Customer Reviews Summary

"I called them to get our long overdue septic tank serviced, they answered my questions and told me a starting price for the job. They were able to arrive sooner than I expected but I asked for a later date and they were very accommodating and came on the day I requested. They contacted me before arrival to say they were on the way and showed up when promised. They were polite and careful with the area, and they gave me some advice on basic things to help the tank out. Definitely will call them for the next service !!"

"My wife called Bowen & Sons Septic Tank Services to come service my septic tank. It was overdue for service since it had not ever been serviced in 26 years. They were concerned that something that might happen if it was taken care of immediately. They were at my house in around two hours. They were very nice and friendly. She is a person that asks a lot of questions and every question she asked was answered extensively. She took pictures and sent them to me. She also was allowed to be there at a safe distance of course, and talk with them the whole time. They gave good advice on how to maintain my system. There were a lot of roots in it and it was getting close to having a big problem. They were surprised at how well it was still working all things considered. We are very thankful for the service and advice. The price was very reasonable for the time spent and all that had to be done. I would use them again and do highly recommend them to anyone."

"These guys are the best. I wish everyone had the business ethics and customer service that they have. We have called them twice now because of our septic tank, and these guys can not only show up the same day but often within a couple of hours!!!! Good luck getting someone else to come out that fast AND get the job done! We appreciate this family business very much!! These are good folks!"

Compliance Q&A Accordion (Macon Regulations)

Understanding how this provider coordinates with Bibb County and Macon Water Authority codes:

Why should I hire an independent local hauler?

Independent haulers like Bowen & Son's Septic often have lower corporate overhead, which can result in highly competitive pricing. Plus, you usually deal directly with the owner for scheduling.

Is Bowen & Son's Septic properly licensed to haul grease?

Yes, Bowen & Son's Septic is actively registered with the state and holds unique FOG (Fats, Oils, and Grease) transport permits, making them fully compliant with commercial wastewater regulations.

How often is my commercial kitchen required to pump its grease trap?

Under the standard Georgia 25% Rule, Bowen & Son's Septic recommends pumping when combined fats, oils, grease, and settled solids reach 25% of the total liquid depth, or at least quarterly.

What documentation do I need for municipal FOG audits?

When Bowen & Son's Septic services your interceptor, they will provide a physical pumping manifest. You are required by most local authorities to maintain these records on-site for a minimum of 3 years.

Does this company handle interceptor blockages and backups?

Yes, alongside routine liquid waste hauling, active commercial pumpers are equipped to handle urgent line jetting and localized backups for their commercial accounts.
