"Don Thomas is a true gem. I have had to use his services two times in the last few months. Both times was on a Saturday. Today I was experiencing a back up in septic system. Doing laundry and my toilet was bubbling up sludge. Yuck. I called him up and this weekend is a holiday weekend. He was with family. We agreed that he would come this coming week. He called me back and said he would come by to fix the immediate issue so that my family and I could wash clothes and dishes and take showers without worrying that we would be cleaning ourselves or our dishes or clothes in crap. We are so thankful for the thoughtfulness and the sacrifice from Don. The day went from shitty to giddy. Woohoo. Highly recommend"

FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED. 25 EMPLOYEES.

"The lack of integrity and quality of work was not what I expected from a company that has been around for so long. Work ethic and quality of work has greatly diminished over the years. We paid over $21,000 for electrical on a remodel and instead of replacing 40+ year old wiring, they just spliced parts of new wire to the old wire AND left most of the wiring hanging down on the ground. They also had cut the wire in several places and did not fix it until we called them. I would not recommend them or the contractors that use them (Pressnell Enterprises)"

We no longer support Angies List (AL)! Why? We were recently called by AL telling us that we had some complaints that we needed to address. When I called AL back about these, I was informed that no there wasn't any complaint but I needed to advertise with AL. I have entered 2 different complaints via the AL web site with out response. Just like my customers I choose who to do business with and based on this I choose NOT to do business with Angies List. Randy Anderson

"Great, I love it. Prompt service"

Septic tank cleanings or pump outs FAQs

Wastewater from your home from your showers, toilets, sink drains, and washing machines flows to your septic tank. When wastewater enters your septic tank, it divides into three parts sludge, water, and scum. Outlet and inlet pipe positions and baffles keep sludge and scum from leaving the tank. Wastewater, the effluent, moves down pipes to the drain field.

If a septic tank is not pumped, it can lead to serious issues. The accumulation of sludge and scum will eventually overflow into the drain field, causing blockages and system failure. Pipes may become clogged, leading to sewage backups in your home. Pumps can also break due to excessive buildup, and the drain field may become damaged, requiring costly repairs or replacement.

Signs that your septic tank needs to be pumped include unpleasant odors around your property, slow draining sinks and toilets, gurgling sounds in the plumbing, and sewage backups in your home. You may also notice standing water or damp spots near the septic tank or drain field. If you observe any of these signs, it's important to schedule a pumping promptly to prevent system failure.

Septic tank odors are typically caused by gases produced during the breakdown of organic waste in the tank. If these gases escape, it can indicate a problem such as a crack in the tank, a clogged drain field, or issues with the venting system. Odors can also result from overflows due to a full tank. Addressing septic tank odors promptly is important to prevent more serious issues.

You should pump your septic tank every three to five years, depending on factors like tank size and household size. Larger households generate more wastewater and may require more frequent pumping. For example, a family of four with a 1,000-gallon tank may need pumping every three years, while a smaller household with a larger tank might extend to five years. Regular maintenance ensures optimal system performance.
