Recent Septic Tank Service Reviews in Jeffersonville
- Greenwell PlumbingThey replaced the main sewer line to the house from the septic tank and installed a riser so they could locate the main cover to the septic tank. They are very good and very fair priced.
- Duncan Septic ServiceDanny was excellent to deal with and his business approach second to none. Very fair pricing, he did everything he said he would do when he said he would do it. He's very knowledgeable about his business and he gives advise to eliminate potential problems down the road. If you ever have issues from a septic tank standpoint he is the man for the job
- R & R Septic ServiceThe young man, who is the owners son, took time to explain how our system worked, what we should do to keep it clean, and did not try to sell us anything else. I was very pleased with their service and would hire them again. I highly recommend this family owned business to anyone looking for someone to assist with septic problems
- Zaring Septic & Drain Service, Inc.We sold that house and the people who bought it had a septic evaluation. They wanted about $6000 to do some modifications to the septic system. They wanted us to pay for it. We paid Zaring to come out and review everything that they had quoted and have them re quote it. We paid them to do it and it was a very good experience. They quoted $2400 versus $5900 for the same work. We are closing next week and we are giving them the allotment so that they can have the work done. They just came out and quoted what it would cost to get done. We did pay them to come out, they charge a service trip. He came out that day and gave a quote that day. I was very happy. I would use them again. I have used them before
- Zaring Septic & Drain Service, Inc.I recently bought a new home with a septic tank. According to an inspection conducted by the seller, it needed to be pumped. I had contacted another company to do the work, and they didn't show up for two different appointments. I was relieved when I called Zaring that the person who answered the phone was very nice and quickly scheduled an appointment. The Zaring representative who came to our home was right on time and very friendly. Since I had never owned a property with a septic tank, I asked a lot of questions. He explained in detail how septic tanks work and how to care for them properly. The job was done in about two hours. I was very satisfied with the service and price. I will definitely call Zaring again for septic service
- Jay's PlumbingMy experience with them was excellent. They came in and did what they were supposed to do. They were courteous. I would recommend them to others. They came over at the last minute without an appointment; they came within an hour of me calling them. They snaked it out and got it all cleared out because there were trash bags all down in the septic tank. Everything is working fine. I thought I was going to get a bill of over $300 but I got a bill of $189. They have done a job for me before where I had a pipe burst in the concrete floor in this apartment that I had just remodeled. They told me if I wanted them to get to it quickly they could burst up the bathroom floor and go ahead and fix the pipe right where it was leaking under the floor or they could build a tunnel up under the floor from another hole to the bathroom and fix the hole without tearing up my bathroom. I asked them which one they would do and they said they would build a tunnel, so they built a tunnel, fixed the hole and then put some concrete back. They wrapped the carpet up in plastic so that it wouldn't get dirty. Their price was fair. I paid about $1700 for the concrete work and I watched them do the work. They had to take buckets and buckets of water out of that hole to fix that pipe. It was cold and they were wet and they worked for hours. I had already told them that I thought that I would end up paying them almost $2000 and I was close. They didn't charge as much as I thought they would. They were responsive and punctual. I would definitely use them again in the future
- Duncan Septic ServiceDanny kept in touch with me to determine the best day to come out in regards to weather, and showed up on time. He was professional and personable, and even though my septic tank was not in a convenient spot for the truck, nor readily accessible, he made it work. He offered advice about keeping the septic clean. I highly recommend Duncan Septic
- R & R Septic ServiceI called Rand R on a Tuesday to get my tank pumped since it was overflowing. They set the appointment for 5:30pm on Thursday. I didn't hear from anyone, so I thought they were not going to show up. About 7:30 and night they arrived to pump the tank. I was worried being dark and late they would rush and not do a good job. Even though they arrived late they took the time to clean my filters, check the pump opperatin and explain how the system works and what to do to help maintain it. I was qouted 1 price on the phone and when they arrived said I have a 1000 gal tank not 500 gal as I was qouted for and it would be an additional $100 if I wanted it all pumped. I don't know how large my tank is so hopefully they were being truthfull with me. I wish they would have asked me on the phone how many covers I had so they could have qouted the correct price over the phone. I would think given the size of my house and number of covers they were truthfull and I would recommend using them
- Zaring Septic & Drain Service, Inc.We purchased an older home which needed a new septic system. David and his staff installed the new system in a timely and professional manner. Due to the historically high rainfall and flooding in the Lousiville area this spring, there were complications that our plumber tried to blame on the new septic system. David and his crew came out immediately to trouble shoot the situation. Long story short, the system was fine and the plumber was at fault for issues unrelated to the septic system. During the process of analyzing the situation, Dave was courteous and professional. He never tried to point the finger at anyone, but always stated that if the problem was due to the septic he would fix it- NO CHARGE! He was a pleasure to work with and his crew clearly take pride in doing a good job. Again due to the heavy rains we had, Zaring was unable to regrade the lawn right away, but promised to come out once the ground was dry. They were true to their word and called us to arrange a convenient time to come back before we even had a chance to call them! I can't imagine using anyone else if we ever need septic services in the future
- Duncan Septic ServiceDanny called that morning and was even a little early. He quickly got to work and the flushing toilets still didn't work and he had to snake the drain. Before I even got back out to the tank, he was already feeding the snake in. Apparently our kids had dumped some non-toilet stuff down the toilet which clogged up the drain about 20 feet in. It could be that we need another lateral line or two, but at least two weeks later, he seems to have fixed it

"The first home was in very good condition on the surface. Mary Anne performed a thorough inspection and walked us through it, explaining that all inspections find issues and those issues shouldn't prevent us from buying the house. She compared it to finding a spouse, if you knew everything about them from the start, you probably would have run away -- not necessarily a good thing. That said, this very pretty house had some structural issues we hadn't been aware of that involved us walking away from the house. Our second inspection likewise found issues, some of which we got fixed on a repair request, some we fixed after purchasing, and some we still haven't fixed. Mary Anne was always prompt, inspections were thorough, and she walked us through many questions in great detail and patience. She also walked us through questions on the phone we didn't think to ask at the time. As a first time homebuyer, I learned a lot from her. I would strongly recommend her whenever you want a thorough report. If you want a quick report, she's probably not the best.

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.
