I run Sierra Christian Camp in Posey California. I have called on Rescue Hero Plumbing and Pumping several times. I have needed their services for septic, plumbing, and issues involving our propane. Always a fair price and their service is second to none. This is why they are the only company I call when the situation requires a professional hand.

Our septic system was backing up the night before. Called them early this morning and had an appointment available that same day. Bradley and his partner showed up. Bradley was extremely helpful and took the time to explain how a septic system works. I appreciated the time he took to explain this to me without feeling rushed. They pumped the tank and used acid in pit. They completed the job quickly and placed the grass back as best they could. Very clean and professional service. Thank you.

Why Septic Tank Certification is a Must-Have

Whether you are a buyer or a seller, a septic tank certification provides critical peace of mind. For sellers, a recent certification can increase property value and appeal, as it assures potential buyers that the system is in good working order and won’t require costly repairs right after purchase.

For buyers, a certification protects you from acquiring a home with hidden septic problems, which can be an expensive liability. Our comprehensive inspection goes beyond a simple visual check; we open the tank, check sludge levels, and evaluate the entire system for any signs of failure or damage, such as cracks or leaks.
