Olsons Excavating &amp; Sewer Services

I really hate leaving negative reviews but I feel like the owner of this company has given me no…read moreother option because he refuses to work with me to make things right. I had this company install a mound septic system for me a few years ago. He had done some excavating work for us a few years before that and he did pretty decent work and he seemed like a nice guy so we thought we'd hire him to do our septic too. Unfortunately the wiring for the above ground alarm that lets you know when you need to clean the filter was not installed correctly from the beginning. A few weeks after the septic was installed the alarm went off so we checked the filter, it was still clean and in good condition, and we followed all of the instructions in the owners manual but we still couldn't get the alarm to turn off so we had to turn off the breaker for it in the electrical box in the house. My husband and I had called and asked the owner two different times to come out and fix it and a relative of ours that knows him personally also asked him to come out and fix it as well and each time he blew us off and never showed up to do the work as promised. He even admitted to me over the phone that he knew it wasn't done right because he had similar problems with a few other customers because the electrician he subbed the work out to didn't wire them correctly. The bottom line is that the owner of this company does not stand behind his work or his word. I've tried to be fair and I've been more than patient but my patience have run out. Unfortunately I'm just going to hire another company to come out and fix it because it's pretty clear GN has no intentions of fixing the work that wasn't done properly from the start.

Our friendly and knowledgeable staff is here to address any questions or concerns you may have. We offer a free consultation for every job we do. For installation jobs, the consultation consists of surveying the intended work site and assessing its appropriateness. If we deem that it is an appropriate site for a new septic system pump installation, we will then set about formulating an installation plan. A well-crafted plan helps us ensure that we do the right work the first time, every time, and it helps to keep costs low, meaning we can provide you with excellent service at a price that won't break your budget. If it is not an appropriate site, we will work with you to locate a suitable installation site, or to find an alternative to a septic pump. For non-install jobs, such as repair services, the free consultation involves surveying the damaged area and figuring out the easiest and cheapest way to fix the damage. All of our consultations come with an obligation-free price estimate, and you never pay more than the price we quote. We also take care of acquiring any necessary work permits, so you can rest assured that the work we do is in accordance with local regulatory codes.

They had leftover sand and rather than take it with them, they just spread it out in a four inch layer that now has to be removed in order to grow any grass there again. They tried to cut corners wherever possible. Tried to use the twenty year old pump rather than a new one. These people are not the easiest or the most pleasant to deal with.

Thursday, November 14, 2024 we faced a suddenly, broken toilet, with water leaking across the floor and into the basement. At 8am, I called in 'a favor' since they had installed our dishwasher, and somehow they were able to get John Tomas out within 2 hours and he was able to quickly diagnose the problem. What I didn't realize was that they weren't doing me a favor coming out in less than 2 hours, they recognized a leaking toilet to be a priority, and acted quickly. Not knowing the actual issue until arriving, some parts were needed so while he was here John realized our bathroom faucet cartridge was shot, so he offered to fix both the faucet and the toilet after getting the necessary parts. I'm not very handy so having PipeRight Plumbing (now on speed-dial) was extremely helpful. Marc, Gene, and John are extremely professional and respectful of our time and property. We will use them again, and highly recommend their services to others. John - SE Como Mpls
