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:

A little heart to heart talk here.....

We take great pride in the relationships we've built with our customers and community over the last 75 years. I certainly dont take this milestone lightly, we are exceptionally grateful to still be here with you, and value each and every one of you.

I also understand that not every conversation will end with the answer someone was hoping for. We may not always agree, we may not be able to accommodate every request, and sometimes we simply aren't the right fit for someone's particular needs.

And that's okay.

What isn't okay is allowing frustration or disappointment to turn into disrespect toward another human being.

Our team shows up every day to learn and grow, to provide exceptional care in helping others, and to represent our legacy with professionalism and kindness. They deserve that same kindness in return.

I will always stand behind my team when they are doing their jobs respectfully and professionally. Their dignity and well-being will never be compromised for the sake of keeping someone's business.

We don't expect everyone to agree with us. We don't expect every interaction to be perfect. But we do expect mutual respect. It really is possible to agree to disagree in a respectful manner.

Being a customer does not give anyone permission to mistreat my team. Not a popular opinion, I know, I do not believe the customer is always right.

To the overwhelming majority of our customers who treat our team with patience, kindness, and appreciation, thank you.

I will not lose faith in humanity, and I truly hope those who are struggling are able to find the support system they need to work through their challenges. We are stronger together, and you are worth it.

Yours in Community,
Becky Dawes

How many miles would you go before changing your oil?

I always say, “the proof is in the pooin’!”

Two holes. One septic system. A whole lot going on underground!

We know what you’re thinking. Why are there TWO holes in the yard?!

Well, septic systems aren’t always a one-hole kind of operation!

Depending on the system, those openings can provide access to different compartments of the septic tank. One side handles what’s coming in, while the other helps manage what’s heading out toward the drain field.

Having access to both sides allows our crew to properly inspect, pump, and check for potential issues. Because when it comes to septic maintenance, you don’t want to do a half-assed job!

The lesson? What you see above ground is only a small part of what’s happening below it. Proper access and regular maintenance help keep your septic system doing its dirty work.

At Dawes Septic & Repair, we know our way around a hole. Or two.

Well, this is one way to get to the bottom of things!

Not every job is pretty, and some are downright messy. But when there’s a problem underground, the Dawes crew isn’t afraid to dig in, get dirty, and get the job done right.

From the first shovel of dirt to the final cleanup, we’re here to tackle the dirty work so you don’t have to!

Dawes Septic & Repair. We dig deep so you don’t have to!
