Best Sewer Line Repair in Seattle WA

Matt and Drew with Seatown were great. Professional, quick, courteous, and got the job done. We had a light/fan bathroom combo installed and another wire needed to be run for the fan. Would recommend to friends.

I used Hunt's plumbing about 8 months ago to snake the waste line that the dirty water from the clothes washer goes into.  Now its backing up again so I had them out to take a look again.  I gave 2 stars because they were polite and on time.

The cost to snake the same line as last time has increased in price about 10% from 8 months ago, and they told me to repipe that 10 foot section of pipe will cost $1400!?!  I've repiped whole houses for 5k, but this is only 10 feet, should be way cheaper.  

When I balked and asked if they could do it at time and materials (since I know its less than $50 in parts and should only take a few hours and I'm expecting $80-100 per hour) I was told their hourly rate is $400 per hour!  WTF?  Are your plumbers practicing lawyers and doctors on the side or something?  Outrageous pricing for a service plumbing co.

Edit:
I found another licensed plumbing company who successfully completed the work for $394.

It's good to know that when you're in a crisis and not in the best position to advocate for yourself that there's a company that will come along and take total advantage of the situation to charge extortionate rates. We made the mistake of calling Beacon in a situation where we needed a water line connected so we could turn our water back on. They were clearly nearby based on arrival time and were here for less than fifteen minutes, most of which was assessment, and only about three min of which was actual work. For this they charged nearly $500 dollars. This would have been a $1500 hourly rate. They hide behind the flat-rate pricing explanation, but even flat-rate pricing should be based in some kind of evaluation of time and difficulty involved, and this was just exploitative. I suppose they have to pay for all their ads to keep getting new customers sucked in, since this is not a recipe for getting repeat business. We certainly won't call again. We are more than willing to pay a fair rate for expertise and service, but we know now that this wasn't even close to fair for the job.

Update: their customer service response was to call me less than honest. They did not offer any transparency around pricing or explanation as to why they charged $500 for a job that generally is priced between $85-$150 dollars.

All of these high reviews concern me. This guy is greedy and sketchy. We just moved into our new home and called this company who the previous owners used to pump the septic and put a new pump in. They charged the previous owners 3k for that. We called him saying our septic alarm was going off and he said he will charge 3k to come back out there and fix it. When he messed it up. Make sense? I think not. We asked him direct questions and he danced around the subject with his bogus septic terminology to make us think we are dumb enough to overpay him to attempt to fix his mess when he should have come and did it for free. Anyways we called Kelly Earthworks in Olympia and they fixed it for less than 1/3 of what this dumbass wanted! Be smart and don't fall for their bs. They are a scam and they purposely fuck your system up so you can hire them again to attempt to fix it. These boys will milk you dry and make you cry.

I have had the most unprofessional experience with Dear Electric. They rescheduled or cancelled my appointment twice without giving me any notice. Also, they didn't give me any quote on the work and then cancelled my appointment. One time it was a no show and they had no idea about no show.

I had to adjust schedule of my team twice hoping that they will show up. I do not recommend their services.
