Gold Country Septic was referred to me in my time of need. As my 5th call in the area, they were not only the cheapest but the best, and most humble. I spoke with Ron and he got me squared away for next day service. He even called me later in the evening to let me know there would be a delay in arrival time. What service! The next day, I spoke with Sean, the son of the gentleman who helped me out! Easy going, up front, and clear. I am very grateful to use a local, family owned company and I assure you, their service is best! read more

Gold country septic is a lifesaver! Very professional and efficient. Only company that could come diagnose our issue the same day. They also came back and made the necessary repairs along with pumping our tank. Very knowledgeable and definitely quality work. I'd say gold country septic is a great value for the service requested. Highly recommend and will be our first call when we need any plumbing work. Thank you gold country septic read more

We couldn't be happier with RS Clark Gold Country Septic! They came through for us in a pinch while we were in the process of selling our home, after another company said they couldn't come out for two weeks. This family-owned business (three generations strong!) provided exceptional service from start to finish. Keven was incredibly friendly, informative, and communicative--he explained everything clearly and made sure we understood each step. They even fixed our issue the very next day and came back again to retest after the drying time. A small but thoughtful touch--Keven even "decorated" around our burn pile with rocks while waiting for the test, which made us smile. I overheard a call with his grandfather, who wanted to be sure we were well taken care of, which says so much about their values and commitment. I can't recommend them highly enough--honest, reliable, and genuinely good people! read more

If you're having septic tank issues, R.S. Clark Gold Country septic should be your first call! I have used them whenever I've had sep issues and they are always responsive and will remedy your problems as soon as they can. My latest experience started on a Saturday evening when the toilets in the house backed up. I called R.S. Clark, and although their trucks were full waiting to dump on Monday, they made a special trip to Sacramento to empty a truck on Sunday morning so that they could come and pump my tank. By 1 p.m. Sunday, the tank was pumped and everything was back to normal. I can't emphasize enough how great they are. They are also the only local firm (GrassValley/Nevada City) who offer 24/7 emergency service. So if you need septic service give Gold Country Septic a call first. read more

We have an RV that got a clog going into the black tank and was completely backed up. I could not get anyone in this area to come out. I called Gold country septic for service and they had Sean out within a couple hours. He fixed our issue, and was an absolute pleasure to boot. Also, the gentleman I spoke to on the phone I don't recall his name, but said he was Sean's father was also incredibly kind. Lastly, I felt their price was very reasonable. I would recommend their service to anyone. Couldn't be happier right now! read more

Once again we needed a septic company to come out and empty our tank at the main residence this time. This company never fails to impress me as to their knowledge and expertise in the septic business. The Patriarch Ron, has raised a great son and likewise a grandson that have involved themselves in this business and have made it their priority. It's nice is know you have someone who will honestly tell you any issues and explain all situations clearly, in the country environment. Many of us do not come from the 'country' and a septic is very unfamiliar to us. I am glad to have found this company and I can rely on them to clean, repair, and give honest advice on a system that i am completely unfamiliar with. The rates are comparable to other established companies in the same field but the advice is what a novice to septics like myself finds of utmost importance. I recommend these people and I appreciate their hard work. read more

I've known Ron Clark for 45 years. Words like honesty , integrity and professional come to mind... His son ,Shawn carries the same respect and integrity I've always appreciated when doing business with others. What I thought was a major problem turned out to be very minor.... Shawn sent his son Keven from his busy schedule to check it out and it was determined to be minor and fixed in the spot... Years ago Ron and his son Shawn gave me some important tips on caring for our septic system... Those tips have paid off over the years, Ed C .. read more

These guys are great! When you call a septic company for something other than a scheduled clean out, it's pretty much an emergency. They were friendly did a great job. We were very pleased. read more

Ron and Shen were a great help. They talked to us about what was happening and what our options were. Thank guys I really appreciate your patience and help! read more

RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!! We had RS Clark Septic inspect our septic tank. The inspection cost was in line with other septic companies. However, the repair cost was not. The intake pipe was cracked and needed a repair. We have a security camera on the property, and I watched the whole time they were on our property. They (two men) were at the house 1 hour and 54 minutes, which includes driving in and out plus walking around. The actual work was done primarily by one person, which consisted of repairing approximately a foot of plastic pipe. (The materials cost would be approximately $20 or less). The workers appeared to be diligent and focused on the task. My issue is they charged $1,080. I spoke to the owner about the excessive bill, and he said, "That's what it costs" and, if I did not pay, he would withhold the inspection report, which, of course, we needed in order to sell the property. On our behalf, our real estate agent called the owner as well and ended up hanging up on him. He said, in 30 years of being in real estate, he has never seen such egregious billing practices, that, in his experience, the charge should have been in the $300 range. That's criminal. Maybe I'll contact the Attorney General. read more

Had RS Clark out on 12/11/18 for a pump of septic and drain clean out. costs $845. On 3/19/19 ( 3 months later) we called numerous times to TRY to get them back out, as our septic was overflowing and backed up again. We called numerous times and were promised calls and none were made to us. We were forced to contact a 2nd local company as we waited 5 days and heard nothing. Now we are paying another $880 + to do the exact thing again plus some as this company did not find the problem and fix it the first go round. We finally contacted the dispatch and they told us they had been "busy" all week and could not find a moment to return our calls in 5 days.This is not rocket science and these guys do not have any loyalty to their paying customers. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER NO SERVICE I would give them zero stars if it was possible - homeowners beware read more

Sewer line repairs are never fun but these guys make it as painless as possible. They're responsive, efficient, and know what they're doing. They're good guys too. I highly recommend them. read more

If you call around they are not the lowest and they charge $75 an hour for travel time. Total for me would have been $720.00. Found someone that would do 1000 gal septic tank pump out for $395.00 and they scheduled me for the next day. read more

I had a septic tank system improperly installed ten years ago. Only RS Clark was willing to come out to my cabin, a 45 minute drive from Grass Valley. They were able to accurately and thoroughly assess a very complex situation and come up with a plan that worked. This was a major job and their price was reasonable. In addition they are a family business and the nicest people, with integrity. This was ten months ago and the system works perfectly. read more

I highly recommend RS Clark Septic! Quick service, fair prices. 5 Stars!

We had a septic tank emergency this past Saturday. Toilets not flushing, etc. Called all the local companys Georgetown area, left messages on their answering machines explaining our emergency situation. By noon, no call back from anyone so called a Grass Valley company. Gold Country Septic. The owner, Ron, answered the phone himself. They were out within a few hours. A little more money as they charged for travel from Grass Valley, but the nicest people to do business with. Could not have been happier. Still have had no return phone calls from any of the more local companies, Mels, Royal and Sweet (Placerville). Would have been nice to call me Monday to make sure we no longer needed any help. LikeCommentShare Thank you Ron for your quick response and professional service. Will use again. Claudette Horvath Greenwood, CA read more

Thank you for coming out so fast and pumping my tank and checking my lines great job

We had our septic tank repaired by RS Clark/Gold Country Septic/Lazy Drains today. After 42 years we developed a blockage resulting in a sewage back up into our shower and bath tub. Not a pretty sight! While we didn't think to call RS Clark to remove the initial blockage (big mistake $), we called upon them to do the repair. They removed a four foot section of sewer drain pipe leading into the septic tank and replaced the T into the tank. They also installed a two way cleanout with a pop up overflow closer to the house. The work was professionally completed by Kevin and Trevor. They hand dug two trenches to access the drain pipe and do the repair and new installation. We could not be happier with their work, plus they were very positive while conducting themselves in a very workman like manner. We have been using RS Clark to pump our septic tank the last few times (about 7 years now). Throughout the years, Shawn has identified needed maintenance items and suggested other optional improvements (risers and discharge filter) that would make things easier in the future. We find RS Clark's service to be not only professionally performed, but also affordable. One last shout out to Ron for his diligence in attending to us as a customer by scheduling service in a timely fashion particularly when there is an urgency to the case that generated this review. We could not be happier with RS Clark and highly recommend this family owned company to anyone needing any type of septic tank service. read more
