Associates Septic Services has a lengthy contract to pump my septic every 3 years paid via my tax bill collected by the county. They pumped my system 9/2018 (my inspection report that goes to the county had no issues) and in less than a month the system was overflowing the tank lids. It was last pumped is 2015 and had no issues until they pumped it. I contacted Lance Petrasek the owner and informed him something must have happened during the pumping for the system to stop working. He said, "I did nothing wrong, good luck" . I pressed the issue and he threatened to report the system to the county.......after he had just given it a clean bill of health! I contact the taxing authority and they were no help, taking the side of the pumper because he 'knew him' and never had any other problems. Funny, because I discovered another homeowner had the same exact thing happen to their septic after pumping. I hired (at my expense) another septic company, they pumped it, discovered blockage in the line (which was fine for YEARS before Petrasek pumped it) and we cleared it. This all cost me hundreds of dollars when the system was working fine prior to Associates pumping! read more
