Testimonials

On 11/29/2025 Rhapsidy B. had this to say:
Anytime we have septic needs Don Thomas Construction is always there. Don is fair, and I trust no one else. I’ve tried other septic companies, however, none of them as trustworthy and most important, consistent. I will use no one else. Thank you Don & co!

On 11/19/2025 Wayne Mccalpin had this to say:
Bought a house that was 45 years old with trees all around area of septic. When clogged pipes occurred a month after purchase, I called Don on a Saturday. Don came out on Sunday to evaluate what he would need, and scheduled my work for the following Tuesday. Don and another worker arrived around 0700 and started locating and opening the septic tank, they identified the area where roots had invaded the pipes and had blocked them. Don and crew left for about two hours to obtain plumbing parts and new septic tank lids with manhole access covers. Upon return they dug under the footing of the foundation to expose the pipe and made proper connections, including adding clean out access. It took several hours to complete the job, and my yard was returned to me smooth and ready for seed or sod. Don Thomas is a small business that provides the quality of service seldom found with franchise operations. Don is more than welcome to use me as a reference who is happy with his work.

On 10/24/2025 Sheala Ferguson had this to say:
For several years we have struggled with our septic (our home was a new build) and could not ever figure out the issue even after having someone come “fix” the problem. Mr. Don Thomas came out and gave us a best/worst case scenario. Unfortunately, we had the worst case scenario, which makes sense as to why the previous fix was not a true fix. Mr. Thomas completed the job in a timely manner and walked my husband through the whole process after the job was complete. We are pleased and would recommend his work.

If I could leave 10 ⭐️’s I would. Let this be your first call! Don & Josh were prompt, fast and knew what they were doing immediately. We ran into some unexpected problems and I only lost my water for 30 mins, they made sure not to leave me in a mess overnight either. Thank you for coming out same day within a couple of hours! These guys are honest with integrity applied the entire time.
