Larry's Septic Tank Service
Company Overview
Offering septic tank services in Bastrop and nearby areas is what Larry's Septic Tank Service does best. Hello, I'm Cody Goodwill, the dedicated owner of Larry's Septic Tank Service. My father, Larry Goodwill, established the company in 1993, and he operated it until he was sadly taken from us in a tragic crash on July 29, 2009. He left a large gap not only in our hearts but also in the community. After that, until the 11th of June, 2014, the company remained inactive while we grieved. It wasn't until early 2014 when I sensed a push to restart. With help from my wife, Kimberley, and my mom, who originally handled scheduling and calls, we relaunched in June 2014 and are happy to be back serving the Bastrop community and nearby regions once more! We prioritize our customers' needs, and our aim is to serve you as if you were family and ensure the job is done right the first time. There are no hidden charges for locating or excavating the tank, nor for pumping out more than anticipated. What we quote is what you pay for every load we haul away.
Thanks for your support, and may God bless you.

Recommended Customer Reviews

I had a very tough Septic system mounted down a cliff face. Larry's was recommended to me from a friend. I had received a ludicrous bid for this job from other not very trustworthy company. Cody felt so bad for me he offered to buy additional equipment to get the job done. He also recommended a commercial company that might do a good job for me. They were able to do it at a 10th the price of my rip off company.
So one thing I can guarantee, this company is honest and helpful. I can't recommend good people like this enough.

Cody and Kim are a great team. They were responsive and communicative throughout our entire working relationship. I am a real estate agent and I work with many different vendors, and Larry's Septic Tank Service sets the bar for quality service and professionalism. I will recommend them every time for anyone who needs septic help in the east side of Austin and Cedar Creek areas. You can't go wrong working with these guys!

Called Larry's septic again 2 years later. This time Ethan arrived on time and as expected. He called in advance to confirm distance from the road to my septic tank since it had been raining. He had 125' of hose so no problem reaching my septic tank. He was efficient and professional and even made sure to turn off the spicket to the hose I put out for him to use. I will use Larry's septic in the future for all of my properties and would recommend them to anyone who needs septic pump out service.

We were considering buying a property and were not familiar with the area as we were moving from out of state. Not being familiar with septic systems (city dwellers all our lives), we wanted a thorough inspection so we could get accurate report on the current state of the system. Our realtor provided a couple of names and when I looked up the reviews for Larry's Septic Tank Service, I decided to give them a call. We set up an appointment for the inspection.
As you can read in the other reviews, Cody is a rock star! When we rolled up to the property (a few minutes early) , Cody and crew were already there and started. He identified some issues with the system - some minor, some not so minor. He took time to explain how the system works and made sure I had a basic understanding. He also explained the issues he found, the severity, and how they should be addressed. Lets just say it was obvious some of the issues just didn't occur naturally.... Due to this, I insisted that Cody do the repairs in order for the sale of the property to go through.
Cody was able to complete all the work in a very timely manner. We closed escrow and were able to move in on time with peace of mind.
I will definitely use Cody for all my septic needs in the future.

5 stars for the responsiveness and communication of Cody in particular when it came to getting a visual inspection prior to the expiration of our option period for a property out in Paige. He was able to make a last minute appointment (at 7am!) to come out and take a look for us and provide a professional opinion and basic quote.

Cody's late dad would be proud of how his son is running Larry's Septic Service. I'm guessing it was Cody's wife who answered the phone almost immediately when I called one morning. She gave me the best estimate AND the earliest opening I found in the four places I called. When torrential rains appeared in the forecast for our pumping date, Cody called to reschedule for a few days later but said that if the rains cleared up early he would call to sneak us in. Sure enough, the rain did clear up early and he did call to see if we were available! Cody called before arriving to make sure we'd be there and though my husband swore he would be, of course my husband was running late. Cody had no hint of annoyance in his voice when he arrived to an empty house and called me to check in...though he sure would have been completely justified in being annoyed. My husband, being a man of few words, even told me later, "He (Cody) was a really nice guy." I'm so glad we gave him our business. So many times in life you have to wonder if the next person is trying to screw you over...I get nothing but honest, hard-working, does-what-he-says-he's-going-to-do kind of vibes from Cody at Larry's Septic. At the risk of sounding like a crack-pot, I have a very strong feeling Cody's late dad Larry IS watching from "the other side" and IS very proud.

I'm so glad that we hired Cody to inspect the septic system on the property that we were considering purchasing. Not having a septic system or really knowing anything about it, we got lucky, as finding septic professionals doesn't seem to be the easiest endeavor!
We had an appointment scheduled for noon I think, but we live in Austin so we were planning to drive to Bastrop to meet him, leaving town at 11 am. Cody called around 9:30 or 10 to say that he was running ahead of schedule, that he would be arriving earlier than anticipated but that we didn't have to be there. Great! Not only was he on time, but a full hour early! Unfortunately, we ended up running an hour BEHIND, but despite the fact that we showed up two hours after he did, we found him to be friendly, helpful, and professional when we finally connected.
Sadly, there were some suspect issues with the septic system that was on the property... but Cody did a great job of explaining the issues at hand, as well as how a septic system works, so that we could easily understand the problems that we could potentially face by using the system in its current state.
Ultimately, we chose not to purchase the property when the seller refused to renegotiate the price based on Cody's findings. I feel so thankful for Cody's honesty with us, we could have easily trusted someone else telling us exactly the opposite, purchased the property, and had immediate issues, so thanks for helping us avert a disaster! I would call Cody again in a second if we ever needed any septic related services, and would highly recommend him to anyone I know!

Cody was TERRIFIC... After waking him, he visited on the phone with us for 20 minutes!!! Didn't think he could make it out. Oh, btw, we had huge septic issues and out of town company arriving. Called about an hour later and said he could come out... When he knew he was going to be a bit late, called to let us know.. WOW! Then, spend two hours with us in the rain helping us sort out the problem. Very informative, courteous and helpful. Took his time, no hurry.. and helped us out so much. Will definitely use him again and high recommend him. Love family operated businesses that care!

I was contacted by Cody Good will and told about the other guy who was posing as the new owner of Larry's Septic Service.
I will use Cody at Larry's Septic Tank Service because he cares about his customers and his business. It is a shame that the other person would rather run a scam than work for a living.
If you want to experience great customer service by a honest, hard working gentleman, give Cody a call at the CORRECT PHONE NUMBER: 512-985-6570.

Just from phone calls alone I would not have these folks out to my place. I called twice from my computer phone and they answered the phone and then hung up without saying anything. I assume its because it shows a 1-800 # but still you'd think with a business they would at least answer the phone and see if its a real person and not a solicitor. I gave up and called from my cell phone, which they answered. The woman sounded terse and said hello, I had to ask if I had the right # for Larry's Septic business and she said yes. If this is a real business, it seems extremely unprofessional so I wouldn't trust them...
