Gardner Septic Service Reviews | Riverside, CA Septic Company

I have been a builder for over 45 years. They don't make them like Gardner Septic anymore. Professional, reasonable pricing, great service, and someone you can count to to do the job right, efficiently, and you are back in business. Thanks to Greg and Alex.

Started to hear that all famous bubbling in the master bathroom and realized it was time to get my service done. Thank God it didn't back up into the house. It was close. Texted Greg at Gardner Septic and scheduled an appointment for the following Monday. Alex was on time as scheduled and very helpful and knowledgeable about the septic systems. I will need a new leach line field installed eventually. And plan on using them at that time. Thank you, Greg and Alex, for the response and quick pump. It is much appreciated. I will recommend your services to all my family and friends, and neighbors.

I've used Gardner Septic multiple times over the years and they've always been extremely professional, punctual, and reasonable with pricing. I called some other places to get quotes and some places wanted to charge extra per foot of hose needed to reach my septic tank to pump. Gardner Septic doesn't do any of this nonsense. I highly recommend them.

Don't drink from your garden hose afterwards...after cleaning feces and urine from my septic tank, Gardner's 2 man crew shoved my garden hose 3 to 5 feet up their vacuum tube in order to clean out their 6 inch diameter hose.

We expected the truck to arrive late morning and they finally showed up at about 2 PM. No phone calls.

I would be happy to hire them again. Good price, they are local, and are good people.

Don't drink from your garden hose afterwards.

We used Gardners to clean out our septic tank and certify it when selling our home. They were very professional and courteous. I would definitely recommend them.

Professional, punctual, thorough, and and reasonably priced fee for septic tank pump service.

They repaired the line between my house and the septic tank. The crew had to cut my concrete patio to get to the main line. They located the line, which ended up being at least four feet deep. They dug it up and fixed it without complaint. The crew was professional, explained everything in detail and were very knowledgeable. They worked hard to make sure the work was done right. They did the repair and cleaned up the mess from the repair. They also hauled away the cut concrete pieces and the left-over parts from my old line. The crew even worked in the pouring rain to complete the job. I was impressed with their professionalism and their service. I will definitely keep using them in the future. I highly recommend them to others.

Great service! Greg is great! They made it out quickly after we called, professional and very knowledgeable! While every other septic company that we called delayed they got the job done! Highly recommended!

Professional licensed company, expert knowledge and quality service! My septic tank was built in 1947, no access to the lid. Gardner came out dug to my lid, opened, cleaned it along with snaking the main line all within 2 hours. Arrived at the said time, very courteous, explained every step in detail. Gave me an honest price.

Prior to finding Gardner, had two other septic companies come give bid, learned they were NOT licensed, neither one was able to diagnosis the problem with any confidence and their pricing was approximately $200 more than what I paid Gardner. Plus they attempted to sell me a new tank, which I did not need.

I highly recommend Gardner for septic work, you will NOT be disappointed.

Our first time purchasing a house and this house has a septic system.

Requested a septic inspection and they fit us in as soon as possible. Whole thing was smooth and painless from communication to filling out the paperwork via email. Smooth and easy.

Our house actually had a specialty unit and grinder system. They knew exactly what it was and explained it all to us. Greg and son and team are fantastic. Would definitely recommend

Greg was very responsive and fair when it came to the pumping and certification process for my home. Would definitely recommend.

Spoke with Greg who was able to provide same day service. Greg communicate well with me and was very informative.

Great to Work With

Greg and his team were great to work with and I will not hesitate to call on them again if we have another pumping need. Our system will eventually need to be replaced and Gardner Septic will get my first call when that time comes.

Great Experience Using Gardner Septic Service

What a great experience using Gardner Septic Service. Greg was easy to deal with and his driver (Alex) was super courteous while on site.

Greg was able to schedule the pump the same day I called (Monday) which was huge, since we were basically out of service for the entire weekend as we discovered our septic tank was full on Saturday morning.

The price was competitive but you must factor in what you get for what you pay.

That being said, I will use Gardner Septic Service when it's time to pump again.

If you need this type of service, you can't go wrong using this company.

Thanks, Greg & Alex!

A Top Notch Team

Greg and his team are a top notch team. Showed up on time. Did great timely job! I would HIGHLY Recommend these guys!

Pumped and Cleaned My Septic Up Very Nicely

I just had them come out and pump my tank today and it was a great experience! I don't have much experience with septic so I was unaware of needing it pumped every year. My septic was very full with a clogged filter! They were very informative, pumped and cleaned my septic up very nicely. And quick! They were very friendly and easy to get along with. I will be calling next year for a pump

Gave Me a Fair Quote Over the Phone

I called Gardner Septic Service and they gave me a fair quote over the phone. They scheduled a service date and two days later my septic tank was working perfectly! They installed raisers and pumped it clean!

It's a dirty job but somebody's gotta do it and Gardner Septic is my recommendation.

Thank you for a job well done guys!

So Responsive and Professional

I had the pleasure of working with Greg and his team to pump and certify a septic tank during my escrow period. Greg was extremely responsive during the entire process and he and his guys got the job done in a flash. I will definitely use them again when my septic tank is due for pumping in a couple of years. Thank you for being so responsive and professional through this whole process.

Runs His Business the Right Way

Spoke to Greg on the phone. He is a wealth of knowledge and runs his business the right way. I have dealt with other companies in the past and would only recommend Gardner septic in the future. Greg is a stand up guy!

Great, Timely Service!

Our septic started back flowing on Sunday night and Gardner Septic showed up at 7:30 Monday morning... great, timely service! We have a super steep driveway and they never have any problems getting in or out... I'm seriously impressed that they can so easily back up my driveway.

Now we're all ready for Thanksgiving with a nice empty tank. Thank you Gardner Septic!

Very Professional, Polite and Friendly

Had to have our septic pumped and certified. They were very professional, polite and friendly and did a great job. Highly recommend them!!

Worked Quickly and Efficiently

Greg Gardner is the owner and licensed contractor of this company whom I hired to pump my septic tank. He returned my message on Yelp within a few minutes. He gave me a number to contact him directly for scheduling and fit me in within two days. He texted me the morning of the appointment and called an hour before coming. He arrived at exactly the time he said he would be there. He and his assistant worked quickly and efficiently. He was polite and gave me several good suggestions to improve access to my system. He was not pushy or intent upon a hard sell. Instead, he educated me about my system. When I make the improvements, I will call him. His charges were reasonable and he did not add extra costs to his estimate.

I would not hesitate to use his company in the future!

Truly Reliable...Honest Service

I highly recommend GARDNER Septic Service. Truly reliable as far a the job well done. Honest service.

Best Experience I've Ever Had With Getting Our Septic Drains Cleaned

The best experience I've ever had with getting our septic drains cleaned. They were great in price honest clean polite and didn't try to add a bunch of other charges which I've experienced in the past. I would never call another company again

Really Appreciated the Honesty I Received

First time using Gardner Septic and I was pleased with the service I received. They called ahead to confirm as promised and showed up within the one hour time frame. I really appreciated the honesty I received regarding servicing my tank.

Thank you so much!

Prompt Service and Repair

Great service. Greg is the best. Prompt service and repair of septic tanks. His helpers are great and they take are of their customers.

Very Responsive to My Requests

Greg was very responsive to my requests for septic pump and certification. Being out of town and not able to be there at my rental, Greg was able to work around that. On the day of the job, he was on time and explained over the phone when the work was completed and provided me with the certificate on a timely basis.

Honest, Timely, and Professional

Honest, timely, and professional is how I would describe this company. They quoted me a fair price, showed up on time, and gave good advice. We'll be using this company again next time.

I can't believe some of these reviews-- marking a company down because the truck is loud? Give me a break these guys did their job.

Very Friendly and Quick

We've had our septic pumped many times in the last 30 years, and Greg has been by far the favorite! He called me a few times before arriving to let me know he was on the way. I appreciated that. Once he got here, he was very friendly and quick, and added humor to a "crappy" situation. We will use his company again.

Did a Fantastic Job

Showed up on time did a fantastic job and great to work with.

Did an Amazing Job for My Sellers

I am a Realtor and needed septic cleanout & certification nearby. I found Greg and they finished so fast and did an amazing job for my sellers. My sellers and the new buyers are so happy!! Thank you!!

On Time & Available With Very Short Notice!

Wonderful service, on time & available with very short notice! They were very helpful to the new buyer & provided valuable information for them about septic systems. Cleaned up after & were very professional. I will use & refer in the future!

Showed Up On Time. . . Did a Good Job

They showed up on time did a good job and left the work site the way they found it

Friendly, Professional and Was Able to Service Our System Within a Few Days of Calling

I have been using the same septic service for over 20 years; I will be kind and not mention why I changed companies... I recently contacted Greg Gardner's company to pump my septic system. Greg was friendly, professional AND was able to service our system within a few days of calling. I will definitely use Greg in the future and my old company will not hear from me again.

Very Professional and Very Knowledgeable

Used other Septic places and called Grain he called me back said he would beat anyone's price. Heard good reviews from mm y neighborhood. He kept me informed if he would be running late from another job which he was kept me informed very professional and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend his service and will be using Garner for all pumping in future.

Fantastic Service! Great Father and Son Team

Fantastic service! Great father and son team, both of which were very professional and got the job done despite the difficulty of the job (boulders were in the way of the septic tank access). Would highly recommend to anyone looking for septic services.

Arrived Quick and Was Done in Less 20 Minutes

I recieved a quick response from Greg when I needed my tank pumped ASAP. Greg arrived quick and was done in less 20 minutes. Very friendly and professional service. I will definitely call them back for next time as well.

Great Service and a Prompt Response

I have had Greg coming out for a couple of years now, and every time I have had great service and a prompt response. I appreciate the honest assessments and the follow up. Great choice if you need this type of service!

Professional, Courteous and Answered All My Questions

Couldn't be more pleased!

I recently started having plumbing issues and naivity told me maybe it was related to my septic tank. Google told me I was well overdue for service, so I called and messaged local company#1, waited a week and no response, called local #2, waited a week and nothing. I found Gardner's on Monday called and got a human! I talked to Greg, who answered my basic questions, explained the plumbing issues were not related, but service was due. We set an appointment for 12:00 on Wednesday. Only 2 days away- NICE!

Wednesday he called to check in, was available and offered a 10am appt, which was actually better for me.

He arrived, was professional, courteous and answered all my questions ( I ask alot!!!).

He worked quickly, explained the finished product, the price was reasonable and when he left there was no sign that he'd ever been there. Overall it was a very positive experience.

My septic system is now up to date and the service I received was exceptional. I would HIGHLY recommend Gardner's.

Lol.... now to figure out the pesky plumbing issue. :)

Gave Me Peace of Mind

I messaged a few septic companies for my rental property but Greg (owner) was the quickest at responding to my questions. He was able to get out to the home in just a few days for a septic pump.

He called me in the morning to let me know when he was on his way and again when the septic was cleaned... He also me sent pictures. I appreciated that he gave me peace of mind when he told me that the system appears to be in good shape. As a rental property, the tenants do not care what they flush down the drains so it was actually a shocker to hear that it looks to be in good shape. His pricing was fair and I plan to use his services every year.

Friendly, Efficient and Reasonable

Great service! ...Friendly, efficient and reasonable. We will use the regularly.

Able to Provide a Certificate in a Timely Manner

Very professional. Greg came out right away to fix the septic issues that were overlooked by a previous inspection. He was able to provide a certificate in a timely manner as well. Will definitely use this company again.

Arrived on Time and Didn't Mess Around

Prompt service. Great price. Arrived on time and didn't mess around. We love supporting local businesses and Greg was great.

Gave Me Some Very Useful and Helpful Tips

Greg and his helper Chris came out for a standard pump. Greg gave me some very useful and helpful tips regarding the care and maintenance for our septic.

Greg was very informative and professional. Thanks for your business and I totally recommend them!

Arrived on Time and Pumped My Septic Tank

This company was very professional. They arrived on time and pumped my septic tank. The area where my tank is located was left looking great and the grass was placed precisely in its spot. I would highly recommend this company to anyone!

Patient and Answered All My Questions

I called Gardner Septic after I was referred by a friend. He was responsive, I had called two other companies and one said he wasn't available for a week, the other never called me back. Greg was patient and answered all my questions. I felt like he was priced reasonably. They were clean and took care of protecting my home. I appreciate people who work hard so it was reassuring that he didn't move slowly...I'd highly recommend Greg.

Very Professional and Courteous

I had Gardner Septic Service pump out my septic tank today. Greg Gardner showed up with a helper and quickly got to work. They were very professional and courteous. I would have no problem contacting this company next time I need work done. Great Job. Thank you.

Did an Excellent Job

I called Greg from Gardner Septic last year. He came out with his helper Chris (A workhorse) and did an excellent Job. He took the time to find and inspect both tanks. One of the lids hadn't been opened in years as it had to be pryed open. I was supposed to do this last year so I apologize to Gardener for posting it so late. However, as they say, better late than never!

Nice and Knowledgeable

I just want to let people know this is a good company to use for your septic services :) I had a septic that had not been pumped for 12 years! I know we just had no problems ever. I had them come out and was a little scared i would have to pay extra but everything turned out fine. He was nice and knowledgeable and I was very happy. I won't wait so long next time but I know who I'll call Thank YOU

Very Pleasant and Professional

I wasn't happy with the septic service company that came with our new home (in fact, I think they damaged an irrigation pipe which caused the problem I needed to address-turns out they have a very low rating on yelp) and wanted a replacement. Greg came out the same day, and he and his employee were very pleasant and professional. The charge for the work we had done was very reasonable-less than the company that damaged our pipe. I would definitely use Gardner again, and highly recommend them.

Our Go To for Our Septic Tank Needs

This company has been our go to for our septic tank needs. He's very professional and the rates are good. We received a quote to replace our current septic tank and when we get more funding, we will be going Greg and his company. Awesome company to deal with.

Very Reliable and Got the Job Done Right

We were referred to this company by our realtor. They were honest, respectful and got the job done quick and right. I recommend them to anyone who has septic needs. Very reliable and got the job done right.

Treats His Clients With Respect

Gardner Septic is fast, well priced and professional! Highly recommend! I called Greg and left a message and called me back within the hr. I used Gardner septic to pump my tank and he explained the whole process thoroughly and we set a day and time for the pump. He showed up on time and pumped the tank quickly and professionally. He is very personable and treats his clients with respect, I highly recommend !

Stood by Their Promise to Finish the Job

Greg and Chris pumped out our septic tank which had been long overdue for service. The job was done on time and, when unexpected difficulties arose with buried PVC sprinkler lines, they immediately repaired any damages WITHOUT nickel-and-diming us with extra charges. They stood by their promise to finish the job and that's exactly what they did. Their ability and ethics are much appreciated.

There the Very Next Day at 8am as Promised

Called on a Friday night. Asked if he could come out right away. He was there the very next day at 8am as promised. It was even a Saturday at no extra charge. Pumped my tank. Did a great job. Got everything out and got it clean. Pride in his work. That's hard to find.

Cost Was Affordable

Highly recommended! Professional and on time. The cost was affordable. I had my septic pumped due to moving.

Very Good About Making Sure Everything Was Clean

I called Gardener on Monday and was able have them pump my septic the next morning. They were on time (actually a few minutes early) and called on the way to my house. There were two men and both were very nice and professional. The price and service were good. They were very good about making sure everything was clean from my tank to the driveway where the hoses ran before hey left. I would call them again when I need septic service.

Very Reasonable Price

They were my first choice for septic tank service. I read the reviews and felt they were one of the better companies to go with. Greg came out right away. He was friendly and did the job fast...Very reasonable price. I would definitely recommend him and use Gardner Septic again.

Very Reasonable Rate & Quick Appointment

Called Gardner Spectic Company in order to gather quotes to have my system pumped. They provided me with a very reasonable rate & quick appointment. The day of the appointment they were running a bit behind, so they called me to advise. Much appreciated! While at my home they were polite & immediately got down to business. I subsequently requested riser be put in which I was told was no problem. A couple days later the risers were installed for a reasonable fee. I was very pleased with their service! Definately will be using them next time!

A Well-Deserved 5 Stars

I discovered some liquid coming out of my septic tank, and assumed my tank was full and overflowing, so I needed to get someone out to pump it promptly. Unfortunately, it was already after 3:00 pm, so I thought it might be difficult to get someone today. I made a couple of other calls, the first company didn't do what I needed, another that didn't answer the phone, and one that went to voicemail. Then I called Greg with Gardner Septic, who had 5 star reviews in Yelp and on YP and explained the problem. He said it was late in the day, but he would check to see if he could get someone out today and call me back. He returned the call within 5 minutes, and said his other guys weren't available, but he would come himself. This was around 3:30. He said he could get to my house by 4:15. He arrived exactly on time. When he looked at the tank, he discovered that my lid was broken, and the tank was full and he would pump it today. Apparently a contractor drove over the lid and broke it and just covered it with a steel plate without telling me. Greg also discovered that my leech line was bad, and that if that wasn't fixed, the tank would fill up and overflow again. So he will need to come out again to replace the leech line, and will also replace the tank lid as well. I will write another review of the second job. Today's review is just for the prompt service, doing what needed to be done immediately, and diagnosing the problem. Greg gets a well-deserved 5 stars from me!

Well Organized, Got Right to Work

I'm was selling my house and needed a septic tank pump out and certification as part of the escrow process. After calling around and getting a few quotes and doing a little research, I chose Gardner Septic Service (Greg Gardner). Their prices were very competitive and they were extremely responsive to all my questions and concerns. They showed up on time, were well organized, got right to work and didn't stop until the job was complete. While digging (with a shovel) into the hard soil to locate the tank lids, they encountered several rocks and tree roots which made the job even harder. They were also very careful not to damage any sprinkler or electrical lines that were in the way. Although they did not finish the job the same day due to no fault of their own, they arrived bright and early the next morning and completed the job in what seemed to be a short amount of time. Chris, the man who did all the digging, is one of the hardest working men I've seen. He's a machine. I will be using Gardner Septic Service again for all my septic system needs.
