Jim is a great guy and excellent business man. I know he just saved us thousands by being attentive and honest. We have been using his service since 2002 and have our tank pumped every couple of years, needed or not. The most recent time was a couple of weeks ago. He noticed some concrete and plastic at the bottom of the tank and showed it to me. He told me the original outlet baffle (keeps the solids in the tank), made of concrete was done for, after 24 years. A bit of research confirmed Jim's diagnosis: if unaware or left un-fixed the leech field would be toast, costing a whole lot of money. I dug the hole myself to access the panel and Jim then returned to quickly add a new PVC baffle, which should last for life. For $100 our septic system will keep on doing its job.

VERY IMPORTANT! Do not make a mistake and call the wrong J L Darling. There were 2 different brothers in the same business, This is the one to call for the best service. The other company has shortened the name of his business to J L Darling to benefit from the confusion. If it says "Jack Darling" on the truck, you have the right one.

Jack Darling saved me over $ 18,000 in 2012 by correcting a problem that had caused me to fail a title five inspection. The inspector I hired was cheap, but not very good. The septic tank was overflowing when the cover was removed, and the inspector said there was no need to look any further because the system was failing. My neighbor told me to call Jack Darling, and Jack dug up another cover and found the only problem was a blocked filter. I had already spent about $1500. for plans to repair the drain, but at least Jack discovered this simple issue before I spent all that money for an un-needed repair. Jack's cell phone is 774 254-5501.
