    Had an urgent issue with discovering a broken main line, not only did Tidy Tank come out quickly to evaluate, but also came in $3k less expensive than an earlier quote. Everyone was professional and timely, would highly recommend!

    Response from the owner

    Thank you so much for the great review, Jill! We know how stressful an unexpected issue like a broken main line can be, so we’re glad our team could respond quickly and provide a solution at a fair price. We really appreciate your recommendation and your trust in Tidy Tank!

    I've worked with (formerly Ron's) Tidy Tank for the last 10 years for regular septic maintenance and the previous owner of this home worked with Tidy as well. The company has changed ownership over the past few years and the customer experience is poor ahead of appointments and it seems like they're trying to upsell every possible service. What costed $240 per service (going back many years with the previous owners receipts on file) is now $690 to start and an upsell on the need for a riser tank pump totaling $880.

    Response from the owner

    Arthur, thank you for the feedback and for being a longtime customer. While our prices have increased over the years due to significant increases in labor, fuel, insurance, equipment and other costs, the increase you describe does not sound like an apples-to-apples comparison for the same service. I’d genuinely appreciate the opportunity to speak with you personally, review the prior and current work, and make sure we fully understand what changed. We value your years of business and would love the opportunity to earn you back as a customer. I’ll be reaching out to discuss. - Joe, Owner

    Response from the owner

    We understand the frustration and appreciate your feedback. We’re glad we had the opportunity to connect with you and continue with your service, and we hope we were able to turn the experience around.

    Oh my gosh, under a very stressful toilet water leak, Tidy Tank was awesome sending Brenden. I could not be any happier with their service and Brenden. He explained so many things to me and was extremely patient. If you have any plumbing issue I would call Tidy Tank, you will not regret it.

    Response from the owner

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Lyn! We know how stressful a plumbing leak can be, so we're glad Brendan was able to respond quickly, take the time to answer your questions, and make the process a little easier. We truly appreciate your recommendation and your trust in Tidy Tank!

Local Ground

Around Crystal Lake, the main drain-field limit is slow water movement: water leaves the soil too slowly for a conventional field to keep up. Site conditions on any one lot can differ from the map. See the Crystal Lake city page for the full soil profile.

Before You Call

A homeowner weighing repair against a new septic installation can have Tidy Tank inspect the problem before choosing a course. One useful question is what the inspection will cover before the crew recommends installation or replacement.
