- lori Pike1/02/2024Had an urgent issue and Cash showed up, found the tank and had it excavated (by hand) in no time. He let me know that the pump truck would be a little while before they could get there. He called at 8pm and said he could be there by 8:30. He pulled up in the pump truck and had everything done in no time. I can't say enough about his work and politeness. I highly recommend Cash and A Plus to anyone needing septic services.read moreread less

- Brad3/13/2020There are definitely other companies in the area that will perform a service at a lower price, but in my experience with some of the others I used before J & J, the old adage 'you get what you pay for' rings true. Everyone I came in contact with at J & J was incredibly courteous and professional. First and foremost, Tyler was the technician that helped me today, and most definitely went above and beyond what my expectations were. From my initial phone call to the time their truck pulled into my driveway was under an hour. I didn't encounter and hidden additional fees or any extra charges I wasn't made aware of when I called. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because pricing was high compared to other companies in the area.read moreread less
