"Serviceman was polite and courteous"
I called Suburban Sanitation Service, Inc's. Canton office and they were quick to come out and analyze the problem with the leach field. Being that it was winter time and the ground was pretty frozen and covered with snow they were still able to quickly figure out what was going on. They were polite and courteous and professional at all times. I specifically dealt with Jon Carroll who was always punctual and very responsive to my concerns. The work was completed in a timely fashion. The work was done by a very competent crew and I was pleased with my experience with them. I was spending a good hunk of change but felt comfortable in doing so.

"A great company!!"
Nearly two years after our leach field was replaced by Suburban Sanitation one area sunk a bit and water accumulated on the surface. When I contacted Mark from Suburban he fixed the problem without hesitation or cost to me. A great company!!

"Five start service!"
Five start service! We have lived in our house for 23 years and always used the same sanitation service from our town. We decided to change to Suburban Sanitation on a whim and it was the best decision we made. My husband dug up the one tank cover that we have always had pumped and off to work we went. Imagine our surprise when we came home from work and found the printed paperwork stating that the driver had gone to our town hall, looked up the original permit for the septic and obtained a diagram for not only the first tank, but the second tank we didn't even know about! Then the driver dug up the dirt from the second tank for us and pumped out both. The paperwork left contained copies of the permit and the tanks location and diagram. And all the services that were checked. We were so impressed I called to compliment them and am leaving this review-Excellent service!!!

""reliable, professional septic service company""
For over 16 years I have relied on Suburban Sanitation to maintain my septic system. Their recommendations and careful handling have made my already aging septic system operate at peak performance. Both the field associates and inside team have always been very friendly yet professional, honest and hassle-free to deal with. Suburban Sanitation specializes in all things septic including system installations, maintenance, restorations and a whole lot more. If you are looking for a reliable, professional septic service company, I would highly recommend Suburban Sanitation Services. You will not be disappointed.

"Would recommend their services to anyone without hesitation"
To say we were overdue to have the septic tank pumped would be a tremendous understatement. Although the job was difficult, John was professional, polite, and left the system nearly as clean as the day it was installed. I will definitely use Suburban Sanitation for future services and would recommend their services to anyone without hesitation.

Exceptional service, within an hour John B. who operates the H&M truck was at my house and had me back to normal (emptied tank and inspected), very professional, and courteous. I will definitely keep their phone number for my service requirements.

"Have been using SSS for over 12 years!"
The cover was cracked and falling apart when he removed the dirt. he call his boss and by the time he was finishing up his boss was there with a new cover. Normally $65.00 but the boss told him No charge. We have used this company from the time we moved in 12 years ago. He also mentioned that all septic tank owners should not empty discharge from water Softeners (Salt) because the salt would damage the tank, only use single ply paper for the bathroom, and never clean paint equipment of brushes in the sinks. the paint gets into the leach fields plugs them up. Just wanted to pass that on.

"Will now we a repeat customer"
I was asked to call Suburban Sanitation around 7:30 a.m. on the day they were scheduled to pump and inspect our septic tank for a four hour window. Before I had a chance to call, the truck was at our house. The driver was very courteous and professional. He had the tank pumped and inspected in about 45 minutes. I will be using them in the future.

"Timely Arrival"
Two servicemen arrived right on time, located my tank quickly, and pumped/inspected it. I was curious about the process and they were great at explaining everything they were doing and why. Excellent experience. Price was fair, and I will certainly use them again.

"Emergency Pump Out"
In a matter of minutes, our downstairs bathrooms had backed up and overflowed. It had been over a year since I had had the system pumped but had been told we could go two years. Anyway, it was an emergency and these two gentlemen responded when I could not get my regular company to respond. They arrived when they said they would, told me what they would do to see what the problem was and then fix the problem. They told me prices and how long things would take. We were very pleased.

""Polite, extremely friendly and professional""
Incredibly great service! Polite, extremely friendly and professional. Not only did they arrive early, which was a plus, they left the area where the tank cover was NEATER than when they got there! I very highly recommend them!

"Beyond my expectations"
We needed to have the leach field of our 1955 cape replaced because it had failed and was leaving the backyard a wet mess. We were very worried because this property is where my very elderly mother in law and her live in caretaker reside. We wanted the leach field fixed but were worried about disruption. All I can say is Mark from Suburban Sanitation simply took care of the problem. He handled everything in an extremely professional manner (even impressing the health department inspector with his knowledge). Everything was completed beyond my expectations! I couldn't be happier.

"Will Definitely Use SSS Again"
Suburban Sanitation came out to my home for a routine cleaning and inspection of the septic tank. They had a map of where the tank could be found before they came to the house and they completed the work on the day they promised. They called me afterward to let me know that all was fine and they would send me a reminder card when it's time for the next check up.

"Extemely Helpful"
My septic tank was over flowing. I called SSS and the lady on the phone was extremely helpful and took the time to explain what might be happening in my particular situation. She even took the time to get details on my septic system that were filed with the town. She setup an appointment for me and the crew came out right on time. Some workers tend to shy away when the homeowner is present and is interested in what is going on, these guys were polite and explained what they were doing, how I could prevent the problem and good general practices for my particular septic system. The price was fair and competitive. I would highly recommend this company. Additionally their website is top notch, which I also find important in todays internet based market place.

Septic Tank Cleaning

For 61 years, Suburban Sanitation Service has offered fast and reliable septic tank cleaning in Connecticut. The septic system is an onsite sewage treatment and disposal system buried in the ground. A septic system consists of a septic tank and a soil absorption area. On average, we recommend a septic tank cleaning in Connecticut every two to three years. The frequency depends on the home’s occupancy and the level of usage. If a garbage disposal is utilized in your home, than your septic tank should be cleaned more frequently. Cleaning your septic tank regularly will not only prevent inconvenient backups into the home, but prolong the longevity of the septic system. For your convenience, we will send you a reminder card when it's time to have your tank cleaned.

Septic System Maintenance Tips:

  • Clean your septic tank regularly based on the recommended frequency.
  • Have the baffles inspected at time of your septic cleaning.
  • Repair any dripping or leaking plumbing fixtures within the home to prevent flooding the septic system.
  • Divert roof drains and any surface water drainage away from septic system.
  • Do not allow vehicles or heavy equipment to drive over or park on your septic system.
  • Do not allow backwash from any water treatment systems to enter the septic system.
