Ericson Environmental Services

Hired Ericson twice. First experience was great but pricy. Tank had filled above the pipe so while others I called were only charging $350, Ericson answered the phone that evening and had someone out next day. I was quoted $450 on the phone, charged $650. This was on 9/3/26. By 9/28/26 my tank had filled again so figured a jet was needed. Called Ericson back, next day service. The techs figured the out pipe was where the jet was needed. The hose only went in 6 feet then hit a "blockage." Nothing more they could do, no jet. Charged $350 for a jet. They offered to drain the septic again for another $650 but would not fix the issue. Dug ourselves that evening and found out the techs were hitting a T junction, not blockage. My issue with the service is the techs called the owner who said they had spent too much time on a $650 clean out and needed to leave. In one month, I've spent $1,000 with them, have the same issue I started with and been told my job isn't worth the time.

First of all, they called me immediatelly after I went on the website and scheduled an appointment for the very next day, a Saturday no less! They even gave me a call the day of to let me know when they would be coming. Jim came and he was friendly and respectful. He told me from the beginning what was going on which I appreciated. Jim did the job and I was extremely satisfied.

Prompt , courteous and good to work with.

Ericson Environmental fixed our leach bed in July and previously serviced our system for three years. The service and repairs have exceeded expectations, these guys are second to none, you call them and they are efficient in answering and returning calls. Thanks Ericson Environmental!

I cannot give this company, and Rick Bauman, enough praise!! I have been plagued with complete septic system issues, inside and outside, for years. I've had several people out to look at it, most of who left without offering a solution, and one who offered a partial/bandaid solution for which I paid a lot of money. I had an epic fail in February, and Eric came out and was reassuring right from the moment he looked at everything. He clearly knew what he was doing, had sincere and ready and full solutions to offer right away, and within a week my decades of septic nightmares were gone. He was very professional, the price was right, and the entire experience was stress-free. This is a huge improvement in quality of life!! Thank you, Ericson Environmental and Rick Bauman!!

Also helped with drain tile issues and other issues. The best company!

quick and efficient, highly knowledgeable.

Work was excellent, very knowledgeable about our system

Rick from Ericson ES was professional and knowledgeable as expected. He provided some guidance on living with a septic system. Cost to have the septic drain was expected. I would recommend Ericson ES to friends & family.

I called at 4pm, and Rick said he had just finished a job and could come over to work on my system today if I wanted. Yes, our septic was completely backed up, so the sooner the better. Points there for being available right then. The quote I received was higher than I was expecting, but I was eager to get it taken care of, so asked him to come out for a tank pump, a backflow flush, and a leach field backflow check. What started as a simple pump out the septic tank turned into more. Things appeared to be working fine after pump, but then the water flow dropped to a trickle and started backing up in the shower. Rick jetted the line, but because it is an old house with 4 branches to the main sewer line, and the line causing the problem was branching at a sharp angle, causing a natural clog spot, the jetting wasn't cleaning it out. Rick went down into my basement, and from there into the crawl space under the house to get to the offending pipe. There is an access spot there, so he unhooked the pipe and manually poked all the clogging crud out. I then ran water down the bathroom drain to make sure it was completely flushed, which it was. While there, Rick pointed out a spot in the 50 year old plumbing where the pipe was rusting out, leaking a bit. He suggested we get that fixed sooner rather than later, because it would likely block again at that spot. He gave me a quote to replace several feet of sewer pipe. I know next to nothing about septic systems, and Rick was a wealth of information about what to watch for and how to take care of it. The bad news is that because Central Ohio is pretty much under water from the precip that won't stop, my leach field is flooded, and some ground water is coming back into the tank. If there are any issues with the leach field, we can not check it out until the weather dries out, if it ever does. As a result, we will probably need to have the tank pumped frequently to avoid problems in the future. This ended up being a 2 hour 15 min job, not a quick pump. Rick was thorough in testing out our aging septic system, making sure it was all clear, and chasing down the clog spot under the house. Then pointing out the bad pipe that will cause us problems in the future. That is "would cause". We intend to hire him to replace that aging sewer pipe. So while I probably could have gotten a simple pump cheaper, for all the extra work and thorough check, and immediate service, I felt the price was well worth it. You pay for quality. I certainly recommend this company.
