He took the time to explain everything he found in a very professional, polite and thorough manner. Highly recomended!Andrew Valaas ★★★★★ Mike did a great job locating the sewer lines (yes, there were multiple lines) in our front yard in advance of a construction project we are doing. Mike did a very thorough job and had the right equipment for each size sewer line. He took the extra time to do the job completely even though one drain was difficult to get a probe into. Knowing where the lines are and more importantly how deep they are will make it easy to avoid the lines during construction.Ryan Magnusson ★★★★★ Sewer Inspector provided professional, fast (same day in this case), and very knowledgeable service for me on two occasions. Their communication during the appointment process, throughout the service appointment, and afterwards were top notch. They also provided good recommendations for follow on work.I cannot recommend them enough.Gail Resnik ★★★★★ George gave our potential home a thorough inspection and easily answered all our questions giving is confidence to proceed. couldn’t have been betterCarlo Bouah ★★★★★ George is the man! Customer service was through the roof! Well spoken and friendly. Took his time to explain everything and provided several options for problem solving. Very honest and true to the job!Jennie Bartz ★★★★★ Mike at Sewer Inspector is simply the best. I've referred him and used him personally many times for sewer scopes. Scheduling is a breeze, communication is excellent and the turn around time on reports is so fast. I trust his work and would gladly hire them again.Sakthivel Subramanian ★★★★★ George did the inspection. He took the time to explain everything clearly and professionally. The whole process was smooth and informative. Will highly recommend them.Ashwant Kaur ★★★★★ It was a real pleasure working with Mike to inspect a property I was considering purchasing. He was easy to work with and his inspection report was top notch! I appreciated the photos and videos he included. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I will definitely give Mike a call for future sewer inspection needs or if anyone I know is looking for this service. Thank you so much, Mike! :)Robin Garcia ★★★★★ We had the pleasure of working with George on a sewer scope on a new house we are buying. He was extremely personable and explained his findings in terms we understood. He quickly turned around the sewer inspection report. I would gladly work with George again!Dylan Wolf ★★★★★ Robert was amazing. We had to do a pretty difficult sewer scope since the clean out wasn’t available on this home. He tried on two different points on the roof to access the sewer and since that wasn’t possible due to the sheer amount of turns and angles he crawled under the house and found an access point. Even this one wasn’t that easy but he managed to get there. As a bonus he also located the clean out, which was buried outside. I highly recommend them since they went above and beyond. A different company I talked to before and came out didn’t give me the same service and would charge me 5x as much to pull a toilet. Mike should be super happy with an employee like Robert! If you need a sewer scope in king county, they are the best!Emily Hiraki ★★★★★ Working with George was great. He friendly, professional, the inspection report came through super quick... all that good stuff. And he was kind enough to explain what he was seeing and educate us about how to keep our sewer system in good shape, as well as where to get the best tacos in the neighborhood.

Testimonials
I would love to give Sewer Inspector 10 stars!
Mike came out over the weekend to inspect our side-sewer after a sink-hole opened up in the middle of the street we live on. The city (Seattle) decided that the sink-hole was due to a problem in our side sewer where it entered the main line under the street and told us we were responsible unless we could prove otherwise. Mike did an extremely thorough inspection and his video showed that our side-sewer is not the source of the problem which has saved us tens of thousands of dollars!

Testimonials
Sewer Inspector is awesome. They sent appointment reminders and showed up on time completely prepared. The technician immediately got to work looking for access points, identifying areas of interest and explaining all aspects of my sewage system to me. By the time he was complete, he put my concerns about the property to rest and explained how my system worked and what I could do to improve it. I had a full analysis and written inspection within a matter of hours. They will do all my homes now!

Testimonials
I have had both Mike and Kyle inspect multiple properties for myself and clients. They are on time, knowledgeable and honest. Unlike many other companies, they do NOT conduct repair work. You get an honest assessment of what is going on, video, photos and a report. You can then take those items and find a contractor to do any necessary work. I have used another company to do sewer scope work in the past and they would upsell expensive repairs or replacements as addons. What you get here is a honest assessment of what's going on!
