My septic tank is a lot lower than the driveway. I thought it's going to be hard to pump. Not for Aaron who got the job done like a breeze. He is very friendly, professional and efficient. Highly recommended!!

Report
We had an emergency septic overflow and we were frantically looking for help this morning. I called everywhere and all were booked up, and didn't offer much advice. When I called Affirmative Aaron was all booked up till Wednesday, but he took about ten minutes to give me some info and try to help over the phone best as he could. I continued called and had no luck, so I called Aaron back and he had already cleared his schedule to come assist us. He arrived by 10:30 and quickly resolved our current issues, and helped to prevent future others! I can definitely reccomend Affirmative Contracting, knowledgeable
