Antonio and Jose did a fantastic job. They went above and beyond. The entire company team was great to work with.
Gave me a quote for a partial reapair that was 40% less than anywhere else and Got the job done in a few hours. The guys that repaired the line were really friendlY and professional. Would recommend in a heartbeat and love that they’re local.
Had my sewer main scoped and a basement drain cleared. Both technicians were knowledgeable and courteous.
Hired these guys to do a CIPP repair unless sewer line. Was Great all the way through. Had a little hiccup with communication regarding completion timeline after some equipment broke. But other than that. All went well.
Amazing work was done by this company--I am super impressed. They responded to a flooded basement almost immediately. They had to do a sewer renewal project, dug up our front yard and then put it all back together beautifully without damaging anything. Jose and Antonio were fantastic and friendly, easy to work…
Fixed a cracked cast iron pipe under our basement floor - not a fun issue to have, but glad it’s all done now!
A friend referred this company to me and I am so glad. Jose, Ernesto and Adam did a great job of lining my sewer pipe even though they ran into unexpected difficulties. Their persistence made it work, saving me several thousands of dollars if I'd had to replace the pipe itself.
Taylor and Taylor were great!! Dealt a lot of work arounds but did it with a smile and went right to work to get my job done!! I am super happy with Sewer Renewal. The whole team is great!! This company gets the job done with a great attitude!!
The team was great to work with from consultation through completion!
Taylor, Dylan, Jose and Junior were a great team. It was a challenging project and they managed it like pros. I really appreciate their work to cleanup my yard after the project was done.
My experience with Plumbing and Sewer Renewal Specialists has been great! Kamyrn was knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful during the estimating process. I have a construction background and often when speaking with vendors I am talked down to, and I never felt that with Kamryn. On the day of the work, the team…
Very detailed. Very knowledgeable was able to explain the process
Both Tony and Taylor we super friendly and professional. Went above and beyond to make sure all our questions were answered.
I'm happy to contribute to the 5-star review collection of Plumbing and Sewer Renewal Specialists after a bid-to-completion true 5-star experience. Reading reviews was very helpful in pointing me towards this company to begin with so I hope others can read about my experience and give them a chance to get your…
Dylan and José did a great job. In the process of the repair, which included capping an abandoned party line, they went the extra mile and reverse-scoped my line…finding a second abandoned party line entry point! Both are now permanently capped. They were consistently professional and left the yard clean and tidy, as well.
The team from Sewer Renewal were first rate. Dylan, Jose, Taylor and Omar are hard working young men. Very professional, communicative and polite. They treated our yard with care and did a great job working around all of our plants in the yard. They left our property in really good shape once job was complete. I…
My experience with Sewer Renewal was nothing less than 5 Star! The customer service was outstanding from start to finish! The crew consisted of Dylan, Jose and Taylor and the business owner David who worked tirelessly to get the job done right. Having any kind of sewer problem presents a significant level of stress…
I highly recommend Sewer Renewal Specialists. After a camera inspection showed a blockage in our 101-year-old sewer line, I engaged them to jet the line. When it was determined that the line could not be jetted, they did a deep excavation and a CIPP reline job on all the remaining ceramic from the house to the…
Prompt, friendly & great communications!
February 2024 I’ll be blunt: Sewer Renewal Specialists is the only contractor in Portland that I’d trust to do this kind of sewer renewal. This is the second project I’ve had SRS do for me (review of the first one is below this review). SRS applied an epoxy spin coat to a worn out 70 yr old, nearly horizontal 2”…
We had to replace our 120 year old sewer pipe so we shopped around before speaking with Cameron at Sewer Specialists who gave us the best quote. He was confident that his team of experienced technicians could take care of the job without having to tear up our entire floor. Before long, the amazing team of Will and…
Well as much as anyone wants to be without their sewer system our repair was relatively easy. Taylor and Will were excellent to work with! They took time to explain the procedure and answered any questions I had. When the project was completed they made sure the work area was cleaned up and even reseeded the lawn…
I called Sewer Renewal Specialists when my sewer line suddenly stopped draining after a heavy rain. David came out on short notice. He spent a long time in a very shallow crawlspace with some very big spiders to diagnose the problem and recommend a solution. The figure he quoted for the work I needed was less than I…
It's weird spending so much money on something I won't ever notice. I never noticed anything about my sewer line before, and I'll continue to not notice anything about it. But I guess this is part of being an adult, and part of owning a house. If I ever did notice something about my sewer line, that would mean I…
Not the cheapest, but professional and quick. Kept us informed, kept the city happy, got the job done without fuss. Worth the money.
We had a very good experience working with Sewer Renewal. All of the staff (office staff, project coordinator, technicians and owner) we interacted with were professional, easy to communicate with, responsive and thorough in their work. The technicians worked diligently to complete our project quickly even though…
Expert work on my tricky CIPP job. Kamryn shepherded me through the whole process. William and Jose were great. Dave made sure everything was perfect. Huge relief to have it done. I have total confidence in all of them.
David and his team were very professional and great to work with. I would highly recommend them.
Our home failed sewer inspection due to a deteriorating concrete line running to the city main. We had 2 companies give us quotes that differed by over $10k. Due to this discrepancy we decided to seek a 3rd opinion so we called Sewer Renewal Specialists. Thank goodness we did! Not only did they come in with the…
I used Sewer Renewal for my agency, but will refer them to anyone I know. Great to work with from their coordinating office to the work completed. Thank you again.
I cannot say enough good things about this company they were on time and extremely professional in helping my clients old root infested pipe look brand new with this amazing technology! The best part was that the yard was undisturbed and the areas they worked in looked better than before! 10 Stars!!!
EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE!!! The owner, David, responded to a Friday night emergency to open our clogged sewer line, and his camera inspection revealed a collapsing sewer lateral. The initial repair quotation contemplated having to excavate; however, they managed to find a way to do the repair by inserting a liner, which…
Great company, from fast guaranteed bid, to clean up. Starting with Joseph and finishing with the Lining crew, Taylor and Jose, we couldn't have been more pleased with the professionalism and result. Thank you!
We had a plumber out because we were sure there was a backup. Drain Hound came out and It took him 5 hours of trying to find that out that our pipes had broken. He gave us this company as a recommendation, and we are so glad we did! This company is professional and polite, but best of all they are very knowledgeable…
The Sewer Renewal Specialists were prompt with their appointments, were clear in what was needed, provided a clear concise estimate that met my budget, answered all my questions, and delivered on all their promises. The team was professional and very courteous. I am extremely happy with the results and would not…
Had to repair the outdoor sewer line in order to close on the sale of my historic West Hills home. Service was prompt and efficient.
The job went fine, they showed up when they said they would, did what they said they were going to do, for the price quoted. If it was not for the fact that the sewer worked when they left you never would have known they had been here. The transaction was so unremarkable that when they sent me a request for this…
Very open and honest. Knowledgeable and explains systems on customer level. Would recommend this company for a simple clog to an overhaul of sewer lines. Love this company and so glad we found/used them so we know who to call with any future needs.
When you need sewer repair everything else stops. Sewer Renewal Specialist team gets my 5 STAR rating. They were prompt, effective, and tidied up so that you could hardly tell that anything had been disturbed. I could not have asked for a better experience.
Sewer renewal is consistently quick to respond to short time frames, and does exceptional work. All around great company!
