I'm so disappointed. We've used Stinky's before and it was fine, but this last time, their technician incorrectly pumped our septic tank through the small inspection port, instead of digging down 12 inches to find the correct opening. He was nice, but he did an incompetent pumping job. read more

Stinky's Septic Services - My septic tank is being pumped through the wrong port. - Septic Services Near Me - Lambertville, New Jersey

I called these guys for a septic repair, it seemed like I was a nuisance it took a while for them to get back to me after calling several times. And then finally when they did get back they seem to be very bothered and gave me an very unreasonably hive price just to get rid of me. I'm a home-improvement contractor, and I know these guys are local, and I think it was a big mistake for them to treat me this way because I could've been a good customer of theirs . read more

Stinky's came out to my home on June 2nd to clean out my septic tank. Stinky's had cleaned out our septic once before and when they last came they knew that they would have limited access to the tank, so the first time, they had another person assist with the clean out. The person that arrived on June 2 was late and not familiar with how to clean it out telling us that we need to add an access panel, which is not an easy thing costing thousands of $$$. He was here less than 15 mins & left- insisting that he be paid $334 - despite that he never finished the job. We paid him via check. I told him I would call to have the other guy who helped us finish the job. I called & had to even call back as they were not good on responding. The guy who answered told me what my customer record said (needs support for paper clog- which they remedied the last time) and that he would send someone out to finish the job. On June 14th they sent the same guy who told me the same thing and even wanted to charge me $45 on top of it! Meanwhile my septic was NOT cleaned out totally and they cashed my check on June 3rd. When I called back a representative told me that we were "not a good fit" and they could not help us anymore. This is fraud, as they did not finish the job, knew that it needed to have more support and kept sending the wrong same guy, who knows nothing. DON"T USE THIS COMPANY! read more

I just had my septic cleaned out by Stinky's. I was very happy with the work done for several reasons. I have used other companies and they always try to tell me I need to fix the base or need to buy enzymes or some other way for them to make more money off the visit. Today, a very personable and efficient man came out named Angel and he was knowledgeable about my septic system, made some suggestions for improving performance and told me 3 years would be a reasonable time to schedule the next pump. He cleaned up, put away my hose and was on his way. I would recommend this company. Note: there is a coupon on their website. read more

Do not use this business! They charged me over $200 an hour to come to my house and dawdle around. Then they went to buy something that they said would take a couple minutes that really took 50 minutes. On top of that they rounded 2 and a half hours to three hours of work. And after about $700 in costs, they didn't tell me a single thing I didn't already know. Some plumbers are honest, some are just scammers. This is the latter category and I hope to save other people from wasting their time and money. read more

Stinky's sent out an inexperienced person that did not complete the job but wanted to balloon the job to include plumbing work- which oh by the way they can support via their own plumber. Hmmm..... Very poor communications and even when they offered to come out and finish the job- that they did NOT finish- they wanted to charge me for that. Stay far away from this money grabbing service that doesn't back up their work..... read more

With all of the unreasonable charges, like oil and gas charges for plumb, extra connection host, walk way and driver. They cost is always higher that counterpart. We won't use them or recommend anyone either. read more

Be very careful with this guy. Bait and switch in effect. Had many chances to tell me of the additional $70 fee for digging but it was never mentioned until the driver arrived. Never heard of a fee for digging the whole 1 foot to get to the tank. (Apparently the digging fee is common ... as is mentioning it as part of the price when first speaking to the customer.) Had I known beforehand it would have affected my decision to use them, Meanwhile they have wasted my time and I will find someone else to pump my septic. Shooting straight and being honest wins every time. Stinky's loses. read more

We have always used Stinky's for our septic tank services and they have always been prompt and professional. Our latest visit was completed today by one of their technicians named Eddie, who was wonderful. He took his time to explain the conditions he saw in the tank and how we could keep it in the best condition. He brought things to our attention that we would never have thought of otherwise, such as not flushing baby wipes, even if the package says they are safe for septic, being aware that soaps and shampoos and other toiletries can contain grease that can accumulate in the septic, etc. We have always had positive experiences with this company and will continue to use them and recommend them to anyone in need of septic services. read more

We have always used Stinky's to pump our septic system. They sent a very nice gentleman, Angel, today who not only pumped our septic but did a great job digging to find the septic cap and replaced all the dirt and grass as it was originally. We wete once again impressed with the company and service we received. read more

A lovely, pleasant gentleman showed, and we found the 2" cleanout, but not the septic concrete cover, according to him--he explained the one I claimed was a cover was not the concrete item of question. Oddly, this concrete object, flat and round like a possible lid to something, sits in the lawn pretty much by itself with a couple of trees around it for company--not a landscaping objet d'art, nor even a first stone of a purported pathway. My Stinky man kindly hands me a heavy metal probe, and decides I must poke the ground around the known cleanout for the septic cover, which, per his knowledge, sits not but ten feet away ostensibly in the direction away from the house. No luck. My Stinky man informed me he needed to return with smaller diameter hose, billed me $45 for showing up. He returned with a 2-inch-diameter hose, and demonstrated the cleanout presents no access to the tank (his earlier promise that it would, notwithstanding!). Oh boy, I think, where is my septic cover? My Stinky man bills me another $45.00 and leaves. Persistent that I am, I find a plat showing the cover of question as the actual cover! I call Stinky's, they send a new Stinky man (Angel!), give me an awesome t-shirt, and pony up (after my complaints having been charged $90.00 for nada) a year's worth of enzymes. The bill was reasonable in the end, and I learned more than I needed to know about my septic. Stick with Stinky's! They prevail in the end. read more
