Our home had a cesspool. It died. You can imagine: three inch baths, rationed flushes, piles of dirty laundry etc. After much research my husband found Sal. Using Sal Jacobs is like having your best friend (with all kinds of heavy equipment) install your septic. County approvals needed? Engineering survey? Tree needs to go? Sal and his wonderful team does it all. We sat in our chairs in air conditioning, drinking coffee while Sal and his men toiled in the pouring rain and then the heat.

Once they started to dig we were only without water for two hours. Any possible problem, Sal works with you, and he does all possible things to keep your costs down. We love you Sal. And we love your wonderful team which includes your wife, and all the men who've worked with you for so many years. Sal Jacobs Plumbing is gold and if you don't believe me, read all the other reviews!

I Recently bought a house and was giving the all clear that septic was in working order and a cleaning/pumping would be good for 2-3 years. Not the case for me. Four months in and I had my washer back up into my toilet and had sewage spilled into my house. I called the two closest suggestions google give and the first couldn't help and the other never called me back. I was recommended to call Sal's and they were here within the hour.

They took the time to explain the situation and answered all my questions with professionalism that went above and beyond. I had my septic pumped and line cleared. I called later in the evening and Sal took the time to answer more questions with me. I was blown away by the time he took with me again. For someone who is new to septic, I'm glad I went with this Company. They treated me like family and I will be a repeat customer for years!

My fiance and I are buying our first house and after researching many companies we decided to go with Jacobs septic services. This company has many positive reviews and their pricing is very reasonable. As first time home buyers we do not know much about having a septic system but Sal Jacobs made the inspection process easy! He took the time to explain how everything works the day of our inspection and is hands down one of the nicest people I have ever met.

He was very honest about the condition of our septic system and was truly looking out for our best interest. I love the idea of supporting a family-owned and operated company rather than a bigger corporation because I would rather give my money to a hardworking family. Sal Jacobs gave us the best customer service and I would recommend his company to anyone who is looking for septic, heating or plumbing services! Thank you so much Sal! We will definitely be using this company again in the future

I am not sure there is enough space and I know there aren't enough stars to rave about Sal Jacobs. I am trying to sell my house and I had "another" company who I will review later, fail my septic system. I KNOW there was nothing wrong with it. My grandparents owned the house from the day it was built, my grandfather was a construction plumber and so is my father who owned the house until it was sold to me.

I did a random google search and came across Sal Jacobs septic and the reviews were better than all of the others so I called! Best call I ever made. Sal was tough, reasonable, fair and on point. He said what he meant and was very sure to do everything according to the law, and he stuck to it. He called the county while we were standing right there to be sure we knew he was right. We were not doubting him, he just wanted us to know he was making a list and checking it twice.

When we told him how the "other" septic company tried to certify the system Sal took the time to explain in detail the proper way to do it. He was mad along with us. Please put your trust in Sal Jacobs! Not all superhero's wear capes, some drive septic trucks.

We had an overflow situation and I called several companies to pump out the small tank. Mr. Jacobs was able to squeeze me into their schedule and kept me informed throughout the process so I would know when the truck would arrive. Timely and professional. Quick, knowledgeable service. Highly recommend!
