Recent Septic Tank Service Reviews in Everett
- Above Grade SepticAbove Grade is great. They are always timely and professional and provide a really high degree of expertise and crystal-clear explanations for the work they're doing. I'm always surprised by how quickly they've been able to track down the problem and fix it. I had bad experiences before I was referred to Above Grade, so now I'm really glad to have someone who I trust to do a great job
- Vac Tec Septic & Water Llc.We had been living in our home for 5 years and our septic was completely full! VacTec was easy to schedule with & the tech that came to the house was very knowledgeable. I not only use VacTec for my personal home but I also refer to my real estate clients & neighbors.
- Vac Tec Septic & Water Llc.Definitely recommend Vac-Tec septic!!! These guys are very professional, knowledgeable and efficient... not to mention so friendly and helpful! These guys will be my first and only call for any future issues!
- STUTH COMPANY INCSTUTH IS TRUSTWORTHY and HONEST. Stuth replaced pump, they had to come to my home twice to convince me the plummer I hired was WRONG when he said the sewer was the problem. Patient, genuine and honesty!! They actually have integrity!!
- All Around Septic & Construction LLCBrandon was professional, timely, and very knowledgeable in the septic field. I will most definitely hire him again to perform services for me.
- Bob Oates Sewer Rooter & Plumbing LLCThe septic tank all of a sudden failed and I was told that I needed to connect to the sewer. I called Above Grade Septic to get the quote, but they never contacted us back with the quote. After a few days of waiting, I had decided to pursue other contractors. Bob Oates Plumbing was the first one who contacted me back immediately - on the same day. Aaron, who is the PM, came out the next day to survey the site and explained to me what would take him to get me the quote. In couple of days (a bit earlier than what he anticipated) he came up with the quote and asked me if I want to go ahead. It was a bit more expensive than what I hoped it would cost, but given that my whole family was living with a portable toilet for 2 weeks and my family just went through the house restoration from the water damage for 4 months, and the reviews from Angie's List are top-notch, I decided to go ahead. The crew came out very early in the morning. The first thing they did was to walk me through the schedule. They were very professional and explained to me in detail that left me no question to ask. The basic work was done in 1.5 days - we were able to use the water! For the rest of the week, they went through the inspection with the city and finished the work. One thing I think they really stand out compared to other contracts I dealt with is that they communicate to their customers on the status. If there is a slight change to the schedule, they always call me in advance and let me know. I really loved that, especially after dealing with numerous contractors not only keeping the schedule but not tell me anything. Even though I think it was a bit expensive, I think it is well worth it and I am going to contact Bob Oates Plumbing if/when I have any need for the plumbing work in the future
- Bob Oates Sewer Rooter & Plumbing LLCTech arrived on time. was friendly and helpful. Fully explained the process. Wrote up a detailed report.
- Bob Oates Sewer Rooter & Plumbing LLCJeremy was great and professional when assessing our problem. He was able to guide us in the right direction even though his company did not do septic work. The only downfall was the 15 minute diagnosis rate was $117. I am totally fine paying for services but this seemed like a steep price for only 15 minutes. I would definitely use Bob Oates in the future if I have any other plumbing issue and hope maybe prices were a little more reasonable :
- All Around Septic & Construction LLCHe had to locate and inspect my system and upon inspection found an issue, immediately making me aware of the issue and gave a few options to go about repairing said issue. For fixing it, the repair was reasonable price and his professionalism is unmatched and He was very knowledgeable and explains things well so you know what’s going on and you’re up to speed through the process. On top of all that he answered all the questions had to ask and then some. Now we’re right as rain. Thank you!
- All Around Septic & Construction LLCVery knowledgeable and professional. Great pricing as well and I did shop around before committing to All Around Septic. I highly recommend them for any septic/ plumbing work that needs to be done. Glad to support this family owned business.

"Evergreen was one of three companies I called and, by far, the least expensive and most informative. I was disappointed that the company we usually use insisted on pumping the tanks just to do the inspection which was about $500 more (though, they were not the ones pumping them). Another company insisted that the county would require pumping as it had been over a year since they were last pumped which was completely false (they would have been pumping them themselves) and would have added substantially to the cost of the inspection. Our tanks are of the size that we should only need to pump them every 3-5 years at most and it had only been about 2.5 years. Evergreen inspected and found that there was absolutely no reason to pump them and that everything was fine. In addition their cost of inspection was lower than the others. I enthusiastically recommend them and would use them again in a heartbeat. A big kudos to them for being so straight-shooting and reasonably prices. Not only that, they were easy to schedule with which was greatly appreciated!

"Since we are in the wonderful King County, septic tanks have ridiculous requirements. Our house was built in 1964 and had a gravity system that lasted until 2018. Now needing a new system installed a pressure system is required. Totally different than a gravity system. The workers were very nice and helpful in answering questions as the installation went on. Completed the work as planned. Nothing weird popped up when digging and placing the new system. The company always communicated promptly and with enough detail that we could understand what was happening and when. Hopefully this new system will last just as long.

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.
