    The positive: they were very friendly and professional to communicate with to set up the services. The bad: unfortunately everything else. A technician came to our house to locate our septic tank and pump it. Did not properly identify it, it was in a far different spot as discovered by ANOTHER company. Top Septic wanted $1750 to dig and pump it and add a riser. Top also claimed it was deeper in the ground than it actually is, hence the large quote. This quote was THREE times what we spent with the company we proceeded with.

    Response from the owner

    Kris, if we did not properly locate your tank I am very sorry. We would always rather just dig and pump on the day of than have to send out a machine. If you can give me a call I will surely reimburse your cost of the location if it wasn't done correctly. 865-599-1690

    I called first thing on a Monday morning and was able to get worked in same day. The employee, Rob, I think was his name, called and let us know he would be at our house in 45 minutes. And true to his word, 45 minutes later, he was coming up our driveway. Very professional and personable. I have no complaints. Will highly recommend.

    Response from the owner

    Thank you Kim, for the great review!

    If pumping a septic tank were an Olympic sport, Top Septic Service would be standing on the podium while the rest of us are still trying to figure out where the smell is coming from. They rolled up, faced the absolute horror show beneath my yard, and handled it like seasoned professionals in the… let’s call it “waste management arts.” No gagging, no judgment, just pure, unshakable commitment to dealing with what I can only describe as my household’s greatest shame. The process was smooth, efficient, and oddly satisfying. One minute: chaos lurking below.

Several reviewers describe fast service on pump outs. Kim called first thing on a Monday morning and was able to "get worked in same day," with the technician phoning ahead and pulling into the driveway 45 minutes later. David's clean out happened the same day too. Gina's job was the hard one: two tanks that had gone years without pumping, one lid not where anyone expected, found by digging and by a transmitter sent down the line. A preventive pump out for another customer was cleaned out in short order by Josh. Rick credits Jimi with a thorough visit.

Local Ground

Around Knoxville, the main drain-field limit is slow water movement: water leaves the soil too slowly for a conventional field to keep up. Site conditions on any one lot can differ from the map. See the Knoxville city page for the full soil profile.

Before You Call

Whether to add a riser is a decision worth settling while a crew is already on site. Top Septic Service installs risers and can locate and uncover a buried lid, so a homeowner booking a pump out can ask whether adding one during the same visit makes sense for the tank.
