Stewart Septic Services

Stewart Septic Services is a septic pumping company with a 4.2-star average across 58 Google ratings and an A+ grade on the BBB. On its BBB page, the company describes itself as J&S Development, Inc., doing business as Stewart Septic Service, Inc., offering septic cleaning, pumping, repair and Title V inspection. A 2003 article on wwdmag.com described Stewart's Septic Services in Bradford, Mass., as a privately held regional septic pumper for both residential and commercial tanks. A recent customer who used the company for septic tank pumping said they reached a real person on the first call and were scheduled for the next week, and that the driver Rob L. arrived on time, explained everything and completed the job in under 30 minutes. A recent customer said Rob L. got the job done in a timely manner. A 2024 customer said Rob L. came out on a Sunday emergency call in Salem NH, pumped off, cleaned the filter and snaked the line to unplug a backup. A 2024 customer said Fitz showed up within an hour on a Saturday emergency call, cleared the clogged pipe, cleaned the filter and pumped as much as he could. A 2023 customer said Rob L. snaked the blockage to the septic and pumped the tank after a plumber had said it needed to be pumped. A 2022 customer said the techs located and repaired a frozen pipe in the septic system, digging through a thick frost layer right before a blizzard. A recent 2-star reviewer said the receptionist asked them to remove the bolts on their septic cover themselves, and wrote that the company had doubled its rates over a short period. A 2024 customer said the technicians were kind, but that back-office staff called at 5:15 and again at 7:15 on a Friday evening to demand payment. A 2023 customer said the driver never called to schedule an after-hours pump-out, so they had someone else do it, and they were then sent an invoice for over $300. A 2025 customer said the company completed their Title V three years earlier and they were later told they needed to replace a $5000 part that apparently wasn't checked. A 2022 customer said they were charged a $75 fee over a mix-up about the appointment date. A 2025 reviewer wrote that one of the company's big truck drivers almost hit them. A 2009 eagletribune.com page reported neighbors saying an odor appeared to come from Stewart's Septic Service, worst around 5 p.m. when the trucks unload sewage into holding tanks.
