This is who I call every time the lot gets clogged up. They are good about following up on a regular basis if I ever forget to get a hold of them. It’s great to have such a great company to work with.

As someone who owns a business in the service industry, it is refreshing to find a company who goes above and beyond for their customers. A local plumber recommended them. They arrived same day and did an outstanding job. They even explained the septic system and how it all worked. I couldn't be happier with their services. The price was right and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

GREAT JOB! We had a complicated plumbing situation and had to have a new sewer pump and tank. They were not able to complete the job the same day, but they did the following day and everything works PERFECTLY! Everything was neat and tidy, We could not be happier!

I realize this may come as a shock to some people, but calling around for help with your septic system is not the highlight of any day, month or year. Calling River City makes that a whole lot easier. The dispatch customer service person is always sweet and helpful. The work is always done when they say it will be and only for the prices they tell us we will pay.

When I worked at a hotel doing management work we hit some problems with the parking lot. My manager asked me to make some calls and find someone to conduct an inspection and offer ideas to reconstruct it in a way that would be better for our customers. Only the customer service agent at River City was kind enough to walk me through the process, allowed me to ask questions, and made me feel like I wasn't just an errand boy doing the bidding of the boss. When we did end up hiring them, they had the whole parking lot done before the deadline they expected to. It was fantastic.

Here in the Northwest, the weather can be unpredictable. Last spring, after a few days of heavy rain, my yard was completely flooded. We couldn't get in or out. I called River City Environmental and they were out there within hours, reviewing options and getting started. Their help limited water damage to my property. I am very happy with their service.

I requested River City Environmental services, because I've had a clogged drain in one of my businesses. The specific service I requested was jetting the pipe lines and camera. When the guy from River City came, he assessed the job and suggested the snaking, instead of what I requested for in the beginning. I trusted him, as he was supposed to be the Professional . After about 7 days later, the drain was clogged again!
The fact of my business was closed for a few days for the Holidays. I paid for snaking and sewer cleaning $1,102 that time. I called to ask about the warranty for their services and they say they don't offer any warranty. I asked to talk to the manager whose name is Jared, and he listened to the recorded phone call when the lady said: Yes and No offer warranty.
I got a money refund for Overcharges and not for the warranty.

I called River City to redo what it was not correctly done, and still, I was charged $491 on my card which was about $220 more than what the manager and I agreed for jetting and camera. I had to call again to ask to charge me for the right amount.

It was a hassle dealing with this company, I don't recommend them.

I have used River City Environmental for many years on a variety of jobs. Recently, however, they decided to NOT charge my credit card for the amount that I had signed for at the end of the work at the job site. Instead of the $290.00 invoice for which I signed, they charged my credit card $1,062.15! They admitted to an error in the material cost but stuck with the increased labor charges as well as a brand new fuel surcharge that was not on the invoice I signed. I even sent the accounting department a photo I had of the tech's computer screen that was the only invoice they could give me. The $290.00 job ended up costing me $350.40.
To be clear, the repair work performed was fine, and very timely. Their current invoicing system and accounting department are not to be trusted. It is is bothersome to feel like this company does not value a repeat customer after so many years.

They showed up late. Their equipment didn't work. They had to come back out and tried to charge me extra. They offered a partial refund but instead charged my card again. They sent video through the mail, and the video is such low quality I am surprised they found a camera that bad. How do you not have the ability to send video online? Every step of this transaction has been a slog.

Terrible. Avoid at all costs. It is 7/14/19 , exactly one month after firing off a letter describing the several problems they caused on a simple septic-dosing-tank pump replacement......and guess what? Absolutely ZERO response.

From their lackadaisical attitude about making MULTIPLE billing errors (including one that approached outright fraud...I have a copy) to the need to keep sending guys out to my house at $300-400 a pop, to essentially ignoring my original complaint....I wound up paying nearly $3000 to replace a $900 pump. They had to pump my tank twice because they never diagnosed the pump failure originally (because the right guy wasn't sent until LATER), sent multiple people out to do repeat work and the end result was over $900 in unnecessary, repeat services (2 septic tank pump-outs and an unnecessary plumber visit to tell me what I already knew from another guy.) Add to that, $600 in billing errors, that took multiple calls and emails and a couple weeks for each one to resolve. Not impressive

The various folks that actually did the work were awesome. Professional and courteous.....but their mgmt team has set them up to fail by not having someone manage the process from beginning to end. And their lack of response to my letter is telling. Avoid.

This company was referred to me by our home inspector. I called in the morning and was greeted with excitement and great service. I was told it would be no problem to get a septic inspection set up, had a temporary account setup and was told to ask the owners to call in and state we had permission to schedule an inspection. I was told I’d get a call back to confirm the inspection. 4 hours after getting confirmation from my realtor that the owners had called and granted access, I called rose city back as id not received a call from them.
I was told they could no longer do the inspection as they stated to me hours before that they could. I asked why I was given conflicting information and I was hung up on. I would not recommend this company to anybody who expects any level of customer service in their transactions. They might be cheap, but if their service is anything like their customer service, you’ll want to avoid it like the plague.

Wouldn't even give it one star. Ordered water for my pool, filled it with gross rusty water. It is now 1/2 full with bright orange water. In the past I have received two truckloads of clean water but this time. one truckload of rusty water and they tried to charge me more then I had paid in the past. The girl on the phone said you ordered water and we brought you water, I understand it not usable but it still water .
Needless to say, not paying the bill, not using them ever again and sadly still no full pool.

Horrible service and office staff. Would give 0 stars if we could. Needed results of the inspection for the sale of our home. Got the run around from the office staff and was told it could take up to 5 business days to locate the inspection paperwork because it was with the billing department. Called for 2 days with no improvement and no report. We paid before the service was completed then there didn't seem to be any urgency in providing the results to us. The person performing the work did decide to discuss the results of the work with the buyer's realtor though. Also did not appear on time to perform the work and cancelled once. We never got our report. Also, they kept our credit card info on file and charged us for a service without our authorization! Please don't use this company. You may save money, but you get what you pay for in the end!

I rented 3 porta potties from them for a family reunion party at my house. They were late delivering and the toilets were dirty and needed to be hosed out on site. There was no soap in the dispensers and one didn’t hss as be a toilet paper holder in it. They were supposed to be picked up on Monday and they no call no showed. I called on Wednesday as they were still not picked up and were stinky and they said they’d come clean them and then pick up Thursday or Friday. It’s now Thursday morning and nobody came to clean them. Because of the hot weather we had to keep our windows open at night and smelled stinky porta potty all night! We’ll see if they actually come to get them today, I’ll keep you posted. I am never using this company again for portable toilets, it’s been nothing but issues from the start.
Update: They came out to clean them on Thursday night and the truck pump made a terrible loud noise and started smoking like crazy, so no go on pumping. They came back out on Friday and pumped them and back on Saturday to pick them up.

That seems reasonable based on my late call and from the 3 calls I made, you won’t find a better price.

Overpriced and horrible sweeping done. Charge Minimum then say there are other options after complaining second time. 2 hour minimum normally covers drive time. I get charged for 3 hours, your sweeper isn't here for more than a half hour, raises so much dust that it becomes a traffic hazard for the freeway. So after complaining I get charged for your driver stopping at the local store for a half hour for a total of a 3 1/2 hour job when he wasn't even here 30 minutes. So not fair.

While purchasing a house with a septic system (our first septic system), we had limited time for inspections to be done, as is normal while purchasing a house. We hired River City to handle the job.

Their inability to communicate from the very beginning was baffling.

The day of the inspection and pumping we got a call for payment, fine. Before even hiring them we were told that we would have our inspection report within 48 hours. After several days and an unknown number of phone calls we finally got them to email a copy of it to us.

Meanwhile we were contacted by an excavator about digging up the D Box because it was too deep to hand dig and OSHA requires shoring for holes that deep, fine. We were then told that it would be approximately an additional $1,000 or more on top of the original $635 that we already paid. So we canceled that part of the service.

Now, finally, 2 weeks after our service we receive a copy of the inspection report and the invoice that shows what we paid but at the same time noticed that there was another charge to our credit card a week after the first one for another $300.

Their explanation of the delay in receiving our report, the additional charges and the fact that no one could communicate with us leaves me to say...DO NOT USE RIVER CITY ENVIROMENTAL!! For the kind of money you are paying, you deserve a lot more respect!

I had been getting hints that I had to do something about cleaning out the septic system for months. It was my fault that it caved. It was horrible! There was no way we could live with the results. I called River City Environmental and they came to the rescue. The staff and customer service there are all real professionals. You are not left in the dark about anything.

We really like River City Environmental. They have taken care of our tanks for years. The work is quality and the price is always a great quote. Since they have been servicing our system, we have not had any problems.

I think River City saved my house. They responded so fast to the yuck in my yard and that’s how I discovered we weren’t on the sewer system, but a septic tank. They took such good care of us that I couldn’t be more satisfied by how well they handled everything.

River City is the best in Portland! Super helpful, always patient, and totally saved us from a nightmare situation with another grease trap/oil company that has since gone under.

I used River City Environmental based on a recommendation and could not be more displeased with the service provided. I'm only giving 2 stars because the man who performed the service was kind. I was charged more than $500 to solely inspect a root problem; no actual work was done to help the issue. Then I was told the excavation team would be in touch. It has been 3 weeks and no one has bothered calling me - you can't even flush my toilet or use the laundry because of the overgrown roots - and today I received a charge to my credit card without even receiving an invoice. If you need a company that will respond and solve your issue quickly, go with OC drain. **UPDATE: The customer service team apologized and refunded part of the cost**

Everyone worked really hard on this project. They decommissioned two septic tanks and a water tank buried deep in the yard. More then expected. They ran into some issues, not their fault, but the city miss marked the lines. They cleared up the issue quickly. Very polite and friendly. Went above and beyond to clean up yard debris and even a tree I had cut down. They dirt is left smooth and flat ready for planting new grass. Over all I agree they did a great job. Thank you.

My septic system was not working as well as it should be so I made a call to River City Environmental. They showed up when they said they would. They pumped out my tanks and fixed my septic system. The office quoted me a price for that service and thats what I payed the service man when he completed the job. I will use them again if needed.

I was adding an addition on the back of a house and architect told me there was a drywell in the backyard.

I hired my excavator and tore up the whole back yard! Nothing anywhere.

Exasperated, I called River City, and within minutes they told me exactly where it was in the front yard!

I have called them numerous times since this experience and they have come through with the right information. And better still, they have never asked me to pay them for this information.

Love these guys n gals!

Thank you so much,

I wish I could rate less than one star. We had a real estate related home inspected and they charged our credit card twice for one charge $515 and charged for 2 homes for another charge $125. It has been a week since I called to ask for a credit and it still has not happened. I recommended that my real estate agent should not use River City in the future. By the way, we didn’t receive the inspection report until after the real estate deadline. Not happy

My septic system seemed to be failing. I had large puddles of water that smelled bad where my drain field was located. I made a call to River City. They were able to come out quickly and assess the problem. Part of my drain field collapsed. It took a few days, but they were able to fix it. The price was reasonable and I am happy with the quality of work.

I rely on them to give me recommendations on appropriate maintenance services and they are honest when it is not needed. :)

I try to take care of my septic system. I know that repairs and upkeep can be expensive. I recently had quite a few people over for my daughter's wedding. The septic just couldn't handle the usage. The next day I had to call River City to come out to pump the tank before it started backing up into the house. They came right away and they charged me what I was quoted over the phone.

HIDDEN PRICES!!! BE FOREWARNED! i was charged an extra $160 that is unaccounted for in the invoice that my credit card company received - this was due to me disputing the charge. (I never received an invoice - see below).
These guys are scam artists. They will charge you for materials that are not used for your project. They willam also charge you approx $100 for a fuel surcharge, even if they are a few minutes away. They will charge you for the time it takes to get supplies - our experience was that it took over one and half hours. The manager, Chaz, will back up his staff's dishonesty and will refuse your calls. Avoid this company. They do not give you a receipt and once they get your signature you give up all rights to question the amount they stole from you.

I would not wish this situation on my worst enemy. That is to be in a position to desperately require your septic system to be repaired. It is the worst possible nightmare. But if you ever find yourself in that situation the people that you want to call is River City Environmental. They will get the job done right.

Had River City look at septic. Pleasant, professional fellow Ricardo. Most septic tank uncovered. Dug 10 minutes, found lid, level in tank very low. No need to pump. Will charge service call he said. Was there an hour. Bill comes, show 2.5 hours.for digging. $ 245. Wow. I have called twice and talked to folks. Waiting for supervisor to call me back. I e-mailed a few weeks back. no response. They seem busy and unhappy. Last person said she was going to swear at me. Why? Because their reason for bill is fiction.Have not paid, hope to get resolved. Be careful.

Horrible at communication. Never returned any calls. Never gave me a quote as to what was or needed to be done. Took 2 weeks to finish a job, and another week to get things posted and cleared on the county website. Very poor customer service. Never followed through with anything that was asked. I felt like they nickel and dimed me because they would take to long to return to do the job so they had to keep pumping my septic and charging me each time. Avoid this company at all costs. I didn't even want to give them one star, but couldn't post this review without checking at least one.

In August of 2018 I purchased a townhome in Molalla, Oregon. During the home inspection, a belly was identified in the sewer line, which allowed for 20+ feet of standing water and grease to remain in the pipe. The sellers agreed to have the sewer repaired prior to closing on the sale of the home. The sellers, unknowingly to me, hired River City Environmental (RCE) to complete the sewer repair and entered into contract with them. It was later explained to me the sellers did not have liquid cash on hand to pay for the work, so an agreement was made between them and RCE to pay for the job with the proceeds of the home post-closing. Unfortunately, the sellers never paid RCE for the work they had done.
For the past three years I have received periodic demand notices from RCE for payment owed to them by the sellers they went into contract with. After receiving each demand letter, either myself or my realtor reached out to RCE to explain the situation, and how I did not order the work, did not sign any contract for the work, and that I purchased the house after the work had been completed. Each time RCE’s response has been they were just trying to make waves in hopes the sellers would do the right thing and pay their outstanding bill. RCE representatives have even suggested to me that I contact the sellers, who are complete strangers to me, and put pressure on them myself. The representative also told me they found I was liable to pay the outstanding bill because I, “Benefited from the work that was done.” Once again, I did not order the work to be done by RCE, did not know who the sellers hired to do the work, and did not sign any contract with RCE to have the work done. Everything was ordered by the sellers as a condition of the sale.
I no longer own the home in Molalla, and have since moved. RCE has tracked myself and my family to our new residence to issue the latest demand notice. They are stalking me despite knowing I am not the party they went into contact with.
As of today (6/14/2023) I have been served with paperwork from the Small Claims Department of Multnomah County, Oregon. RCE has listed the sellers, their realtor, my realtor, and myself as defendants in a $10,512 lawsuit. RCE is intentionally choosing to ignore the facts of who they entered the contract with and are now attempting to drag uninvolved parties through the court system. Their behavior is unethical and unbecoming of a professional business.

Not only is this company twice as expensive as anybody else around, but they will not take responsibility for faulty work. They almost caused a flooding of sewer material at our facility, by using parts not rated for this kind of application. When we tried to contact them about the problems, they flat out denied they had done the work. Even though we have before and after pictures and videos. Very unprofessional behavior, and they refused to even come out and look at the problems they had caused. I will certainly recommend to anybody to steer clear of this company.
