This is the ONLY company you should ever call for your septic needs in Central PA…read more 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 Brandt 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. R E Fink & Sons will be my ONLY septic company from here on out, and I will recommend them to everyone. Hopefully, you read this and don't look further than them. They deserve your business and will give you an honest diagnosis and a fair price. UPDATED: I wrote the review while they were finishing up. Afterwards, I tried to give Jack a $40 tip ($20 for him and $20 for Brandt), and he respectfully refused, saying he wasn't allowed to. I pushed pretty hard too. What an amazing company!

We found ourselves in need of septic cleaning on a Saturday morning during the Covid19 pandemic…read more They got back to us within a few hours and came out 1 hour later and cleaned the septic. Much to our pleasure the price was no more than if we would have waited until Monday. The others we called wanted double the price because it was a weekend. We highly recommend and will use them in the future. Thanks R. E. Fink and Sons!
