Professionally incompetent, dishonest, and takes advantage…read more Fair price for a septic pumping. Background: I had sewage in my backyard above my septic tanks. It apparently wasn't getting pumped to the sand mount. I had Young's Septic come in. They diagnosed the issue as a broken pump. They drained the tank, charging me about $350 (fair price), and then gave me an estimate for $2100 for a new pump. I thanked their tech, Randy, and told him that I wanted to get a couple of estimates first. He had a look in his eyes of surprise, and then told me that the tank will fill up very quickly, so I should plan to stay at a hotel. Seemed a little pushy, since I was going to immediately call others to check on the pricing for the new Here are the prices I found along with a description of the job: -0.5 HP Gold's brand pump / 120 volt -Single man job -Not "confined space" job, i.e. the person can reach into the tank and doesn't need to climb in, which requires 2 men, and a confined space meter to check for toxic gas. Dillsburg septic - $1400 - $1800 Young's - $2100 Stinky Finky (R E Fink & Sons) - $1090 Walter's - $1095 - $2000 I called Young's back and gave them an opportunity to match the price or at least get closer to it, and was told that the owner would call me back. He never did. Brandt at R E Fink wasn't only the lowest price, but told me he could make it out the next morning. Sold. After opening up our tank, Brandt's tech, Jack reported back to him, and Bran called me with good news. He said that the only problem with my pump is that the floater is broken. It was going to cost me less than $300! He also said that my pump was only 0.3 HP, and not 0.5 as Young's had stated. I told Brandt that I needed a new pump and we agreed on $1090, but he had the morality to report back that I didn't need a new pump, and accepted much less money in return for his honesty. Brandt is a stand-up guy, and R E Fink is a stand-up company. I'm not sure what happened with Young's. Maybe they made 3 coincidental mistakes, misdiagnosing the issue, mistakenly seeing the pump as 0.5 HP rather than 0.3 HP, and then charging a ridiculous price for a pump? Are they really a good company? You make your own decision based on these facts.

The owner came out on a Sunday about 2 hours after I called due to a basement drain backing up. He was very informative and did not waste any time. He fixed the problem and when he presented the bill I was pleasantly surprised at what he charged as I never asked for a quote beforehand and didn't know how much to expect it to cost. I will use Drain King whenever I need a plumber and I will recommend him to everyone because I think he did a fantastic job at an affordable price and he did it on short notice on a Sunday!

Ryan, one of the two drivers of the Pile's trucks we had long seen passing our house, knew exactly to move past our 7.5 check-out PVC cap to the concrete septic lid underneath. He was cheerful, friendly, and informative. He advised 3 to 4 years before calling again. I hope he and Chris will still be with Pile's then! The amount we paid was slightly less than the estimate, based upon what Ryan actually found to pump. Very straight ahead! Pile's is a real find!
