Get matched with top sewer main clearers in Government-Camp, OR

"They did a great job. It was quite an undertaking, digging a trench in the basement to re-route the sewer line, but they were efficient and courteous and it ended up being well worth the relatively short inconvenience. Their bid was very competitive and they gave a written guarantee."

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.

 

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.

 

Speedy suggested we decommission the current sand filter & replace it with a commercial grade filter.  Again this did not work.

 

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.

 

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.

I must say I have looked on other websites and was very surprised at the rating speedy was given.

 

This issue has been one of incredible frustration & I posted this review in a period of venting.

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.

 

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.

"Our septic system suddenly backed up into the house early one morning.  A call to A-Affordable Septic Service was made based on Angie's list reviews and a one hour window was obtained for a service appointment that same morning.  The office staff was upfront and clearly stated that a $110 hourly charge would apply to locate and excavate the septic system, to which I agreed.  This was in line with what competing service companies were quoting.  The tech (Marty) arrived 30 minutes into the estimated 1 hour service window.  He was very professional and quickly assessed the situation.  The septic tank access cover had not been excavated prior to his arrival so he located the tank and hand dug the hole.  He was careful to remove the sod separately and neatly pile the dirt.  Our soil is infamous for random rocks from fist sized to boulders.  He was again careful to pile them separately so they would not be used in the back-fill and impede future excavations.  
Unfortunately our tank orientation and an inferior, home made riser installed by the previous owner required Marty to spend several hours to gain full access to the septic tank.  After nearly 7 hours of work that continued into the dark evening, Marty persevered until he had pumped and cleaned the tank, found and removed the blockage and then confirmed free flow from the septic clean-out access point near the house to the septic tank inlet.  The work site was cleaned up plus made safe and secure in preparation for a second crew to come the next day and install a properly sized riser.  Marty said he would not leave until our septic system was functioning properly and he delivered. The cost for the amount of work provided by Marty was extremely fair and I unreservedly recommend his services.
A two man crew arrived in a clearly marked company vehicle the following day as expected to install the new riser.  Robbie patiently answered my many questions about the installation and possible options.  The installation went as explained and was completed in a little over an hour.  The crew groomed the site until I was completely satisfied with the appearance.  They were definitely aiming to please.  Again, A-Affordable provided excellent service. 
The total cost for both services was very reasonable, especially when considering the amount of services provided and the quality of work.

"Our existing septic tank was only a few years old, but the associated drainfield was failing and required replacement. Due to a small lot, our options were limited; but rather than a huge and unsightly bottomless sand filter, we opted for a less obtrusive (but expensive) treatment unit and pumps along with the needed replaced drainfield. Cory was very helpful in explaining complex options and costs."

"Looked for someone to clean my drains outside and saw Grumpy's Drain Service - name drew me in, family owned with photo had me calling. We had someone out within a couple of hours and could not have been more pleased. Professional, knowledgeable, fast & efficient - could not have asked for better. Kinda reminded me of what I grew up with - down home trustworthiness, honesty, and didn't try to sell me something I didn't need. I will highly recommend to anyone and would use them again."

"Treven from Pacific Crest Plumbing was fantastic.  He was efficient, knowledgeable and friendly.  My house is a very old house and the toilet was 55 years old.   There was a possibility of complications.  I think that due to his knowledge and experience he was able to avoid any complications.  He was also speedy which I'd think comes from 10+ years of working as a plumber.
Pacific Crest Plumbing was straightforward regarding costs of the toilet, no hidden fees.  I talked with Anna from the company quite a few times.  She was always clear and friendly and patient.  (Their charge was $200.00 less than another plumbing company
found on Angie's list.)  I will definitely refer this company to friends and anyone else who will listen.

"This is the third time I've used Simpson Plumbing since purchasing a groupon approx. 2 years ago. They have installed a new toilet, repaired/replaced a dishwasher disposal line, replaced a plumbing connection from my washer to the sewer and now replaced another portion of the sewer line.
I can't say enough good about Brad and his dad, Dale. Dale has been my serviceperson for all the work, Brad the contact for scheduling and billing. This is a top notch, ethical and professional business.

"The provider was courteous and efficient, but I thought the charge was excessive. I could have replaced the toilet tank components myself for a fraction of the the cost, but I lacked the expertise to diagnose the problem. (The tank made intermittent, loud running-water noises when the toilet was not in use.)
His diagnosis of the foul smell near the front porch, however, was way off. Affixing the cap of the sewer vent did NOT to eradicate the odor -- because it was coming from a faulty gas meter 4 feet west of the sewer cleanout! Ultimately, it was the gas company that stifled the odor by repairing the meter -- and at no charge to the customer.

"Came out and unclogged kitchen drain line, pricing was fair & Logan the tech was professional & knowledgeable. Will be using again"
