Shoffner Construction & Excavating and J. L. Martin & Sons Septic Service, York PA

I was given a verbal estimate over the phone to fix a section of sewer pipe that it wouldn’t be any more than a certain amount. At the time of an on-site estimate, they had raised the amount $150.00. Upon, completion of the job and never notified nor communicated with, my final invoice was $575.00 more than the original estimate. I guess the “professional” word is no longer valued.

This is the first home we have owned with a septic system. The tank alarm sounded off one evening. After some research, I called a company out to check, and pump out the tanks. After a major issue was discovered during the cleaning, I needed to call a professional. After reaching out to 3 different companies, J L Martin & Sons responded promptly. (Never did hear back from the one place, and the other reponded to my urgent message weeks later). Brett was thorough in his planning, and communication with us throughout the process was appreciated. Although there was a hickup in communication with the final tank placement, Brett provided a solution and delivered as promised. I feel confident with the completed work, and will use their services in the future.

I can’t say enough great things about Brett and his entire team at JL Martin & Sons. From the first phone call with the office staff getting everything scheduled all the way to the crew that came out to do the work, it was all absolutely top notch.
Our system was in need of serious overhaul and repair largely due to the poor quality of work done by the previous septic contractor. When we called JL Martin & Sons and explained our circumstances Brett came out the same day and evaluated the situation and gave us a full breakdown of what we needed. The price that was quoted was very reasonable considering the extensive work that was needed and the job was completed with the highest level of professionalism and quality! I couldn’t be happier with the work. It’s a relief to know that there are still companies like JL Martin & Sons that value honesty and integrity all while providing A+ level service.
JL Martin & Sons will be the only company we use for all our future septic service needs!

Great service, performed in a timely manner, family run business that we would support again!

Septic tank pump out and inspection.
Tanks were pumped out, the high level float mounts (plastic and in good condition previously) were busted off and float was left hanging further down in the drain field tank. A few days after service I get a high tank level alarm. Too bad for them, I made the repair myself. Seems fishy to me that after using their service for 10 years, an issue like this arises when the company changes hands.
