This company is fantastic! So knowledgeable and truly committed to customer service. Extremely helpful, excellent communicationI really cant say enough! We had a backed up septic, and they were quick to get out here and get us fixed up, and for a reasonable price too (no extra emergency charges like other companies quoted!). Good people; we will use them exclusively for septic issues moving forward. Just a side note, I guess they are NOT the same company as Durango Septic Service and Installation. That was a little confusing to me when I was first searching for septic companies today

We had a septic emergency & although they had a full schedule, they fit us in on a Saturday. Ben the owner and his son Philip were so knowledgeable and friendly. They took their time and were very fairly priced. I highly recommend them for any septic needs.
