omg - john ......is the best - he cleaned my clients sewer out in no time and was very very thourough and very fair in his pricing, i am a busy real estate agent in san francisco and he is my go to man in san francisco for any sewer lateral work i ever need -my clients adored him as well!!! this guy knows his stuff. he has his two sons working for him - this is a very knowledgeable team - best sewer lateral guy ever!!! hands down!!!

5 stars for great customer service! His son was unbelievable, Sean! These two lads definitely know their way around a pipe. My downstairs flooded, and we had to use loads of towels until John & Sean showed up to save the day. Our basement was super wet for weeks, now we have no problems. Thank you to John and Sean for taking care of all of our leaks!

Absolutely terrible experience with John. I had him perform an evaluation before purchasing my house and he recommended hydro flushing which he performed as soon as I moved in. Unfortunately, the very next day I had repeat flooding in my garage which has progressively gotten worse.
He said he would come back out and take a look but cancelled on me 3 times and stopped returning calls. When he finally was ready to come back out he said he would give me a $50 discount and ""only"" charge me $600 to repeat services he didn't perform adequately the first time.
Do not recommend. Stay away.

John and his team came to our house to inspect our sewer lateral, advised us to clean it, and cleaned it quickly. They are professional, honest and very responsive! We will work with them again in the future.

John was fast, good natured and honest. His prices were fair and transparent. He earned my highest regard and recommendation.

John made an appointment with me for a sewer line inspection. I even confirmed over text message with all of the details, but he didn't show up. We had to coordinate agents and tenants and take time off work. He also didn't apologize when he realized he missed the appointment.

Amazing service!!! John came to the rescue this weekend. We had a major plumbing back up which prevented us from doing any wash. He was attentive and professional and got the job the done. Separately, he also identified roots in our pipes. He was able to cut the roots and get the water flowing again. I highly recommend John. You won't regret his service!!!

John is a very friendly guy and he not only inspected my line but also gave me very good advice on whether or not I should replace the line.

John Prior did a great job clearing my sewer line so my basement did not flood. He's the best and what a find! Marilyn H.

John Prior, you saved the day for my client last week. Just closed on a new house and boom, garage starts flooding from the drain. She called some unknown company that came out, charged her a fortune and said they snaked the drain and cleared the roots... except they didn't. An hour later it was backed up and flooding. I called John, he raced over, ran his camera through the sewer line and showed us both that all the roots were still there. Next step was running his 'warthog' root ripper right through the sewer line and boom, it was clear as day. As he was pulling out this giant wad of roots was clinging to the end for dear life. We ran all the faucets and could see and hear all the water running beautifully straight through to the main sewer line in the street.
John is the best!
