I called to make an appointment for septic service with Kern County Sewer, and the lady who answered the phone was polite and professional. She gave me a rundown of the prices: $225 to dig, $450 to pump, and another $225 if you need chemicals.
When the appointment came, the crew of two showed up on time, and they got right to work, digging out my septic tank lid and making hilarious poop puns along the way. They gave me a rundown on how the system worked and gave me tips to ensure it works for years to come.
Mike, the owner and father of the two young men who came to dig out the lid, showed up about an hour later with the pump truck and helped them finish the job. I elected to have chemical treatment to help maintain my leech field, and the crew elected to come back the following day so as to let it settle a bit overnight.
Mike called me in the morning and let me know when to expect his son to come by to finish the work and collect payment.
All in all, Kern County Sewer is a great family owned business. The office staff is polite, and the guys in the field know their crap. read more
