I was having a problem with my septic alarm going off. I tried to figure it out myself with the help of my neighbor and after a week caved in and called Arness. I have had them out there before for a pumping and was very pleased with the service and random advise. This service was more specialized since the system had to be inspected and troubled shot. I was extremely pleased with the professionalism and knowledge of the technician. While he was working he was nice enough to talk to me about my system and I learned things you cannot find other the internet. He never stood around and even ran from my control box to the sand filter when he had to go back and fourth. It turned out to be a pump in my sand filter and was changed the very next day. I found Arness to be helpful, kind and reliable. Very nice group of people and it should come as no surprise why they have been in business for so long.
Description of Work: I had to have a pump replaced for my sand filter.

Description of Work: We just bought the home and the septic was checked by Arness he said it needed new floaters and some other things..funny thing we were told it passed the code kits public health monitoring has set when we bought the home..anyway, he fixed the problem alright with the wrong cheap parts and did some creative wiring so 6 months later its not working..I called Bainbridge Island septic emptying service and they referred me to NW Septic operation and maintenance out of Silverdale, WA with who we are very happy with. They showed me the parts that Arness had placed in our system and showed me the crazy wiring he did...To make the story short I would never do business with Arness again...out of the $500.00's wasted money I paid him he gave me a refund of only 109.56...What a rip off! It cost me 875.00 to correct Arness's mess. Arenas does sloppy and poor workmanship...just to be warned he may charge a little less but beware...his work shows it too! I would like to put in a very good word for NW Septic operation and maintenance out of Silverdale, WA out system is working perfect now...

I was frustrated from dealing w another local company for over 6 weeks when I was recommended to try Arness. I am glad I did. Their front office staff was always kind, helpful and willing to schedule around my travel, work times. They arrived on day and time as promised and always spent time explaining their recommendations.
Description of Work: Inspected, diagnosed issue, repaired

Description of Work: They pumped my septic. During their initial visit they could not find the tank. The person spent most of the time at his truck or on the phone yet I still got charged $50 for that visit. The driver and I agreed I would find tank and get back to them. Once I did, they were right on it. There was a slight charge for extra slime but it had not been pumped in 9 years so I don't doubt this. They seemed very honest, hardworking folks. I would use them again.

Description of Work: The owner came out in person to see what the problems were and then advised me on the work that I could do myself to save money. The guys that came out knew what they were doing, didn't mind explaining it to me and then explained how to button things up, again saving money.

I have a tricky yard with a good deal of slope . With my neighbors's permission,Arness accessed my tank from my neighbor's driveway. They still had to use a longer hose, so it cost a bit more. I did not have to be here, and they billed me for the service. It was convenient.

The technician was extremely professional and really knew his way around our 3 holding tanks. He was able to easily get the lids off and then measured each one for liquids and solids and was able to tell us that we probably had another 5 years before they were going to be full, and only one of the three had measurable solids. He pumped the holding tanks and then drove up the hill to where the main septic tank is located and measured just a few inches of liquid and no solids. He explained that our system was designed to trap the solids in the holding tanks near the main house and pump the liquid up to the main septic tank. The main tank is directly connected to a garage with loft, but the loft had not been occupied for a couple of years and very little use of the bathroom in that time. He told us that it wasn't worth it to pump the main tank and it would be quite a few years before it would need pumping. He told us our system was in good working order and did not appear to have any leakages. Would definitely use them again. Have not yet received the bill, so I can't comment on the pricing at the moment.
Description of Work: They came out to inspect and pump our septic tank and holding tanks.
