Reviews

What Our Clients Are Saying

★★★★★
I was grateful for the prompt response of getting service same day I called. He checked it and saw that power was not working, that's why it was not pumping properly. He went to check all our breakers and resolved the problem right away. We asked him how much for the service and he said that since it was an easy fix and we didn't need to empty our tank, he did not charge us. I was so amazed at how honest this company was.

Called Mr. Jerry to pump and inspect our septic tank, he was fast and courteous. Showed up, pumped and inspected in less than two hours. Very nice to find courteous and honest people these days that do what they say they are going to do at a very reasonable price.

Called to get septic system pumped out and the lady who answered phone was very polite and set an appointment for me. Jerry came out this morning and handled it quickly. I am very happy with the service I received from the whole team.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How often should a septic tank be pumped?

Most households need pumping every 3 to 5 years. The right interval depends on tank size and how many people live in the home; see the chart on this page, or call and we'll recommend a schedule.

My septic alarm is going off. What should I do?

Cut back on water use and call us. An alarm usually means the pump chamber is high because a pump, float or breaker has failed. Many times it's a quick fix.

Do you install field drains in Louisiana?

No. Field drain installation is offered in Mississippi only. We provide all of our other services in both Mississippi and Louisiana.
