Best Septic System Repair in Seattle WA

From the first phone call to the actual work being completed, the entire process was great. Clear, friendly communication, stellar job, and all done in a timely manner. Highly recommend Price Busters Plumbing!

We had an unfortunate water heater breakdown right as a big snow storm rolled in, and our landlord's initial installer was unreliable and ultimately never showed.

Joe's plumbing totally came to the rescue! They were prompt and communicative, and the plumber who came by, Josh, was so nice and efficient, and most importantly, got us our hot water back! He even won over our grumpy dog. What more could you want.

Thank you!!

The tech that came out was very skillful and knowledgeable.  He was able to locate our problem in our sewer line, it was dug up and fixed in the same day.  Everything was cleaned up and working perfectly.  Great company with a very professional staff from start to finish.  I definitely recommend them!

Cody was very professional regarding the issues I had, but I went with another plumbing company due to other factors.
I would contact them again for a quote.

These guys are honest, fair, prompt, and professional! I will definitely be using them again in the future.

I'm giving this place 3 stars because the technician was wonderful and did a great job, was pleasant and professional.  I did discover that the pricing was 3x-4X more than other local plumbing companies for a call out, which I feel is very unreasonable.  A woman called to do a survey after, and was quick to say well, plumbers are expensive.  I don't mind paying for quality work, but somewhere in line with the rest of the neighborhood would be nicer.  I will likely give my business to a smaller company next time.  

Called several times looking for Tom at his request and no call back.

Professional, prompt, competitively priced. I will be using them for my future needs as well.

I purchased a 1915 Craftsman home in 2019, gutted and rebuilt the entire home.  The only thing I did not replace was the main sewer line and the roof (yet).  After 2.5 years, the clay line finally finally filled with roots enough to back up in between my house and the neighbor (we share the waste line).  

Line backed up 2 weeks in a row.  Called Beacon on a reference; they were polite, showed up when expected, camera inspected my line, let me watch while diagnosing the problem, offered me a solution and gave me a fair price to fix it.  

My line was designed installed in 1915 and not up to current standards - Beacon offered a solution to fix this and did it TODAY before leaving my property.

I would use them again and suggest their services to anyone inquiring with need.

If you know exactly what you need done and just need labor then drain doctors does quality work.  If you are having flooding issues and need the problem identified then this is long but worth the read for you.

This work was done last October and I wrote the review then.  I waited to post it to see if I would change my mind about anything.

During the initial sales pitch, the tech told us that the hardpack at 12 would divert water and
was probably draining toward the house because that's the way the hill sloped.  We asked him if the water could penetrate the hardpack and I believe he said hard as rock, no water is going through that.  At another point he said we do a lot of research into these things and that although a French drain wasn't 100% certain, it should do the trick unless there is an underground stream. He quoted a 12-18 drain because of the hardpack.  When they arrived, he dug a four foot test hole and found water coming out the bottom so they dug a four foot deep French drain (no extra charge) to capture all that water.  The drain goes to about 12 from the surface then they dump the clay hardpack that they said previously was impermeable on top of it.  When I argued about it, the tech said the drain wasn't mean to catch surface water, it was meant to catch ground water.  When I demanded a fix before paying, he said topsoil wasn't permeable so replacing the clay hardpack with topsoil wouldn't help and offered to do a drain on top of the drain to catch surface water.  (Again, no extra charge).  

In addition to the two destroyed bushes, they piled the clay from the trench onto the rest of our yard without any tarp.  When I told them to scrape it off, he said that he did it to level the yard so water would hit the clay and the surface water would flow into the drain - the drain that on another day he said wasn't to collect surface water.

So lets review: Tech says on that hardpack is hard as rock and when water hits it, the water will flow through the topsoil to the 12 deep French drain.  Then later, tech says that the drain is to catch deep water which means water underneath the supposedly impermeable hard pack, and that water won't flow through the topsoil anyway.  Those are the facts, my opinion is that they say whatever suits them at the moment.

Lured by a 10% if you book now!! offer and a hurry to get the job done, we hired them to do a French drain.  Since then our basement has flooded again and we've had four other companies out to look at it.  One said the odds of a French drain having worked was 50/50, the other two flatly said they wouldn't have done a French drain.  Three of four suggested an interior footer drain.  Drain Doctors had also suggested an interior footing drain and quoted $12k for it.  We went with their $6k French drain instead.  Here's the kicker, the three quotes we got later for an interior footer drain range from $5.5 to $8.5k (because they use gravity feed instead of the sump pump that drain doctors said to do.)  Had we waited, we could have had a 100% effective interior solution for the same price as the probably work French drain.
After the work was done, the basement flooded again.  The tech wanted to relevel our yard (no extra charge) so the surface water flowed to a corner and then cut a trench through our planting berm for it to drain out of.  When I told him that would look ugly his reply was we're the drain doctors, not the landscape doctors.  When they were selling the job, the French drain was the solution.  No mention was made of leveling the yard.  

(It was pretty obvious they weren't landscape people since they tore out two bushes and threw them away without a word.  They were the kind that die back in the winter so they looked like just a bunch of dead sticks, but they were obviously enough bushes that a question would have been in order - I was home at the time)

Then the boss came out to look at the site (at the other companies it was always the boss or a 20 year veteran that did the quoting.)  His suggestion was to tear all the drywall off the basement to see where the water was coming in, then build an exterior footer drain will wall board down to the point water was coming in (up to eight feet deep).  We didn't have them quote that, but another firm ballparked an 8 foot dig at $30k.  This is the same boss who, when told another firm wanted to do a drain board partway down the wall said that was a ridiculous solution.  Apparently not such a ridiculous solution when it's his firm doing it.

Drain doctors did do quality work, and they came back and tried to fix the problem at no extra charge (although we were withholding payment).  But when it comes to diagnosing the problem shame on us for not waiting for more experienced firms to quote the job.

I do not normally write a post-service comments, but this one is exception.  My house in Tahuya, Wa. needed service to remove what clogged up pipes on our toilet,  a septic system.  The service was badly needed  as we would be hosting  guests the following weekend.  All technicians of FloHawks  were busy but  promised me a technician would come to my  place that day( Wednesday) no matter how late.  At about 9:30 PM, a uniformed technician came and introduced himself as  Brandon.  He was very polite and apologetic for coming very late as he had to finish his last  job order in Gig Harbor ( about 40 miles away from my place ).  He wasted no time and took picture  of the pipe, roto rooted, and tried to remove that very challenging barriers in the pipe. He removed the toilet inside the house to get closer to root of the problem.  In the end, the problem was solved (there were plant roots and a hanger inside, don't ask me ).  Brandon explained to me what he was doing, showed the picture of the problem, polite,  professional, and very clean.  He knew what he was doing, gave me other information about the septic system, and talked about how his company can help me.

Just an FYI, Harts Services does charge a $79 service fee! If you choose to go with them, then the fee is waived, otherwise you loose $79!

Very impressed with response, service, and price!! Never used them before but gave them a call based on their yelp rating... I have never posted a yelp review but I couldn't let this one go without giving 2 thumbs up!!! Thanks guys

I have had the worst plumbing service with Rainier View.

Rainier View installed a steaming unit in my attic for my shower. During a winter cold spell last year the steaming unit starting leaking water in the attic and down the walls of my home. I turned off the water running to the unit and called Rainier View. The tech came out and stated that the unit was damaged and would have to be replaced. The tech also stated that when the unit was installed it should have been insulated against the cold temperature. The tech called back to the company and informed the owner of the first installer's mistake. The owner of Rainier View refused to take responsibility. Even though Rainier View installed the unit and their own tech came out and indicated that the unit was installed incorrectly the owner would not replace the unit nor fix the problem. And on top of that, the owner wanted me to pay 150 bucks for the tech coming out to inform me that his company installed the unit incorrectly. What a joke!!!! Stay away from this company.
