This system takes the wastewater to a treatment facility, where it is filtered and cleaned so that the purified water can be delivered back into the local water supply.

Sheesleys sent Sam and Zale to fix a clogged pipe. They were both friendly and professional. They found the problem and talked me through the issues as they fixed it. I would highly recommend them and Sheesleys for their great service they gave! Service: Drain cleaning

They always answer the phone, they show up and they get the job done. No long phone queues, voicemail. When your toilet doesn't flush or water is leaking that is worth a million dollars.

They had to dig up the septic tank & clean the septic outlet filter. The crew was patient & determined. Appreciate their successful efforts.

These guys went out of their way on one of the coldest days of the year. So kind and professional, from the person who first answered my distress call, who ended up calling out the boss, who showed up on the site to roll up HIS sleeves, if that's what it took to get us the help we needed. What a crew and what a company. So grateful.

We called Joe with an emergency on a SUNDAY and he drove 1.5 hours to get to our house. He and his staff were kind and professional and they worked incredibly hard to diagnose and repair the problem with our septic system. I can't say enough good things about their service!

Our sump pump was continuously running, but not pumping water. This was a problem because our water softener, furnace and dehumidifier all put water into this sump. Not sure who to call, I did a search and recognized the name Sheesley's. The reviews were very positive, so I thought I'd call. The woman I talked to in the office was very professional and said she would definitely send a crew to fix this.

It took a couple of hours before they came, but this was actually quite fast as all of their crews were engaged on other projects. The two that came to the house were terrific. They quickly figured out the problem and commenced to replace the sump pump. After a successful installation, they monitored the pump to insure it was was doing exactly what they thought it should be doing. I was extremely happy with the service provided. I would definitely recommend them for future work.

I called Sheesly's in the morning, and by 2pm they were at my home, despite every other place I called and had no same day appts. The two men that showed up were very professional, and even cleaned up the water mess that was created by the snake. It was not a lot but the fact that they made a point to do, was not overlooked. I would recommend using them for any of the services that they offer.

The entire staff at Sheesley's are true professional's. They help you through a project that can be incredibly stressful. They showed up when they said they were going to and performed the repair in one day so that we can use the drains in the house again. The pipe was dug out, replaced and the dirt filled back in all within the same day. Thanks to Sheesley's for a job well done.

There staff was courteous when they arrived to help unclog toilets in 2 bathrooms. They were able to fix one bath but still problems with second. Said I needed to replace toilet as it was leaking. They came back four days later to replace toilet but still would not flush properly. Said they would return after weekend and I was charged a total $864.00.

Over weekend noticed the toilet was still leaking and had buckled the floor. Called early Monday and they said they would be back to fix at no charge. Came back and now they say I have broken pipe under my house and an crew would be in touch to set up appointment. They left.no charge because they did not do anything. I found the leak in toilet after they left where line feeding water to tank was loose and dripping.

They didn't even fix that. I shut the valve off believing they would be back. I finally had to call to set an appointment. I was told they'd call right back.they didn't. I called again and was told they could not help me beca their insurance would not coverthem to crawl under house. Nearly $900 spent and I'm still unable to use the bath, shower or washing machine now. They offered me no advice or help to fix broken pipe. Find another company.

I couldn't be more pleased with Sheesley's and their crew. They were professional, friendly, and genuinely cared about providing excellent service. They were here in a timely manner, respectful of our property, and educated me about the process and equipment along the way. I will definitely use Sheesley's again and recommend them to anyone in need of their services. Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you for everything!

AWFUL COMPANY! Extremely rude, unknowledgeable and unprofessional. Issue not properly addressed from the start. Brought the wrong equipment the first day, wrong pump the second day. wanted to pump septic into an exposed area. Owner Mike is a huge scammer, too! Oh, and the workers decided to light up cigarettes while trying to place a new pump. Yikes!

I had them come out less than six weeks ago for an issue with a drain and having it snaked. The issue came right back and was not properly addressed by the company. If you're looking for a good experience, please look elsewhere. However, I would highly recommend Falkowski Sewer Service, they found a mass of roots that was missed by Sheesley's and were able to correct the issue with ease, and in no time at all!

Sheesley's have been taking care of all our needs since 2001 and have always been prompt & accurate with their quotes. Cleaned the area when finished & always followed up about their service. I would recommend them for any septic needs. -Jess H

I, too, was scammed by Sheesleys. They quoted a price to pump my tank (routine maintenance). Yet, charged me $150+ more without seeking preapproval at the time of pumping. When I complained in writing to the owner, I wasn't even given the courtesy of a reply. When I complained twice to the office staff, I was repeatedly told Mike would contact me and explain.

I called 3+ times, before he finally did so. When he did, he claimed the quoted price was higher because they didn't know how big my tanks were DESPITE the fact that Sheesleys INSTALLED my Norweco system for approx. $11,000! Therefore, how is it they were unaware of the size of the system considering they NOT ONLY installed it, BUT had pumped it out just two years earlier!

Best part is, when I mentioned it to my real estate attorney, I was told that this was not the first time they had had a complaint from a client about Sheesleys charging more than what was originally quoted. If I recall correctly, I have paid Sheesleys at least $15,000.00 since purchasing my home ten years ago. For them to lack the courtesy to put their customer first or at least negotiate with their customer, speaks volumes. There are a lot of good sewer service companies out there. You're better off choosing one of them than taking a risk on this one.

A famous doctor once said that we have the plumbers to thank for our societal health-not the doctors who help us to heal us once we are sick! This is especially true of Sheesley's Sewer Service: they are prompt, they are professional, and they do for you what you cannot do for yourself. We recommend Sheesley's with highest confidence that in a moment of greatest need you will receive trustworthy service.

Probably the most rude plumbers I've ever met I needed a faucet changed in my tenants bathtub They were sarcastic and rude. Being first thing in the morning 8:45am I would expect them to have a clean appearance and not stink. They had it changed in about an hour or so without an issue and charged me almost $200 to change out a faucet that I supplied for them!

From the start, dealing with Mike Cowan and Sandy, to the very end and completion of the job with Ron, Chuck, and Mike, it has been a + ++. Needing a total replacement of my main sewer line, I contacted Sheeslys Sewer Service. All parties involved were extremely courteous knowledgeable and professional. The job was done on time and to my total satisfaction. Kudos to Ron, who could operate the equipment with a raw egg between his hand and the joysticks! My thanks to all involved on this job.
