Earlier this year, I found out that my septic tank could not be repaired but needed replacing. I contacted Grayline Contracting and arranged for Matt to come out and have a look. He arrived promptly on the agreed day, informed me of the procedure and had an estimate for me in a couple of days. Matt managed to squeeze the job into a free day, 2-4 weeks ahead of schedule. I was able to watch the change out from start to finish and admired the professionalism and expertise displayed by Matt and Tom. Matt answered any questions or concerns I had concisely and left the excavated site ready for topsoil

We contacted Grayline after we were having issues with our septic system. They were able to fit us in and we couldn't be happier with the results. Other contractors were wanting trees to be cut down in order to get the tank in, but not Grayline. They worked with the limitations of the property and were able to get the new tank installed. So glad we went with them as they were able to ensure that the sewer lines were properly installed (the old ones had cracks) and they even graded the area for proper drainage. Go with Grayline, you will not be disappointed!

Our alarm went off on our septic system and we immediately called Grayline. They were able to do some troubleshooting over the phone and determined that an emergency repair wasn't required so we set up a time for a look the next day. They were on time and were able to determine the problem, all the while offering different solutions. Great service!

Matt & the crew at Grayline are awesome. They are responsive, professional, fair, and excel in the business. I have seen dozens of Septic contractors and Grayline consistently surpasses my expectations. We have used them on our personal systems as well as many referrals to clients & neighbours. If you are looking at septic contractors it's important to get different opinions but you won't need to look any further than Grayline.

Hi Matt
Just wanted to say a big thank you for the great job replacing our septic tank!
Weve been on our acreage for 24 years and dealt with a lot of contractors but have never been happier with the service we received from you! Very competitive price and quick installation...started at 7:30 and we were flushing toilets at 12:00. Really appreciate the effort to minimize lawn damage as well! Please feel free to use us as a reference anytime
Cheers
