Project: Repair a Septic System
Showed up on time * very nice to my wife * explained what they did and gave recommendations on what we should do in the future and did it in a way that didn't feel like "pressure" to spend more money.

Project: Repair a Septic System
I had suspected the septic tank had not been pumped in years. 1st choice arrived on time, pumped out the septic tank, noticed two problems, advised on suggested repair(s) returned again made the repair(s) retuned the area to the state it was found in (filled in holes in yard). All fees and estimates were as stated, no $$surprises. Good, honest, hardworking man.

John was prompt and professional. He took a lot of time to explain details of my septic drain field to me and offered me the lowest cost options first. One of his suggestions cost .75 cents! I would recommend this company to everyone.

Project: Pump Out a Septic Tank
I called Jonathan around 3:30 Thursday afternoon and he was able to be at my house that next day at 8:15am. He showed up promptly at 8:15am and was done within the 30 minutes he said it would take. He did a great job of not making it show where he had to dig up the tank cover. I have already recommended him to others! Thanks for a great job.

John came out when he said he would be there, explained in very good detail the problem and best ways to fix it. Would use again if needed.

Project: Pump Out a Septic Tank
Professional, educational, excellent response time, very informative, arrived on time, gave courtesy call, thoroughly educated me in septic preventable maintenance and came well equipped for the process. We did have to call roto-rooter afterward to slice-n-dice our clog, but we understood that it is a different service than the septic and drain snake. Jon worked quickly, efficiently, and kept his worksite clean. He was well groomed, respectful, and courteous at all times.

I'm 54 and have never given a testimonial. This may have been the best professional response and service I've ever had. From the first return call to Jon coming out to fix my system at 8:45 on a Sunday night it could not have been better.


Thank you,

Todd Stancombe


I wanted to personally extend my thanks to your team for all of their hard work yesterday. I am not sure that in today's busy world we take enough time to reach out and show our appreciation for such efforts and professionalism, but I think it is important to try. I am grateful for the combination of expert knowledge, hard work, attention to detail, technical skill, and attitude. I have worked side by side over the years with a number of teams in various projects and installations and I would be pleased to recommend your business to anyone based on my personal experiences. Not just yesterday in the field, but also in the scheduling, e-mails, phone calls, and web site information. 

We now have the confidence that our system has been not only repaired, but improved to the highest standards for quality and functionality. To a family that is very important. To a businessman that is economic security. To an engineer that is design confidence. To an artist that is…. SWEET!

I am happy to have been knee deep in the trench with such a first rate group of people. You should be proud of your service - and we are very thankful we found you on the web.

Best wishes to everyone - you are not only our first choice…but the best choice.

-Tom and Daisy Risser



We really appreciated Jon and his crew working so hard to ensure that our septic tank issues were taken care of. They inspected the tank, pointed out that our tank was never properly installed and lacked key parts to ensure the better inner workings of the septic system. They arrived right on time, they did the job for the quoted price, they explained what they were doing to us and were very polite. Never did I feel they were just out to make a quick buck. We never felt pressure to buy "extra" services. Our problem stemmed from numerous years of neglect to the system. It was a relief to know that we weren't causing the problem as our landlord had stated previously. The entire crew was friendly, attentive, and professional. I would recommend them again and will use their services when we get a house of our own. Thank you 1st Choice Septic!

We had an emergency septic issue and quickly looked online for an emergency septic company that could help us. The first number we called (whom by the way was listed as a 24 hour service) did not answer their phone.. this is when we called upon 1st choice septic. It was about 10:30 pm when a VERY helpful Erin answered the phone. I explained my situation and she spent the next 45 minutes reassuring me that I could wait until morning to have this issue addressed. Erin also spent much of that time educating me on my septic tank and why and how it works. The next morning, first thing, just as promised, Jon showed up and quickly began his evaluation of our septic problem. Jon was very thorough and very polite and also took the time out of his busy schedule to reassure me and educate me on the Septic tanks!! I have passed out many of their business cards to my friends as they are the ONLY COMPANY I would TRUST with my Septic maintenance, issues and upkeep!!!! THANK YOU Jon and Erin!!!

I as a Realtor appreciate vendors who make my clients their clients. They care about customer service to my clients and to me their most important mission. I found that particular trait with 1st Choice Septic. I highly recommend this company for that reason. They did the job on time for the quoted price and truly appreciated my business.
