    I was given the name VAC TEC as a recommendation to do a second opinion on our septic issues. I called VAC TEC and thought that is who I was speaking with. The gal never stated they were no longer VAC TEC and now AAA Septic. I did not want to use AAA Septic because many in our neighborhood had issues with them and it was definitely recommended not to use them. I called them stated that VAC TEC was recommended to come out and do a estimate and let them know we were concerned we were being hit with things not necessary. That they had come to possibly do an inspection but stated that there were lots of repairs needed and we wanted a second opinion. She stated they could be there Monday July 8th to take a look. A man and gal showed up wearing AAA septic shirts and I was taken back because everything I had dealt with said VAC TEC. They came took a picture in each of the holes, put a pole down the one hole and were done in like 10 minutes and were going to leave. I stopped them to ask them what they thought. He proceeded to tell me that we didn't need our septic pumped at all, issue with baffle and that there was an issue with overgrowth behind our fence. I asked if there was anything needing fixed and he stated no. They left, I was later bothered by the fact they said there was an issue with baffle but didnt state what and that they didn't share it needed fixed, so I called the company and left a message for them to call me because I was concerned with what took place at the visit. I got no return call, however the next day they called my wife wanting payment for work they did. It was an estimate which if you call and ask are suppose to be free. We had people call and ask. I called health department and they let me know they filed report without our permission. I filed a complaint with the health department in regards to this. We had another company come out and fix what needed fixed. I am not paying for a service that I did not give permission for them to do,

    when I initially called I was told when having our pump repaired an after work pumping was not necessary. After three weeks and many requests they still will not provide our warranty information. After a verbal promise of warranty in writing to follow they have now decided not to provide a warranty unless we get the tank pumped again. A business who does not provide warranty in writing is not anyone to do business with. Trying to work with the office was a terrible experience. I dont have time to make follow up calls to my phone calls. Every single call required a second call. Installers left my house to go get a part and never returned and never called I waited at home several hours. I called the office to find out that they went to an emergency and would not be returning that day. After the pump was replaced we had to catch up on much needed water usage. Two days later the alarm went off again, my husband checked and they had not turned on the pump switch on the side of the house. We are lucky there was no further damage due to the more than usual water usage without it using the pump. 4 months later we got a letter from the county saying we needed the pump repaired and the report filed with the county or we will be fined. I found out there was no record of their visit to our home. When I called VacTech they wanted an additional ****** to pump again and file the report with the county. I called another company who informed they are absolutely required to file that report when the lids are removed. ******* was in a big hurry to get me a quote for the new work that should have been done the first time. total rip off and I am having another company come out for that inspection. I have had many discussion with the office manager about the service and they have not accepted any responsibility for the multiple issues.
