Testimonials
In our 50 years of service, Herring has had more customers than we can count. Seriously, we can't count them because a fire took 20 years of customer files in the 70s. We know most people don't take the time to share their positive feedback, because you're just happy to be flowing again. While we don't expect it, we definitely appreciate it when you take the time. Here's a collection of some of the testimonials, notes, cards, Google Reviews, Facebook comments that we have heard over the years. We are grateful for every customer, and always appreciate your positive feedback.
First time homeowner &first time dealing with a septic system mine backed up in the middle of the night on Saturday I did
best to divert the water from my house to I could call someone Monday morning, I called multiple places close to me most of them told me I had to wait a month!! For service it didn’t matter to them that I was backing up.. I called herring next within 1 hour of my call they dispatched a truck to me right away, the driver was knowledgeable and courteous found my septic cover which was buried underneath my walkway and went right to work..we were back up And running in no time!!! They were a little more pricey than others but I strongly believe you get what you pay for!! I will be using them again hopefully on routine maintenance this time. 10 stars to them!!

Steve not only took care of us in a timely manner. He also had paperwork sent to me immediately. I would highly recommend them.

I already wrote a 5 star review but I had to add to it. After my new septic tank was put in they did such an incredible clean up job that all I needed to do was get top soil and plant grass. When we called a landscaping company and they came out to appraise the job they said it was an incredible clean up job Herring sant did. They said usually in other jobs they did that other companies did the septic system the cleanup involved boulder moving and equiment to do the job. Their equipment for me was top soil, grass seed and rakes and their charge reflected that. So Herring thanku again for saving me money here too. These are the reasons I have been with them for 38 years and counting!

I recently had a backyard wedding— Steven was more than accommodating and his luxury bathroom truck elevated my reception and my guests were thrown away with the cleanliness and build of the truck. It’s definitely worth the money especially if you don’t want people in your house or using your septic. I suggest this company for any occasion- Steven had me booked within minutes on the phone and kept me in the loop with pick up and drop off. Thank you guys!!

So great. Today was my first day as a homeowner with a full septic tank. I called Herring. The people I spoke to were both knowledgeable and very nice. The scheduling was seamless and the guy with the truck was great too! The entire process was a positive experience.

This business if wonderful. After (another company) never showed up for their 8:30 AM appointment, I decided to call Herring at 11:30AM. They were at my home at 1:15 PM. Very clean even for a very dirty job. They will be my septic cleaner from now on. (Other company), you smell like poop. Herring, you smell like roses.

Herring Sanitation came to our Marlboro home this March and installed a new septic system within a few days.
There were a few difficulties with the project – in communications and expectations setting at the front – and in the execution. (It was found the area where we wanted to install the septic included some shale rock).
However, despite the setback, the Herring team was very professional, spending the extra day to see through the issues and ultimately make the parts we purchased work for the job.
Given how the team handled the changing situation and how they were able to stay within budget we would definitely consider using Herring again.
Peter R., Marlboro, NY
This was the best service i ever received and would hire them 1000 times more. He came and fixed a problem the other company could not and the other company was trying to rip me off. Herring came out fixed the problem and earned a new lifetime customer!!!

Herring Sanitation sent their employee, Tom, to service my septic system. He was knowledgeable, courteous and professional. Because the service required extra work and time to complete the job properly, Tom concluded the task with efficiency.

I want to thank you for how you handled (the issue I had at my house). You and your staff are great. I am a loyal customer that I hope never have to see you again (that means all my septic stuff works forever). Since we both know that isn't going to happen, you and your company are my go to place. This pump tank has been a nightmare since day 1.
I want to thank you for understanding my point of the story and wanted to show you and the people I dealt with my appreciation by having breakfast on me. I was surprised how quick Herring showed up and if I was a betting man figured at best 24 to 36 hours. To be completed by the same afternoon was beyond my expectation.
Keep Herring doing what you are doing and don't ever retire (at least till I am on municipal water). You guys are tops! Thanks again.
Fred S., Lagrange, NY
When I discovered that the pipe that goes from our house to the septic tank was leaking, I knew it was imperative that I hired the right contractor to dig up the mess and correct the problem. Thank goodness I found Jason at Herring Sanitation because you need a true professional with experience to get a job like this done right. Jason was extremely prompt and knowledgeable... and was able to explain exactly what caused our problem. Jason found additional problems and corrected them quickly with fair prices. It's a good feeling to know that all of those issues are behind us for years to come. Thanks, Jason.

During excavation for some landscaping, the landscaper called my attention to some cracks on the surface of the septic tank. I called and Jason came within the hour. Diagnosis was a new tank. Jason knew the landscapers would be at a standstill until the new tank could be installed. He and a crew were out to the house the next day and worked ALL day on getting this repair done. Jason and his crew went above and beyond, keeping me informed during every step. They worked in awful weather, heavy rain causing even more problems. Superb customer service. It is nice to know there are local businesses still doing great work for their neighbors. Highly recommend!"
Deb, Hudson Valley, NY
I called Herring for a Septic Inspection on a home I am in the middle of purchasing. I spoke with Steve who was great and answered all of my questions. Previously I had hired a different company for the inspection. However their report was a 1 line run-on sentence so that was a total waste of money. Within days, Herring sent out Alex and Ashlyn. They are great!! They asked tons of questions and Alex answered all of mine. So knowledgeable!! I received a professional report within hours. If you ever need a septic inspection, CALL HERRING. All around great experience and highly recommend!
Vazquez Family, Poughkeepsie NY
Herring is definitely a great company, After being duped by another local company, that charged us almost $3000 for a job that wasn’t done right. Herring came in immediately, they were very sympathetic of our situation, gave us great pricing and an even better payment plan. Highly recommended.

I called in the morning and received same day service to have the septic tank pumped out, due to noise being made when flushing the toilet. The staff over the phone and service man were all friendly and he was on time for the job. The service man made sure that the toilet and system was properly working before closing off the septic tank. They even put me on a two year reminder for having the septic tank pumped in the future. Their prices are competitive to others companies and I went with them because they are family owned and a local business in the community."

We recently had to have some work done on our septic. It was a Friday afternoon after 4:00 when we realized we had a problem. I called and spoke with Jason who had someone to our house in 15 min. They did some digging and found the problem, did a temporary fix and put us on the schedule. Of course today was the day they came, it was freezing out!!! Two VERY nice workers came and made the permanent fix in no time at all. Both men where very polite and professional I was so comfortable having the guys do the work. I highly recommend Herring Sanitation for all your septic needs. They are a fair, honest local family business you can trust. Thank you Herring Sanitation!

I used Herring on 11/23/2020 to pump out my septic system. Tom arrived from Herring Sanitation. He pumped out my septic and explained that septic needed to be backwashed due to tank sludge layer at bottom was very thick. When he was finished, I could actually see the bottom of the thank. He gave me a brief lesson on septic tanks and how to take care of it. When he was finished, my septic was running like it was new. Please note that my septic is 30 years old. It was worth the extra money. I strongly recommend...Herring in taking care of your septic.
Vera T., via Google
To the team at Herring...I just had one of your team members out to my home to pump our septic tank....It's very rare these days to come across a young person who is both personable and professional. Thomas was both. I'm sure in your business you get your fair share of complaints, so I wanted to make the time to send a real "thank you". It's nice to know customer service still matters to some businesses. You couldn't have sent a better representative. I hope you will pass along my thanks to Thomas / Tommy and the appropriate people. Have a great weekend."

Thanks so much to Jason, John and the entire Herring team! Septic problem (toilet backing up) … midwinter … temps under 10 degrees … snow covered ground ... worst time of year … called 8AM … Herring here before 11AM. Herring team found problem in short order and corrected it. Fast service, honest appraisal, reasonable charge. What more can a homeowner ask for? Again, thanks to Herring team.
Jim G., Poughkeepsie, NY
It's so strange not having to worry about the car (or anyone else) falling into the septic tank...I was so nervous when I finally decided to have our old tank replaced. Your guys did a great job and I couldn't be happier! Everyone was polite and professional. They came when they said, finished when they said and the job came in on budget. They even dispersed the extra dirt. I am certainly glad I used you guys and of course you have a life long customer.

So, I contacted you guys with a quote for 2 septic tank pumping for 2 neighbors. Not only were you the most reasonable, your driver was polite professional and knowledgeable. I was not home as required at the time of response. The office staff called and were also all of the above. The driver started without me. There is more positive I could say but you get the point. I will Highly recommend Herring Sanitation to anyone needing the same type of service.

We had a difficult situation, with a very old house and no idea where the septic tank was. The crew from Herring did an awesome job, finding it, uncovering it in a very difficult location, and pumping it. They worked efficiently and quickly. Very pleased with the service.

It is pleasant to have local business people who are honest, caring and responsive. This has been my experience with Herring Sanitation over many years. Most recently our septic system needed work and Jason and his team, Jorge and Dave responded as they always have, professionally. They diagnosed the problem, made the fixes and did it all in a timely manner. Thank you Herring for the services you provide.

I can't say enough about Sharon Herring and Herring Sanitation. We called with a multifaceted, unsure of what was happening, emergency today, on a Saturday. We then received a call back in 90 seconds, then the first technician here within an hour, followed by a different team for our other problem 90 minutes after that, all while having several honest, informative conversations with Sharon Herring along the way to help with decision making on how to go about fixing our problem without trying to take us to the cleaners. It was so, so refreshing after having been sc#$$ed over by many different companies over the years related to "house stuff" in the last 20 years to have had the pleasure and piece of mind that came with calling Herring Sanitation. They are class acts all the way. Thank you!!

I called to request service, which I needed immediately and the team responded without hesitation, gave me a window of time and said if they could get someone there earlier they would, which they did! When you get service like this, you recognize that it is rare and for this reason we will be return customers, if / when the need arises.

The owners are very good and reasonable people, great service at a fair price.
Imagine leaving being several states away from your property and needing septic work done, and no trusted referrals or friends to help. I discovered Herring by cold calling all the septic services that came my way, the owners were very receptive and understanding of my situation. They treated me well. I'd gladly do business with them again.

I want to give a shout out to Herring Sanitation. We won the September septic pump service. Sadly for us, it turned into needing a new tank. But this wonderful company still honored our free pump by deducting the value off cost of tank. They told me the whole point of doing giveaways during pandemic was to help someone save. They felt bad for it costing us money and said it was only right to give us something back. This act of kindness goes a long way. So thank you.....
Linda C. R., East Fishkill, NY
We want thank you for your fast & efficient service, we had a cracked septic pipe replaced last Friday. We had a back up called to have the system pumped, and still no water was draining into tank. Even after we flushed and run facets, but then we couldn’t figure out why we had water leaking through the powder room floor into the basement apartments’ ceiling. Sharon had someone back to the house within hours to replace the pipe & we appreciate it.

The service man, (Pete), was very congenial and did a lot of hard work, just to find the tank in the heat. He found it and cleaned it out completely, including mud. He deserves a raise!!

I used the Herring Sanitation Luxury Restroom Trailer for a family reunion with approx. 250 guests. We have used luxury restrooms before and chose Herring because of the affordable price. It was an easy and quick set up and the unit looked brand new. Unit was picked up 1-2 days after the event. I would recommend and would use again.

We've been customers for I don't even know how long.... 20 years? Longer? Herring has pumped out tanks for us at locations in Holmes and Patterson. Their drivers are always friendly, patient, courteous .... explaining things that you know they've probably had to explain over and over, day after day. Maybe one of the most important things I learned is especially critical right now: DON'T FLUSH THOSE WIPES. Even if they say "flushable."
Era T., Hudson Valley, NY
Great! One of the owners (Jimmy) came on-site, located the tank (which we had no idea where it was), and dug to locate tank inlet/portals. The tank was pumped, and they water-jetted the line to remove all blockage. This was all completed the same day as my initial call. THAT'S WHAT I CALL SERVICE! (Angie's List Description of Service: Toilet backing up, so wasn't sure if line blocked or septic tank full. We had no available schematic showing where septic tank was located, or how the drain lines ran from the building to the tank.)

Dear Mr. Herring: Thank you for servicing our drains and septic tank. I have removed some of or most of the tree roots in the tank and am trying to stop the roots from reentering the tank through any openings. Your diligent work of pressure water cleaning of the sewer lines has apparently opened these lines. The clothes washer now pumps out and really revs up during the extraction part of the cycles. It has not done that since I moved the washer from Beacon to our present home.

Wow, Wow, Wow. Your service was outstanding, very knowledgeable employees. The prompt service was like first responders at their job.

Our septic backed up into our finished basement through the laundry room and created an enormous disaster - our family is new to septic and were misinformed by another party on how often the tank needs to be pumped. Herring was here within an hour of the call to pump the tank, which they did very quickly, and the technician (Eric) was friendly and professional. The fee was very reasonable and I had no complaints.
We unfortunately weren't able to clear the blockage (following his instructions, designed to save us a little cash), so we called again and they had someone out here to help in about an hour - again friendly, professional, and reasonably priced. I'm so grateful for the fast, efficient service, which I expected (given an emergency) to be very expensive and wasn't - Herring has a customer for life. I would recommend their service without reservation.
Nicole K., Hudson Valley, NY
I really liked Jason and he told me what was going to take place with the septic tank install from beginning to end. He was helpful and guys were very nice…a pleasure to work with. They did such a good job in awful conditions (the heat with no shade). I felt badly for them but they did it with a smile and I was very thankful. Having the Septic tank put in is one of the least things you want to have to do (repair/replace) and there is nothing to look at when you’re done. But I was very happy with what they did for me. The girls in the office was the first thing that struck me. I called a couple other places first and decided I didn’t want to deal with them because they weren’t on the ball. But calling into Herring, Tina and a number of girls after that were all very nice and accommodating to what I was asking. The whole experience - having to have a septic tank put in was not fun but they made the experience much more pleasant than I would have expected.

The Herring Technician you sent out explained everything. He was EXCEPTIONAL! I have had other companies out to other properties and they just did their thing but I LOVED your company!

Enclosed find an estate check re the removal of the old septic tank and the installation of a new concrete tank. We received good cooperation and close adherence to time schedules advised by you. You performed a good business-like installation. Thank you.

Herring Sanitation was very efficient and reliable. My son got married last August at our home and we needed an outdoor facility. Looking on the internet I came across Herring Sanitation and gave them a call. They were very helpful in accommodating my needs for this special event. I have recommended this company to others and recommending it now to anyone who reads this review. The outdoor facility was clean and very nicely decorated. I especially liked the occasion signs, this case a wedding, that were put in both the men's and ladies room along with all the amenities. Thank you for making this a pleasant experience

After two weeks of working with another septic and plumbing company trying to resolve a situation with our septic tank - with no real progress and a few unnecessary services/costs, we finally reached out to Herring Sanitation for a second opinion. The owner himself came out to our house the same day and quickly assessed the situation. He assured us that he knew just what needed to be done, and within the next day, our system was completely fixed. Our only regret is not calling Herring Sanitation first. Thank you for your quick response time, professionalism, reliability, and high-quality work! Whenever we need septic services, Herring Sanitation is the only company we'll call.

Great speedy service. The man came out Sunday evening after a family party left us all kinds of backed up. Herring helped us out and we will definitely use them next time before the party.

We needed to have our septic pumped as part of our contract to close on the house we were selling in Hopewell Jct., NY. We called a company that was recommended to us, well first mistake, they showed up 4 hours late, only one person, he walked around the back yard sticking a digging bar in the ground in several places then he told us he could not locate it and quoted us an outrageous price to locate it and pump it. Ditto for the second company. We spoke to our Real Estate Agent and said we were calling Herring Sanitation, the reply was “Oh No, they look for problems to charge you more”. Well we called Herring anyway and it was the best call we ever made. We spoke to Sharon, explained the problem and she quoted us a price that would be no higher but could be lower. They went to our Hopewell Jct. House on Monday, found the septic tank and pumped it clean. They did and extraordinary job and we are very, very pleased. We would recommend Sharon and the whole Herring team to anyone that needs the service they provide. Thanks to Herring Sanitation we are closing on the sale of our house in NY.

We moved into our house in 2010 and it was time for a septic pumping. I received a recommendation for Herring from a friend of mine. The driver (Pete) arrived on time during the window we were given and he was very nice. He took time looking at the tank and even pulled out some tree roots that had started growing in the tank. The process was quick and when it was complete, he went over the bill with me. I found him to be very professional and knowledgeable. We will definitely be using Herring again. Thank you!

I was having an engagement party at my house with a guest list of 200 people and I did NOT want everyone going inside to use the bathroom, especially since I am on a well. From the first phone call inquiring about their services to the pickup of the portable restroom at the end of our contract, every individual that I spoke to was professional, courteous and very accommodating. The portable restroom was nothing short of perfect!! It was meticulously clean, it was decorated beautifully and most importantly IT SMELLED GREAT!...They exceeded my expectations all around with this experience. I highly recommend Herring sanitation!!

We had been experiencing septic issues for MONTHS and had four companies out before finally discovering Herring. I called them on a Friday, Jason came out immediately, diagnosed our problem and work started on Monday. Incredible! Once we got started it became obvious (even to me) the issue was bigger than it seemed. The entire side of our tank had disintegrated (see pictures). Jason was able to arrange for an immediate utilities survey and obtain a tank the same day. Tuesday midday, we have a properly functioning septic system. The entire team was considerate and they left the job site in great condition. I don't give out recommendations all that often but I will be calling on Herring for any future need we may have.
Teri E., Hudson Valley, NY
Just a note to thank all of you so much for coming and taking care of things so quickly in such terrible weather. It’s really nice knowing that we still have such caring people around. Thank you again…

Every person I spoke to at Herring from the beginning have been awesome. My fiancé & I just closed on our FIRST house a month ago and our septic failed on Sunday night. We were lost on who to call - so we immediately went to google/yelp/etc to look at local companies and find reviews. We are so happy we found Herring. The staff in the office were so easy to communicate with and were understanding of our situation (aka we new nothing about what was happening). From the guys who came to pump the septic to see if that was the problem, to John Herring who spent 3-4 hours in our basement working to discover a broken pipe, and including Jim Herring who stayed until 8:30 at night to fix our broken pipe as a temporary fix so we can use our house until we replace our tank, were nothing less than extraordinary and accommodating. Top notch service as well as making it their priority to make sure our house was in working order. Thank you Herring!
