History Of
Rechel Septic

Dave Rechel has been installing and working on septic systems since 1977. He got his start with Robinson Septic installing new septic systems in the Barrington area. In 1983, Dave became co- owner of Ron’s Septic in Barrington where they also focused on new installations, pumping and service in the greater Barrington area.

Then in 1991, Dave founded Rechel Septic Systems in McHenry, IL. The main focus of Rechel Septic Systems when we opened was new septic installation. New construction in our area was booming and we installed thousands of septics in the first 15 years of business.

Customer Reviews

Very professional and quick to help locate and get our septic tank issue resolved. Couldn't be more thankful for the speed of service and willingness to explain the process of services. Will definitely use for future services and recommend to family and friends.

Rechel Septic really helped me out when it mattered the most! I recently had a septic problem and Rechel Septic came out to my house within an hour after calling and that was 6:30am!!! I had them repair my system and I can now sleep at night without worry. These are the only guys I trust. Thank you Rechel!

...had used another septic service before. This time I tried Rechel. It was like night and day, arrived on time, very professional and friendly. Robin did the job quickly and explained how the septic system worked. I will only call them from now on, I'm very satisfied!

Second time using this company. Both times my experience has been very good! Good phone communication, on time service and fair price! We will continue to use this company....Thank you.

I never rate anything 5 Stars, but these guys do deserve it. They were cheaper and faster than any of the others I called. They take plastic too. After pumping out the tank, my drains still were backed up. So I called again. and they had a crew here in less than an hour. Despite my weird old plumbing they were able to fix the issue and a very good price. They tolerated my questions and cleaned up afterwards.
