Septic Tank Inspections

Many people buy houses without having a sewage pipes or septic tank inspection and find out after the fact that portions or all of the system needs replacement. The cost could cost more than $20,000 and is not, generally, covered by homeowner’s insurance.
Please call Nichols for a septic inspection before you buy.

Septic Tank Location

If you do not know where your septic tank is, Nichols Plumbing provides locating services to find your septic tank cover. Additionally, Nichols can send an excavator if your tank lids is more than 12” below ground. Nichols sewer cameras are equipped with locator beacons that can be picked up by a handheld receiver.
If your tank is more than 12” deep, that can be a lot of hand digging. If you desire, Nichols Plumbing can provide excavation services to dig up the tank covers for pumping and other maintenance. To learn more about excavation services, please

Pipe Bursting Technology

Pipe bursting is the latest technology in underground pipe replacement. Nichols Plumbing is always looking for faster, cheaper, less invasive ways to service our customers’ needs. Nichols researched, trained, and brought to this area pipe bursting technology with that in mind.

Nichols Plumbing can now replace underground utilities without digging up your lawn, driveway, or walkway. Pipe bursting is a great application for buildings that have old galvanized water main services. Pipe bursting is also a great method to use when pipes run under a driveway, roadway, across neighboring land, under pavement or concrete, under a tree, or to increase an existing service.

Brian Suddy

Kitchen sink and laundry sink in the basement were clogged and backed up. Called Nichols Plumbing and within 35 minutes the technician was here. Thirty minutes later he was all done, the drains were clear and everything was working again. Great service. I would definitely use them again.

Reclaimed Lumber

Rude!They don’t return phone calls for service!

Kristen Simpson

Had my septic line backing up into my tub, stressed to say the least. They were able to get someone out here within 24 hours and quickly resolved the issue. I called probably 8 different plumbers yesterday and this was the only one to both call me back timely and set an actual appointment instead of just saying "tomorrow". Scheduling team was nice to speak to, serviceman was pleasant and knowledgable. I will be keeping this number on hand.

S Lach

Helpful, prompt, and friendly service. Would recommend.
This was my first time having my septic cleaned out and I wasn't sure where the access was. I had called another company first, but they wouldn't dig this time of year. My second call was to Nichols. They found my access easily and had me pumped out within days.

Came home this evening to my basement drain backed up. Called the emergency line and received a call back from the dispatcher in good time!

The serviceman that came out had the drain unplugged and cleared within minutes. Luckily it was just clogged under the floor. Service was great for sure. Definitely would recommend for emergency services and will be using them for my future plumbing needs

Thanks again!
