CLIENT REVIEWS

TESTIMONIALS

Roberta E. McCard

Called the 24 hour emergency services phone line. Jerome answered all of our questions and provided information about scheduling next day services. Called at 7:00 a.m. - had a gentleman out to service the home by 8:45 a.m. Clogged filter. Appreciate Jerome for his guidance and assistance and to the person who came to service the system. Maintenance plan was renewed!

Response from the owner:We're glad we could help with your septic situation, Roberta! Thanks for giving us five stars.

Jessie Gomez

Had my septic pumped and had tank caps installed. Their turn around time was great and Timmy (who installed the caps) was fantastic! Not only did he do a stellar job installing the risers without issue, but he also took the time to use the grass that was dug up and lay them around my yard, as well as neatly add the extra dirt back into my flower beds.

Response from the owner:Jessie, your review made our day! Thank you for describing the quality work that Timmy provided for your septic tank as well as his conscientious care for your entire yard. We pride ourselves on taking great care of our customers, so we hope you'll give us a call back whenever we may be of further assistance.

Leslie Trickey

Chris was early to the appointment, professional, very knowledgeable and courteous. I would highly recommend this company.

Sean Walter

I had Ron and Tim over today to assist. I have always said its how you address little things that makes a loyal customer. These Gentlemen have made a customer of me while i have this house. They go above and beyond and are truly interested in taking care of a problem.

Response from the owner:We couldn't be happier to hear this feedback, Sean! Thank you for sharing how impressed you have been with Ron and Tim's exceptional service, and rest assured that we will continue to provide this same level of outstanding care going forward. Give us a call anytime!

Troy Ballantine

Second time using Averett. Technicians Josh and Chris were very prompt, took their time to answer all of my questions, showed me what they were talking about at the tank, and did the job quickly of pumping my tank. Bad news is I need a new drain field which I sadly was expecting. Good news is the septic tank is in "real good" condition. Time to get a drain field replacement quote :-).

12/10/25 - Don't see how I can add another review so editing. I went with Averett's quote for my new drain field. Kmart, Alex, and James came out today and installed my new drain field. They did a great job, were on time, took the time to answer any questions I had (it was interesting to watch), and completed it in the day it was scheduled. Thanks!

Response from the owner:That’s what we love to hear! Thanks for trusting our team!

Official Joker

Great people super helpful, hard to find a reliable company nowadays I’d like to give a special thanks to Kaleb again man.

Response from the owner:Thanks for giving us five stars! We appreciate your feedback.

Nathan Ramsey

I had risers put in flush with the ground. Tim, the guy that did the installation was great. He went above and beyond and explained some things to me that were very educational.

Response from the owner:Nathan, we are delighted to hear of your recent installation and Tim's above-and-beyond assistance! Thank you for choosing us for your septic system needs and for sharing this great feedback today.

Paul Rippeth

Averett Septic Tank Company was very polite and punctual. I want to call out Alex Jordan. I schedule an appointment, and Alex came to Lake Placid to evaluate a picture I sent them of my driveway septic tank cover. Alex immediate diagnosed and determined a corrective action to get my tank pumped!
His contacts and resources were a great help! On Monday, a young healthy man (I think his name is Josh) came to my place and removed the 3/4" metal plate that Alex procured to pump my tank.
My tank was a mess; it hadn't been pumped in over 20 years.
I highly recommend Averett Septic Tank Company, Alex and Josh! I would have added some photo; Josh took a bunch for my file.

Response from the owner:We're glad we could help with your septic system, Paul! We appreciate your kind review.
