I recommend Bell's Septic Service as well as Butler Excavating and Septic. We purchased a home in Stoney Creek in December 2020. Although we had an engineer's diagram of the septic system, the septic tank was not visible at ground level. Because we were unsure of the last time the septic tank was pumped and unsure of its location, we contacted Mike Bell. Mike came out, probed the ground with a long rod, and marked the location of where he believed the septic tank was. Because the top of the tank was more than 3 feet deep, he had Danny Butler of Butler Excavating and Septic Service come out to dig up the marked location. Danny located the exact location of the septic tank using electronic sensing equipment. Mike Bell then came back to pump the septic tank, and then Danny Butler's team came back to install risers and a cap to the buried tank so that the location of the septic tank is seen above ground level. This four-step process was completed by professional staff who knew what needed to be done, was courteous, and kept us informed throughout the process. The costs were reasonable, and we are very glad and grateful that we finally found the septic tank, had it pumped, and fixed the problem of not readily knowing exactly where the septic tank is.
