After needing our septic tank pumped out after 2 years we called this company after seeing their good reviews. We called them on a Monday and they did not come out till Friday. Once they were done on Friday we assumed that they pumped everything out of the septic tank, but come to find out this weekend our septic tank backed up and flooded our master bathroom. We called a different septic tank company and they informed us that Akins did not pump everything out of the septic tank. If you need your septic tank pumped I'd recommend calling a different company.

I would have rated 10 stars if yelp would allow! Wow, what a great company! Answered the phone on a Sunday for a non-emergency call to get a quote. Helped me then but asked very politely and professionally if I would mind calling in Monday to schedule. I called Monday and found everyone to be awesome, fast and friendly. Scheduled service for a few days later. Got the phone call enroute before my appointment window and was kept in the loop along the way. Glen was the gentleman that did the work.

Super helpful, super effective and efficient. As luck would have I had 2 broken / leaking showers, couldn't afford both repairs today but Glen was amazingly helpful with some advice on priorities and we got one completely repaired and functioning beautifully. Could NOT have asked for or created a better customer service experience! Thank you, thank you, thank you Glen and Akins Plumbing. You have earned a repeat customer in me!

Simply requested a quote for a camera line inspection on a sanitary pipe. Their site stated they will reply within 24 hours. I requested 6-19-19, it's now July 1st. Don't recommend due to just first impression unprofessionalism.

This company is by far the best in the business they came out found my issue which three other plumbers couldn't diagnose at all they fixed the issue and also was helpful with my insurance adjuster on helping me get invoices over and being very descriptive on they're pricing

It took me 3 months researching before I decided to have Akins pump my septic tank. I am so glad I chose them. The price quoted was what I paid and my service guy was Nick. He was extremely friendly and informative. This was the first time I have went through this so he took the time to explain everything he was doing and had no problems answering my questions. You hear so many horror stories people go through from other companies so I am glad to know I chose the right company the first go round. Thanks!

Very pleasant tech showed me all I needed to take care of my tank after nick serviced the tank will for sure use again.
