When the technician arrived, he took a quick look, flashed a light around, and glanced under the crawl space--but never actually went in to investigate. After a few minutes, he told me he couldn't find anything and suggested a costly camera inspection. At that point, I asked him a question about our dishwasher, and he ran a wire through it, pushing out a bit of food buildup. It was a small fix, and I was grateful for the help. Then came the shock--he told me I owed him $200. I was stunned. For what amounted to a flashlight glance and a quick poke at the dishwasher, it felt incredibly excessive. I was home alone and felt pressured to pay, but I walked away from that interaction feeling completely taken advantage of. Thankfully, we contacted a second plumber who actually took the time to go into the crawl space, snake the main line, and diagnose the real issue--without charging a dime for the inspection. He gave us a fair quote, fixed the problem properly, and even installed a two-way sewer cleanout. That's the kind of service that earns long-term trust. I don't normally write reviews like this, but I want others to know: do your homework. There are honest, hardworking professionals out there. Sadly, this company wasn't one of them.

I booked Modern Septic Service to do my septic tank pump-out, and I couldn't be more happy with the professional and fast service Danny did at my home. From the moment he arrived, Danny showed a level of expertise and efficiency that truly set him apart from the previous companies I used. Not only did he complete the pump-out swiftly, but he also went above and beyond by removing a blockage at no extra cost. His attention to detail was evident when he replaced the tank lid and ensured everything was left clean behind. Danny's friendly personality, dedication to cleanliness, and organization made it perfect. I highly recommend their services to anyone needing a reliable and thorough septic tank service. Thank you Danny and Modern Septic read more

We faced a septic system issue while my brother-in-law, with four additional guests, visited over the weekend. The recommended service provider couldn't come for three days, so we quickly searched and chose Modern Septic Service. They arrived within three hours and resolved the problem within an hour and a half. The prompt and efficient service was a relief, especially with four guests and impending bathroom facilities. The technician exceeded expectations by arriving fast and simply doing a good job. The reasonable price made the experience even more satisfying. Thank you for the excellent service! read more

They were very kind enough to accommodate us on the same day, as we needed immediate attention with our tank. Even the owner showed up to get the job done quickly and efficiently.
