Services
We've been pumping septic systems longer than any other provider in the Snohomish, Skagit, Island, King, and Whatcom counties of Washington state. Let's face it, your septic system is probably not something you think about too often. It's simply something that's supposed to work - out of site and out of mind!
Today's septic systems are more complex, more temperamental, and need more attention in order to function properly. This inspection will allow the seller a chance to bring the system back up to operating standards prior to changing the title. Full Disclosure is of the upmost importance from a realtor's perspective and a septic system inspection reveals much about one of the most expensive components of the home.
If you're planning to install a septic tank system then you're going to need an expert team to help. We can help you by making sure you avoid costly mistakes that come from not being aware of local codes, issues with soil types, and improper allocation of materials or installation methods. Septic drain fields, also called leach fields or leach drains are used to remove contaminants and impurities from the liquid that emerges from the septic tank.
Do you have a septic system and are experiencing slow water drain from your shower, bathtub, sink or other areas? You may need ourseptic pumping services! If you experience slow fixture drains or gurgling noises in your drains, do not ignore them. These are normally the first signs of problems. If you notice that the sink, bathtub or shower is slow to drain, it may be something that can be fixed easily or the start of a serious problem.
There is no way to anticipate an emergency. The best possible way to prepare for such a situation is to maintain your septic and plumbing systems. Some simple things can be done daily or periodically to ensure an unclogged septic tank. Undiverted rain water can drain into the septic tank, filling it, if the septic tank is not sealed properly.

My first exposure for a septic pump with Beau went very well.
My second a year later with Dan who they said would come with a camera to determine if my septic and drainfield were salvageable went great untilDans arms were just a little to short to reach into the pipe to give me the report after videotaping. Cost $325 and I specifically asked exactly what would be done and camera was a selling point in making me hire them
He told me he'd have to bring digging equipment so he'd be lower to the opening but that way even though another $630 in addition I'd know for sure if I was looking

We've wasted many years and money with these people. I'm embarrassed to say we fell for the maintenance program. It just kept getting worse because they got lazy when it came to us because now they know we were gullible. We now have a new company here letting us know the pump that AA put in was not right for our system. It's sad that we didn't connect the dots when the house actually came with a septic company. . And it's sad that our neighbors need to know how to turn our septic alarm off just in case we're not home. And my husband gets nervous me having my lady friends

They came to pump my septic system and that first interaction was good and the tech was explaining the system and it's functions. He expressed some concern with the draining aspect of our system and requested a tech to come try to scope our system to make sure all was good and would be a complimentary service. The second tech came out to do the scope and began to dig down to the drainfield pipe but was unable to to due to some roots. He gave up and said we should be receiving a call or email to follow up on his discoveries and our next plan of action. We heard nothing from anyone and started digging

I hired them less then a year ago to do routine septic pumping. Now that the weather is starting to turn and I'm spending more time outside I have been noticing a lot of drain flies on the side of my house, very unusual. Examining our septic I noticed 2 of our riser cap lids were not installed correctly. The technician stripped out 2 of the 4 screws on each cap needed to fully install them. Instead of replacing them they just left it. So basically there was never a good seal which can allow for things to escape in and out. When I called them to have someone come out they were going to charge me

I would give this company zero stars. We had an appointment scheduled to have Ace Acme come to our home to pump our septic. The appointment was confirmed the day before. When nobody showed up my wife called and talked with a female, who turned out to be the owner, to inquire about the status of the appointment. The female proceeded to start screaming at my wife on the phone and stated an employee quit and destroyed there records and that there was nothing she could do about it and they we not coming. She then hung up on my wife.
I called and asked to speak with the manager or owner. (this is how

I should have checked the rating on Yelp before I called!
After a very nice chat with their scheduler, Eve, she was to call me back to schedule an estimate for a cap on our septic and a check/service.
Eve, although not very well trained or informed, called me right back after getting a hold of dispatch. Eve had me scheduled out two weeks (not a problem) for a pump (only) $400+.
I mentioned again that I wanted to get an estimate for the cost to install a cap and that I felt if they could install the cap the same day that would be reasonable - but if not it was putting the cart before the horse

My clients had Ace take care of their septic service when they sold their home. Several weeks after the new homeowners moved in, there were some problems. They did not call Ace but were really feeling treated unfairly. Ace heard from the sellers, went out to the property and took care of the new homeowners at no charge. Their generous assistance made the sellers feel good about the Ace business practices and has a real estate broker who will always be confident to refer Ace as a professional, trustworthy company for all my clients. Thanks Ace for your excellent community spirit and knowledgeable

The previous owner of our house had Ace-Acme pump and inspect the septic system prior to closing on the home. I contacted them to do the same service recently and the experience was great! I received a response minutes after submitting a form on their website, had all my questions answered and received a very competitive quote to pump and inspect our septic system. Nick was awesome, knowledgeable and took the time to explain how the system worked and what he had found during the inspection. I highly recommend this company for your septic service, inspection and repair needs!

Hi all...
These guys are great!
I've used Ace-Acme a number of times and will hire them again. We have two 1000 gallon tanks and a sloping, difficult access driveway and they master both. Not only is the volume high but the distance from the truck to the tanks is 80 additional feet down hill....that's a fair number of connections. and the BIG truck handles it with ease.
Hats off to the two workers who tackled my job with smiles and determination to get the job done!
I was recommended an additional service for high pressure lateral pipe cleaning on my mound system which will approve as soon

I would avoid this company at all costs. I was hoping to support a local company from a small town, however they tried to rip me off.
I called Ace-Acme for a septic pump and report to sell my home. Their prices were cheaper then the other guys. They came out that week for it all and sent me an estimate for a repair to my UV light that was $995 plus tax. However my alarm to my light was not going off, and when you opened the cap the light was clearly shining bright. In the meantime I had my boyfriend investigate the problem and he saw no issues himself. The company threatened to send the county

These guys are awesome! We have had so many septic issues since buying our home. In the midst of them fixing everything they had to come out several times and pump 3 times. They didn't charge for the labor, service call, or pumping after the first one. They're always friendly and taught us a lot (Dan is the man!) So we can avoid future problems. Customer service and pricing is #1 here.

Don't expect to get good service from this company. When their truck broke down before our appointment, we were not next in line, rather we had to wait until later in the evening or tomorrow because they had a "big job" that was a priority over ours.
But here's the kicker for us, we canceled a big job to wait for Ace Acme!
Ace Acme fails at customer service and needs a lesson in plain decency.

I really don't understand the poor reviews of these guys have received. I've done business with them for 20 or more years they been very professional and gone above and beyond the call of duty and I will continue to do business with them as long as I live in this home.
Dealing with the septic system can be expensive, frustrating and traumatic. But that's the nature of the beast.

No one likes to deal with septic issues... But this Team is outstanding in the business! They are on time, present the options and talk you through it... They are very client centric and do anything and everything to make sure you are completely satisfied with their work.
I would highly recommend this company and a person shout out to LISA... For going above and beyond ... Super great team to work with!

Made an appointment with Ace to have our septic tank pumped. First the driver calls and tells me he is going to be late.
Then when he gets to my house all he does is complain about how he has to do a back flush, and that he has to go and get another truck. The driver then proceeded to tell me about the extra fees he has to charge me on top of the 435.00. Told him to leave. He pulled up his hose and rinsed it on my drive way. This is not a good company
