Called AAA and told them what I had done and said they could pump my tank and to call me back when they were ready as this wasnt a rush job only something I was doing as I was "in the area". Nobody called me back so we went to Redding to see relatives. Got back in the car and found out that AAA had trespassed on my property and had pumped my tank without my permission or signed authorization. I wouldnt let anyone on my property without supervision or authorization especially if I didnt know them. The choice is yours.

ALWAYS GET A SECOND OPINION / BID…read more... Our tenants in Paradise call -- drain backing up. Thrifty Rooter inspected and the worst news came... needs a new septic tank and field. Since Thrifty was recommended by our property manager, we asked for a quote -- $24,500.00. Knowing nothing about septic systems and the urgency of the situation, I said go ahead. One week later... through other sources and other quotes, we find the average cost for this work is $13,000 - $15,000 (max). And, we found out that Thrifty Rooter was the middle man... NH Construction actually bid and was doing the work. We nicely asked to stop (only work done a 10x10 deck removed. On that day, the stop day, the work permit was pulled from the City of Paradise. Coincidence.... not ! My biggest complaint with Thrifty is when we proved the rip off by NH Construction, Thrifty passed along the problem to NH Construction and they were no help to resolve. It was their bid !! The end... I spent $17,000, $2,000 - $4,000 more than I should have because NH Construction pulled a work permit the day we complained. If you want proof or facts, ask me... I will be happy to share the bids !!

I needed help with my Septic System. I called Chico Septic who had bought out the original company…read morethat put in a new system 25 years ago. First guy came out to pump my tank. I was having no issues, it was just past time for a pump. He opened up the system and saw that the liquid was above its drain pipe, meaning it was going into the leach line. He told me he would send their tech who specialized in clogged whatever's. He would not pump my system as he didn't know what tech would find and didn't want me to have to pay for two pumpings. Raul turned up to pump the tank so the techs could work on it. He was very informative as to what was going on. Next came Lance and Jimmy. Those two indentified the problem and began digging and tried to clear out the pipe between the tanks and the leach line. Those two young men explained everything they were doing and what they were going to do to fix . I cannot tell you pleased I am with their result. Such hard workers!!!!
