Vendor Review A Bell Excavating Inc. Puyallup, WA

I have been working with a buyer on a bank owned property in Puyallup for the past few weeks. We are in the part of the buying process where the septic system needs to be inspected, pumped, and verified that is working correctly. The seller of the property had the opportunity to select the vendor to conduct the O & M certification. They selected A Bell Excavating. I am certainly glad that they did. Working with Greg Apple was a very pleasant experience. We had a couple of challenges that were quickly determined and alternative resolutions suggested and implemented.

Drawing of a Septic Tank

One of the tanks for the septic system was located under the sidewalk next to the home. Greg called and was clear on what our options were allowing us to make a decision that made sense in our situation. The tanks also needed risers installed to eliminate the need to dig down 2 feet in the soil to expose the tank openings.(the next time service was needed) The quote given for the risers was very fair. There was no pressure the facts were presented and whatever my clients decision was the company was happy to do as requested. The work was completed quickly, clean up was great and my buyer is now a very happy person. She commented that the area was cleaned up and looked great. The sidewalk removal was minimal and the area will soon have grass growing and we will never know they were there.

If you are looking for anything related to septic systems in the Pierce County area I would suggest you contact A Bell Excavating at (253) 896-0043. My experience was great. I will not hesitate to recommend them in the future.
