Best Sewer Leak Detection in Seattle WA

So happy to have used Fox Plumbing. Called in the morning got an appointment for the same day. Received an email when my technician, Jonathan, was on his way. He promptly diagnosed the issue and explained what it would take to repair. Completed the repair as estimated, love that. He even answered some of my random questions regarding my plumbing and checked the pressure before and after the leak was fixed. I'll happily call Fox Plumbing for my next plumbing project.

Great service, from the initial phone call to on-time, professional and friendly service. Good company!

This plumbing service exceeded my expectations. They were responsive, reliable, and delivered outstanding results in resolving my plumbing issues.

Davie was our technician that came out to our office and repaired our bathroom sink. We are a pediatric dental office, I called on Friday and they offered to come out as soon as Saturday but I chose Monday since we were closed Saturday. He was extremely efficient and got the job done. Very nice technician with a good personality. We will be using them in the future!

I work for them

I had a pretty simple sink backup and I will admit that I called someone else first (they had a similar name and I was fooled), but that was a mistake! After waiting and waiting, I backtracked, canceled the imposter and called the real Roto-Rooter. I was met with great service from start to finish (operator, status updates, and actual service). If you get a chance to work with Naser from Roto-Rooter as your plumber, you're in luck! Great guy, clear explanations, clear tips for future prevention, etc. I'll be calling Roto-Rooter again (and asking for Naser!), should the need arise.

We had a garbage disposal go out and Arash was the quickest plumber in the area to get it done, he did great work and we were on our way in under a few hours, with a new disposal.

Patrick diagnosed the problem and helped us resolve it. He was professional, patient, and pleasant!

From start to finish TJ was amazing and very patient with all of our questions and concerns. I am so glad we went with this company for relining our sewer lines. Thank you again!

Nick and his team completed a whole house re-pipe, including replacing our water main line, relocating & installing a new water heater, and re-positioning a gas pipe for our dryer - in May of 2018. They finished the job in a day and a half. He was a pleasure to work with and had great communication - all at a very competitive price. Fast forward to this past weekend and the valve on the water main line had cracked and was gushing water on the side of our house. I called Nick late in the afternoon on Saturday - and while he was unable to make it out (on his day off - he was out of town for the day) he arrived at 8am on Sunday to replace the valve. I have recommended Nick and his team to several friends and neighbors! Excellent service!

Watch out for these guys, as they will try to rip you off as much as possible! Very dishonest people.
They inspected our 5-yr old tankless water heater and identified that a part had to be replaced. After we gave them the go ahead on replacing the part (heat exchanger) worth < $300, without our consent, they replaced the whole unit (which they provided themselves with a 60% mark-up for $2,000). And then they threatened consequences if we didn't pay the price immediately.
When we asked in a respectful manner why the mark-up was unreasonable and why we hadn't been notified of switch from part replacement to unit, Evan (owner) started using curse words and started threatening.
After we paid them, we asked for our old unit (one day after their service), they said they had tossed it out and it couldn't be retrieved.

Having said all of that, they responded promptly with a same day service and everything was back online and working after 3 hours, so if you don't mind them stealing from you, this business can be a good choice.
We recommend getting a 2nd opinion if they tell you the unit has to go.

Great experience and reasonable price. Very happy!

Mine is an usual review, perhaps, because no one from Clearwater Leak Detection ever actually came to my home. I called and spoke to the owner of the company, and told him that there was definitely a leak somewhere in my lawn/garden irrigation system that was costing me a good deal of money on my Seattle City water bill. He described the method that the company would use to detect my leak, but suggested that I determine first whether the leak existed in the main valve box. He kindly walked me through the whole process . . . and, lo and behold, the leak was exactly where he predicted it would be. I told him, You're my hero! Your excellent advice came at your own expense. But I would like to recommend your company just because you were so kind as to spend the considerable time on the phone to help me find the leak myself! So, bravo to Clearwater Leak Detection's owner for his generosity, kindness, and total honesty! If I actually have a future need for the detection of hidden leaks, you can bet that this company will be getting my business! And I will remind the owner of why I am coming to him!! Thanks again, CLD!

I called Zoltan to replace my water main. I briefly described the project on the phone, and he quoted me a price, which I found reasonable. He said he could take a look at the project that day, and do the work in a few days. Great!

He called me back a few minutes later, and said if I wanted to do the work that day, he could do it, for an extra hundred dollars. That seemed a little sketchy, and I declined, I was fine waiting a few days.

When Zoltan showed up, he said I misrepresented the job to him on the phone. I didn't think I had, but ok, I assume that's why a tradesman looks at a project before starting or giving a formal estimate, right? But Zoltan seemed especially annoyed by this.

He told me I didn't tell him the main went under the sidewalk. Well no I did not, but that's a common scenario, and I had offered to send him pictures, which he said wasn't necessary. He said he had to do more things, add protection under the sidewalk or something. I asked, what things? He said he would show me when he did the work. I said, I'm curious, what is it, adding conduit or something? And he would not give me a straight answer.

He said, 'you said this was easy job. I don't recall ever saying that. I'm a contractor and I know when people tell me it's easy, it usuallty isn't, so I'm not likely to tell another professional that. If it's not easy, fine, explain how it is difficult. But he didn't do that.

Anyway, I didn't like the way he was becoming more annoyed and accusatory. I didn't like that he wouldn't be specific about the details under the sidewalk. I didn't like that he was throwing out different numbers as we talked, ranging from $800 to $4800.

So when he said, let's take a look inside the house, I said, you know what, let's save each other some time, say goodbye and move on with your day. This seemed to make him more angry. He said, you said it was easy, you do it yourself!. He wanted to argue more, I just wanted to move on.

Maybe he's a great plumber. Maybe he was having a bad day. Maybe we miscommunicated. Maybe, despite my efforts to be friendly and open minded, I rubbed him the wrong way. In any case, he didn't act professionally, and I felt compelled to relate my experience here.

I had him install a dishwasher and 2 toilets. The dishwasher shorted out underneath, and left evidence of it burning. The pro's who came after him said I should report him for the poor job he did. I'm thankful it didn't start a fire. One of the toilets is fine. The other is wobbly, and I need to yet another person in to fix that. In light of the service I got, I can't recommend him.

Michael and Pierce just came out to do a regular sump pump maintenance, and I can't recommend them enough! Very professional, showed me exactly what they were doing and what was good/bad in the system, finished the job quickly, and incredibly reasonable rates. We'll definitely be using them again.

Without a second thought I would recommend and call Akers Outdoor Plumbing again. I came home from work and discovered a water mainline leak in my front yard/porch area. I have some good experience with broken things around the house but water endless rushing from my home into my front yard - not one of them.

I received a few bits of advice on 1) needing to locate where the water main line leak is 2) marking that location and 3) then servicing the lines where the leaks or breaks are. This is where I found the Akers can do all of this rather than hiring two companies - one to detect where the leak is at and then another to service and repair the pipe.

I was lucky and they were able to accommodate coming out the same day I called to take a look and give me an assessment of how bad the water leak was, a general estimate and assessment and help in whether to call the Seattle Public Utilities to come out and shut off the water. In doing so, Andy and Traci coordinated with me all day, great communication and made me feel confident with choosing someone I didn't know yet to help me.

Here is a recap of why I preferred and appreciated their service. Honest assessment from Day 1. Helped me turn off my water by myself at street level and showed the tools to use so I could use water when I needed until the permanent fix could be worked out. 2. Fair estimate and pricing - never once did I receive pricing that felt gouging or high 3. Great communication - Being flexible is key in this line of business from the customer end. Sometimes their jobs take longer than expected so my job had to be pushed by a day or so. Always talked to me about delays or changes right away and gave me a good understanding of when it was going to be rescheduled. 4. Going above and beyond to take care of me with helping with certifications, inspections from the city, rebates for excess water usages etc. I didn't ask for this help ( and didn't even know I should). They saved me hours of calls on the phone with inspectors and the ulilties company and thousands of dollars with fast-forwarding the rebate process. 5. The repair job was done right. Quality materials. Timing. No short-cuts. They took care of my home like it was their's or one of their family members. Trust isn't easily earned, especially with a trade that I may not even know how to assess quality or inaccuracies right...Andy and his crew (and amazing talented wife) are amazing and I'm glad I worked with them.

O'Neill Plumbing professional installers John K and Mike R arrived on time and performed their job with experience and great customer service. I have used O'Neil Plumbing over the years and have always been very pleased with their service!

Sherif installed a new water heater and recirculation pump for my home in North Capitol Hill. My home is fairly old and my water heater was over twenty years old. It was my first time replacing a water heater and when I gave Sherif a call he patiently walked me through the possible outcomes and pricing for each option. Sherif gave me all the information without me committing to any kind of service. Also, Sherif had me send photos of my water heater to him so that he could assess the situation. I found this much more effective than many of the other plumbing companies that insist on a visit and $100+ charge before providing a quote. Sherif was very communicative on the day of my service. One of his earlier jobs had run longer but he kept me in the loop the entire time, letting me know when his ETA was going to be. When Sherif and his partner arrived they did the job with great care, making sure not to scuff up any part of the house while removing and installing the old and new water heaters. Overall it was a great experience. I highly recommend Watertite Plumbing.
