PAID PROMOTIONAL FEATURE
Built on the principles of hard work, honesty, and integrity, Leesburg Septic Inc. has developed quite a reputation throughout Lake County and Central Florida.
In fact, the company derives most of its business through word of mouth, a sure sign that each job is handled with the highest level of professionalism and reliability.
The company originally opened as Leesburg Concrete and Septic Tanks in 1983. In 2005, Kami Suggs and her husband, Bradley, purchased the business from her parents and renamed it Leesburg Septic Inc. To say they have much pride in owning and operating their own company would be an understatement.
“I love having my own business,” Kami says. “You have to be passionate if you want to succeed in today’s world. It takes a personal touch to rise above your competition, and we put that personal touch into our business on a daily basis.”
The company can handle all your septic needs, ranging from pumping out tanks to conducting drain fi eld repairs and installing new tanks and drains for homeowners and contractors. Leesburg Septic also conducts inspections for realtors, potentially saving homeowners money, headache, and time. Leesburg Septic Inc. services Lake, Sumter, Marion, Orange, and Volusia counties.
“We don’t do sod or plumbing,” Kami says. “We specialize in septic and stick to what we know. We do septic and do it well.”
Because their company is family-owned and operated, Kami and Bradley see their employees, customers, and community as one big family, too. After all, both are lifelong Lake County residents and as a result strive to treat each client as a friend.
“For us, it’s important to hire honest, hard-working people because they’re a refl ection of who we are,” Kami says. “We treat our employees like family and even paid for one to go on his honeymoon. When you fi nd good employees you have to hang onto them because we don’t want them going anywhere else.”
The combination of good employees and a personal touch is why Leesburg Septic Inc. saw its sales triple only three years after the Suggs purchased the company. It’s also why local companies such as Harbor Hills, Kevco Builders, American Family Homes, and Hegstrom Homes rely on the company for their septic needs.
“When I leave my house, I transfer the company phone to my cell phone so I can answer,” Kami says. “The last thing a person with septic problems wants is to hear an answering machine. They want someone who answers their initial call, and they want someone who cares. That’s what we strive to provide.”
