elderly mom in the house, we had to call someone else. The problem has been solved now.

My husband and I contacted Arnold's Septic Tank Service after speaking with several septic tank repair companies. It was very comforting talking with his daughter, she reassured my husband and I they had our needs in mind. We told her we had gotten so many high prices for the repairs we needed. She gave us two prices, 1900.00 and 2900.00. My husband and I had very large smiles on our faces. We had already looked at Arnold's Septic Tank Service's great reviews on Angie's List, we knew they could do the job. My husband and I talked with Mr. Arnold, we found out he had over 40+ years of experience and wisdom to replace our septic tank field lines. Mr. Arnold dug down far enough to reach below the red clay to make our system work better. Needless to say we are a very happy couple and will refer Arnold's Septic Tank Service to everyone we know. Thank you Mr. Arnold! May GOD Bless You Richly For All That You Do For Your Customers!!!

Mr Bowen said that it was one of two things and if the lines were clogged with roots he would get it done for 1900.00 if a new drain needed 2900.00. He got R done for 1900.00 with a 2 year guarantee.

The options were clearly explained, and we selected one best suited to us. It was possible to perform the needed corrections on the spot. The work was done speedily and carefully. All-in-all, a very straightforward and confidence-building interaction. We highly recommend these professionals.
Description of Work: The very-thick lid of a long-abandoned septic tank was at some point dislodged, eventually leading to the formation of a sinkhole. The situation required correction.

Mr. Arnold installed large French drain instead of replacing septic system. Two year guarantee or money back. Works great. Saved us a bunch of money. Mr. Arnolds fix was $2800. Other company was going to charge us $12,000. We are happy customers!

Surprisingly better than anticipated. Once I heard that that the original seal was still intact and the septic had likely never been pumped, I started fearing the worst. While not having any known issues, we have all heard the horror stories of the system failing...and mine was 20 years in the making. In the end, in addition to the pumping, we only needed to replaced the baffle. It wasn't until later that I learned from my husband that we are outside of Arnold's service area...but they came anyways! Not only would I highly recommend these guys, we will be using them again in the future.
Description of Work: We moved into the house about 2-1/2 years ago and were under the impression that everything had been taken care of, so we decided to do regular maintenence and get our septic pumped. Lo and behold, our original impressions were wrong and it is very unlikely our septic had ever been pumped in the 20 years since it was installed! And to top it off, the previous owners had been flushing baby wipes!

The job went fantastically. The people at Arnold's are true professionals. They called ahead of time and gave me a heads-up that they were on their way, and arrived when scheduled. We discussed what I wanted done, and then they went at it. At every step of the way, they showed me their work and what was going on in the septic system. They gave me options as to what to do and how to do, with the associated cost estimates -- I never felt pressured to do anything, but felt strongly they fully and fairly explained the options open to me -- giving me the information needed to make a decision. They did their work quickly and cleaned up everything afterward. Having your septic tank cleaned out is not exactly what a homeowner wants to do -- but the folks at Arnold's made the process very very easy. I would use them again (and plan to in the future) and highly recommend them. Note the cost of service I show is for the septic tank clean out.
Description of Work: We needed our septic tank pumped out, and since it had been a while since we had this done, we also needed the septic system checked out.

Service was better than expected. I am new to owning a home with a septic tank but this process was painless. Jeremy called when he was on his way to the house. They showed up on time and finished faster than they originally said. Jeremy also explained how to care for the system without pushing me tot buy anything from their company which I appreciated.

These guys are the best. They had to dig for us- and were able to get to the pump, dig with as little mess as possible, and even while they had the job to do, helped uproot a tree so we could relocate it away from the septic.
