Morgridge & Son Inc. **Trade:** Demolition & Excavation · **Address:** 1 Dow Hwy, Eliot, ME 03903 · **Phone:** (207) 439-1250 · **Website:** https://allthingsseptic.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 4.2/5** (high confidence) — from 55 reviews across 4 sources. 98% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 41 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read In August 2026 a customer wrote that when their septic system backed up on a Sunday, Gregg from L. W. Morgridge & Son came out and drained the tank, and another wrote that after getting stuck with a septic issue on a Saturday, they were at the house within an hour and a half. The Eliot, Maine company's website describes pumping, inspections, repairs and clean-water delivery for homes and businesses across Maine and New Hampshire, says it is family owned and has been in business 78 years. It holds 4.9 stars from 74 Google ratings. In October 2026 a customer wrote that Ron and a second technician found the problem in the lift station, and Matt came with the jetter and a pump truck to empty and power wash it; the system is now set up for periodic cleaning and inspection. Also in October 2026, a customer wrote that Matt removed the back cover of the tank to unclog a blocked line. In September 2026 a reviewer wrote that Zeke dug up the cover, visually inspected the pump and determined a septic alarm was a false alarm. In August 2026 a customer had the leach field jetted by Matt and Jay, and a September 2026 reviewer credited the company with helping keep a leach field serving 70 homes intact and working. In May 2026 Matt and Greg did a camera inspection on a property, and in August 2026 Zeke pumped a septic tank, replaced the cover and reseeded the disturbed area for a reviewer's buyer clients. The company also delivers water: in June 2026 a customer wrote that a request made in the office for a water delivery to fill their pool before the July 4th weekend got a double delivery that same day. In March 2026 a one-star reviewer wrote only that the service was absolutely horrible, with zero customer service skills. **Strengths:** - Weekend emergencies — Sunday and Saturday septic calls answered in August 2026 - Lift station work — October 2026 problem found, then jetted and pumped - Same-day water — June 2026 pool-fill delivery made the day requested **Concerns:** - Customer service — March 2026 one-star complaint about service skills ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 4.9 stars from 74 Google ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=L.%20W.%20Morgridge%20%26%20Son%20Inc.&query_place_id=ChIJ69fMJ4a-4okR1fPtVPykm1A) — “Google: 4.9★ from 74 ratings” - Its website describes pumping, inspections, repairs and clean-water delivery for homes and businesses across Maine and New Hampshire, and says it is family owned _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://allthingsseptic.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Pumping, inspections, repairs and clean-water delivery for homes and businesses across Maine and New Hampsh…” - The company says it has been in business 78 years _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://allthingsseptic.com) — “Self-reported 78 years in business” - In August 2026 Gregg came out on a Sunday to drain a backed-up septic tank _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT21oaGFFMUNPWGhZYlV0UFkzWk1WVWRJZWpVNFpsRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x509ba4fc54edf3d5!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOmhhaE1COXhYbUtPY3ZMVUdIejU4ZlE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gregg was absolutely outstanding!
