  The best in the valley hands-down! No hidden charges -on time - went right to work - Efficient and knowledgeable. They do not take advantage of customers by price jacking! They are rock solid as a business and as human beings.

  We have used Mel’s Pumping Service for 25 years in several locations. They are experts in their business, the prices are lower than expected. Using Mel’s services on my septic systems has saved me many more times the money than he ever cost. How many businesses can you say that about? Michael Hayes Kalispell, Montana

  I contacted Mel Cameron of Mel’s Pumping Service for assistance to determine the location of my septic drain field in advance of some work I am planning on my property. The map on my septic permit is hand drawn and 40 years old. I explained the situation and what I was looking to do, we discussed options, and he said he could come out to do an assessment and that he would charge $50 “to cover his gas”. We made the appointment for 10:00am, I provided him with my address, driving directions, and phone number. At 10:15am on the day of the appointment, no one had shown up, so I called to see if it was still on. Mel had no record of the appointment and barely remembered our discussion. He rescheduled for 12:30pm and arrived at that time. He assessed the property and permit drawing, and we discussed the issue. I asked how much I owed for his time, and he said $75. I paid him $80 cash. Before he left, he asked, “if I was taking this Covid thing pretty seriously”? I assume because I was wearing a mask. I said yes and that I had two small children so I don’t take many risks when it comes to the pandemic. He proceeded to launch into stories about his personal experience with Covid-19, and his political opinions as they relate to the pandemic. What began as a polite conversation turned into an unprompted lecture on his political viewpoints, and ended with him saying to me, “Democrats like you should have a bounty on their heads.” Mel Cameron of Mel’s Pumping Services stood on my property, with my money in his pocket, and chastised me for political opinions that he did not agree with. Once he had his money, he behaved unprofessionally and was very rude. I do not recommend Mel’s Pumping Service.
