Environmental Works

The City of Portland required us to get a sewer scope done. Someone recommended Environmental Works to us. Scheduling the scope was painless. Our man showed up on time, IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR SNOW STORM!!! Also, it took me a while to remember where the main ""access"" was on our house, and he was VERY patient with us. Then, when we heard the total...we were shocked. It seemed too low a price for all the time and attention we had been given. We were totally pleased on all levels:)

Mike Runyan - was so prompt and timely that I missed the first time he came out to a proposed investment property to preform a sewer scope. He meet with the Seller's realtor who let him in to check water flow. Personally, I wanted to be present, so Mike took additional time out of his day as there was a slight communication error and came back to the property within 20min to perform a second scope and explain to me exactly what he was seeing. I really appreciate the hard work and professionalism of Mike Runyan and plan to recommend his service in the future to all friends and family.

Not what I hoped for; Honestly. I did some price comparisons - unfortunately AFTER
they did the work. I could have done MUCH better with either of the other contractors, for the actual work performed. Not so much dissing their honesty, but the things they should have known about as contractors could fill volumes, and ended up costing me a lot! NOT HAPPY

I was disappointed by the destruction of my landscaping after Environmental Works removed an oil tank on a property I recently bought. They did not give me an opportunity to save the mature and valuable plants that were a special part of the landscape. Furthermore they hauled away part of my sidewalk without communicating to me about whether I wanted it or not. I did not feel that they were interested in doing careful/mindful business. My impression is that they were in a hurry to make their money.

In the process of buying a home and had the folks at Environmental Works do sewer scope, oil tank locate, and radon inspections, to make sure we knew what we were getting in to. Not only were they flexible with scheduling, but the crew that came out on inspection day were friendly and did a great job of talking me through the details of their inspection results. Even the office staff, who took care of billing, were so personable and friendly. While I know that this isn't extensive experience with the company, this first impression was wonderful, and they're on our short list if we need future work done on our home!

Environmental Works recently completed a radon test and mitigation system install at my home in NE Portland.

Joel and his team was punctual, friendly, and thorough. They did good work. The radon reduction system is quiet and made a minimal impact on the appearance of my home.

I also was impressed their contract is straightforward and provides reassuring guarantees.

I found my home in outer SE Portland had a radon problem by doing a Home Depot test and sending it to a lab after hearing a radio show on KBOO that mentioned radon in outer SE. I contacted Environmental Works when the initial results showed that my house had 7 times of radon that the EPA says is safe and 10 times what the WHO declares is a safe amount.

Joel and his staff did a second test to confirm that I had a radon problem, then offered the most cost effective plan to mitigate my radon problem. This involved a three-phase project (my house proved to be more difficult to mitigate than most). Joel and his staff were punctual, professional, and worked to solve my radon situation in a timely and efficient manner.

I was pleased with Environmental Works and would recommend them to anyone with a radon problem.

I was initially nervous about the assessment of the radon mitigation system, especially about its visibility from the street. Environmental Works went above and beyond to address my concerns. They made two complimentary visits to discuss the plan in detail and to alleviate the anxieties I had about the system's location. Their expertise was invaluable--they made sure I would achieve the lowest possible radon levels rather than trying to sell me on something they couldn't guarantee. I'm so glad I listened to their advice!

The installation was beautifully done by Jackson and his colleague, and I'm extremely happy with the result. Our radon levels dropped from 3.5+ to 1.1. Both Devlin and Will were fantastic--Devlin was very professional, and Will stayed onsite for the first hour or so to ensure Jackson had all the information he needed. The whole process was smooth, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. Highly recommend!

Lionel did a fabulous job from start to finish on having a very complex, very old in ground heating oil tank removed, leaking, high numbers, very close to house and nieghbors house. Whole thing was very complex, but he handled it like it was nothing. He was confident and knowledgeable, and walked me through the entire process.
Their whole crew was incredible. The excavator operator was absolutely the best as well. But they all are true professionals. They left the job site spotless!

Hi Sam, wanted to take a moment to thank Drew and Russ for their work today! They were very kind and patient with our questions. They both explained everything they were doing and kept a very clean workspace, including vacuuming affected areas. We can't say enough good things about these two gentlemen.

For those considering Environmental Works, we met Sam through our real estate agent, as our new home had very high radon levels. The home had a passive radon removal system, but it had issues. Sam and his team converted the passive system to an active system with a fan and muffler for noise reduction. Drew and Russ arrived on time, and immediately explained what they were going to be doing, and kept us informed at every step of the process . They were clean, presentable and very friendly. A clean workspace was maintained throughout the job, and at the end of the day they came in with a vacuum cleaner to make sure things looked better than when they arrived Drew and Russ even finished a couple hours earlier than expected.

We highly recommend Sam and Environmental Works!
