Had them install risers and new lids for easier pumping next time.
Roxy K.

Horrible customer service all around. Unprofessional. Irresponsible. They did work at my neighbors house. REMOVED MY MAILBOX WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. Had to tell them to put my mailbox back into the ground. And when they did, they did this half assed crap. When brought up to their attention, they won't take responsibility for THEIR Work and refuse to fix it.

they did a great job not destroying my whole yard

This is my second time having Honest John's help with my septic at my home located in Hesperia. They were fabulous as usual and exceeded my expectations. Such awesome people work there. ROXANNE is absolutely amazing! She is the sweetest and so helpful and understanding. She helped me set up all of our appointments, our quote, our payment arrangement. She also went out of her way to email me a picture of the parts of our yard that they have to up root to get a new septic system in. She even gave me some contact information on landscapers that could help us put our yard back together. I just really appreciated how much she went above and beyond to help me after the RUDE people at Burns Septic treated me like crap. Shawn is the gentleman that pumped our septic again at Honest John's and he is still a great guy! Hasn't changed since the last time he came to my home. Let me start from the beginning of my experience. My husband and I listed our home for sale months ago and someone made an offer so of course we had to have a septic inspection and pumping as part of the sale. Our agent , who we know and trust greatly, hired another septic company that she has used for the last 20 years for her other clients and never had an issue with. So we trusted her and went with them. They came out and the guys were ok. They talked to my husband and kind of walked him through what they were doing and in the end said that our septic tank is completely deteriorated and the seepage pit had sunk. We were bummed to hear that we need a whole new system but not super shocked since our home is over 30 years old. Long story short , the guys at Burn's only pumped half of our tank even though they charged us over $700 for a pump and certification. Their front office girls were EXTREMELY rude and their head Boss guy that quoted us on a new system was unreliable. Their quote by the way was HIGH. And to top it off, their rude office girls were insensitive to the fact that all this work was going to demolish our front yard/landscaping. I didn't like Burns at all, I hated how they treated us and how they spoke to us. So I went with my first choice against my realtor and called Honest John's. After they confirmed that we did need a new system and their quote came back thousands under what Burns was quoting , there was no doubt we were going to go with Honest John's. The guys that came to replace it were also great, came on time early in the morning of the appointment, it was a big job but as soon as they saw how landscaped our front yard was, they were so considerate and let us know that they can't save every bit of our yard but if there was anything in particular that we really want to try to salvage - what would it be, we said our light posts. And you know , they did save it. They worked hard but carefully and in the end they didn't destroy our yard as bad as we were anticipating. And a few days later after the city approved it, those guys came back and covered the holes With dirt and my yard didn't look too beat up. They really did a great job and my husband and I really appreciate the kindness , integrity and hard work that all the wonderful people at Honest John's Septic showed towards us.

How much do they charge for a 32" pit and hook up?

I prefer to not say how much we paid for our service for a pit and hook up. It depends on how far from the septic tank you want to go, what is involved in your yard for the digging of the pit, etc. I will say they were VERY competitive with other… Read more

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.

In the end, I got rid of my ugly brown bathroom as seen in one of the pictures, gutted another bathroom and remodeled both. They replaced the tile in my laundry room, installed all new pipes/drains and added insulation under my mobile home. The damaged foundation in 3 rooms was fixed. I added recessed lighting in my kitchen. Both bathroom ceilings were torn down and rebuilt with new lighting and fans installed. They also did some painting and repaired my garage disposal. I feel like my house is brand new and I am looking forward to future projects with them

As an elderly woman who's the queen of budgeting, my mom didn't want to spend any money doing some very necessary plumbing work. But it was NECESSARY. Frank from Dapper was totally understanding, as I kept him on hold literally for months. When it finally came time to do the job, he and his team were beyond compassionate yet professional. They even did another very small project beyond the scope of the original work. I'm so grateful for small businesses that maintain their small community appeal and empathy, while still being professional and doing great work. This, in a nutshell, is Dapper Plumbing.

Jose came in and immediately imagined how the project would be done and gave the impression that it was all easy due to his many years of experience.

On the job day, Jose and his crew of Ricky and Isaac were again punctual and ready to knock out the job quickly and smoothly. I was impressed by this, and the concern for the quality and final look of the job. For the scope of work, I always felt that any situation that arose during the job was not a problem to resolve.

Their reliability, efficiency, and quality of work give us complete peace of mind and that's why we keep coming back to them on future projects. I highly recommend their work!
