Bay Area Sewer Inspections

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!

Just had John here to check out my 1928 cast iron lines.

I had flushed a small rag down a toilet by mistake and wanted to avoid any problems. Everything was working fine, but I called out Benjamin Franklin, a Diamond Certified full service plumber, to inspect the lines. They said that the rag was gone from the pipes to the sewer...but, a $7000 cast iron line partial replacement was recommended by Benjamin Franklin. The work recommended would have caused a lot of collateral damage to my exterior stucco, etc. etc. It would been $10000 or so to me if I did the job when all is said and done. From the B. Franklin guy...""You don't want them to break and put sewage in your house."" -- ""They're fragile from corrosion."" Lots of my cast iron piping is inside the exterior walls above ground in utility areas and in the sub area of the house.

I called John to check my lines to verify the need for replacement. I did not tell him about the Ben. Franklin recommendation.

He gave my lines a very positive clean bill of health. I'm relieved and appalled all at the same time. Relieved to know my pipes are in great shape all the way to the sewer (a long run, above and below ground...100-plus feet.) Grateful to John for his expertise and appalled that a so-called Diamond Certified plumber is operating this way. I am so tired of the ""rip-off"" mentality in our world today.

John is fantastic! I used to be in real estate, and this is the guy I used all the time.

He is very thorough and knows his stuff. Since he does not do the sewer repairs himself, he will give you an accurate description of what the problem is. He definitely is one to trust and will not gouge you like other sewer inspection services. If you need a true description of what your sewer issue is, call John

HANDS DOWN John was the best. We were having plumbing issues and our builder couldn't figure out why so we had to hire John to come up and help us figure out the problem. John came out to do the inspection and walked us through the entire way what he was seeing in the camera. Before he was about to leave, he was able to see that there was a blockage under the house and was more than willing to help us tell the builder that there was something wrong. Our builders were being very difficult and didn't want to get on the phone with John and were flaky when they were available, but John was so kind to make time for us even though the builders were not responsive and being very last minute.

John came over for the second time, per the builders request, and he found the problem that they've been searching for the last 10 months!!! Now, the problem can be address and has in fact been due to a builder installation which was all undercovered due to John's amazing work and years of experience.

Thank you JOHN! We really appreciate it!
