Kothrade Sewer and Water is awesome. The owners are super friendly and always go above and beyond to help their customers. I can't say enough about them. I highly recommend them if you are in the need for a great sewer and water company.

Tried to hire this company to do my septic installation. After chasing them for 2 months they say sorry we are to busy and can't help you. Don't waste your time here, horrible customer service if you hire this company better hope there is no issues cause they won't call you back or try to help. Avoid at all costs, there is plenty of better ones out there.

They have pumped for us and answered questions in the past. Pam and Glen were super kind accommodating with an emergency septic back up. They helped us trouble shoot at 9pm on a Saturday, came early on Sunday, found the source of the problem and set us up to not have it reoccur. Glen even chatted with our 12 year old the whole time, teaching him everything about our septic system. . So thankful for them...they rock!
