Most reviewers highlight prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable service for septic pumping, repairs, and installations, often praising the company's responsiveness to emergencies and clear communication. Recurring themes include fair pricing, efficient scheduling, and the staff's willingness to educate homeowners on system maintenance. However, a few low-star reviews criticize unexpected dumping fees, incomplete tank pumping, and communication breakdowns regarding specific service details.

Not the best customer service in the septic business, the best customer service in ANY business. Solid, friendly advice and education, prompt and courteous service, and seemingly infinite patience with ignorant customers. Truly awesome people and company culture. Thank you!

Appreciate the review, Rob!
Nick was great and came out on a weekend before the tanks overflowed. High recommend!
Awesome job by Duane’s. We were in a desperate situation and needed help ASAP—they really stepped up to the plate. They literally left a wedding to help us. Shows you how they treat their customers. Better yet, they were here in less than 30 minutes from when we called. That’s amazing! So professional, trustworthy and really cared about helping us right away. I’m sold on Duane’s. I would recommend them to anyone who needs quick and trustworthy service.
Thanks, Mark. Happy we could help!
I have used Duanes septic service for multiple different properties. Their service, pricing, and timeliness is top notch! I would highly recommend them to others. Great local company.
Local company run by people who care 👍🏼 Had an issues on a Saturday and Nick was already in the area. We weren’t expecting someone to come out same day, but he was able to swing over within an hour and help us figure out next steps. We have used them in the past and they are always very knowledgeable and reasonable!
We have used this company for years and consistently find them to be very helpful and reliable.
