Exceeded Our Expectations
The Carey team did some bulldozing for us. The operator, Devon, listened to our goals and exceeded our expectations by giving advice and allowing us to reach our vision. We highly recommend them and look forward to using them in the future.
Jenn G
Did a Great Job, Highly Recommend
Jim cut down some trees and removed some stumps. He took the logs that were too big for me to handle and cleaned up the area. I had some roots to cut and remove and raking to do. But then the area just needed some grass planted. Jim is nothing but go when he is working. He is also friendly, funny, and a great guy. Did a great job, highly recommend.
Kurt Anderson
Very Friendly Crew and Hardworking
Ryan and his guys had my project complete, from start to finish, in just two days! It turned out great; they made sure I was satisfied with the results and were willing to make changes on the fly whenever I requested it. Very friendly crew and hardworking. Ryan is a very honest and trustworthy guy... he knows his craft like no other! I am sure I will have him and his crew back again in the future! Thanks, Carey-Sodergren!
Craig Heinonen

Sodergren Septic was fast, efficient, and fixed the septic problems at my house. They responded quickly and the crew of Jim, Ed, and Andy were thoughtful, helpful, and extremely courteous. I will use their service again. I thank them for everything they did to help me.
Marye Marusich
We are so impressed with this company
We called the day after Christmas with a house full of company to ask for help with a sewer backup! Kathy was so pleasant to answer the call and arranged for Jim to rescue us. Within hours he was at our place assisting us with the issue. Not only did he help, he also gave us incredible advice on how to deal with future septic issues. We are so impressed with this company and are so lucky we contacted them!
Hoop House Jack

Amber Leigh Nault
They Are the Best
Jim was awesome, very knowledgeable and early, and even showed up on Saturday 11/23/24. Our family has been doing business with them for years. You all are so nice too. Thank you for everything. If you need their service, call them every time. They are the best, and like I said, thank you so much, Jim.
Lisa Basto
Couldn’t Have Asked for Better Service
We had a major septic problem on a Saturday. We called 3 different services that said they had emergency services. Carey-Sodergren was the only company that actually answered their phone. Ryan called me back in a matter of minutes. Tyler was at the house within the hour. After pumping the tank did not solve the problem, he was able to diagnose what the problem was and, after much hand digging, resolve it. From first call to problem solved was less than 3 hours on a Saturday. I can’t say enough about what a courteous employee Tyler was. Couldn’t have asked for better service.
Bill Davis
Michael was very nice and did a great job
Michael was very nice and did a great job. He knew his job well and answered all the questions I had. We will definitely be calling again and requesting Sodergren Septic to pump our system!
Jeni Vobr
This service is AWESOME
First I want to say, this service is AWESOME, friendly people. Michael W. did a GREAT job, no mess. I would tell everyone to use this service. I will not use no other service. THANK YOU ALL for the easy way to get good service.
Bryan Marshall
Very Happy With the Service
Very happy with the service. Got scheduled quickly, and Michael was really nice and gave me a lot of good info for being in a new house and never having to deal with a septic system before. Great job!

I Will Absolutely Be a Repeat Customer
Michael was on time and polite. This is the 2nd time I have used this business for service. The septic tank was pumped out and the price has been fair both times I have needed their services! I will absolutely be a repeat customer when I need service again!
Jesse Moraska
A little pricey but a good experience overall
A little pricey but a good experience overall. Michael came to clean the septic tank and did a great job explaining the procedure and recommended installing an effluent filter because our old tank did not have one. I learned a lot about how the septic system works. Thanks, Michael, for your input....Paul G.
Paul Gluski
Absolutely Terrific Service!
Absolutely terrific service! They came super fast, even to a remote area. Great communication both by office and techs! Highly recommend them, and I plan on using them again... hopefully just routine next time though, and not another emergency like this (lol) — but good to know that even in an emergency they got in so fast! Thank you again, Carey-Sodergren!
Anne Mills
Excellent to Work With
I scheduled an appointment to have my septic pumped, inspected, and a riser put in. Several other companies in the area would not show up for appointments or respond to phone calls. Sodergren was excellent with their responses. They showed up as scheduled (actually early) and did the work requested quickly. Jim and Mike were excellent to work with, answering all of my questions and explaining the operations of the septic system. I would use this company again.
Jeff Brester

Jim Was Onsite for a Pain-Free Septic Pump
Ryan- I have not met you personally, but I know you have a good thing going here. Jim was onsite at my house today for a pain-free septic pump. I am glad I could give him an easy start to his day. Jim is a good guy as well as the gals in the office. Thank you, and thank Jim again for me. He is a good guy. Take care of him. -Derick Wall
