Services
Septic Tank Pumping
Our septic tank pumping service ensures efficient removal of solids and liquids to maintain system functionality. We use high-capacity trucks and advanced equipment to handle residential and commercial tanks. Regular pumping prevents backups, extends system lifespan, and complies with local environmental regulations.
Holding Tank Pumping
Holding tanks require frequent emptying due to their limited storage capacity. Our team monitors fill levels and provides timely pumping to prevent overflow. This service is ideal for properties where traditional septic fields are impractical.
Commercial Septic Services
We cater to large-scale operations with customized maintenance plans. Commercial systems often demand more frequent cleaning, and our team ensures compliance with industry standards. Services include routine inspections, emergency support, and system optimization.
Residential Septic Services
From small cottages to family homes, we offer tailored solutions for residential septic needs. Our licensed technicians assess tank conditions, perform thorough pumping, and provide guidance on proper maintenance to avoid costly repairs.
System Monitoring
We install and maintain monitoring systems for holding tanks, which alert homeowners when tanks near capacity. This proactive approach minimizes risks of overflow and ensures timely service scheduling, enhancing system reliability.

It was friday morning and our sewer was plugged. We didn't know what the problem was and we had a group of friends coming out to stay at the place the next day. Matthew (Cosby) came out and ascertained we needed to find the septic tank ... nightmare Friday but, although it was a long weekend he and his crew showed up early next morning, dug around and figured out the problem, fixed it and were gone before the guests arrived. I was bracing myself for a reasonable bill, especially considering the timeframe and level of service, and was blown away by his invoice. I totally recommend them.

Outstanding service! Cosby's showed up as scheduled, and despite a recent heavy snowfall from the night before, they got right to work. The septic lids were dug up, the septic pumped and risers installed all in a timely manner at a very reasonable cost. Definitely recommend them and will use them again.

After a no show and no returning of calls from another septic/excavating company, I thought I would give Cosby's a call and they came out immediately to my elderly parent's place who were dealing with a sinkhole from a broken drainage pipe. These guys were friendly and carefully evaluated the situation. They had a couple of other appointments that afternoon but assured us they would be back right after them to hook up new pipe where the break was. This was a great relief to my parents and myself as there was rain in the forecast. They came back just as promised and did a fantastic job for a very
