Lamprey Septic & Drain Services

Lamprey Septic & Drain Services is a septic company that says it has been in business since 1952, serving the Lakes Region and beyond, with residential, commercial and municipal wastewater systems. It holds 4.7 stars on Google from 81 ratings and an A+ grade with the Better Business Bureau. A recent customer needed a septic pump replaced for age and says the tech showed up the same day to dig up the pump and get the model, then came back the next day to install the new one at a fair price. A recent customer says Lamprey called back within 10 minutes during a weekend septic emergency and had someone out quickly. A 2025 customer said two workers who came to pump the tank told them it did not need pumping and explained how to tell when it would. A 2025 customer had a dry well jetted and the drain pipes checked with a camera, and said the technician called ahead and gave a debrief afterward. A 2023 customer said that when their system went down, a new pump was installed and running after the workers chopped through frost and dug 3 feet down. A 2023 customer with a sewer backup into the basement said a truck came at 8 a.m. the next day, ran a camera down the main line, found a clog and pressure washed it. A 2024 customer who gave four stars said the tech handed over a pump alarm and zip tied the float, then said an electrician was needed to install it, which the customer said had not been communicated. A 2023 reviewer said they were charged $300 as a rush charge on a visit about an outlet, though that customer later wrote that the company helped with a septic pump and an inspection. A 2023 reviewer wrote that the owner has a serious rage problem, relaying a brother-in-law's experience.
