Showed up on time…in the middle of a severe storm and performed the work anyway. The young man had a positive attitude and the rain didn’t seem to phase him. Nasty conditions but performed like it was a beautiful sunny day. He took photos like I asked and documented the process. Thank you for your professionalism

I had an issue with my aerobic system at my home in Cedar Hill and called them at 8am. They came and had my issue fixed shortly around noon. I signed up for their annual maintenance service at a very reasonable price.
Nick Nichols
I called on the 16th of January in the midst of a hard freeze due to my septic system alarm going off. Even with the weather and its associated workload, the techs arrived the same day and resolved the issue. Awesome service seems to be the norm for this company and their techs!
Michael Turner
Great service. We received service within a few hours of calling in. They came in and found the issue immediately and provided great tips and feedback. We know nothing about the septic tank so the info gathered was very helpful.

OUR PROCESS
The Game Plan For RE Inspections
We’re here to make sure your septic inspection follows all local requirements, fulfilling your legal requirements while giving you a clear picture of system health.
We'll Locate Your Tank
We’ll locate your septic tank and lid, mark where it is on your property, and check on all your external connections.
We'll Inspect Your System
We'll visually inspect your tank inside and out, checking for any damage while establishing a baseline for your overall system health.
Check Your Dispersal Field
We’ll do a water flow test of your system, with the goal of seeing where your treated water is going, and how your system handles its water.
Close Up And Clean Up
We’ll secure everything back into good working order, and tidy up around your septic tank lids and yard to make things look good.
Report The Results
From your inspection we'll let you know if your septic system passed with flying colors, or if it needs some care to keep it running smoothly.
