My dad and I had called over 6 different plumbing companies that advertised as being able to work…read moreon septic. Five out of the six said they do not do pumping of the septic tanks. The sixth one said they'd call us back but after 48 hours had not. Today, 5/5/26, my dad was driving back to his home from running an errand and saw a Powell's Plumbing truck pumping a septic at a nearby house. He turned around and went back and asked them if they could come and do his while they were in the area. They made a call and said yes! They showed up shortly after the job they were doing was finished and took care of pumping dad's septic out. Amazing. Dad said the lead tech was training a new tech but that they both were super polite, very professional and took care so as not to damage any shrubbery around the house. (Dad's clean-out is only 5 ft off his house foundation) My dad was so impressed that he called me to ask me to leave this review for them as he doesn't "do" computers, lol. He highly recommends Powell's Plumbing and Air for pumping out septic tanks!! A+++

I had a backup of a toilet and sink in my basement. The plumber I called suspected it might be the…read moreseptic and opened the septic tank. It was full. I called Great Falls and they were able to come out same day. The technician, Mauricio Apolinares immediately diagnosed the problem as a blockage between the tank and the house. While the tank was fairly full he doubted that was what was causing the back up. He dug out the inlet access port and sure enough, the baffle that empties into the tank was completely clogged. Within a couple of hours of arriving we were back in business. Very impressed with their service.

DO NOT USE - Negligent and Dangerous…read more We called Great Falls Septic (GFS) in May 2025 after our septic alarm went off. As first-time homeowners with a septic system, we relied on them for honest, professional help. Instead, we got deception, disrespect, and potential property damage. They came out, inspected the system, and said the pumps were fine but we needed the pit pumped and 3 float valves replaced. We were quoted $600 for the valves and $385 for the pump. We agreed and scheduled service for May 22. When the technician arrived, he unexpectedly demanded an extra $40 in cash for a hose that was supposedly needed to reach the bottom. He said the office gets angry if he doesn't collect money on every visit. We were confused and told him we already had a formal quote. He became rude and walked away mid-conversation. Without our knowledge or consent, the technician shut off both the septic pump and the alarm system--disabling the two systems that are meant to protect our home from sewage overflow. He then quietly left the property without saying a word. We only found out what had happened because the second company we hired confirmed it: * The pump was manually shut off. * The alarm was disabled. * Our system was left at risk of dangerous overflow. * No work had been done on the valves. When we called the office to report this, a woman named Debbie hung up on us. No explanation. No apology. Nothing. This wasn't a misunderstanding--it was willful negligence. GFS left our system compromised and our home at risk. We are filing a complaint with the Virginia Department of Health. If you value your home, your safety, and basic human decency, stay far away from GFS.

When my septic alarm suddenly went off, I had no clue what to do. I've never dealt with a septic…read moresystem before, and honestly--I panicked. I called Dynamic Septic Solutions, and to my relief, he picked up right away and was at my house within 30 minutes. That alone deserves five stars. He quickly diagnosed the issue, removed a pipe, and pulled out a small piece of fabric that had caused the problem--like a septic detective. He took the time to explain everything clearly, even when I asked questions that probably made no sense. He stayed patient and professional the entire time, which I really appreciated. I've been dealing with other issues in my septic system, and after a bad experience with McKim, I wasn't sure who to turn to. But because of the great experience I had with Dynamic Septic Solutions, I asked him to handle the rest of the system issues as well. He's honest, reliable, and knows exactly what he's doing. My only concern? He's so good that I hope he's not too booked the next time I need help!
