We cannot say enough incredible things about Jack Curtis. From start to finish, working with Jack on our ATS and septic system installation was an absolute blessing. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, reliable, hardworking, and genuinely a good human being Jack is that person and more. Jack handled the excavation and septic/ATS work with an incredible level of precision, professionalism, and care. He clearly knows his craft inside and out. Every step of the process was explained to us in a way that made us feel confident and informed -- he never rushed, never talked over us, and always made sure we truly understood what was happening and why. What really sets Jack apart is his work ethic and character. He was always on time, incredibly friendly, and never once made us feel like a burden or inconvenience. Anytime something came up, his response was always, "I can go back tomorrow," without hesitation. That kind of dedication is rare these days. Jack is extremely informative and knowledgeable, and you can tell he takes pride in doing things the right way not the fast way, not the sloppy way, but the correct way. He treated our property with respect, worked efficiently, and kept everything clean and organized throughout the process. And as a bonus -- even our dog absolutely loved him which honestly says a lot about the kind of energy Jack brings with him. He's just a genuinely kind, approachable, and trustworthy person. If you are considering septic work, ATS installation, or excavation of any kind, do not hesitate. Jack Curtis is someone you can trust fully, and we would recommend him a thousand times over. We are beyond grateful for his work and his integrity. Thank you, Jack -- truly outstanding work! Truly value all the hard work :) read more

Jack was great! He helped us get our septic system repaired and working again. There is no one else I would call if I had a problem. He will get you going again and he will not try to rip you off like so many companies. thank you, Jack. read more

I'm a big fan of Jack and his wife. They helped us out in a difficult and confusing time. He's honest, direct, a man of his word and a good human - not to mention an absolute professional at what he does - watching him work was pretty awesome. He's a master of his craft and his prices were fair. Glad we found him on Yelp and Theres no doubt I would like to work with Jack again. read more

We finally had to deal with our barely working septic systems, two separate houses next to each other. We've known about Jack Curtis for at least thirty years, and he has done underground work for many friends around the valley but we had never met him. So we called, and Thank God! He came out and looked over our situation, gave us a very accurate picture of what needed to happen. He brought equipment over and did some exploratory digging and gave us estimates on each house. His prices are very fair. He started working, buy the way he is one of the best equipment operators ever, and he kept at it until everything was fixed. Four days of hard work, lots of tree roots, stumps and broken pipes removed, until he had everything going great. I can't believe how hard he works! He also has very nice equipment. We highly recommend him and will never consider anyone else for this type of work. By the way he's also really great to talk with! read more

Craig Curtis spread and packed a large area in my backyard and along the roadway. He did such a great job. I cannot be happier. I just keep going out and looking at it because it's so nice. He works hard steady and is an exceptionally nice person doesn't try to talk you into anything just does whatever you want him to do and he does it the way he would do it for himself. I'm telling you you cannot go wrong with Craig Curtis his fees are very low and I'm still just amazed with the job that he did. When he says he's going to be there he's there on time. If you need any excavating or any other jobs that need done on your property, call him and arrange for him to come over and check it out and you'll know right away. He's the guy you want. I have heard about him over many years. It was a family business still is, but I never met him until two days ago. I just can't tell you how fortunate I feel. read more

From start to finish, I was extremely happy with their work and how they conducted business. I needed two septic tanks replaced on my property. One tank collapsed and the other was not working as it was suppose to and was also collapsed. The Curtis family got the county permits and scheduled the inspection. The work passed county inspection with ease. They were very professional, communication was outstanding, and the cost was very reasonable for this type of work. This is an OUTSTANDING family business and I highly recommend them for any service they provide. It is rare nowadays to find companies that do this kind of quality work like this family owned business. read more

Curtis Dump Truck & Backhoe Service is excellent! Had some plumbing issues and got that resolved by another plumbing company but discovered another huge problem during construction, a huge and deep hole on our property. Jack was highly recommended by the plumbing company and he was there ASAP to check in and see what he could do. Figured out the problem, offered me a solution and was back to get the job done bright and early and as soon as possible. He was back a couple months later to finish the job and do our asphalt for me. He knew I was on a budget and made sure to try and accommodate. You can tell Jack is knowledgeable, experienced, straightforward, honest, punctual and dependable. Curtis Dump Truck & Backhoe Service will be my go to company for any major construction I'll need in the future. read more

This man does what he says he will do. He has the best equipment, and his work is to his own high standards. If you are lucky enough to talk to him, you will hear stories of the Wildomar area dating back to the 60's. He's done a lifetime of wonderful work in developing this rural town. Treat him with respect, and he will return the same to you. He helped me greatly with two new septic systems I had him install. Five stars for Jack and crew. read more

If you are looking for honest work, you must go with Curtis. We had another company come out to test our septic (which is only 5 years old) and they told us our leech lines had failed and we needed a new one. The first company dug a small hole looked down it and then filled it back in, after which they told me the system had failed. One SMALL HOLE! I asked them how it could be failing when it's only 5 years old and they were the ones that installed it. They blamed it on our dirt. ‍ We called Curtis for a second opinion. He came out and dug up the entire system so he could actually see what was happening, he explained everything and figured out we had a bowed pipe which was not allowing for proper flow. He also said that the hole that was dug didn't show anything. They weren't even over the D box. Our leech lines (figured out we have two) were fine! Curtis and his son got everything fixed up and were very informative. I will be recommending them any chance I get. read more

By far the best service I have ever received from any company I have had to do unwanted business with. Haha.

Great company! I contacted them on behalf of one of my home sellers who needed a new septic tank installed as part of an escrow. Jack immediately went out to the property to see if the existing tank could be rebuilt but unfortunately it couldn't be saved. After speaking with other companies who seemed to have reservations about how they would gain access to the tank for the job, Jack didn't hesitate as he owns all types of his own equipment. He pulled the appropriate permits, that another company didn't feel was necessary and was priced fairly! read more

He said he would need to two days but would insure he finished the job as quickly as possible while not sacrificing on quality. Well to say the least, Jack and his son showed up and finished the job beyond my expectations and in one day!

Jack Curtis & sons are hands down the FINEST septic contractors I have had the pleasure of working with. They are HONEST, hard-working, and reasonable. I spoke with five other local Inland Empire companies and most of them were one of the following: flaky, non-responsive, lazy in their work ethic - just wanted easy money (didn't want to take on a more complicated job), came off deceptive, non-licensed but said they were licensed... I rarely go out of my way to recommend a contractor. Jack Curtis is someone that I would recommend without a doubt. If you need your system cleaned, repaired or certified, make sure to call Jack. read more

Jack and Company are honest, fair, and hard working. They took the time to explain what was needed and what was not needed for my septic repair. They handled EVERYTHING! Permits were obtained without the need for a $2000 report another septic contractor said would be required. The entire project ran on time despite a few unexpected discoveries thrown in by my old ranch house. Family owned and run, these guys genuinely wanted me to be a happy and satisfied customer. DO YOURSELF A HUGE FAVOR AND CALL JACK CURTIS SEPTIC WHEN YOU NEED WORK DONE ON YOUR SYSTEM! read more
