Our experience with Ericson Environmental Services was wonderful!!! We received two options for fixing our septic system problem - with a complete explanation of what could be done and the costs. An amazing amount of work was done in one day and we were contacted the next time there was a heavy rain to make sure the pumping station we installed was working properly. I would not hesitate to recommend Ericson to anyone having septic or drainage issues.
