Very good, highly recommend, on time, fair price, very knowledgeablePosted on Google Joey69Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of Doing business with Sanford CT Septic & Construction last spring when I needed an entire overhaul on my septic tank, and bad pipes leading into the house. My entire property was beginning to garner a foul smell which grew worse as the days went on. I was nervous because it was my very first time encountering this problem and I had no clue on how to fix it myself. All mainstream plumbing companies that I came across on the internet were quoting me a friggin fortune to fix everything. THANK GOD a friend referred me to Alan and his company!! If it weren’t for him I shudder to think what would have become of my backyard. From the first time I called the company, every step of the way; I was treated with respect and felt like my concerns were actually received and heard. I was given cost friendly options for the construction and replacement, and Alan fully explained to me what he was going to be doing to fix my problem and how he was gonna do it. I wish all businesses and companies were run with such integrity and professionalism. I can’t even put into words how much these guys have saved my property and most importantly my bank account. THANK YOU Sanford CT Septic & Construction!!!!!Posted on Google Joanne AylottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Alan came to the rescue when our family needed a septic tank replacement. He was professional, prompt, and extremely detail-oriented. He even took the time to fill a few low spots in our yard at no extra charge, which really shows the level of care he puts into his work. He told me he strives to treat every customer's yard as if it were his own. We received multiple quotes, and Sanford CT Septic & Construction offered the best price and fastest availability. If you need septic tank replacement, excavation, or site work in Connecticut, I highly recommend them!!!!!

A properly installed and maintained septic tank can often last several decades. Its lifespan depends on the tank material, soil conditions, usage, maintenance, and overall condition.
