Its website names Hubbardston, Oakham, Rutland and Ware among the towns it serves. Customers writing in 2023 and 2024 described long relationships with the business. In August 2023, one said they had used Petersham for 26 years and had received prompt, courteous service. Another August 2023 reviewer described a thorough tank-pumping visit, with questions answered and recommendations for caring for the system. A September 2024 customer said the company unclogged the filter each time it pumped their septic system and told them how the system looked. That customer also praised the prices. In a May 2024 review, a longtime customer said a worker came on a Saturday to pump their clogged tank after leaving a hunting outing. The company advertises free estimates and says it is insured. Its Better Business Bureau grade is A+.
“He said the facility has three septic systems that have been inspected by Petersham Sanitary Service and are operational.”
Amazing service!l they came out quick! Great customer service had an issue with payment and Katherine helped me out and we got it done!
Best value can be found at Petersham Sanitary Service. Their prices are more than fair and they go above and beyond and unclog the filter for me each time they pump my septic system. They also always give me a thumbs up that the system looks good.
We have been using these folks for decades and I am more impressed with every contact. This past Saturday he left hunting to come pump our tank after we got it clogged. Great people and fantastic service!!!!!!
I had my tank pumped today. The service was quick, thorough, and professional. I had several questions which were answered, and a recommendation or two to help me continue to get good service from my system. We have used Petersham Sanitary Service for years. I highly recommend them, and I personally wouldn't use anyone else. You simply can't beat the quality of this business, and you'll come away feeling like you have made a new friend (because you probably have!)
We have been customers of Petersham Sanitary Service for 26 years. We have always received prompt and courteous service. It's also nice to support a small family business.
