Urke Septic and Sewer provides the most comprehensive repair and maintenance services for homeowners, businesses, and real estate professionals in Grass Valley, CA. We pride ourselves on our thorough, educational approach to septic and sewer services, and strive to create enduring solutions through the best materials and most thorough practices.

From general system maintenance, septic pumping, new installations and repairs, we have the knowledge, tools, talent, and manpower to get the job done on time, on budget, and with minimal intrusion. Often times, our customers never know there's a problem. Their septic system or sewer is buried in the yard and an "out of sight, out of mind" mentality seeps in.

We take the time to show our client how their system works, and the overall importance of proper inspection and maintenance. We use our extensive inventory of equipment to diagnose and repair any problems we may find.

We utilize the most modern, cutting-edge methods and technologies to inspect, repair, and maintain your system and educate you about the right ways to keep your sewer and septic system completely protected.
Kudos to Urke Septic Services. Recently, a family member fell ill at the same time Urke Septic Services was coming to the house for some repair work. The fire and ambulance and Urke Septic Services all showed up at the same time. Urke Septic Services' employees finished the job and went above and beyond to make sure the place was secure.

I had a difficult septic problem. I had multiple companies out who provided a very, very broad range of diagnostics and solutions - some that were completely wrong and very costly. Urke Septic finally saved the day, correctly diagnosed the problem and solved it with reasonable cost. Highly suggest Urke!

Second time pumping our septic. First time with a different company was OK. This time with Urke was infinitely better. 3 man crew, all the right gear, total professionalism.

I can not sign enough praises about this wonderful company and staff. I had an older client/seller that needed a back flow device installed in Grass Valley required to close escrow. We received a bid that was very reasonable with a senior discount to help seller financially and decided to use Urke. It took less time then they anticipated and was not as complicated as expected. Because less time was involved they reduced the bill but they didn't have to as they had bid the job. My client was so pleased to get an additional refund and completely unexpected. They absolutely did not have to but

Urke told me today, */31/17, they are no longer doing repairs on septic system. Too bad they advertise "most comprehensive repair and service for homeowner." Urke told me to check with Navo. This might save you a step.

I could not be more pleased with the service I received. Chris was knowledgeable, professional and very kind. She got my service scheduled very quickly. Brian and his coworker showed up at my home promptly and were very friendly and helpful! I'm a new homeowner and I have a lot to learn. I will definitely call on them again.

As a Realtor, it's important to me that the companies that service my clients are knowledgeable, capable, efficient, honest and fairly priced. I know I can depend on the crew at Urke Septic to provide honest and thorough inspections and, when needed, repair or replacement solutions for my clients. I trust Doug Urke and his crew 100%!

Great job. Crew arrived 10 minutes early. Got right to work. Tank had not been touched in 25 yrs. Not an easy job. They completed the job in a reasonable amount of time. The lady in the office was kind and courteous, when I called to schedule. She was clear when she explained possible pricing variations. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. And what I consider a reasonable price.

Very well regarded septic company in Nevada County. They were a big help to us when we were buying a house, a thorough inspection plus repairs of the minor problems found. They went through extra effort to do the job completely and carefully, much appreciated.

I knew we needed our septic tank pumped but was dreading the event because the tank location was buried under our backyard landscaping.... somewhere! I called Urke Septic services and they said "no problem". I said "no mess". They said "no problem".
They had a free time slot right away so I held my breath and said OK, come on over.
They arrived promptly, were very courteous, explained everything to me as I peered over there shoulder and they were done in two hours. Everything was replaced as they found it and there was NO MESS. I don't think it could
