I had never used McFarland before and they were by far the most professional group doing this work that I have used over 20 years. The fact that they were able to help out immediately by pumping the tank was wonderful. Their approach very professional . They also arranged to have the office call and schedule the replacement of the solids filter.
They called to let me know when they would arrive, just a few minutes later than scheduled time, to replace the solids filter. The work was not just to replace the solids filter, but to dig up and replace the line to the septic field as the filter had broken off outside of the septic tank. They dug up the old sewer pipe, which was thin and rotten with age replaced it with new PVC pipe, inspected the drainage field and installed the new filter. The crew, was very patient with my questions and did an outstanding job. I was concerned the old septic field was in bad shape, but they very happy with how it looked and did not try to sell me something I did not need!
I was very impressed with McFarland and they will be my go to company from now on.

We originally asked McFarland to offer a second bid on a recirculating sand filter. He said he wanted to verify that this was the problem, probed around the tank, and announced that the blockage was within a few feet of the septic tank. The probe came out wet right next to the tank, and dry a few feet further. Both the County and the other vendor had failed to notice this. As a result, a much cheaper repair did the trick.
They did the repair quickly, without digging up more than was needed, and resolved the problem. All in all, a class act.
"Thanks for the great review! We are glad we could help you figure out this problem and take care of the repair for you. Please don't hesitate to contact us in the future!"
Perhaps the only complaint would be that their pump-truck left a few oil spots on the driveway.
"Hey [Removed member name], We are happy to hear that you are pleased with our services. We look forward to working with you again! Our truck to the shop several times in attempt to fix the oil leak, but the problem seems to get worse each time. We do have a new truck coming in this month so that there won't be any more oil leaks. Thanks for the positive review!"
"We tried contacting [member name removed] and we did not receive a response. Our records indicate that we have performed work for him in 2007 and in 2010. The time frame that he is indicating was around the time that our secretary passed away here at the office, so it is possible that some information was misplaced. However, we have looked back through all of her notes and through all of our work orders and do not see a request for him. We try hard to please all of our customers. Unfortunately we do not show that we ever pumped his septic tank as he has indicated. Perhaps he has us mixed up with another company."
They found 25 feet of line which was stuffed with tree roots. They dug this all up and replaced it with solid pipe, and the flooded septic tank began to flow right away. Good news, since this means the rest of the field is OK for now.
One thing I really appreciated was all the good advice Buck gave me about keeping my system going. I need to add copper sulphate in March and again in August to keep all roots at bay, and have it pumped out every few years. Also, I needed to take out 2 more sweet gums which were in the field and would have now grown into the freshly unblocked septic lines. He was able to answer all my questions about how to take care of this system and also to patiently explain why, which is important to my (always inquiring) mind.
The best news is that, if I follow his advice, my system may well last another 30 - 40 years. I was relieved to have the problem solved. I'd heard stories of having to spend $1,000 to fix septic systems, so I was glad it cost me so much less than this.
