We were referred to Zinks by our real estate office when we bought our 155-year-old former chapel turned family home in the Marbletown area of Newark, NY. They had already done an inspection for the previous potential buyers, and for a small fee they transferred that report to us so they didn’t have to come back out. From our very first call, they were friendly, professional, and patient with all our first-time-septic-owner questions.
They even referred us to an engineer to design a brand-new leach field, since our property didn’t have one at all. Yeah, the old septic was not properly leached. YIKES! Once those plans were finalized, Zinks was able to schedule us.
It only took a few days to complete the job, but they worked efficiently and were very respectful of our property. They kept the site tidy and even took the time to explain the dos and don’ts of caring for a septic system. We really appreciated this since septic is all new to us. Their communication was clear, their pricing was straightforward, and there were no surprise costs along the way. With rehabbing an old home, it is really nice not to have surprise costs.
When everything was finished, they made sure we understood how the system works and when to schedule maintenance. Overall, Zinks Septic Solutions made what could’ve been a stressful project surprisingly smooth. They were professional, honest, and genuinely kind people to work with. We’d absolutely recommend them to anyone needing septic work, inspections, or installations.
I also want to mention that we had other bids on this job and not only did Zinks do such a great job, their cost was significantly lower than other bids. By thousands!! These 5 stars are well deserved!

We had a fantastic experience working with Barry and Zinks Septic Solutions! From start to finish, they were professional, communicative, and incredibly easy to work with. The coordination and installation were seamless, and the quality of the work is top-notch—it looks amazing. On top of that, their pricing was the most competitive out of everyone we received quotes from. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for septic work done right.

Zinks just completed an urgent repair of our septic system. What we thought was one pipe turned into a new leach field. Their work was quick, cost effective, and of high quality. We would not have known the extent of the problem without Barry's expertise. We are very happy with the work and would highly recommend!

I am so grateful for the incredible work that Barry and Sheila did installing a new septic tank and distribution box for me. They completed the job in one day and left the site neatly raked and ready for seed. Barry was so easy to work and communicate with. His prices are very fair and the quality of his work is impressive. He is a true professional.
Couldn't be more pleased with Zinks' approach to customer service and to the quality of their work. They responded immediately to assess my emergency (a collapsed tank) and then completed the work exactly as promised. Barry and his team are the real deal - truly seasoned experts in Septic Systems. I wouldn't use anyone else to take care of my system.
Thanks again Barry!
