Recent Septic Tank Service Reviews in Watkins Glen
- BSM General Contracting, Inc.BSM Contracting was prompt and delivered all products and services as promised. Getting a quote from them for my next project now!
- DRAIN BRAINThe responded in a few hours and so I was able to avoid emergency fees. He solved the problem and did so professionally. A dirty job. Respect.
- Clean Earth Septic ServiceThis service provider is absolutely the best. Very professional, very quick and reliable. I have had him out a few times at the last house I sold and my new residence (for regular service and an emergency). He is absolutely great.
- Clean Earth Septic ServiceWe had our septic system pumped and cleaned. The Clean Earth team arrived 10 minutes early, were very kind even in a rain storm, and finished in 30 minutes. We had called other companies for estimates and were quoted more than $100 more than Clean Earth charged. We will call them again next time!
- Clean Earth Septic ServiceLevi returned my call in the evening, which I appreciated. He was prompt (actually a few minutes early), efficient and very polite. He suggested I close my garage door so that the "perfume" wouldn't waft in while they were pumping.
- Clean Earth Septic ServiceLevy Carling is a local guy providing prompt and professional service at a reasonable rate. He is smart enough to have already secured the permits for taking septic waste to a number of regional wastewater treatment plants. That's why he was able to come out and takeover the job that Drain Brain had started after the Ithaca plant shut down for a sudden week of repairs. He was out here early the next day and quickly pumped the tank, sent down the camera, and applied the power jet to clear the blockage. He also let me know my old cast iron pipe was either scaling up inside or starting to separate and I should get an excavator in soon to replace the pipe with modern PVC. And he kindly fixed the leaking toilet that Drain Brain had left behind the previous week. By the way, the Drain Brain tech who came out worked very hard and was polite and professional. Their fee was $200 but the problem wasn't fixed and he left my basement toilet leaking after taking it off in misdirected attempt to diagnose the problem (which was obviously with the outfall pipe from tank). My big complaint is with their office manager/receptionist who sounded exceptionally spacey on the phone every time I talked with her. They came on a Thursday and thought they fixed it, but we were backed up again by the next evening. I called them on Monday and they promised to come on Tuesday. Waited all day at home and finally called them at 4:30. She said, "oh yeah, I remember talking to you" and then lets me know that the Ithaca plant shut down and they wouldn't be able to come out for a week! I was a customer with a blocked septic system unable to let water go down my drains and she doesn't even bother to call me. The Drain Brain owner should either give her intense training and supervision or replace her
- Clean Earth Septic ServiceI called Levi on a Saturday because we were down to 1 toilet for 6 people. The downstairs toilet had suddenly started gurgling on Thursday night. Internet research said it was a clog, so I called Roto Rooter Friday morning. To their credit, they came out that afternoon, but did not locate the clog. After removing the toilet and digging up the septic, they told my sons that there was no clog, but the septic tank was full. So I called Levi Saturday morning, DURING the Electra snow storm. He arrived at our house in Trumansburg (from Newfield) in 90 minutes, dug up 2 additional spots, found the clog (yes, there was a clog), pumped the tank, and only charged us $200
- BREWERS SEPTIC & PORTABLEThey are here whenever I need them. If I don't have the money at the time they told me to wait they would send me a bill that I can pay later. You really don't find too many companies that will do that for you now a days. I would give them A's across the board. I really like the customer service they provide and will continue to use them in the future
- SHEESLEY'S SEWER SVC INCSheesley's Sewer Service provided prompt and professional service. Our 1,000 gallon septic tank was pumped for $235. And there was a $15 truck charge. We would use them again.
- DRAIN BRAINThey identified the sewer problem and fixed it. They also checked my septic tank. I called my septic service and they came right out.

"We just finished a big project, big for us, and couldn't be happier with the workers. Dave has been a great help clarifying an issue and the foreman Steve has kept up up to date with every move they are making. The workers Joey and Tony were polite and did all they could to keep the dust and dirt to a minimum. That was a tough job working in a crawl space and having to enter and exit the house in the snow and bad weather. Other craftsmen (that's all I can call them, they were so in tuned to what they were doing) came in during the week to lend a hand, and they too were top notch. I will say, I am sure not everyone wouldn't mind the dirt tracked through the house, but they made every effort to clean up the last crumb. Thirty years ago Woodford Bros. added a large addition to our house and couldn't think of any other company that we would think of using. We are happy to refer Woodford Bros to anyone!

"I dealt with Natalie setting up the move. She was both professional and friendly. I told her my needs and she worked with me. My contact with her was always pleasant and she was helpful. Natalie made sure everything was what I wanted and more importantly needed. Josh handled the entire move. He is very professional, friendly and excellent at his job. Josh displayed a caring and compassion in handling our items being moved. He took care of our things like they were his own. Some items had to be boxed by him because of their odd sizes/shapes. Josh and the gentleman helping him took care in wrapping the items and making boxes for the items to fit. They did it with such ease we couldn't help but be in awe and knew we had made the correct choice in hiring Delta Van Lines. Any anxiety we had about the move was calmed by watching how they handled our items. When our items arrived in DC, Josh displayed the same caring, friendliness and professionalism that he had shown in Florida. Although it was a different person helping him, the same can be said about how our items were handled. She too was friendly, caring and professional. Everything arrived exactly when Josh said it would. Nothing was missing and it all arrived in perfect condition. The items that needed to be put back together (floor lamps, etc.) were unpacked by Josh and he handled it with ease. I recommend Josh and Natalie at Delta Van Lines. They both turned what could have been an extremely stressful event into one of trust and confidence. I would definitely hire them again and have already told a few friends about them. I can't stress enough how wonderful Josh was during this entire experience. I am so grateful how he conducted himself and took care of our items like they were his own. I would give him a 5 out of 5 star rating!

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.
