    What Sean Bennett did to us wasn't right. We put in new leach lines less than 2 years ago, and they are failing. When I asked why, I was never given an answer. I spoke with Brandi (who was extremely rude), and she had no answer. I was told me to speak with the owner, Sean. When I asked Sean why they failed after less than 2 years, he had no answer other than there's major saturation. He said a broken water main or natural spring under my ground. I asked if I would be able to see this "saturation", on my property, if theres so much, wouldn't my groud be viable? he was beyond rude and told me I sounded like I was the professional and had all the answers. I called out the water company and 2 other septic professionals, and all 3 agreed there are no natural spring or water leaks on my property. All 3 professionals agreed that what Sean was doing to us wasn't right. I had Mick Hill fix the job. He assured me his work is guaranteed, and there was no saturation. Save your money and book with Mick! See photos of our "extremely saturated site"

    Before

    Just wanted to give a HUGE shout out to Bennett Excavation. They are absolutely amazing. Due to all the June gloom and it not being warm enough most weekdays it took a lot longer to get this project finished. Sean was in constant contact with me through his fabulous receptionist. Making sure I knew I was not forgotten in all the fog. Thank you Bennett brothers for all your hard work.

    Horrible Experience! I do not like leaving bad reviews but I have to warn local residents in the San Bernardino Mountains. I choose this company because they had a good reputation and Bennett Senior did good work and was ethical. Not his son Sean, at least not with us. I had a simple job done to have my driveway widened and re-asphalted, plus a wall built between the driveway and the street. First off, he made me source the blocks for the wall. I emailed him the specifications with the link to webpage with the block type to make sure I was buying the correct ones. He confirmed via email 2 times that yes - those were the correct blocks. Then the wrong blocks were delivered and I was charged a large restocking fee by Sepulveda in San Bernardino. Why is he having his clients source his materials to begin with? I should have found a different company to do the job afterwards, but I didn't. Next they did a horrible job on my driveway and told us that we had to resurface it ourselves, which we did within the correct timeframe. The driveway quickly began falling apart and melting from the weight from a chair or a light weight item, leaving large dents, cracks and potholes - which we filled ourselves. He wouldn't fix the driveway which was falling apart after one season. He said that it was normal wear and tear! Since then, I've had other contractors look at the driveway and they explained that Bennett must have used cheap material and he did a poor job compacting it from the start. Next, after two winters, our wall is falling down. Sean refused to fix the wall and add some dirt to reinforce it (which he should have done to begin with). He made it sound as if we pushed the blocks over ourselves, when in fact it is our heavy winters that are a factor plus to poor construction job. Overall, I would absolutely not recommend Sean Bennett. It seams he viewed us as a quick money job and he would not stand by his work. If you do work with him make sure the project is permitted so you have a 3rd party review his plans. What we have is a deteriorating driveway and wall that is falling apart after spending $4,200, plus the expensive blocks, plus a $600 + restocking fee. Very disappointing!

    Miguel at High Desert Septic saved the day! It was just…read morebefore Thanksgiving, most of the companies I called went straight to voicemail, noting they would not return until after the holiday. For a few others, I completed online request forms explaining exactly what I needed. As a real estate broker working under a strict deadline, I needed timely responses--especially since this property had two septic tanks that required certification. When an inspection was finally scheduled, one tank passed, and the other needed to be replaced. Although the field technician was fine, the office staff at that particular company seemed distracted and short--they weren't rude, but they clearly didn't have the time or patience to help me get the information I needed. As someone representing my client, I need a contractor who is responsive, professional, and efficient, and I realized I couldn't move forward with a team that made communication difficult. Fortunately, I then reached High Desert Septic. Miguel answered my call and from the very first conversation, he was pleasant, knowledgeable, and ready to help. I spoke with him on a Friday--by Monday, he had the permits, and by Tuesday, all the work was completed. He kept me informed and even sent photos without me having to ask. It was an absolutely refreshing experience. Miguel truly stands out in his industry. His professionalism, efficiency, and pride in his work deserve ten stars. I highly recommend High Desert Septic. Thank you, Miguel Trinidad.

He made it clear he wouldn't touch pavers. He scheduled me in same week, had the septic pumped and certified without touching a single paver. Miguel is knowledgeable, knows what he is DOING- extremely professional, and affordable. Highly recommend Miguel for Septic pumps and certifications. Thank you again for your diligence. He saved me from an expensive experience, that would have ended in a nightmare. Trust someone who knows what they're doing, not someone who will damage your property, make a mess, and make it more expensive to repair at the end.

Sam, however, took my call while on another job, actually called me right back when he was able to write down my information, and was at my home within just a couple hours. This was extremely comforting since we had a complete main sewer blockage -- the details of which aren't pretty and better left to your imagination! I knew immediately when talking to Sam on the phone that I had found the right person. He knew exactly what to expect with our home's age. He was able to go up on our roof and use the access there to unclog the line. The entire house had been backed up; the entire house breathed a sigh of relief (and we could breathe again, as well!) All of this was done for less than the price of a reasonable hotel room...to get us to where we'd actually have toilets and showers again. Sam also gave us some solid advice regarding structural modifications for saving even more in the future. All of this, and knowing that I'm working with an actual owner/operator really seals the deal for me. A good man, a good business, and good work done in a timely manner. And he lives right here in the San Bernardino area. If necessary, I'll be a returning customer!
