I contacted hemleys during October 27th for a full septic tank that appeared to be failing. On Oct…read more27th they came out replaced a burned out pump and stated there was drawdown issues on our lateral lines. The 29th they came out again to try and diagnose/fix the issue. Eventually while we were at work they left, I got no phone call or communication and the massive hole in our yard filled back in destroying the landscape. I eventually reached someone by phone requesting an update, thinking our septic was resolved. One of the tehcs told us our DRAINFIELD has failed and they tried a temporary fix, but until it can be rectified pooling will occur in the yard if too much water used in the home. I was told on the phone by the tech that unfortunately this could be close to a 30k fix and it was left at that, with no guidance on what to do or where to go. I paid my bills right away to hemleys that week for the work they did complete. This process ended up taking Nov until February to rectify due to the misdiagnosis from hemleys. I had to pay $5000 to a drainfield designer pay numerous fees to the County for inspection which all took time. Meanwhile we had pooling in our yard and could not fully use our water and appliances in a house hold of 4. A massive 8ft by 8ft deep hole was in the center of our backyard all this time from testing by designer and county. Eventually, I found a very reputable septic company to complete the design work from the designer. Within hrs of the septic company starting the job and doing some basic diligence they discovered 2 of the 4 lines had valves closed/broken and that was all that needed to be replaced. Fortunately, this company was honest and came forward with the information. However, hemleys cost my family nearly 8k in unnecessary work hiring a designer, other fees all due to this misdiagnosed failing drain field. On April 22, 2026 I respectfully asked for a manager or owner of Hemleys to discuss this issue. I was told to provide the documents from the last company and they reviewed county records. I supplied this within minutes. I then never received a single phone call or update as I called daily until 4/30/26. I was consistently told the owner and or manager are not available on several days. And then the manager after 2 days of that stated the owner has not reviewed this yet. This was an extreme inconvenience to our household and costly due to the negligence that made for several months of an inoperable septic tank when this issue could have been resolved in a few hours like our newly hired company completed. At this time we have been blown off by this company we had used and recommended for years. Based on the data and information we have we will continue escalating this in the necessary manner legally as we have the emails sent to our designer from Hemleys supporting them diagnosing failing drain field, that in fact was no where near failing.

Sean and Al came by to check things out. They found a blockage in the inlet and they took care of the issue in maybe 20-30 minutes. They were great! The estimated price for the visit was already talked about with me from the dispatcher and the end cost for the visit wasn't too far off. Hopefully no more septic system issues come again for a long time but when it does I'm calling Hemley's!

This was my second service call with Kurt's and unfortunately, he fell flat on his face! I scheduled another pump out on my mother-in-law unit with Kurt's, as he handled my previous problem so well. I gave him the option of picking the date and time, so as to fit his calendar and 7/25 in the mid to late morning was HIS choice...Perfect! Support local business. My Tuesday morning appointment came and went but without Kurt's. No phone call, message , nothing! Straight up NO SHOW! Early afternoon came and progressed into late afternoon and then, just before 4PM and 6 hours late, he did call to say "he wasn't coming. I'll try and re-schedule you in a couple of weeks." Kurt further said "I couldn't come out for your service today anyway since he had to empty my truck before 3PM. Kurt could have called earlier with "Sorry, this afternoon for sure, maybe later, just really backed up" or how about just a simple "cant' make it," but instead he simply pissed away my entire day, knowing he was overbooked and would not be keeping his own appointment A simple phone call early in the day would have saved all this grief...certainly NOT my definition of a Prompt, Reliable or Premier service. Kurt is a busy man and he clearly has far more business than he can handle. I do wish him success and a bright future but keep all this in mind if you're really looking for a reliable Septic Pumping/Service.

Stopping the blaring was not easy (because the malfunctioning alarm off switch, a mislabeled electrical panel, and more. Anyway, in the morning hubby called the septic company that most recently pumped our tank two years ago and was told about the diagnosis service charge and that they'd probably need a $600 pumping before they could work. And if they diagnose electrical (like pump or the alarm box), they need to call the electricians who'd have another service charge... in the meantime, I searched online and saw the rave reviews for Kitsap Septic. So, I called and was told it sounded like electrical issues (pump, floats, and the alarm box) and that it's doubtful our tank needs pumping! I was told to call Aquarius pump and they'll prob use a sump pump and then take care of things quickly, correctly, and at a reasonable price. (And if the tank does need pumping, they'll call him.) It all went exactly as expected. Aquarius Pump came e as to the next morning and got it working enough to use the plumbing, but said to fix it properly, he'd need to return to replace the pump and alarm box. In another couple of days, it was just a memory. Except we now have a fantastically honest and highly regarded Septic service who I feel about recommending!!!

We suddenly realized our septic tank needed to be pumped right away and called Kitsap Septic. We…read moreused them a year ago and were thoroughly impressed with their service. I've been lax in checking and clearing the filter and now we've literally paid for it. It isn't cheap to pump the tank but that's what the guys had to do. But let's go back in time to earlier this morning. When I called the office to set up the service I talked to Darren who was extremely friendly and was clearly dedicated to providing excellent customer service. He was hopeful his guys could show up today, which is exactly what they did. A two-man team, headed by Ross, arrived not quite two hours later. Ross is a jovial guy who laughs freely and shares his good spirits with you. I immediately liked him. He and his partner made quick work of pumping the tank even though the tank design presented problems, something other companies we've used have complained about. Ross gave us a refresher course in checking and cleaning the filter but just HAD to let us know that if I'd kept that filter clean we wouldn't have needed the tank pumped. In fact on the paperwork he left with our receipt, he estimated the tank shouldn't need pumping for another three years. So, now slightly poorer but much wiser you can bet I'll be keeping up on keeping that filter clean.

Eduardo was great!

He was very responsive, communicated his ETA clearly, and is obviously very knowledgeable about septic systems. He explained everything in simple terms and didn't make me feel overwhelmed. Pricing was similar to other companies I've used, but I got way more value from the service. My experience with Eduardo (Septico) was completely different from a previous company I hired, who made me feel judged instead of actually helping. Eduardo showed up with the intent to diagnose and fix the issue, and even handles repairs, which was a big plus. Highly recommend! He's honest, knowledgeable, and easy to work with.

I was a little wary of this company after reading the other reviews, but I had sh*t that needed to…read morebe taken care of! My septic tank alarm (if you don't have one get one!) went off in the late evening. I quickly called and scheduled for them to come the next afternoon. In the morning there have been a mixup from the scheduler and they were on their way, but with quick resolve they rescheduled for the afternoon as I had planned. The service man that came was extremely thorough and worked efficiently without wasting time. Being a woman, I am always afraid of being ripped off and dismissed with my concerns and questions, this was never the case here. Every question I had was handled with care, he did not shy away from explaining how things worked either. He made the required repairs and cleaned up afterwards. Now let's talk about cost. Yes, I was expensive. But there was no was in HELL I was going to muck about this household's feces! These men and women have a dirty job and should be compensated for it, not to mention the cost for safely disposing/cleaning up whatever materials they come across. If you're concerned about costs be sure to ask the scheduler what is typically charged and they will happily explain it to you. You will have to pay for their time, materials, and assessment of the issue. I will be using this company again for my next service. (4 stars instead of 5 because of the scheduling hiccup.)

Said service charge was 300. To take two photos over 2 minutes. Said this service charge might be rolled into next appointment but only for 30 minutes. No one ever called to set up a follow up to install. Make it right. Reverse the charge and let me get on with my life.

Holly Nuckels answered the phone and immediately instilled confidence with a line of questioning and suggestions that demonstrated a profound understanding of septic technology and process. She promised to take on my project immediately and see everything through to completion. She and Brent were on site within a day and all my cares and worries evaporated! They cleared the existing failed field to a degree that held us through the permitting and construction arc. This was a complex, extensive replacement that including rehoming the entire drain field.
