Services
Septic Tank Pumping
Our septic tank pumping services ensure optimal system performance and prevent costly backups. Using advanced equipment, we thoroughly remove solids and sludge while adhering to environmental regulations. Clients receive detailed documentation and maintenance recommendations to extend system lifespan.
Grease Trap Cleaning
Regular grease trap cleaning prevents clogs and maintains compliance for food service businesses. Our technicians use precision methods to remove FOG (fats, oils, grease) while minimizing operational disruption. We provide service records for health department inspections.
Portable Toilet Rentals
We supply clean, well-maintained portable toilets for construction sites and events. Services include delivery, regular servicing, and waste removal. ADA-compliant units and luxury trailers are available for special events requiring premium amenities.
Drain Cleaning
Our drain cleaning services address residential and commercial blockages using high-pressure jetting and mechanical augers. We identify root causes like tree root intrusion or pipe corrosion, offering lasting solutions rather than temporary fixes.
Waste Management
We provide 20-30 yard roll-off containers for construction debris and large projects. Same-day delivery and competitive pricing simplify waste disposal. Our team handles loading, transport, and proper disposal of non-hazardous materials.

I have been in my home for 4 years now. I called Degler to come out to pump my septic tank. The truck guy called to let me know he was 5 minutes out for my appointment. I really appreciate that. Upon a quick inspection, he was honest and told me that I did not require my tank to be pumped as it was pretty much all water and no solid waste and pointed out the water line was a bit below the pipe. He had me flush my toilets to make sure no obstruction.
Everything was good. I truly appreciate this companie's honesty! Told me to call again in 2 years and I will. Your truck guys were very nice and professional and answered all my questions. They left the tank area nice and neat.

Very professional and friendly. We had to use the bathroom in our travel trailer until we could get the septic tank emptied. After the home septic tank was taken care of they offered to empty the holding tanks on the rv. They went above and beyond and it was greatly appreciated.

Coming from an office of women it is important that our port-a-john is clean and safe for us to use as well as our customers. Malcolm takes very good care of us. Not only does he take the time to make it sparkle but he keeps us stocked on paper goods as well. Thank you Malcolm for taking the time to do it right and the extra effort you show to us at Taylors Quality Landscape. We are grateful.

Fantastic service, wonderful people. I would never use anyone else to perform this service. Called one day and they were here the next. Cleared the clog, pumped out my tank in less the 45 minutes. Trust these people as they know what they're doing.

I made an appointment late Friday with Heidi for our septic tank to be pumped out. Heidi was very professional and thorough. She made sure I understood the process, including costs and the timeframe for our appointment the next morning. I'd never dealt with plumbing issues before, and my husband is deployed, so I was really out of my element, but I couldn't have been in better hands. Jordan was at my house within the 2-hour window I was given, and he and the gentleman with him quickly handled business, being careful and respectful of our property. Jordan, Heidi, and the Degler team fully exceeded my expectations. They were kind, courteous, honest, and professional. I will happily recommend them any chance I get. Many thanks!
