(3/5 rounded up from a 2/5 as management attempted to help rectify the situation)…read more Negatives: Upfront misinformation regarding capabilities, poor basic communication. Positives: Responsive foreman who handled escalation professionally and refunded upcharges. Bottom line: The overall experience was frustrating and ultimately left my sewer issue completely unresolved. While I appreciate management stepping in to rectify the billing, I cannot recommend them based on my experience. The Details: I specifically reached out to A-Advance to service an E/One sewer system. E/One units are notoriously specialized, so before booking, I explicitly asked the front office if they were equipped to handle them. They assured me they were. On that basis, I agreed to their $250 base call-out fee. When the technicians arrived, they informed me on-site that they cannot actually repair E/One systems if a component is broken. They attempted a basic flush for a grease blockage, stating that was the extent of their ability. Sure enough, 15 minutes after they left, the system alarm was blaring again, leaving me back at square one. The front-office communication throughout was equally disappointing: * No-show communication: On the original appointment date, a windstorm knocked out my power 10 minutes before arrival. Understandably, they couldn't perform the work - no big deal I get that. However, instead of notifying me, the truck pulled into my driveway and simply drove off. I had to call the office twice (getting hung up on the first time) to get rescheduled. They didnt attempt to reach me. * Surprise billing & no receipts: My expected $250 fee turned into a $400 charge with no receipt or invoice provided at payment. Had the issue been resolved I likely would have left it there. As it wasn't, I called to request an itemized bill. I discovered add-ons for fuel surcharges, charges for disposables, and additional time charges. (These add ons were not anticipated and the extra time charge shouldnt have been included. We sat there chatting for 10 minutes before they informed me that they needed to round up their time... like come on.) The Resolution: I escalated my dissatisfaction to the foreman, who was polite, professional, and agreed to refund the extra line-item charges. I genuinely appreciate the foreman correcting the bill, but at the end of the day, I wouldn't have hired A-Advance had they been upfront about their scope with regard to inspecting and repairing the E/One unit. Takeaway: Verify their technical capabilities in writing before booking.

My first pump with Sterling! Russell came out today and gave me beyond stellar service. I know…read morenothing about my septic and because of that I don't feel secure about it. But!!!!!! Russell not only pumped my tank, I mentioned I had root issues- he said I got you. He educated me, showed me how to do a drain field test myself and answered a bunch of pending questions that I've always had. Russell is professional, kind, fast, transparent and so easy to work with. I truly feel like Sterling should be every septic owners go to. They haven't failed me once and I am a picky customer. If I'm paying, I do expect good service but Sterlings service is STELLAR! 5 stars all day long.

Can't say enough good things about these folks, particularly when it comes to customer service. Had…read morewhat I thought was a pump issue, discovered at 3:00 PM on a Friday. Initially, Sterling told me that there would be no one available until Monday morning, but offered me info on another company if I wanted to check with them instead. But then, within the hour, they figured out a way to get the last of their guys who was still out in the field over to my place for a diagnosis. Guy was here in under an hour. What's more, to make sure everything was well and truly addressed, the boss himself stopped by on his way to a birthday party to offer a little oversight, hands-on assistance, and some on-the-job staff training. Sterling ended up pumping my tanks, which was fine, but there was no charge for the extra service call, which was even better, and everything was resolved by 6:00 PM. These folks could have easily said, sorry, can't do anything until Monday, and I would have understood. Instead, they went the extra mile for a good customer - and now they've ensured that they'll keep that customer for many years to come. That's the way to do business and I thought you Yelpers would want to know.

So naturally, I did some research and ended up contacting Zoom Drain. They wrote me back immediately and were able to send out Jeremy Linson to come out and give me a quote, it was a little spendy, but worth it due to his technical proficiency, expedience, and willingness to spread some knowledge, plus I got hooked up with a minor discount! A big shout out and thank you to Zoom Drain and your tech Jeremy, if I have issues in the future you guys will be my first contact! Thanks You

Aw man I was seriously very impressed. Their tech Jordan was just an overall friendly guy, super…read moreknowledgeable, not only answered my questions but was fine with watching them do the pumping. I'm a curious homeowner and I want to be involved on work at my home. We waited for the actual pump truck to arrive but it took only about 20 min. He had the covers up and was assessing how full it was in the meantime. The 2 guys from the pump truck were very friendly. They all work well together. At the end I went over the charges one at a time bc if I'm spending thousands on my home, I want to understand and approve of the numbers. He didn't mind at all. It took about 1.5 hours for the service give or take. They didn't leave a mess behind and our inspection papers will be filed. I can't say enough good things about this company. The office staff messaged me thru my yelp project which sent the convo to my phone via text. Receipt is emailed along with photos. Straightforward. Easy. Simple. One word of advice that if you decide to stay outside to watch and learn and look into the tank to see the before and after you will feel nausuous. I didn't feel it until after when I went back into the house. I won't be eating munch today. Call them for septic needs!!!!

With the septic system completely backed up, we couldn't even run the dishwasher. To make matters worse, it was during a snowstorm and on a weekend. We called that morning, hoping someone might be able to help, and this company absolutely delivered. By 1 PM they already had a crew at our house servicing the septic tank. Considering the conditions and that it was an emergency weekend call, the price was incredibly reasonable. The two technicians who came out were fantastic. They were professional, efficient, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. They handled a stressful situation with calm confidence and had everything working again much faster than we expected. A special thank you as well to the owner, Mario, who made sure we were taken care of even though it happened to be his birthday. That level of dedication to customers really says a lot about a company. If you ever need septic service, I would highly recommend them without hesitation. They've officially earned a permanent spot on my emergency homeowner contact list.

This is the second time I've used Steady Flow. Justin was super helpful, friendly, and arrived…read moreexactly on time (what a treat! A company that values my time too!). Justin looked at the issue, offered several quick fixes and made some suggestions we can do without needing expensive repairs. To be sure, when I do need any plumbing help in the future (because with a house it's always "when" not "if") you can bet Steady Flow will be my first - and probably only - call. Just as a side note - I had two other plumbers come out to review the same issue. One said it would cost $1000K+ to fix, the other recommended replacing our 6 year old water heater (which is working fine btw). Many small plumbing companies are being bought up by private equity firms, which push expensive and unnecessary repairs or products to pad their bottom line. Steady Flow is a company that is still on the side of their customers!

Our septic system backed up into our house last night after doing a load of laundry. Not a fun…read moreexperience, but I had pushed it too far, knowing the tank needed pumping a few years ago. My husband called them after hours and they got back to him first thing in the morning. We had an appointment this evening, which was far sooner than I expected. Michael and Dallas showed up already beat from a long day, but were friendly and very respectful of our property. While they took care of pumping out the tank, cleaning the filter and clearing the baffle, they took the time to explain to me what they were doing, why they were doing it, and showed me how to care for the system between regular service. They put up with me standing out there asking questions and were as gracious as they could be. They're also both incredibly hard workers who manage their time perfectly. 1000% I will be calling them for my regular service and recommending them to my friends and family. Not only were they timely, their prices do not break the bank.

I contacted hemleys during October 27th for a full septic tank that appeared to be failing. On Oct…read more27th they came out replaced a burned out pump and stated there was drawdown issues on our lateral lines. The 29th they came out again to try and diagnose/fix the issue. Eventually while we were at work they left, I got no phone call or communication and the massive hole in our yard filled back in destroying the landscape. I eventually reached someone by phone requesting an update, thinking our septic was resolved. One of the tehcs told us our DRAINFIELD has failed and they tried a temporary fix, but until it can be rectified pooling will occur in the yard if too much water used in the home. I was told on the phone by the tech that unfortunately this could be close to a 30k fix and it was left at that, with no guidance on what to do or where to go. I paid my bills right away to hemleys that week for the work they did complete. This process ended up taking Nov until February to rectify due to the misdiagnosis from hemleys. I had to pay $5000 to a drainfield designer pay numerous fees to the County for inspection which all took time. Meanwhile we had pooling in our yard and could not fully use our water and appliances in a house hold of 4. A massive 8ft by 8ft deep hole was in the center of our backyard all this time from testing by designer and county. Eventually, I found a very reputable septic company to complete the design work from the designer. Within hrs of the septic company starting the job and doing some basic diligence they discovered 2 of the 4 lines had valves closed/broken and that was all that needed to be replaced. Fortunately, this company was honest and came forward with the information. However, hemleys cost my family nearly 8k in unnecessary work hiring a designer, other fees all due to this misdiagnosed failing drain field. On April 22, 2026 I respectfully asked for a manager or owner of Hemleys to discuss this issue. I was told to provide the documents from the last company and they reviewed county records. I supplied this within minutes. I then never received a single phone call or update as I called daily until 4/30/26. I was consistently told the owner and or manager are not available on several days. And then the manager after 2 days of that stated the owner has not reviewed this yet. This was an extreme inconvenience to our household and costly due to the negligence that made for several months of an inoperable septic tank when this issue could have been resolved in a few hours like our newly hired company completed. At this time we have been blown off by this company we had used and recommended for years. Based on the data and information we have we will continue escalating this in the necessary manner legally as we have the emails sent to our designer from Hemleys supporting them diagnosing failing drain field, that in fact was no where near failing.
