We used Root Excavation for a sewer line replacement several years ago. They were on time, professional and finished exactly when they said they would. Recently listed home for sale and when sewer scope showed an issue near the street (but on our sidet) they worked me into schedule and fixed the connection point so I could close on time. The office staff is knowledgeable, responsive, professional ( it is refreshing to actually speak to someone and get questions answered). If they did not know the answer to my question Tim (owner) called me back. Bottom line ...I would use them again if my new house

I gave a 5-star review in September 2019, but recently my opinion of this company has changed. After the Portland winter snow storm of February 11-13, 2021, a very large sink hole developed at the water meter excavation site for the Root Excavation's sewer line replacement of August 2019. See the attached photo. The sink hole was beyond a simple repair job. I contacted Root Excavation to ask them if they would do the repair on February 24 and they promised to come and fill the sink hole at their expense. I understood that because Root Excavation couldn't backfill and compact the

Root Excavation really botched our sewer line replacement. They broke the water line and even the concrete box for the water meter, which wound up costing us several thousand dollars (they were quick to point out that they weren't in any way responsible).
Also when they re-poured the sidewalk, the caution tape wasn't set up well and no attempt was made to match the color of the surrounding concrete. Really nothing was done well.
The only good thing I can say is that all the workers I talked to were super nice. But ultimately I would prefer competence 😔.

They were the most affordable, but the quality of work showed it. Took a long time to get in touch with us. Told us we didn't need to be home for work once schedule and called email 4-5x per day saying they needed us home. I work in a hospital and wasn't able to reply. Then they killed two of bushes, replanted my tree crooked, and only sort of put our chain link fence back together. They "reseeded" a giant dirt mound after tearing up our yard and it wasn't leveled at all. I contacted office manager about recovering some cost for all the work it took to fix everything

I was referred to RE by the realtor of the house I was purchasing. Although another contractor did the initial inspection, I went with the realtor's recommendation and was very pleased. They were on time, the work was completed, and all of the disturbed earth was replaced and fresh gravel put down. Great communication with Bridget at every step... we appreciate the attention to detail!

When we purchased our house the seller used Root Excavation to replace a section of sewer line that was in very rough shape and decommission an old cesspool. Everything went smoothly for 6 months before we experienced a blockage. Root Excavation warrantied their work for three years and sent someone out within a few hours of my initial call. The visit was very informative and involved a scope to identify the location of the blockage. The location was at or near the work they performed and they decided to cover the repair under the warranty. The very next morning Root Excavation was at our home
