If I could give 0 stars I would. I had a horrible experience with Lakeside Septic today. Two months ago, I had my septic tank pumped, and calling around, everyone charged ~$500 dollars and I had it done at that cost. Now I am selling my house and need a selling inspection. My realtor made all the inspection arrangements through Above Grade Septic (they have been great), including arranging ALL payment through my realtor. However, Above Grade doesn’t do the pumping needed for the inspection, but they would arrange to have it pumped and the pumping would be ~$500 max, especially given I just had

Called Lakeside Septic on a recommendation from a neighbor. The service was sound, he communicated well and let me know he was running a bit late. Rick is a professional who has been in business for years and knows how to get the job done right.

I called them to pump our septic system. The kids use way too much toilet paper and plugged the inlet into the tank. This was new years eve and I dug up the tank lid and unplugged it myself. I called them and described exactly what the situation was and was given a quote. This was an early pump out historically after about a years since last time, and I was never charged extra before by the 3-4 other companies even when it was several years. He saw exactly what I described on the phone, but wanted to upsell me on services I did not want. He said he "Only did things the right way" so if

I'm a first time customer. Found Lakeside Septic on Angie's list because of the high quality ratings. Booked Rick for a regular 3 year pumping of our septic tank, only to find out when we opened the tank, the pump had failed several weeks prior. Of course we were quite surprised. Rick's knowledge of septic systems is impressive and within a few days removed and replaced the pump, switch float, pipes and added a new alarm system, and new septic risers and lids. (Electrician had to come out to wire up alarm since the wires were not long enough). He spent extra time evaluating our drain

This is the first time I'm writing a review. I felt compelled because others need to know the extent to which this company does such a poor, inadequate, and shady job. The person who came to replace our septic tank for $800 told us that they cannot warranty the pump or the labor, and that we would need to replace it within 1-2 years. He also said that we need a $10,000-$20,000 job done to get the problem we are having solved in adequate way. We decided to just replace the pump until we could figure out the best course of action to take. After three months it broke down and our basement

Not happy! One day after getting our septic tank pumped for $600, we ran our washing machine. The water drained and backed up our downstairs toilet. Water flooded the bathroom wood flooring and entryway. Of course it was Sunday, so he wasn't available! He came out Monday and unclogged the line from the house to the tank. Of course, this was my fault for not having the tank pumped sooner! He didn't hesitate to let me know this! One day after, what a coincidence!!!! Charged us another $200 for 10 minutes worth of work!! We should have gone with A Wesco to begin with!! I feel

I would be careful about using this Company....make sure you have a written estimate not a verbal one before having them do any work! They will overcharge you!!!

Rick has always been on time, professional and helpful with our septic issues. I was relieved to have him out today and find out our concern was solved just with a pumping and cleaning of the filter. He even explained how to clean the filter myself should it clog up again. I'm very happy with the service and plan to have him back in 2 years for our next service again.

We've used Lakeside Septic frequently and had typically good service in the past. Unfortunately not today.

Contacted Rick to restore system function. Pump float and alarm float seemed to have both failed. Rick came out and pumped the tanks, installed a switch float but did not wire it up because, as he later explained, he has a heart condition and a pacemaker and has been told to do nothing electrical whatsoever. While he assured me that he told me about this when I asked him to come out I have absolutely no recollection of him saying so.

He did nothing with the alarm despite me indicating

We had an emergency on a Saturday, of course it had to be a weekend! We called around and Rick with Lakeside Septic was the one business that was able to give us a direct answer. He came out and was able to take care of our problem for a reasonable fee. We will be using his services again.

RIck was very good to deal with and did whatever he could to make this a painless and inexpensive experience. When he arrived it looked like my septic pump had died and he started looking at replacing it. I noticed some smoke coming from where the electrical line was spliced for it and he helped me temporarily bypass the splice to see if the pump actually worked. This wasn't something he had to do but he was very helpful. Turned out the splice was bad but the pump still worked so ended up spending far less to have the splice fixed vs. replacing the pump. Will definitely be using Lakeside
