What Our clients Say

Excellent5.0★★★★★ Based on 135 reviews from review us onHope MarhoferHope Marhofer ★★★★★ We just brought our home in White lake and called Watkins Septic and Drain to come out to clean our septic tank. Because we did not know that last time the previous owners had it done. Not only was the visit educational they were honest and gave information to us about the last few cleanings. Amazing customer service. Will only use Watkins Septic and Drain going forward. I appreciate your company and your service tech. THANK YOU for the amazing service!Larry MarhoferLarry Marhofer ★★★★★ If I could give them more I would, Jared came out to clean our tank and said that he was just here a year ago with the previous owner and just inspected the level and said we were good. I'm sure this isn't an everyday occurrence but for us it was. Thank you for being honest when this crazy world isn't always honest. We will be calling them back next year to clean and inspect our system again per his recommendation.Anna RodriguezAnna Rodriguez ★★★★★ Highly recommend! I was able to get a same day appointment, and I could not ask for a better company to come out and drain my septic. Knowing what I know now about my septic system, I won't be trusting anyone else! Thank you Watkins!!Fay WalshFay Walsh ★★★★★ The entire Watkins team was amazing! I left a message first thing this morning, and had a return call within 15 minutes. Carly answered all my questions and shared all the information I needed. She was even able to schedule service in the same day! Jared explained everything before, during and after the process, which was a huge help since I wasn't very familiar with how it all worked. He was done within an hour or so. I cannot thank Watkins enough for their excellent customer service, expedited scheduling and the overall experience. We will definitely refer our friends and family to you, and look forward to having you back out in a couple years.Sasha HeindelSasha Heindel ★★★★★ Jared came by our home for a cleaning and he was amazing. It is the dead of winter with tons of ice and snow and a very precarious septic tank location. He cleaned it with precision and care. We can't recommend Watkins Septic enough! Thank you so much Jared!Ryan SwaneyRyan Swaney ★★★★★ Joe came out the same day we called and was able to identify our problem and come up with solutions. He was honest and did the job at a fair price. Carli was very helpful scheduling and being transparent about cost and timing. They are knowledgeable and honest. Highly recommended.David DicksDavid Dicks ★★★★★ Sub zero temps, move into a new house and wake up with plugged drains. I called 5 services before I found Watkins. Came out in sub zero temps. I didn't have risers so they advised me to thaw the ground. I chose charcoal for over a day. Jared and Joe came out and fully emptied the tank and cleaned out my drain lines in sub zero temps. Best service of my life. Watkins is now my Septic service for life. Here's pic after risers installed/dirt back in and what I had to do to thaw the ground since I didn't have risers.Chris M.Chris M. ★★★★★ Joe was great. Fast, neat and helpful. Pointed out things another company missed or didn't care enough to tell me. Excellent service. Will definately use again.Ryan SzparaRyan Szpara ★★★★★ Joe came out at 5pm on a Friday, 2 days after Christmas, in the rain to pump our septic (that was full)! Not only was he quick, he did a great job and was super nice. Great work, great communication and a great price for the work. Definitely recommend!! We’ll be using Watkins Septic again for sure, and will recommend to family and friends! I would give more than 5 stars if I could! Thanks Joe!GreinerGreiner ★★★★★ Great family owned business!! Very responsive, fair prices, and they educated me on my system. I purchased septic risers and they custom cut the size and everything worked out perfectly. Highly recommendedmax larsonmax larson ★★★★★ Had them come out for septic clean out and riser install.They were fast and communicative.Jared was the technician that pumped our septic he was great and personable and a very happy guy. The riser install was the next day and was performed by the owner of the company he was great and personable as well. The riser was installed quickly.Dylan CollinsDylan Collins ★★★★★ Our alarm on our septic tank was going off due to a faulty pump in the pump chamber. Originally had called over 10 other companies and not a single one called me back except Watkins. Came out told me exactly what was needed, removed the old pump, installed a brand new one and took care of the problem in a very timely manor. They are very knowledgeable, very respectful and always put their customers first. I will never call another company again for my septic tank needs. If I could give them more than a 5 star rating, I 1000% would!!!! Highly recommended!!!!Brandy CamireBrandy Camire ★★★★★ Thankful they were able to squeeze me in for emergency service when my toilet stopped wanting to flush. Sucked out my septic. Grateful I decided to call them since they were able to jet out my pipes that were clogged also. A bit pricey, but I'll take it after an 80% sludge filled septic.William ArchambeauWilliam Archambeau ★★★★★ Came out on short notice to pump tank and hydrojet clog in main line.Appreciate the quick response. Highly recommendMarty PerpichMarty Perpich ★★★★★ Very happy with the service. From start to finish including Carly in the office. Great Job!!

I will be using Watkins again.William GrimaWilliam Grima ★★★★★ I've used them in the past and they were great. However, the last two times I've tried to schedule maintenance, they've failed to call me back after submitting a request online and leaving a voice message. **Update**. Received a call from the owners and found they responded promptly. This oversight was my fault. Check your spam folder folks.Robert EschrichRobert Eschrich ★★★★★ They are wonderful, my tank was full and coming out the lid I told them this and they came out that day, they used a mixer while sucking the tank out ( I've had others not use a mixer and it didn't get as cleaned) I will definitely use them againJason KingJason King ★★★★★ Watkins are amazing! Very responsive and great to work with. They have helped me immensely over the last few months. Would highly recommend.Tyler WaechterTyler Waechter ★★★★★ This company is awesome!!

Don’t go to roto rooter or anyone else!Michelle BooneMichelle Boone ★★★★★ We have now used Watkins Septic twice and we will not be using anyone else! Joe, the owner, is very friendly and professional. He always fully explains any issues that may be at hand while cleaning.
