Verified record
R J Lacombe Septic Services is a Groton septic company, and it says on its website it has been in business 58 years. The site names Groton, Concord, Acton, Littleton, Boxborough, Harvard, Ayer, Shirley, Pepperell, Dunstable, Tyngsborough, Westford, Chelmsford, Lancaster and Townsend as its service area, and offers 24/7 emergency service. A recent customer called at 8:30am on a Monday with a backed-up septic system and no working toilets or showers; the crew was there by 10:30am, the issue was fixed by 11am, and the charge was less than their previous septic pumping. A 2024 customer said their pump alarm went off at 11am on Christmas Eve and, after they called, a crew of two came and emptied both tanks. A 2025 customer said Bob Lacombe suggested they dig to find the tank openings themselves to save money, then snaked their sewer line to clear a clog for a reasonable fee. A 2025 customer said the company helped find and dig out their septic tank the first year, for a little extra, and later pumped it while they were out of town and left a bill. A 2025 customer said Blake arrived on time and walked them through preventive maintenance. A 2025 customer said the visit to find the plug took 30 minutes. On Google it holds 4.9 stars from 37 ratings.
Super fast and helpful
Can't speak highly enough. Called them at 8.30am on a Monday morning with a backed up septic system, no flushing toilets, no use of showers. The crew were here by 10.30am, the issue was fixed by 11am and they charged less than previous septic pumping. Very grateful for such good service and will be sure to use them from now on.
So friendly, fast service, and incredibly reasonably priced. Will use for all future septic needs!
Phenomenal service start to finish. Called the office to set up an appointment and had a wonderful conversation with the staff member (informative, patient, friendly). Then, the person who came out to pump the septic tank was possibly the best service provider I have ever worked with. He was highly capable, helpful and went above and beyond to help me understand the process and how to maintain my system. I will recommend RJ Laconbe to everyone.
Fast, friendly, and efficient! Arrived on time, found the plug quickly, and was in and out in 30 minutes.
