I have been a customer of Fogle Septic for the past seven years. I have used them for multiple properties. My most recent experience was with the owner on a weekend. He charged me an excessive amount of money for a service that they were supposed to complete the day before which I paid for. When I had a conversation with the owner on the phone he became irate and started this long rant of screaming and cursing at me. He used more than ten curse words back to back trying to convince me that he did me a favor by sending someone out for a weekend call. I feel very strongly that there was racial discrimination towards me. Who curses at someone when they did not do what they were supposed to do in the first place? On the weekends he only takes cash and they do not give receipts. I warn everyone to beware of this questionable ‘cash only’ weekend business practice. He is a despicable person and should not be serving the public. On the other hand, the people that work for him are very nice but the owner is a nasty person. He needs to realize that people have choices and Fogle Septic will never be a choice of mine again.  <

So my sister had a problem with septic tank they sent her a quote on how much it would be but she never gave a them day or scheduled the work too do the work so the RUDE POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE heather was confrontational aggressive rude refused to answer her question on who told them too come out and do the work today several times and got rude and arrogant Tried to say she called on the 20th and got the okay for today but she never called my sister to set it up on the 20th she checked her call log after being caught in her lie she’s became aggressive and threaten to have the crew just fill in the hole and leave multiple times. even thought the only problem was trying to figure out why heather schedule the work with out tell the home owner not the she didn’t want to have it done just wanted to know who schedule it which my sister said multiple times that’s not why she was call but again the POOR RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE heather was being totally unprofessional.

Awful. Didn't pump from the proper access but I didn't know that until later. Noted clog on the form left. Ended up with a back up into my yard because they didn't pump it properly. Came out to take a look and left me with a mess in the yard. Also, started digging things up without my knowledge or consent after leaving me with a clogged septic.

We were pleased. This was our 1st pump out. We bought this house 2 yrs ago, and at the time we had our offer accepted, no other company would make themselves available in time for an inspection. They were thorough & informative then, found serious work the sellers needed to do..., reevaluated it after seller's work was completed etc. We were thankful then. Fast forward to today. Online I found companies with better ratings & slightly better prices, but we felt a certain loyalty to Fogle's for all that help 2 years ago. We were pleased today, too. They made an appointment, had our records on file from 2 years ago. Noone needed to be home. They left a very detailed report & receipt so we have a record of the condition of everything when they pumped out. Hope I don't need them for another 2 years, but when the time comes, I will choose to call on them first again. Some other reviewers complained about the manner of the person on the phone. I had no problem with her at all. Needless to say, I wasn't looking for small talk or someone to ask about my day. I'm calling to schedule waste removal from a septic tank. She did what I asked & explained the cost & timeline matter of factly. I have no hesitation in recommending Fogle's to anyone.

First time I used this company. I was referred to this company by another company I generally use but which no longer handles septic line repairs. Extremely professional and courteous staff from the moment they answered my call to finishing the job. Very competitive quote to do the job and the final price matched the quote. Prompt and followed through on everything they said. Excellent repair.

We were able to schedule Fogle's about 1-1/2 weeks from the date we called. They arrived on the scheduled date (although rather late in the day). This septic tank pump out service had not been done for over 9 years. Everything worked out okay. They recommended doing this again in 4 years. Of the $185 standard charge, Howard County gave us a $100 rebate as part of the clean water program. We used Fogle's based on the Angie's List rating and because they are close to our house.

Kudos for honesty!! After examining the tank, technician said it wasn't full and advised against pumping. I took his advice and there was no charge for the visit. Saved $250 Fogle's is the best.

Dealing with Fogle's has been an absolutely horrible experience. I recently purchased a house with a brand new septic system that Fogle's had put in. Within six weeks of owning the house we realized only a quarter of the homes plumbing was connected to the new septic. The rest was connected to an illegal gray water system. In addition to this, when doing work, Fogle's crushed an exterior pipe for a storm water drain which caused our basement to flood. Fogle's refused to fix the crushed pipe, and refused to take responsibility for installing a septic that does not service the majority of the house. The home is older and was on a cesspool. Both of these should have been red flags that a gray water system existed. In addition, the ladies in the office are extremely rude. I have never been yelled at as a customer until now. The owner is unhelpful and refused to speak to me politely. All of these repairs are costing me upwards of $10,000. If you want to be spoken to rudely, and want the minimal amount of acceptable work done, call Fogle's. Otherwise call another company.

They promised to show up by mid-afternoon, but they had several emergencies that delayed them until nearly 7 o'clock in the evening. He was prepared to empty the tank, but after exploring the lines from the house he decided it was a blockage in a pipe, likely caused by tree roots. He vacuumed it out as best he could, saying that it might clog up again. In that case, make sure I request someone with an electric snake to grind up the roots. This all made sense to me, and I was glad he had the insights and could explain them to me.
