was eager to help me. We agreed on a time and date within moments.
As agreed I was given a call by the driver about 30 minutes
out. He arrived as expected, introduced himself with a smile and quickly went
to work finding my septic tank. I had a general idea where it was; he probed
the soil and found the key components within a few minutes without damage to my
lawn.
After opening the tank he went on and gave me some tips on
maintaining the septic system while he worked. The job was done thoroughly, efficiently
and at the quoted price.
I decided to give J L BISHOP a chance based on the ratings
and comments here on A.L. and was certainly not disappointed.
Overall this was a very pleasant experience during a very unpleasant
job.
Thank you to J L BISHOP for being a standup contractor. I
highly recommend them to any and all for this type of work.
Thursday morning at 7:50am the driver called to let me know he was on his way and was about 10 minutes out. Right at 8am Matt from J.L. Bishop arrived. I was nervous because I had installed a new patio in the back of my house with brick retaining walls and crushed rock all compacted down. And being in the house only a couple years, I didn't know exactly where the septic tank was located. I explained this to Matt as he started to look for the tank. I showed him where the risers were in the yard, and on his first probe, he hit the tank. A few more probes, and he located where to start digging. He quickly hit the tank and found the cover on his first try. All during this process, I was standing there asking him questions, and he very politely and thoroughly answered all my questions.
As he was pumping out the tank, he explained about the health of the tank and what it should look like if it is healthy or not. He explained that my tank looked healthy and everything was working as it should. Matt is an excellent representative of J.L. Bishop.
By 9am he was packed up, the hole refilled, payment made and receipt received. Matt was on to his next job and I was off to work. It couldn't have been more painless. And the best part of the whole process? My new patio missed my septic tank by about 3 feet! Perfect placement.
Only issue is to follow up with paperwork with your county health department - my 5 year paperwork was not sent in (or lost in county). I received a letter almost 4 years later asking why I had not pumped my tank for my 5 year anniversart - I provided them with the receipt and the county was happy. This time I sent in the paperwork on my own.
They were recommended to us by someone. They were timely and they took care of the problem quickly. They didn?t mess up the yard too badly. They brought everything back together after they put the tanks together. They put the covers back over the top. I think the price was okay and seems to be the going rate. They took a while to get here.
