Reschedule several times tried to get me to pay for a tank that they know has problems with and charge me for it when it’s still under warranty. When I challenge them about why I should pay for something that was still under warranty the owner of the technician leave and I complete the service

Description of Work: I had a water softener installed for the whole house (hot and cold) and a reverse osmosis unit installed for the kitchen sink. River City's crew accomplished the job in one day. They had to locate the water line in the yard and separate the interior line from the exterior, they installed new exterior faucets to keep them separate from treated water. For the RO, they were able to install it under the sink and match the color of the new faucet to the existing one. | |Their bid was less than other national brands but I am much happier with their work and the quality of the products. I am happy I was able to choose a local company.

We had noticed that we were no longer getting soft water and that the water pressure was not consistent. We called and left a message during the weekend Promptly on Monday morning, Kevin called to answer our questions and to review options. He said that we could overhaul/service our old system or replace it with a newer, more efficient system. He did not try to over-sell us a new one but we decided it was the best decision. He said that another service call had been cancelled for the day so he scheduled us for 2:00 on the same day. Rico arrived several minutes early. He was very professional and courteous, stopping to answer all questions and to demonstrate how the new system worked. He was able to complete the install in about an hour and a half. We were very pleased with the entire process.
Description of Work: Rico installed a new water softener. The original had been installed 19 years ago. The original system has been serviced seven years ago but was now in need of replacement.

I've been using River City Water since 2004. They installed Reverse Osmosis and a new water softener system. They are a great company to work with. They always get salt delivered when I need it. Any time (which I can count on one hand how many times in that last 10 years) that there is an issue they take care of it immediately.

In February, we discovered a leak under our sink and determined it was coming from the original reverse osmosis system installed in 05/2004. I contacted River City to remove their old system and received a quote from them for replacement which would have to be done at a later date as we had some damage caused by the water. They were prompt to come out to remove the system and prompt to come back out to install the new system. We have used River City products since we built our home in 2004 and have had excellent service and believe the product is as good as some of the other BIG name brands in our city and certainly at a more reasonable cost. We have never had any problems with the personnel or service.

a nightmare since river city installed the water softener and reverse osmosis.
Description of Work: River City was highly recommended - BUT I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THEM and I will explain why. They were called to install a water softener in my house 16 Jan 2012. As they drove out of our driveway, my daughter noted water approximately 6 inches deep covering our brand new hardwoood floors and soaking several oriental rugs. I immediately called River City - about 30 min later, an employee arrived, stayed about 10 minutes - did not really help sop up the mess, but blamed the plumber for not removing the water softener plug. Note this water softener is the first one installed in my brand new house - the plumber did NOT remove the plug, as the water softener was just installed by River City- the plumber has not been in the house for several months. I was recovering from foot surgery - told to stay off my foot. I spent the next 24 hours with my family trying to get the water sopped up and salvage the expensive hand made oriental rugs. No help was offered from River City which was clearly a problem they created - they forgot to remove the plug for the water softener. Furthermore, I noted water leaking from the line River City installed under my kitchen sink. I called for this to be repaired - a man was out - spent a few minutes here - tightened one section - never tested anything else for leaks, never checked the line, and departed. I called River City back again mid afternoon - and was told no one could even call me until at least the next morning. Meanwhile, I am stuck with sopping up all this water with towels - walking on my foot that is supposed to be elevated, with no support from River City. The line they installed under the sink for drinking water and the line to the fridge both leak. I can not understand why the serviceman that was here 30 January did not test any lines or test all connectors before his departure. River City has left me with soaked hardwood floors and oriental rugs because they failed to remove the plug for the water softener, which was located in the laundry room. My cherry wood kitchen cupbaords are getting destroyed from sitting in water because River City failed to check lines and connections they installed. There is a huge crack in the bottom of the cherry cupbaord under the sink - the house is less than 12 months aged. I am considering asking them to remove the water softener they installed and the reverse osmosis - as it has done nothing but create flooding in my house since they installed it. I had to pay a contractor to come in and replace, repaint and recaulk the shoe molding, as it was destroyed from all the water. I am hoping the hardwood floor is not destroyed - I have been running my dehumidifier to try to get this dried up. The oriental rugs are about dry, but ruined - those are not to get wet. Not to mention the brand new cherry kitchen cupbaords are being ruined from all this water. They were custom made for me and are now ruined.

Kevin and his crew were outstanding. Arrived on time, briefed me on the exact work to be done and an estimate when the job would be complete. The crew was careful with the lawn when trenching (avoiding the in ground sprinkler system) and was meticulous about the water supply and drain piping routing. The piping through the wall into the laundry room looked like it had always been there. Kevin's attention to detail was evident throughout the job. After the install, I was given hands-on training regarding the water softener controller. I would highly recommend River City Water over having a plumber do this job since plumbers buy their water softerners from River City anyway. Why pay a middle man?
Description of Work: Complete install of a water softener system for my son's house. Job included running water supply lines from the meter into the garage, through the softener, installation of drain piping from the softener into the house and connecting to the laundry drain, and installation of one outside hose bib.

Description of Work: They replaced my old water softener. They described the one I had as a "throw away" (which another business confirmed). So, I had them replace it with a new one. I chose them, because their price seemed reasonable and they did not install proprietary water softeners. They arrived early to do the install and completed the job quickly and explained how the new system worked. I would recommend them.

Description of Work: I called this company for an estimate for purchase and installation of a water softener. The lady I talked with was very informative and knew a lot about water softeners. I told her my price range but they had nothing I could use. I researched the cost of water softeners online and was fairly confident of the actual cost and the lady pretty much agreed with me. She quoted me a price of around $1500.00 for complete job and stressed their warranty and customer service. I think this company has a good reputation and would not hesitate to use them. The lady would not budge on the price. I called several companies and purchased one, which I believe was the exact one this company sells, for a total of exactly $1000.00. I think that if they we a little more flexible on the price I would have purchased here.

River City arrived on time and got right to work. He was friendly and informative. Once he had fixed the water softener, he assisted me with my questions and assisted me with replacing my previously purchased filters in my reverse osmosis system. He took the time to walk me through how to release the pressure from the system to remove the filters and tested my water for me without any additional charge.
Description of Work: Our water softner had released resin throughout the plumbing in the house because of a problem with the unit. River City came out and replaced the insides of the unit. In addition, they assisted me with replacing the filters in my reverse osmosis system.

Digging Crew arrived 30 minutes early to run lines under the drive way and side walk. They also installed to hard water faucets in front and back yard. All the work was done to our satisfaction. Cleanup was very good and we received the Angie's List discount.
Description of Work: I called for an estimate for a water softener and installation and Kevin came out a couple of days later and arrived on time. He explained in detail the best way to have the installation done since it had to be plumed and it would take about 5 hrs. I called 2 other companies, one cheaper and one very expensive. Called River City to set up the install a couple of days later.

The tech came on time and quickly completed the replacement. After looking at the broken parts and discussing the matter with the tech, I opted to replace the entire module (at a cost of $154) instead of just fixing the broken plastic wheel (a $13 part). It was clear to me that the plastic parts in the old control unit were brittle and it wouldn't be long before something else broke and I would be right back with another $89 service call. Even though it felt like I was being "up-sold" I still appreciated it. Better safe than sorry.
Description of Work: Replaced the entire timing control module on our 11 year old water softener. Checked the system to ensure proper operation.

They provided excellent service and are great guys to deal with. I've only had one service call to them in all the years since the original installation and that was as professional a service as the original call in 1986. They maintain the service for me annually and they are a great company to rely on. I highly recommend them.

Excellent. My daughter was home to let them in. They accepted me calling in my credit card number to them over the phone. Much better than the official company rep for the water softener who obviously just made up an answer and left. Now maybe I won't have to change shower heads and faucets every time I turn around.
Description of Work: The water softener I bought at the Home Show several years ago never seemed to work and the company that makes it sent out a totally clueless person to "fix" it in the past. (there really IS a problem when you have not needed to add salt for a 2 year period but the company representative did not think so). I called Aramendia who evaluated the water softener plumbing section. that was fine and they did not charge me but suggested I call River City Water Treatment Company to evaluate the tank. The water softener was not one that they usually work on, but the tech had no problem figuring out what the difficulty was and correcting it. He said we should start feeling the soapy sensation in about 3 days and he was right on the money. Thanks! The salt had formed some type of a bridge so the water could not flow through to be treated.

I discoverd the slow leak first thing in the morning. I called River City at 8:30 Am and by 10:00 Am they had a guy at my house. Terrific responsiveness. The repairman quickly found a pin-hole leak in the copper flex water supply line. He shut off the water and replaced both copper flex pipes with stainless steel flex piping. The whole job took 25 minutes. I appreciate the maintenance strategy of replacing both flex pipes at the same time so as to avoid a repeat maintenance call. The service call itself was $89, parts were $25...seems a tad pricey for the level of effort.
