Your Favorite Girl To Talk Sh*t To™️- Becky Dawes

The venture started back in 1952 when Grandpa Henry F. Dawes aka "Poppy Chicken", "Old Hank" ventured into Hudson Valley Sanitation. He was one of the very few companies with a "vacuum truck". Located on East Road on the border of Plattekill and Marlboro in the little area known as "Dawesville". After many changes in the business structure and family members getting more involved, Grandpa changed the company name to "B&G Dawes Inc." (Bambi & Gregory) in the 70s. In 1982, Grandpa's son Chris aka "Dawzie" became more involved in the business. In 1986, Grandpa retired and Chris became the new owner with a new name of Dawes Septic Service. In 1995, Chris also started Modena Earthworks and Supply. A division to handle repair work and supply delivery. In 2008, Dawes Septic and Repair along with Modena Earthworks were proudly handed down to third-generation Carl, Chris' son, and Becky, Carl's wife Becky. Along with their team, they provide specialty services of wastewater disposal system design, installation, maintenance, and repairs. Additionally, excavation services are offered with a wide variety of expertise. Community support is dear to their hearts. Rotarians since 1991, they are committed to providing for their community as a way to give back for all the support that has been shown to them over all these years. Local organizations, veteran services, schools, food pantries, shelters, and many others see this impact. Learn more here:

Every few miles…every few years.

Stuck on the side of the road… stuck not flushing.

One is an inconvenience. The other can turn into a real crappy sh*tuation.

Routine oil changes, routine cleanings.

Get what Im putting down?

This tank was overdue and required extra labor to properly service, which increased the cost; this is not a routine cleaning.

We are here to support you in any sh*tuation. We don't charge more just for the fun of it. We charge for the time, labor, and work required to do the job right.

After all, thats what you expect isnt it?

We love feeding our people!

Today’s menu is looking GOOD! We’ve got pork tenderloin with veggies and creamy Cavatappi Alfredo on the menu!

Nothing makes us happier than seeing our crew enjoy a good, home-cooked meal. Hard work deserves good food, and we make sure our people are well fed!

Who’s hungry?!

Today, Dawes Septic & Repair joins our community in recognizing Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

We honor the history, cultures, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous peoples, especially the Native communities whose roots run deep throughout the Hudson Valley.

As a locally owned business, we believe in respecting the land we work on, the communities we serve, and the generations who came before us.

Today is an opportunity to learn, reflect, and recognize the people who have cared for this land for generations and continue to shape our communities today.

From all of us at Dawes Septic & Repair, Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day!

THIRSTY THURSDAY!

Your septic tank called. It’s thirsty. Unfortunately, its drink of choice is questionable.

While you’re sipping your morning coffee, we’re out here handling everyone’s number two!

We take your crap so you don’t have to!

Happy Thirsty Thursday, folks!

Happy Wednesday!

You know you did something right when a customer doesn’t just say “great job.” They go out of their way to make sure the boss knows WHO did the great job.

George recently reached out after Jim and Cole were at his property:

“Jim and Cole did a great job and represent your business well. Let them know I informed you that. You should be glad to have them on your staff! Thanks again for a job well done!”

George, we ARE glad to have them.

This work isn’t always easy, glamorous, or even noticed. Most days, our crew shows up, gets dirty, solves the problem, cleans up and heads to the next job.

That’s why messages like this mean so much.

Customers notice when you don’t cut corners. They notice your attitude. They notice professionalism. They notice how you treat their property and their family. They notice the extra effort when nobody is standing over your shoulder asking for it.

Jim and Cole, thank you for representing Dawes exactly the way we want to be represented.

Good work. Good people. Taking care of our community.

Apparently, you two gave George something to talk about.

Cue Shania Twain.

Cole, please tell us you know who Shania Twain is. We’re not emotionally prepared for the alternative.

Tuesday reminder from your friendly neighborhood septic crew:

Your septic tank does not care that you’re busy.

It does not care that you have laundry going, someone’s in the shower, the dishwasher is running, and a kid just flushed the toilet for absolutely no identifiable reason.

It’s down there quietly keeping score.

Treat your septic system nicely. Watch your water usage, be careful what goes down the drain, and don’t wait until your yard starts sending you signs that something is wrong.

Because nothing ruins a perfectly good Tuesday like discovering your septic tank has decided to become an above-ground attraction.

A little throwback to Plattekill Day! 💩

We LOVE a good community event, especially when we get to team up with our friends at Obstacle Wonderland . They’re the best partners, we have way too much fun together, and can we talk about those medals?! 🏅

Great people. Great community. Great memories. A whole lot of Dawes Septic fun.

Make sure you stay until the VERY end of the video… there might just be a TWO P**P surprise waiting for you. 💩💩😂
