    Had a backup with all the rain not allowing normal flow and Peter came Monday morning not only drained but trouble shooted a blockage. Friendly and knowledgeable and would recommend. Side note we did the digging ourselves to save time and money.

    Our septic tank was WAYYYY over due to be pumped out. We had narrowed it down to Sludgebusters or Abbot. We finally chose Sludgebusters and made the call. The lady that answered the phone was so nice and got us scheduled for the following week, since we were not in any hurry. The truck pulled up to our yard on time, with the Abbot logo on it. It turns out that it is now one company with two names. Peter introduced himself and went to work, but still took the time to explain everything to us that we asked or needed to know. He is a nice person and we are very impressed with his work. Very reasonably price, especially considering he hand dug out the tank covering with a shovel, through the hard California DG in our yard, and we hadn't kept up with routine maintenance. We will be using them again.

    Contract I was asked to sign and boxes were not checked when I signed it.

    originally asked Modern Septic if they could make me the first stop of the day or at least early…read moremorning, since I had taken the whole day off work for this. They initially had me later in the schedule, but the office team was super responsive and accommodating--they texted back quickly, explained they'd try to bump me up, and kept me updated. In the end, they squeezed me in around 10am, which was perfect! The crew showed up right on time, were professional, friendly, and got the job done efficiently and cleanly. No mess, quick pump and inspection, and they left everything spotless in my backyard (even with all the plants and stuff around the access point). Communication was top-notch from start to finish--morning check-in texts, heads-up when they were en route, and a call number if needed. I've dealt with septic services before, but this was one of the best experiences. Honest, reliable, and they really go the extra mile to make it work for the customer. Highly recommend Modern Septic Service in El Cajon--definitely 5 stars!

I was recommended to call Mr. Septic. Peter answered right away and came out that same afternoon to inspect and give me a quote. He also suggested that I install risers on the lids, so I wouldn't have to keep paying for the digging of the lids, breakage and they would not break unlike concrete lids. I liked this suggestion. I asked Peter if I needed a permit for the repair job and modification to the tank if I added the risers. He assured me I did not. Regardless I checked with the County of San Diego and was told I did NOT need permits. Peter, to ease my mind, even gave me the name of an inspector at the County DEH whom I called and spoke with, who confirmed no permits were needed for repairs or the risers. Peter came out 2 days later and did a fantastic job. He is a hard worker, extremely knowledgeable. He's easy to talk to and was patient with me answering and explaining all my questions and concerns. Which as a woman - is rare to have a man treat me with respect and appreciated my questions and concerns. It was a "breath of fresh air" working with Peter - sorry couldn't resist the pun when dealing with septic tanks! Plus, he left my site clean! I really appreciated that. If I have any septic tank, or leach field issues in the future, I am definitely calling Peter and can highly recommend Mr. Septic.

    It was a Saturday morning (of course!) just before Mother's Day and my septic backed up…read more I could not get anyone to come out, and most never even responded even though their websites claimed 7 day a week emergency service. Not only did John at North County respond, but he also spent a bunch of time on the phone with me trying to troubleshoot my problem and sharing his expert knowledge. After coming out, he quickly dug in, found the problem (a root lifted the outlet line as seen in the photo), fixed it, and charged a fair price. While he was here, I had him put in some manhole covers and an observation port to make servicing easier in the future. All that in about 1/2 a day. Very happy with my experience with John saving the day!

Was recommended to call John at North County Backhoe. Absolutely thrilled that I did. He came out right away and gave me a very reasonable quote. John told me not worry that he would get it fixed. John and his family started work the very next day and finished at 1:30pm the 2nd day. Now my system is flowing like new. I highly recommend John and his family. When he finished, everything was buried and leveled off and cleaned. Quality work at great value and took the stress off my back. Thank you John. Steve
