We decided to add a second leach field last year! Our property is very large and my husband was concerned that a single leach field may fail early without the addition. Waters installed the initial field so we returned to them, as the initial service was perfect. We were really pleased to work with Matt and Dan again. They were both so helpful and we knew the service would be excellent. They were a slightly higher quote than other companies, but our experience before was so good we decided to go with the company we knew had a great quality product and service. 10/10 for Waters! read more

There are not enough good things I can say about Waters and just how grateful I am for them as a company but also their staff. We bought our house in 2020 and knew nothing about septic systems or what it meant to live on septic. Waters conducted our independent septic inspection and then also cleaned it out. They were great then and I had hoped we wouldn't see them again for another 5-7 years. Fast forward to today (2023), we began a permit process with Washoe County to put a shop on our property. When you're on septic you're required to go through the health department for verification of your septic system and ensure there's enough space on the property for repairs, etc. We opted to work with Waters through this process to get us through our health department nightmare. Dan Martin was our point of contact and let me tell you... this guy is AWESOME. He helped us navigate through what felt like a nightmare, coordinated with the health department directly, and was so so patient with me, my husband, and all the nuances we had to go through to document our septic system and seepage pit. I am beyond grateful for people like him who are professional, relatable, trustworthy, honest, and hard working. He never got annoyed with us and was so quick to support in whatever next step we needed to do for the health department. If you need septic support in any capacity, Waters should be your go-to. Starting with the people in the office to the folks in the field, they are true professionals and a top notch company. read more

One last update a few months after service! Read through my previous review to see how we got here, but in short I can't say enough good about the team at Waters. Efficient, thorough, professional, informative, and super friendly are words id use to describe this company. Not only did they handle my sh%#*y situation expertly, but I felt like they took care of us with kit gloves and offered super service too. If you read the last review, you learned excavation was part of the plan. Well I'm happy to report the lawn repaired itself without issue! Again, these guys are super pro. Hire them. read more

Waters Vacuum Truck Service - Septic Services Near Me - Reno, Nevada

See all

This company is an example of what a contractor should be. I was involved in selling a house in Reno and after a bad experience with a previous plumber Waters came to the rescue. Their fees are reasonable, and their customer service is amazing. Waters was able to quickly take care of a problem with the septic and put everything back together. They even replaced the grass. I was so glad we were able to find and work with these amazing people. read more

Just had my septic pumped! Used Waters Vacuum Truck Service 5 years ago also and they are still amazing! Christian came and did a great job and he was so nice. He made sure the path was clear for his truck before driving in and he even taught me a few things about septic tanks that I didn't know. Hope they keep Christian around ... he was so thorough and so nice! Great company! read more

Its kinda weird to leave a review for a septic pumping service but these guys were so helpful and friendly i just have to. The staff at Waters took my call late at night and helped walk us through a fix for what could have been a septic emergency. In doing so they saved us hundreds of dollars and a whole lot of misfortune. Then we scheduled an appointment and they called to make sure it was OK to show up early. The bill was less than they thought it might be and they left no trace that they were here. Good company with some great employees! read more

Started on time, professional interaction, thorough explanation. 2nd time Waters has provided septic service for us in 7 years. Highly recommended. read more

Used one of those nationwide 'rooter' companies that said they could deal with septics. That ended up being a mistake. I reached out to Waters Septic on a Sunday, with the hopes that I would hear from them Monday morning. As it wasn't an urgent issue, but one that had the potential to escalate. A very short time passed before Justin contacted me. I explained my issue, Justin had some follow-up questions. He quoted me more than fair price and told me that there was availability to have somebody out in short time. We had the pleasure of meeting Matt, who was amazing. He took the time to explain to us all about our system, he went extra steps to ensure that everything was in working order. Upon leaving everything was clean. We can honestly say this is one of the best experiences we've had with a service technician. We will always contact Waters Septic for any of our septic needs in the future. read more

Thanks to Waters, their tech was on time, professional and educated us on septic systems. We were impressed and feel comfortable knowing when and who to call when we need it serviced. read more

These guys were prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable! Also fairly priced compared to what other companies wanted to charge for such a small tank. Thanks for making a not so good plumbing experience day a little bit better. read more

We contacted Waters recently to pump our septic tank. We had previously used another service. The waters service was more professional end-to-end. Their phone staff gave us great advice on what we needed (and didn't need) and why. Their truck showed up on time. Their person that did the pumping gave us the exact kind of report on how well we had been doing on our maintenance and a small item to consider in the future. I couldn't be happier. I would rate them best in Reno. read more

We recently used Waters at the recommendation of a neighbor and I am glad we did. It's never nice to wake up to a backing up septic system. Even less so in the middle of winter. They were able to get someone out within 2 hours of my call and the office was kind enough to offer a veterans discount without me asking which I appreciate. The service personnel and office staff were all friendly and patient with my many questions. Who knew you aren't supposed to use a garbage disposal and bleach with a septic tank? I had no clue! In any case, keep up the good work. read more

I contacted this company to pump our septic tank on a Saturday.The owner got right back to me and asked me the particulars of the job.I was able to schedule the work for the following Monday.The crew that came were 2 very knowledgable guys that worked hard and were very efficient.I would highly recommend this company for your septic and other plumbing needs.It was an excellent experience from the owner to the crew that did the work.On top of being a great service company they charged me less than what the owner quoted me.Great company. read more

I highly recommend Waters. I have a lift station which pumps to my septic tank. It needed to be pumped/drained to access the pumps, which unfortunately, both needed replacement. They were on time, courteous and hard working guys. I was very impressed with their hard work, answering my questions and pleasant attitude. Thanks again guys! read more

I had a far better experience with this company. They are well organized and show up on time. The staff is friendly and informs you of what they are doing and what is actually going on. They pumped and repaired my septic take and I had no issues with them at all. Would recommend. read more

- Quick Review - Set appointment over the phone, the Tech (Christian) showed up on time, made sure not to park heavy pumping truck on paver driveway, accessed the septic tank lids (which we dug to uncover and prep for his arrival) and within 45 minutes or so the job was completed. No issues, no problems. The Tech replaced the lids and removed the truck hoses and tools, reconnected the garden hose (he used his own hose when servicing the septic tank) and off he went. Job completed as contracted by a Tech who obviously knew what he was doing, professional and friendly. - In the Covid-19 environment, the Tech keep an appropriate "social distance" and a detailed invoice and credit card receipt was sent to us via email by the company. - Will definitely use this service again and would recommend them as well compared to whom we have used in the past. Well run company. read more

First things first - don't call them if you're looking for cheap. They aren't. They are reasonable, but by no means cheap. That said - they were VERY helpful in working with me to identify the problems, and repair my septic system. They were very prompt - and showed up each time - on time. They returned all calls - even my q&a calls a couple months ago by a technical staff member that was able to answer all questions honestly. I'm glad I went with the recommendation to call them. They were accurate - all prices quotes were on target - an unknown presented a slight overage - but it was handled. They worked with my management company to ensure they were in the loop, and handled the scheduling with my tenant and made sure everyone knew who to call and what was going on. They apparently did the work correctly. I've checked in with my tenant and management company. Everyone is satisfied with the work so far. They did the work on time - and met their commitments on the job to get it done. If I had to complain, I'd say it was price - but I'm not going to. I got what I paid for - which is a professional service that listened, met my expectations and delivered - even though it took a bit of extra time and effort on their part. If you want the job done right - and don't want to worry - give them a call. You can try others - I have. And I've regretted it in the past. Give them a call. read more

We had several issues with our septic and were quite worried. They arrived promptly and wasted no time getting to work. Every worker was professional, polite, efficient, and willing to answer question. They discovered the answers to all our troubles quite easily. The dig was clean as a whistle before they left. I will always call them when trouble strikes. read more

Waters came out with only one day notice. They were here for three hours. They had to dig up both my lids on my septic tank. Joe did a great job.i would recommend them to my friends and family. read more

I had the unique opportunity today to teach my kids about "an honest business" thanks to your driver (I am embarrassed that I forget his name and can't acknowledge him individually). When he got the lids opened he took one look and explained why our tank was not ready for pumping anytime soon and even offered alternatives for our slow drain issues. He handed back the check that I wrote. I Know that this was a wasted trip for your drivers, but that kind of honesty means that I will call you when it is time and highly recommend you! Thank you for not taking advantage of an opportunity to take money for a service that apparently isn't necessary. read more

GREAT JOB. We made the "top 10' list for worst septic tanks clean out jobs in our rental. YAY!?? Toys, garbage, and tons of extra S#*T in there. No worries though...Greg did an amazing job breaking it all down and taking it all out! Everything from initial inquiry, price point, scheduling, billing, and Greg's service-technician expertise, were amazing! Highly recommend Waters for your next job. read more

Do Not let these guys bill you through Escrow. They will tack on bullshit charges and charge you 2 times as much as the competition for the exact same procedures. By the time you find out it's too late, works already done because they just do whatever without prior authorization. Had these guys do some work for us when selling our house. Called local competition after receiving bill and these guys our about 2 times as much money. Also making up bogus charges as well. Talked to the owner Mr. Waters and he told me too bad, he can't control what his competition charges and if I didn't pay my bill ASAP he was going to send me straight to collections. Guy should maybe take some courses on customer service. Who charges 2 times as much as direct competition down the street and gets away with it? Very disappointed. Update: In response to your response through my wife's post since you couldn't address me directly. First of all my name is Manuel. Not Manual. 2nd of all, their were no attempts to offer any kind of remedy to our dissatisfaction with your company unless you consider " PAY US BY THE 10th OR WE WILL SEND YOU TO COLLECTIONS" an olive branch. And please, in the future If you going to offer a rebuttal of any kind, all I ask of you is to keep the facts accurate. Thank you. read more

The staff is awesome!! They have after hours service. Jeff is very knowledgeable, and if you can stand it (the smell, eeewww), he will give you a tutorial on septic maintenance. He explained everything he was doing and the cost associated with it. These guys rock! DON'T EVER LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT YOUR SEPTIC SYSTEM DOESN'T NEED TO BE PUMPED. I've heard that if you maintain it properly, you don't need routine pumping-WRONG. We learned the hard way. read more

If I could select ZERO stars, I would. This company was selected in escrow (I did not select them) and I found out later how rude and unprofessional they are. I received a random call demanding payment which is fine but I had NO idea what they were talking about. The calls escalated to direct threats while I was at work. I never received an invoice directly. These men are rude and they are bullies. There is this little thing called customer service. Again let me reiterate, I had NO idea about their bill and instead of offering me an invoice, they just harassed me. I will NEVER recommend them or come anywhere close to their company again. UPDATE: Well let's set the record straight, shall we? First of all, I signed paperwork in January while my home was in an active escrow. The escrow did not fall out until May 1, 2017. So your description of the bill being owed since January is false. You were holding this during escrow, and The escrow did not fall out until May 1. You also stated you were speaking with an agent by the name of Stephanie. That is not my agent, but you never asked me for any clarification, you just called with threats and demands. And to say that you offered in anyway is an out and out lie. You never offered anything. You called me demanding $900. I asked what for, you said I owe the money and I needed to pay immediately. You threatened me with collections. You never offered to provide me with an invoice or even remotely said anything about removing late charges. You and your company do not provide customer service. This all came about because you did not take the time to assist with this process, you threatened for payment and were rude when we had conversations. I would never knowingly do business with your company based solely on that principal. read more

This company really needs help in customer service. On the phone they are very condescending and have a real superiority attitude. Perhaps they have grown too big for their own britches. They make you feel stupid and make assumptions without facts. I would never use them again only because of Justin!!! The crews are actually very good. Sad because the people doing the work in the field will suffer when business nosedives because of him and his attitude. read more

Our septic tank backed up and I called Waters on a Saturday morning. They offered to come out then but Jim offered me directions over the phone on how we could fix it ourselves. His advice worked. Since we were happy with their free advice we went ahead and scheduled a septic flush through them. They were friendly, they got the work done (I'm no septic guru though), and they checked back with us to make sure we were satisfied. I feel like they really cared about offering great service and sound advice. I will keep as my regular septic company. read more

I just wanted to say that these guys were awesome! I called today and within 1 hour they were here to pump our septic. Greg was very nice and thorough! They saved us more than they will ever know. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Mama Gloria and Melodie read more

So...we had them pump our septic which to our knowledge went well. Unfortunately, the driver of the truck hit our gate and caused damage that needed repair. He was unaware of the fact he hit the fence, I guess it is difficult to feel in such a big truck. When we mentioned it to him he contacted his boss and we all took pictures of the damage. The company called the next day and the ball was in motion to fix our gate. They sent a repair man that works for their company and it was fixed and fixed well. I understand that accidents happen but I appreciate the fact they took full responsibility and fixed the problem quickly and professionally. I will use this company in the future! read more

John and Dillion did a fabulous job and very happy with their service! I highly recommend Water's!

Just want everyone to know that Waters is the best in Reno, hands down. I called with a huge problem, couldn't use our septic tank, I got the boss Matt, he was, and is terrific. They weren't officially open on Nevada Day, but he came out to look at the situation. The guys, Sergio, and Jose came the next day, got to work and had the job done in no time. They cleaned it all back to way it was, couldn't tell they were even here. They are all very professional, experienced, and really "the AAA+++ team".If you want the job done right, and efficiently call them. They gave me a fair price for a job very well done. I am using them from now on. I am very grateful, Thank You, Thank You!!!!! read more

Water's is an amazing company. They are able to do everything; fix minor plumbing issues as well as replacing a broken sewer line. All the employees are very professional as well. Wonderful company. read more

Had a clogged drain and called Waters to repair. They came out same day. Initial inspection required more work than anticipated and had gear on site quickly to repair. Cost was very reasonable considering extra time involved. Team was courteous and professional. I have recommended them to friends who have had had the same experience and I wouldn't use another company. read more

Jeff at Waters Vacuum Truck Service is my hero !!!!! I called Waters Truck Service and at 9:45 pm on Christmas Eve and by 10pm Jeff had called me back and after talking to me he asked if I could open my tank lid and face time with him all this on Christmas Eve. He walked us through a fix that will get us through Christmas and the weekend for them to come out Monday to pump the tank and this was all at no charge he took an hour of his time on Christmas Eve to do this. By the other reviews for you I look forward to professional service on Monday with a job well done. Again thank for living up to your website of "We Offer 24 Hour Emergency Service !" I will just say this; I wish your company would have come up first on the Google search because the other 2 companies that did, did not live up to their site. Just on a side note from Brett N's comment they quoted only $20 more (regular rate) than what my neighbor paid last week to have his septic pumped (different company) so don't let the comment "don't call if you're looking for cheap" this is the average for this type of service (in my area) and above all remember they saying You Get What You Pay For read more

Honest business with great customer service. I didn't have much experience with septic tank pumping before moving to Reno. I chatted up a Waters driver who was pumping a neighbor's tank and he took time to explain to me the basics and said pumping every 4-5 years was often a good call for a family. We scheduled a pumping and the scheduler looked up my home in their records to help me locate the lids in our backyard. He also called back to let me know that if there was excessive solids in the tank there would be an additional charge. When the truck arrived the driver was very friendly took extra time to explain what he was doing. He noted some deterioration around the outlet baffle and suggested a inexpensive fix. He thought the baffle could easily make it another 4 years however since it sounded like an easy fix I thought we should just go ahead an do it. After the pump driver left I called the main office at 330pm on a friday to schedule the work. The person I talked to said as long as it was all dug up he could stop on his way home and fix it. He collected the items he needed and was at my home by 5 and it was fixed by 530. A big thank you to the whole Waters team! read more
