Was charged $1.70 a gal for pumping. I think we were ripped off after reading some of the prices listed above. No other service was performed. However it had been over a dozen years since the tank had been cleaned.

Septic Tank Pumping for Home Sale
Amount: $625.00
Posted by: Nick001 in Gig Harbor, WA.Posted: November 14th, 2011 06:11PM
When a home with a septic is sold in our county it must have the tank (both the septic and pump tanks if it is pressure fed) pumped, and the system inspected. After 5 quotes the cost came out to over $600. This includes pumping both tanks (most quotes priced them separately), performing the inspection, and the filing fee for filing the inspection with the county. Then I have to pay $230 to the county for them to come out and look around and sign off on it. I'm half convinced that it is some big scam. The range of quotes from 5 companies totaled from $627-$652. I can't believe that 5 independent operations come up with prices within 4% of each other. The law forces us to do the pumping whether it needs it or not so we're help captive.

Complaint
Amount: $180.00

Jim Harnage,
I hope that you got some help. The first thing I would do is call the County Health Department. This becomes a public health issue if they did not pump your septic tank out properly.

Complaint
Amount: $180.00
Posted by: Jim Harnage in Valdosta, GA.Posted: May 9th, 2011 07:05AM
Type: Company: Milo
Is there a process through which I can complain about a company? The short of it is:
I called a company in March 2011. They had my authorization to pump septic without my being home.
I came home. Dirt was upset over tank so I assumed it was pumped.
Two days later septic is overflowing again. Assumed that it had not been sufficiently pumped.
Paid bill of $180.
Complained. Person came out. Said he would return and take a look why septic overflowed two days later.
Never returned.
Called repeatedly. Says he can't help us.
Wrote him.
Wrote again sent certified letter return sig nature requested.
No response.
I am disabled. Can't afford another $180.
The following is a statement on the company's web site home page at www.milosepticandtoilet.com.
Quote: We have the knowledge to provide you with prompt service and low prices. Don't ignore your septic problems, call us and we'll fix them!Unquote.
I've checked with other professionals in the industry and Milo has not performed the minimal accepted industry practices on my particular service trip. We have called repeatedly as well as written a certified letter return reciept requested asking for a return service or else refund our money again with no response therefore Milo's claim that if we call them they will fix it is false and misrepresentational. Our septic may already have been damaged and it could have been avoidable but for their negligence. At this point I prefer to have my money returned as I cannot expect Milo to represent my needs and their claims of good service now.
Thank you.
Jim Harnage
PLease help us. I don't have another $180 to call another company.

What are my options?
Thank you.
