Alki Sewer

Phil was awesome. Answered his phone quickly without a phone tree and came out right away. Quickly diagnosed the problem, provided a quote, finished the work, quickly and cleanly. Found the job required less work and charged less than his quote. Highly recommended!

Contacted Phil at Alki Sewer and he was able to come out the same morning! He quickly diagnosed my plumbing problem and had it resolved in minimal amount of time. He is extremely knowledgeable and has a great attitude. A pleasure to work with and will definitely call him again. Thanks Phil

Beware! Phil recommended service that was not needed. We then called an independent sewer scoping service that scoped our sewer and showed us video, and other sewer repair companies, and our final conclusion was that the sewer was fine. Please call a sewer scoping service that will not profit from telling you your sewer needs to be repaired. Get an independent opinion from someone without a conflict of interest. Or at very least, call multiple sewer companies and see if their stories align...they probably won't.

This is my first Yelp review but Phil deserves this one. A story above and beyond!  I got a call from one of my tenants that there was a river of water flowing across the lawn of my building, down the street and into the street drain. After reading through many Yelp reviews and calling a number of drainage companies and getting the run around by a few I reached Phil at Alki Sewer and he agreed to come take a look.

He said it looked like a water line leak that was not strictly a drainage problem but he would try to help me anyway. No one else would or could for many weeks and I could NOT WAIT! At his advice, I started by calling a leak detector company. The leak detector came out TWICE and failed to find the correct leak location TWICE, though he did try very hard and helped find out where the leak was NOT!!!!

Phil came out, dug, explored, and finally was able to locate the approximate source of the leak, but it would require cutting through concrete to even verify!. He came out the next morning, cut a hatch in the concrete, and the leak was right where he thought it would be! He had a new,  aluminized PEX (replacing the old plastic water line that had failed) installed and functional within a few hours! He also came up with a brilliant solution to drain off thousands of gallons of water that had accumulated in the crawl space under the house because of the leak! Phil is an expert at what he does!  

Phil and Alki Sewer really saved my bacon on this one! The service he performed was above and the cost seemed very reasonable to me!

I cannot recommend Phil highly enough. His work was exceptional, he always had a positive and customer service attitude and his pricing was excellent. He helped us diagnose our problem, showing us what he saw every step of the way, then gave us options with costs for each. Then you got the work done ASAP, and cleaned up beautifully. We are forever Phil fans!!

Old house we bought needed a sewer line repair. Phil gave us a more than fair bid and did the job well and on time. And he helped out with a downspout drain solution while he was at it. He seems genuinely invested in giving you a repair or work that is cost effective. If I were to need sewer work again, I'd call Alki first.

Called, set up appointment, then he says he knows the place, ""I don't need to come over. "" The problem is he never called again, never returned any calls and left us with a bitter taste. Not reliable! Found someone more reliable and he got the job done.

Phil is an excellent and honest guy. His quote was very competitive, and he has a great attitude. His communication was very good. I can't recommend Alki Sewer enough.

I just want to say that Phil was a lifesaver! I bought my first house in 2017 and had a few sewer backups over several months. On Veterans Day I'm leaving for a 2 week vacation and my sewer backs up, big time. I don't want this issue waiting for me when i come back so I start calling plumbers. All plumbers are closed or busy. But Phil to the rescue was available and very friendly (on a national holiday). Came out himself to snake the line and find the blockage. He was able to quickly cut out a bad section of pipe that had years of build-up. He replaced it with new pipe and an external cleanout. I will definitely be using him again. Can't thank him enough!

Highly recommended! After a great Memorial Day weekend we were greeted Monday night with a bathtub half-full of sewage and a rotten egg stench all over our main floor. Yuck! I called Alki Sewer on Tuesday morning and Phil answered right away. He was making several stops but offered to stop by my house in an hour. So speedy! Phil spent almost two hours at the house, ran a camera through out main sewer line and took off the toilet to do the same. He identified several issues but said that it was a smaller job and recommended a specific local plumber to take care of the problem (a great Yelp review for the plumber too). Despite doing all this work (he even gave welcomed suggestions for ramen recipe), Phil didn't charge me a penny. Amazing. He walks the talk when it comes to building long-term relationships with the community. Phil was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and as honest as they come. We'll be sure to use Alki Sewer for a bigger project in the horizon. Great job, Phil.
