Dear Ronnie,
You were awsome today. Your willingness to respond on a holiday weekend was a life saver. We really appreciate your patience, politeness and understanding. The fact that you took the time to explain in detail to multiple people the workings of septic systems was cool. Your knowledge of not only your job but state and federal regulations shows your dedication to your work. I especially liked how you looked up county records and knew more about this system than I.
The care you took bringing in your equipment to not damage trees and only digging up what you needed to preserve the property and not hurt our mother earth. Your over the phone quote was spot on and options to lower the bill is appreciated. I can’t tell you the last business I dealt with,with great customer service like yours. Your positive attitude, care, concern, patience, and honesty speak volumes of you as a person. You surely saved our weekend gathering and I’m sure my aunt Maja (home owner) will be pleased when she finds out. Thanks to you I now know more about poo, enzymes and bacteria than I ever did before. Many blessings and many thanks.

Darren,
It was really no problem at all. I enjoyed your family’s company and
kindness. Also know this. In the eight years I have been driving a septic
truck, I have never had anyone Ever walk my truck all the way out to the
road as you did. I really appreciated that, and it made second job, truck
driver, so much easier.
Thanks a million,
Ronnie
Happy Memorial Day.
I have been knocking this idea around for a few days. I want to show my appreciation for those who serve. But didn’t want to do one of those cheesy Memorial Day Specials. I really want to make a difference in a Senior Veteran’s life. My way of saying thanks for their, and their family’s sacrifice.
With that in mind. Please forward this post. Someone knows of a Senior Citizen Veteran, on septic, that needs serviced. First Call Septic would be honored to service them, entirely, for free. Just one though. I wish I could help everyone. But I cannot afford to lose my business. So with that in mind, I ask my facebook fans to find a senior citizen, in the Clark County Area that desperately needs septic work. My company is willing to do this entire service for free. Inspection/pumping/labor/discharge fees/filing fees/sales tax for absolutely nothing more than some old military stories and coffee. Heck, I’ll even bring the coffee.
Please let this post spread like wild fire. Post it on every wall you can, until we find a Senior Veteran.
Thanks so much, and God Bless,
Ronnie
It’s been a busy two weeks. I have photos and stories to share. I will try to get them on this weekend.
I can’t believe how busy it’s been. Considering it’s spring break and all. Got a great workout yesterday, a homeowner has a septic tank that was 3.5 feet down. Took an hour and 10 minutes to excavate by hand. Good times. I slept well last night.

Well, Snow destroyed the schedule again. I had to reschedule my first job till Monday. Thank goodness I have caring and understanding customer’s who have, or have had, kids. Because Battle Ground Schools are running 2.5 hours late, preschool’s been cancelled. My rescheduled customer today told me she totally understands. She was there too, and now I am doing my time. She was so funny. I just love my customers.

Below are two video’s of a septic tank that went 25 years before septic pumping maintenance. When a tank is completely full of solids, and that’s about 200 cubic feet of NOT mud, it’s extremely difficult to remove. And expensive. A septic pumping should take about 20 minutes.
A neglected system, such as this one, takes about 3 hours. And a lot of back breaking work, and we have to add a lot of water. Our trucks cannot haul solids by themselves. The trucks need water to carry the solids to our trucks. It’s hard on our trucks as well. That is why it is so expensive. Plus we have to repair any damage done to the drainfields.

The restrooms are ready at the ape caves. The building next to my truck says Ape Headquarters. It was a nice drive up Mt. St. Helens. Supposed to be partly cloudy today. Don’t forget flashlights and sweaters and jackets.
Have a great and safe holiday,
Thanks for reading.
