Judge's Sanitation & Excavating

Very professional and polite.

I was very happy that they were able to fix my problem for minimal expense and they also did some free work on my lift station check valve. Judge and his men are a pleasure to work with, very experienced and oriented toward saving the customer expense and future problems.

Owner came out with a couple guys and figured out why I had water pouring out of my pipes in my basement. They discovered a hidden septic tank. I had the obvious one emptied when I moved into my house. The previous owners didn't live here long so they may not have known about it either. As soon as they emptied it the water stopped pouring out. Thanks for everything.

We called Judge's to empty our septic tank, and because I thought a problem we were having with our toilets might possibly be related to the septic tank. Kenny and his partner (sorry I never got his name) came out right on time (when promised) and emptied the tank. While they did that, I asked lots of questions and Kenny was very patient with me, answering all of them until I understood them! He said he thought the problem I was describing with the toilets was very likely a clogged drain pipe (leading to the septic tank), and after a couple of simple tests (flushing the toilets, basically), it became very obvious there was a blocked pipe. Since it was a holiday week (Thanksgiving), they were very busy, but when I asked them if they could return the next day to clear the blockage, they moved their schedule around and agreed to come back. The following day they cleared the blockage and installed risers on the septic tank and the distribution box. I'm not sure what all of that should have cost, but $860 seemed fair to me. Both men were very professional, patient, and conscientious while they worked. I was quite impressed!

Tech was knowledgable and quick. Helped us avoid a larger issue with our system.

Jim Farley and his co-worker were extremely quick, helpful and professional. They inspected the entire system and gave me some tips for future use. They set us up with a service plan and even said that if they come out and service is not needed they will not charge us but will come back in another year. We called yesterday and they were here before 11AM today. They called ahead to see if the time was good. I am very happy we called Judge's and they have great team members.

I've actually had Judge out to give me a bid on excavating my septic tank cover. A previous septic tank servicer came and told me my septic tank lid was buried approximately 3 feet under ground and would need a riser installed to bring the septic tank cover to ground level. Judge came out and found the septic tank lid buried about 3 inches in a nearby flower bed! I thought I would have to spend about $3000 for excavation services but Judge saved me that money by finding the cover. He then sent out two technicians who provided exemplary service. They emptied the septic tank and found a problem in my lift pump and fixed it. Judge and his technicians were professional, prompt and knowledgable. Thank you Judge's Septic Service! I will recommend you and use your services going forward.

Jeremy pumped out our tank and checked the system. Everything was fine.

Drained septic.

The guys from Judge's were great!
They arrived a few minutes early and were careful about bringing their big truck onto our concrete driveway.  Even though I said it was okay, they preferred to leave it on the pavement.
We are rookies to septic systems, so I had dozens of questions.  The 2 guys were very friendly and answered every single one of them, with detail and in layman's terms.   There were no surprises or guessing.
Suggestions were made on what we could do to streamline our septic system and keep it running optimally.  
They left everything looking exactly as it had when they showed up.  Zero mess.
Whole process took about a hour (even with all my questions).
I wrote a check for the exact amount I was quoted on the phone.  No extra fees or anything like that.
We will definitely be calling them again!

This is the first property I have owned with a septic system.  I just moved to the Sunbury area in February and was under the impression that the system was in good shape. 
 I had the house inspected before I purchased the property and nothing was mentioned about the system other than it had been pumped in 2009. 
Because I was unfamiliar with the care and maintenance of septic systems and all the horror stories I heard about them, I decided to have the system inspected by a professional whose business was septic systems.
This decision was smart on my part because the tank was full, needed cleaning, and the distribution box was in bad shape. 
If I had not had Judges personnel out I would have had major problems with my septic systems distribution system in six months that would have cost many thousands of dollars more than the money I did spend.
In addition to putting my system in excellent shape I also received an education and the care and maintenance of septic systems

smooth, without any problems

Judge was amazing.  After a month of sewage backup in the house and repeated efforts with other plumbers we found Judge.  He came to the house, gave us a free estimate because the situation was so bad and he couldn't help us that day due to the weather.  He came back Christmas Eve morning, pumped our septic tank and told us how to fix the problem.  I highly recommend his services and will use him every year!

We got a quote and decided to go with them after they told us they could
be out in a week. I called at the end of the week when I hadn't heard
anything, and they let us know it would now be pushed to a week and a
half. They called us the next week and said that the head of the Health
department had been out sick all week so they couldn't get a permit and
needed to push it back yet another week. I called the Health department
and found out the head had been at a conference for only two days and
would be back the next day, so they lied to us about that. The next week
it rained, so they canceled again because we had a large hill they
needed to go down to get to the tank site. The person who quoted said we
had a large hill, but it should not be a problem - this was the first
we realized it would indeed be a problem. The next week they showed up,
the owner decided that the hill was too large for them to go down (after
three weeks, he'd never bothered to come out and look, though we'd been
promised he would) and they canceled, saying they needed the tank
delivery company to say they didn't mind delivering down the hill. I
called all week, as they had stopped calling me, to see what was being
done. Finally the next week (after about 4 1/2 weeks total) they brought in some heavier equipment,
scooped a drive out behind our house and put the tank in. They covered
the drive over, but there are rocks everywhere and it is so uneven we
will probably have to hire someone in the spring to smooth it out to
even try to mow back there. They attempted to charge $2,500 more because of the heavier equipment and putting in a temporary road, and dropped it to $1500 when my husband complained. The stress of them
constantly canceling, then implying they may not even be able to do the
job at all, was pure misery for us. I believe that they did a good job, once they actually worked on the tank and put it in and hope we have no problems as we never want to have to call that number again! Our yard is a rutted mess, but it probably would be that way no matter who we hired.

It was a good experience.

I called to have the septic emptied and was impressed by their professionalism.  I feel sorry for the guy who came out due to having a thousand questions however he took the time and answered every one.  I would call them again without hesitation if I needed any further work or service preformed.

Judge stopped by immediately after I called to ensure I wasn't in a bind. Later, when they did the work on my aerator, Judge and his team replaced two collapsed lines, created two new access ports, replaced the inspection box, removed the invading tree roots from the system, and pumped out the tank. My only complaint is that the price seemed a bit high, but they did good work.

Called to request service on Monday.  Job scheduled for Wednesday morning.  Two service technicians arrived at 11:30am and cleaned out our 2000 gallon septic tank.  Job was completed in approximately 30 minutes.

They showed up promptly after being called at the time they said they would.
Found out what the problem was and corrected it.
Checked over the rest of the system and made recommendations.
Additional work was needed that required some parts.
I approved the start of the work needed.
They finished the work later that day for the price I was quoted.
I would/will use them again.
