    Lilly's Septic Service

    (23 reviews)

    TLDR; Do not hire Lily's /A1 septic unless you enjoy being scammed and overcharged…read more My property was in need of pumping & septic inspection for real estate sale. I was told there was an extra fee because my particular type of system required a camera scope. After booking the initial service, I get a call back from them stating that I also needed an updated as built drawing. They said that if I didn't do this, it could create potential hold-up or red flag for the county. I'm guessing for this scam what they do is look at the google maps aerial view of your property and compare it to the most recent as built on file. I was told they normally charge $350 for this service but since I was already paying them for other services, I would get $50 off. woohoo, so generous. I also didn't quite know what the drawing entailed and if any special county filing was included.I was skeptical but I let it fly. Two guys show up for the pumping. The buff tank top guy from the website and a smaller dude with tobacco in his cheeks. Apparently more of the system needed to be dug up for the inspection. My husband does all of the digging and they kinda tell him where the stuff is. He gets the d-box exposed and the smaller dude, (Nathan, I think his name was) says that our d-box needed to be replaced as it was deteriorating and he couldn't give us a passing inspection without it. He quotes us $1500 and says he will come back and do it tomorrow morning. I'm obviously shocked to my core as my original estimate for services has now more than doubled. There's no way I'm paying this without a second opinion. So I call a few local, reputable septic companies for a second opinion. One company referred us to the man that they contract out for d-box replacement. I call that guy and it was our lucky day, he was doing something else in our neighborhood and could stop by right after. He confirmed that the d-box needed to be replaced. He also informed us that is a $200 part and we should not allow them to perform the work at the quoted price. He could come back the next evening with parts to help us finish it. Obviously at this point, I am livid. It's already annoying to be paying $1500 for a service that took less than an hour to complete. But then to try and pull a fast one on us like that? Nope. I called the main line right away. I said hey your guy told me i needed a d-box and it was going to be $1500 but I have this other septic company telling me it's a $200 fix. WTF. The receptionist, Tyler, is like well it requires a lot of digging and tried to justify it and also explains he doesn't really know much. I was like okay well my husband did ALL of the digging so there is very minimal labor involved. He was like well you can try asking the field guys but I can't really do anything about the price. So I call Nathan multiple times. And he doesn't answer and his voicemail is not set up. How convenient. I was calling to cancel and tell him to not show up. He shows up later than he was meant to the next day. Unfortunately, I was not home and this guy was dealing with my husband. Bless his soul, my husband is a sweetheart and the nicest person on the planet. People love to take advantage of that. He bullied my husband into agreeing to allow him to do the work for $500 off of the $1500 d-box repair. He convinced my husband that the other guy wouldn't have been able to do the d-box repair for us if he was licensed. He was in fact licensed but my husband wasn't the one speaking with him or the other septic company so he didn't know. My husband didn't want any more complications or hold-ups with the sale of our property so he just let him do the repair. 45 minutes later he was gone. The cherry on top really was that he charged us all that money and didn't even backfill the stupid hole when he was finished. Ah yes, SOOOO MUCH labor involved. I waited a week and had to reach out to them because I hadn't received a report or anything yet. Again, I was LIVID when I saw the updated as built drawing. All they did was reuse the old drawing and scribble out the things that were no longer there. I'll attach a photo of my $300 artwork so you can see the quality of work they'll provide you. What a freaking joke this company is. I will continue to blast this dishonest company on every platform available. I have informed my real estate agent to stop recommending them to her clients. I will make sure anyone in the neighborhood seeking septic services knows who not to call. I honestly don't even know how they are running a successful operation. They are obviously benefitting from taking advantage of people who don't know better because let's be honest, septic systems and inspections are not general knowledge. Shame on you. This was a very expensive learning experience and I hope this review helps you avoid the same mistakes.

    Stuth Septic - Honest, Reliable, and Now My Go-To…read more I first found Stuth Septic during COVID when my usual company couldn't make it out for my regular 5-year service. These guys responded immediately, showed up on time, were competitively priced, did exactly what was needed, cleaned up thoroughly, and didn't try to upsell or change anything last minute. Total pros. Fast forward to this year--my local group was booked out for weeks. One quick call to Stuth, and they had me scheduled within two days. When the tech arrived, there was a small question about the quoted price. He was super pleasant, called the office on speaker with me right there, and we resolved it in minutes. Just a simple update to their gas surcharge map--no big deal, and he apologized for the confusion. Once again, service was fast, non-disruptive, and professional. They've officially become my regular septic service. Easy to reach, always on time, fairly priced, and staffed with some of the friendliest, most service-oriented techs I've worked with. Let's be real--no one wants extra "crap" when getting their septic system serviced (pun intended!). These folks are honest, fair, and reliable. Even if you've been using the same local company for years, give Stuth a call. You'll be glad you did.

    I just wanted to give a big shout out to this company. Amazing customer service in the office (…read moreChristina) and out in the field. I've used them several times for septic pumping services. The prices are very reasonable. I would definitely recommend this company for septic issues. Save yourself some time by calling them first, you won't be disappointed.

    Things started out great! Fast response time. They were able to come the next day to pump me out…read more Showed up in the window provided. Upon arrival he told me that he would pump both tanks out. We had a misunderstanding on what I was paying for, but was resolved. Understand that if youre septic has 2 chambers, effluent side and scrum side, this will most likely be more than the standard rate. That was my misunderstanding. I didn't read my septic details well and was off on the amount of sewage that needed to be pumped. SSB got me pumped out and clean. Thanks SSB!. These guys really care about a getting a good review and it shows. Tidy, clean, and nice folks!!!!

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.

To my relief, she quickly looked up our as-builts and got us scheduled for the very next day. The following afternoon, a wonderful gentleman by the name of Randy came out to see us, right on time. I can't say enough about how much of a breath of fresh air Randy was! He was extremely polite, beyond cordial, gracious, helpful, and friendly. He took the time to carefully explain everything to us and patiently answered all our questions. He even helped us find an elusive septic cover that we weren't able to locate. He gave us great advice about how we could protect our system to avoid any possible future issues and problems. It was very obvious that Randy was a family man with excellent work ethics, and who took great pride in his work. Randy pumped out our system, including a section that the previous "other" company hadn't bother to pump out. If I had one word to describe Randy, it woud be "AWESOME"! I am so glad we hired McNel's to service our system. I feel very comfortable and reassured that we are in good hands with them. They will be out again in a few days to replace our failing pump. Thanks Randy for all your help! You're awesome!!

I'm reflecting now from the safety of many miles. It was a memorable day speaking from a sensory level. Regardless of the gut wrenching details, Shawn came out to our house and helped us button up some details that we didn't know about. They are a reliable group with integrity and I cannot speak to the amount charged. We paid without looking at the invoice and regardless would have trusted them with all the details. This will go down in the win column and we absolutely recommend them.

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.

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.

(Forgot which one and how much) .But they said we need to pump it. We don't believe them since we had negative experience with them last year as in my first review. Also we live in a 5 bedroom house with only 3 people. So we hired another septic company to come do an inspection. What do you know when they did the sludge and scum test it showed we only had 3-5inches of scum and sludge( I was there watching when they did it). Also Aqua test put a septic manhole cover screw in so sideways, it almost went through the inner wall. They also stripped the head so it was a pain to get out. It's not hard to re screw a screw in a pre screwed hole.(the hole definitely wasn't sideways) I don't like Aqua test and they don't like me but I'll just keep posting reviews of crappy service they do.

    Horrible communication. This is the worst septic company I have ever dealt with…read more My credit card was billed without ever getting an invoice. Customers service? There is none. They did an inadequate job of locating the septic system saying they couldn't find the distribution box but went ahead and did a stress test anyway. The result was raw sewage being pumped out of the holding tank. 450 gallons. The report they gave me was "inconclusive" and "further evaluation" was recommended. What a minute, isn't that what you were hired for? We went with a totally different company that was actually able to find the D box and do an adequate test.
