I can't believe the happiest five-star review I'm giving on Yelp so far is for a drainage company in Seattle. Out of all the yummy foods I've had, places I've seen, and things I've experienced, it comes down to a broken sewer in a house that's older than the excuses most sewer companies give homeowners - The pipe's broken all the way to the main line, it's gonna cost $60k, If you don't replace this sewer, there's gonna be a sinkhole in the middle of your street big enough to eat up your nine-year old, etc., etc.
I found Bryce and his crew on Yelp and took a chance. After calling about 3 other companies - one of whom was recommended by a friend, I chose Bryce as I had no other options: Nobody else returned my calls.
The receptionist on the phone was thorough and professional, Bryce came out a few days later to do a free estimate, going so far as to snake his camera down the toilet in question. He then gave me the different options and possibilities and prices. Being that it was an old house with very compromised drainage, Bryce never made any promises in advance till he could access the entire situation.
Without any deposit beforehand, he and his crew came and dug out the very tough dirt on the side of my place within two days revealing the drain pipe. Instead of suggesting I replace the entire pipe, which is what most companies would do, he suggested patching the compromised areas, as were only one or two. We'd also found that roots had gotten to the pipe at one point. But instead of digging up that area (which was underneath a sidewalk on a busy commercial street), he came on a Sunday and tried to whack away at the roots for hours. He finally succeeded, saving me yet another tens of thousands of dollars.
Bryce truly stands out among a crowd of questionable drainage people I've encountered in the past. He's truly passionate about his work, always thinks from the homeowner's point of view (ie. Trying to help homeowners save money WITHOUT cutting corners, instead of suggesting the most expensive options), and is straightforward and honest about what can or can't be done. When you call him, he'll return your calls promptly, and his follow up is great.
That being said, I really hope never to encounter Bryce again, as this means I'll be having some drainage issue of some sort. But I won't stop at recommending him to people who need a good drainage company.

In 2016 my basement flooded after back to back winter rain storms. Paul and Allied Waterproofing gave me a competitive bid to put in a perimeter drainage system which allowed water to go around the basement, not through it. The work was quick and efficient and the system worked flawlessly for years. This past winter we again got back to back storms which caused some water to seep into one corner where a water stopping membrane had been cut too short by carpet installers. Paul and his team once again came out swiftly and addressed the issue without fuss. I would highly recommend Allied for any similar projects.
