Excellent experience as usual. I have had their service since they started and will continue to do so.

Multiple miscommunications. Did not perform the work as agreed. Ultimately was over charged for the work. Will never use again and will not recommend.
Response from D F CLARK INC
"We responded to Mr. [Member Name Removed]'s emergency request in a timely manner and provided the services requested. He was not over charged for the work. We made 2 visits to his home and didn't charge for the second visit; we only charged for the disposal of his effluent fluids. He unfortunately does not understand how septic systems work and how a tank, although rated for one capacity, can hold much more."

No problems. Was advised to get it pumped closer to two years instead of 3. They showed up right on time. Were courteous and professional.

Septic tank hadn't been pumped in several years and there was an accumulation of sludge on the bottom. To remove the sludge, the tank was first pumped, then backflushed and pumped again to maximize solids removal. No issues, job was well done.

Bob arrived on time and located the tank cover in no time. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. He did a great job and we are very satisfied with the work. This is our first time to use service from DF Clark and definitely will continue to use their service in the future! BTW, they even kindly offer $15 off coupon for Angieslist members for the 1st time service. Cynthia, the office lady who picked up my phone, is also very nice and helpful! Thanks!

They were friendly and knowledgeable. They worked with the town hall to get the plans for my system so they knew what kind it was and where to dig. Gave me a helpful report of the system's health and maintenance schedule suggestions.

Pete did a clean and thorough job. He had constructive pointers about what to use and not use with a septic (e.g. don't use bleach, powdered detergent (clumps up and clogs septic screen), etc.). We used our first time customer angie's list coupon for $15 off first service.

Having just moved to the area and buying a fixer-upper, D F Clark was one of the most pleasant and professional companies completing work on my property. Even though the permit process was rigorous and the gunite pool was a challenge to break apart, all work and communication was above par. The demo method actually exceeded what was required by code. All employees and the owner, Dave were always pleasant, dependable and responsive. They also did my septic inspection. I was very impressed with the consumer information on their website. Very honest. No pumping was needed.

Very nice and knowledgeable. First time having to pump our tank at the new home, found these guys on Angie's List and was very happy with them. Will definitely use in the future.

An excellent experience.  The lady on the phone who made the appointment was very friendly and helpful.  Bob arrived close to the promised time.  I had already exposed the tank lid; Bob opened the tank, measured the scum and sludge, and advised us that pumping would not be required.  He made a visual inspection of the tank's internals and everything was fine, so he replaced the tank lid and that was it!
I've used DF Clark for many years now, and thay have always been a pleasure to work with.  Their operator, Bob, is a very friendly and knowledgeable individual, and is happy to offer advice and explanations on request.  Highly recommended.

We had DF Clarke out to do a septic Inspection. My wife & are new to a septic system & thought it wise to get inspected. Bob from DF Clarke came out & could not have been more helpful. My title 5 inspection did not have a location of the tank. Bob was able to locate it in a matter of minutes, removed the portals & gave a very detailed & helpful description of our septic system. Would highly recommend DF Clarke to anyone. They also were able to come out two days after I called which was great.

We had had a Title 5 inspection done by D.F. Clark the day before and the person doing the inspection mentioned that we were due for a septic pump-out at some point in the not too distant future.  As some major construction would be started on our home the following week, we were interested in having the septic work done beforehand.  In spite of such short notice and a full schedule otherwise, the scheduler was able to fit us in the next day!
Bob arrived with the septic truck as scheduled.  He was so pleasant - and very professional.  He went about his work quickly and quietly, and left little trace that he had ever dug up any portion of our yard.
I can't imagine any company providing better, more professional service of this kind.  I would highly recommend D.F. Clark for any such work!
