We got several quotes and shopped around to replace/expand our septic system. Kratzer was awesome and became the clear choice. Office staff was on top of everything. Excellent communication. Project went according to contract. Angelo and Jeremy explained everything very clearly to us and were onsite for the project. We felt like they bent over backwards to really take care of our “crappy” situation. Would highly recommend and will definitely return for future needs.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful review. We’re thrilled to hear that our team — from the office staff to Angelo and Jeremy onsite — delivered the level of service and communication you deserve. We know septic projects can be stressful, so it means a lot to hear that you felt well taken care of throughout the entire process. We truly appreciate your trust in Kratzer and are grateful for the opportunity to help with your “crappy” situation. We look forward to being there for you whenever you need us in the future.
I'd like to start by saying I'm not one who typically posts reviews. Nor was I asked to do so as is often the case. For me, this called for a review.

I recently had an experience where I had an activation of the Tank Alert alarm for my septic system. Needless to say I immediately envisioned horrific things coming my way if you know what I mean. That said, I have the system cleaned and serviced regularly, I've never had a septic problem nor have I ever experienced an activation of my septic system alarm.

Although I wasn't a current Kratzer Septic Service customer, I called based upon the recommendation of two friends who are in the Well drilling and plumbing business. I called Kratzer and spoke with Stacey. Stacey was aware that I wasn't a past or current customer and stated that they were totally booked. She proceeded to say that regardless of me not being a customer, she didn't want to see anyone in that situation and would do all she could to move some appointments and get someone to my home as soon as possible.

After just a few minutes she called back and said she would have a technician to my home in an hour! It got even more impressive from there. Technicians Brian and Damon responded shortly thereafter and proceeded to check all the septic breakers, the three septic alarm systems as well as my four separate tanks (large home, large system). Soon thereafter, he ultimately diagnosed the problem and began to make the repairs.

During the course of those repairs, I suggested replacing one of the tank pumps (given that the age of the pump was unknown) as well as a upgrading to a larger aerator in another tank. Brian and Damon agreed, saying both were functioning as needed and would merely be unnecessary expenses. The fact that they didn't take advantage to "up-sell" me on was appreciated. They then proceeded to clean and service my entire system, make the necessary repairs and re-set and double check the breakers and alarms located in my basement. Lastly, they gave me a rundown on my system and educated me on what to do in the event I encounter another "septic emergency".

I cannot say enough good things about Stacey, Brian and Damon, and how they stepped up to the plate for a non-customer. I later spoke with the friends who recommended Kratzer and they weren't surprised at all. They said it's a family business that's "been around forever" with a reputation for quality service. I'm now a Kratzer customer and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your 5 ⭐review Christopher!
Well done Kratzer Septic Service!! It's a "stinky" job - but someone's got to do it - and they did it best!!! So much thanks to Kratzer for going above and beyond!

Beginning with taking the extra time to help us find our pump tank lid that was seemingly buried in our yard .... The wonderful ladies in the office (Tina and Stacy) helped us solve a mystery by locating it on google earth!! Our alarm was also going off - and they did their best to squeeze us in for an appointment that week to get it taken care of. Jeremy, the gentleman that came to service our tanks was very kind, informative and did a great job!!

Thank you Kratzer for such a professional job!! Great service, reasonable price, we are lucky we found you!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled we could help—from locating that elusive lid to getting your system back in shape. Tina, Stacy, and Jeremy will be so glad to hear your praise. We’re lucky to have customers like you!
We've used Kratzer for years to pump our septic tank. They're super friendly and efficient. It's nice to get a reminder about when it needs to be done. I highly recommend them!
Response from the owner:Thanks for sticking with us all these years. We’re lucky to have customers like you!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the 5 ⭐ review Debbie!
KRATZER WAS CALLED BECAUSE I BELIEVED MY SEPTIC TANK WAS FULL, AND IN DANGER OF BACKING UP INTO THE HOUSE. THAT TURNED OUT TO NOT BE THE CASE, HOWEVER KRATZER DISPATCHED AN OPERATOR THE NEXT DAY, AND HE COMPLETELY DRAINED MY SEPTIC TANK, INSURING IT'S READY FOR ANOTHER SEVERAL YEARS.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're glad we could respond quickly and provide peace of mind.
outstanding job thank you for helping
Response from the owner:Thank you for your 5 ⭐ review.
Kratzer employee was very courteous and knowledgeable doing his job. He checked to make sure things were working properly and finished his job. I paid the bill and helped him to pull out of the driveway, he was a very good representative of his company.

They came the very day I called.. The man was very helpful and nice. Great job!
Response from the owner:Thank you Robert for your great review!
Woke up to a backed-up toilet and called Kratzer's right away. They had someone there the same day and resolved the problem quickly and efficiently. Their pricing is competitive, and their work is impeccable. I use them for all my septic and plumbing needs. Thanks to everyone at Kratzer Septic.
Response from the owner:Thank you Carol! We look forward to working with you in the future!

Kratzer came out to pump out our septic tank and repair both baffles. Customer service was great. They arrived on time. Worked efficiently. The price reasonable and actually less than what I expected. Everything went as it should. I will definitely use them again.

We have used Kratzer ever since we moved here almost 15 years ago. Their technician was polite, informative, and efficient. The office contact handled our appointment professionally and the staff always send a reminder telling us it is time to schedule service so is not in danger of being forgotten. I would recommend Kratzer Septic Service without hesitation.

Great service and great knowledgeable people!
Response from the owner:Thank you Barry for your wonderful review!
Over Easter Weekend our septic system backed up into the tub and I emailed them and as soon as they opened on Monday morning I got a phone call and they were out the same day. They fixed my issue and the price was fair. When I first bought our house five years ago we had an issue with the septic and we needed a new system the owner worked with prices because we had to have it pumped twice a week until we could get the new system installed. I would recommend this company to anyone that has septic issues.
Response from the owner:Holly, Thank you for the great review! We are happy we were able to assist you so quickly.
Tony came out and answered all my questions and more. He was so personable and very nice!
Response from the owner:Nicole, thank you for your nice review!
Very good customer service. They were able to understand and adapt to my needs as customer thank you
Response from the owner:Thank you Roberto for your wonderful review! Please keep us in mind for future needs.
