Downs Drain & Septic Service
Downs Septic and Drain Service Inc. has provided reliable Drain Cleaning and Septic System service to our customers since 1965. Robert Downs purchased Ackley's drain service in 1964 and changed the company name a short time later to Downs Drain & Septic Service. In 1980 Robert semi-retired and his sons Mike and Randy took over the day to day operation of the business.

Mike and Randy continued to provide the drain cleaning and septic system services their father did since he purchased the business. Mike started working for the company at 14 riding with his dad on service calls. In 1977 Mike started running the service department and running his own drain cleaning and septic service calls.

Used this company when.I had some water back up in my basement. Roto-Rooter attempted to overcharge me without even diagnosing the issue. Called this company to get a 2nd opinion, they were honest, trustworthy, and cost efficient. I will only use them from now on and will recommend them to anyone in need of services!!

I have been having septic problems. I called and asked to please send someone out who knew the area and was experienced. I gave them all the information about the property. They showed up for five minutes then said there was nothing they could do. They informed me that I needed to called the water department of Portage county because they do not know the rules of Portage county because they do not service out there. I paid the service fee because I was grateful for the information. However the information led nowhere and I am back at square one and out $95 for a five min visit for them to tell

Had a backed up storm drain, and they came out the next day and jetted it for me in about 10 minutes. Very pleasant guys to work with! Extremely happy with the responsiveness and professionalism. You have my future business, and I'll recommend you to my friends.
