Get matched with top sewer main clearers in Gaston, OR

"<p>First I want to say that the prior owner of this home did not put in adequate drain field for the size of this home or properly account for how many people would be living in this home.  This is no fault of speedy septic & I do not hold them responsible for prior home owner errors.</p> <p> </p> <p>That being said Speedy Septic did diagnose problem and installed a new drain field that was supposed to accommodate the size of the home and the people living in it.  It didn't work.</p> <p> </p> <p>Speedy suggested we decommission the current sand filter & replace it with a commercial grade filter.  Again this did not work.</p> <p> </p> <p>Our home has the capacity of over 3000 gallons of septic waste with tanks installed by speedy.  Currently these tanks have been converted with the city of Portland's approval and with necessary and required permits to a holding pond situation.  We currently have an approved plan by the city to connect out home with the sewer.  Design took eight months to complete and an additional 2-3 months while speedy sent or took bids for work to be completed.  Speedy claimed that delay was the fault of the city, claiming that design had to be submitted and resubmitted multiple times.  Speedy provided no documentation of delay and very little communication with us.   Whenever WE contacted speedy we were told "it's almost done" or city this or city that.  Final estimate is upwards of $68000. We have not determined what course of action we are going to take.</p> <p> </p> <p>As my wife and I run an adult care foster home from this location our options are somewhat limited. Issue will ultimately be resolved. What form resolution will take remains to be seen.</p> <p>I must say I have looked on other websites and was very surprised at the rating speedy was given.</p> <p> </p> <p>This issue has been one of incredible frustration & I posted this review in a period of venting.</p> <p>While venting I did not fully take into account the cities role in this problem. Currently policy is for homeowners to exhaust all other options before they will consider homeowners to connect with city sewer.  This policy is the policy of the city not speedy septic.</p> <p> </p> <p>I have been in contact with Speedy & I am very impressed with their willingness to resole this issue after reading my posting and review.  In addition I am more than happy to adjust my rating & review and look forward to working with Speedy to completely resolve this issue.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> </p>"

"From the time I submitted the request on HomeAdvisor, they came out within two hours. Jeremy, the technician was very professional, identifying the problem, and recommending the solution. He was able to correct the problem within an hour timeframe and was able to show me on his scope the inside of the sewer line. He did a great job of explaining the problem in terms I could understand, and cleaned up thoroughly prior to leaving. I would definitely use his service again should I need it!"

"Technician was friendly and helpful, explained underlying problem with my leach line and pumped tank.  Cleared leach line for now but will need further repair in the future as line has sunk slightly and roots have intruded."

"Clog Busters are outstanding, I've used them on two occasions. The first was replacing sewer lateral line that was made of 'Orangeburg' material. I had 4 proposals and theirs was the most economic and innovative. They used a creative technology that saved me thousands of dollars and was much less invasive than others. I just called them again for a simple blockage. They were very quick to respond and ensured me their previous work was warrantied. They were very thorough, clean and courteous. From Tricia in the office, Matt working on our problem, to Tom the owner their customer service was outstanding...."

"The sewer was unplugged quickly and he repaired the gutter while he was at it."

"I want to give my highest recommendation to PDX Sewer Solutions. Rob went well above and beyond to help us out when we had a very bad sewer problem. He came out on the weekend to scope it out and to see if he could give us any temporary relief. He then gave us really clear options for fixing the issue. He was then able to work us into his already booked week, knowing that our sewer problem had basically left us without any working bathrooms,- and in a full family household, that’s not great situation. When he and his son showed up they worked quickly to fix the problem, keeping the mess contained and out of our living areas. And he was fairly priced to boot! Rob and his crew were an absolute pleasure to work with. He brings many years of experience and you feel you can really trust him, which is a big deal these days. If you have any sewer issues, call PDX Sewer Solutions. Thanks again guys. - Teacher Tony."

"<p>Our tenant's laundry sink in the basement backed up and overflowed on a Sunday while they using their washing machine.  The kitchen sink is right above that and any water drained from it was also causing even more water to be backed up into the laundry sink.  My husband attempted to snake the drain through a clean-out in the line but was unable to get the snake past a bend in the pipe below the concrete floor.  Sunday night at 7:30pm, I called Victor from West Side Drain after reading their reviews (and other plumber's reviews, some of which said that West Side was ultimately the company that actually was able to clear AND repair the problem, if needed).  He cheerfully answered the phone even though it was a Sunday night, and we scheduled him to come out at 11am the very next day as I did not want my tenants to be inconvenienced more than they already had been.  Victor called just before 10am to say he would be there in a few minutes, as he had finished his previous job (we had already agreed he could come earlier if he finished that one early).  He met my husband and looked over the situation, collected his power snake tool and proceeded to clear the blockage.  He ran water through the drain from the laundry sink as he snaked the line all the way to the main sewer at the street and it is now running freely.  Wonderful!  He was polite, friendly and competent and did not try to upsell us on anything.  We had questions about our plumbing system, and he patiently explained how it all comes together (as best we could all see anyway, as it is under our concrete basement floor).  We are very satisfied with the service West Side Drain provided and with Victor who came out to do the work.  We will use them again for our drain-clearing needs.</p> <br />"

"Grumpy's Drains was the only company who could get us on their schedule within a week. A half hour before our appointment time, Keith called to let me know he was on his way and then showed up exactly on time. My husband had tried to snake the drains multiple times with no success. Keith was able to clean the clog out of the tub in less than 10 minutes (water balloon and hair clog). He then went to work on the pedestal sink. That was a much more difficult clog while working in a tight space. Keith was cheerful, funny and kind the entire time. The first clog cost a flat $178 and the additional drain was $88. It was money well spent and I would absolutely call on this company again in the future."

"Both guys were prompt and kept us informed of when they thought they would arrive. The drain cleaner guy spent an hour locating and digging down to the septic tank. He cleaned the inlet to the tank so water would flow better. He didn't think it would be beneficial to clean the drain lines. He said he didn't want to have to charge us the extra fee since the drains weren't the real problem. The septic pump guy was able to come in and get his job done quickly because the tank was already exposed. I was very happy with their service. The only thing I would ask is that, next time, I would like for them to replace the soil over the septic tank."
