Extremely quick and courteous service. We needed the septic pumped and a tank inspection as part of the overall inspection for an older home we are buying. Jason was very thorough in explaining the current conditions of the tank, as well as what we need to keep an eye out for going forward. I would absolutely hire Eldred & Sons again for regular maintenance and if any problems arise.

Showed up on time. Performed the job without any high pressure added services. Inspected drain field and gave good information on upkeep and preventive damage maintenance. Left service (worksite) area clean.

I have dealt with many septic companies in Livingston County and this is the first time I've hired Eldred to do work for me. They are far beyond the rest in the quality of work that they do. They don't take shortcuts and they know exactly what they are doing. They explain everything to you. I would hire this company to replace, repair or pump my septic and feel confident the work will be done right.

Appointment was made and they followed up with a confirmation the day of.  I was supposed to dig up my access covers, however, I couldn't find them after digging around my yard for an hour the day before.  They added a very fair extra charge to find and dig them out. 

I appreciate the professionalism and good service...and will use them again in the future!

Response from Eldred & Sons
"Thanks so much for the glowing review! I just wish it had been us that had performed this service for you. We are not a furniture moving company. We are an excavating company, dealing primarily with septic systems. So, if we can help you out with that we would be glad to do so."

I have a septic that has a pump in it that I was having problems with and also needed the tank pumped. They diagnosed the problem as electrical in my alarm system and advised me that I needed to get an electrician. They also pumped my 1000 gallon septic and did all this for 250.00 which I thought was more than reasonable. There is not enough room on this section to say how fantastic they were.

Tank truck shows up, a guy pulls the lid (I dug down to the lid opening).  Two guys handle the hose and truck controls. Done: finished.
They suggested I have a 'riser' installed to give me a surface access point for next time.  I told them OK and for $99 they did that.  Well worth it I figured.

we had a clogged up pipe.   We thought problem was septic issues, but was not----it was a pluming issue .
Wayne & Richard came over and did the work, explain the issues, and very honest about things.   I felt like I was talking to one of the family members..
I will defiantly use them again!   Pay a good amount once, its worth it :-)
Thank you,

Excellent experience from start to finish. My initial call was received by a courteous agent. The crew was on time and acted very professionally. The work was done well including how the tank was accessed (ground cleared), the actual cleaning and the work site cleaned up. The technicians were really helpful with recommendations on best way to maintain the entire system.

Very professional service, but it cost $100 more than the last company I used to drain my septic tank.

Response from Eldred & Sons
"My grandfather used to tell me "You can't be all things to all people". I guess he was right. We are a lot of things, like knowledgeable and professional. One thing we are not, though, is the cheapest price in town. Perhaps part of the sticker shock was the change in the way we dispose of the septage. No longer can septic companies in our area use the old farmers field the way we used to. We now have to go to a septic treatment plant, or recieving station, and pay 7.75 cents a gallon for disposal. Maybe that's not it at all. I couldn't find where we had done the service for you on the given date in my records. If you give me the address we did the work at i'd be more than happy to look into why we were more expensive than your last cleaner."

These guys are fantastic!  Recently purchased a home in Brighton and called to have the septic tank pumped.  Along with that, I needed to have a cistern pumped out.  I called Eldred & Sons mid-morning and they were able to come out that afternoon.  Nice guys, obviously very experienced. I literally just closed on the house a couple days ago and, to be honest, did not even know where the tank was.  The "as built" diagrams on file were, to say the least, vague; they referenced a building that was no longer on the property and, of course, were not in any way to scale.  The two gentleman poked and prodded for a long time, but could not find it.  It was not, I assure you, from lack of trying.  They called out the owner ("he's never NOT been able to find a tank") and left to do another job, promising to come back; no problem for me, I was going to be at the home all afternoon.  Owner came out a bit later, and the 2 original guys came back, and eventually they found and dug up the tank.  They pumped it out, then turned their attention to the old cistern on the property.  They quickly dispatched with that. Given the fact that they had to go "in search of" the tank, dig it up, and do the cistern, I thought the price was very fair.  They were very courteous, explained what they were doing, gave me some tips of maintaining a well functioning system and were all around good guys.  
I would not hesitate recommending Eldred & Sons!  Thanks guys, I really appreciate the quick, complete, and courteous service!
