DTH Septic Service

We have been using DTH Septic Service for several years now. They are a honest, reliable, and very professional local company. Their pricing is reasonable, upfront, and transparent. We have used them for septic cleaning, maintenance, and emergency services as well and have had good experiences every time. I highly recommend them.

Enviro-Clean

Great Service!! Had a septic issue during the evening and they picked up immediately & scheduled to come the next morning. Arrived during stated time window, even though there was an active snow storm/ice rain falling, and called to confirm their arrival 30min before. An absolute gentleman. Will be using these guys… Read full review

Busy Bee Septic and Excavating LLC

Came on time. Kenny and Jorge did a great job explaining the whole pumping out process and hydro cleaning of my tank and pipes. They fixed my problem and cleaned up when done. Good guys. Would highly recommend Busy Bee for any of your septic issues.
