Professional, courteous, thorough, tidy, reasonable pricing and a quick turn around. We could not be happier with their service!

A few months ago we needed a hydro jetting service done to our sewer line, so we called LA Sewer Inspectors and they sent Greg out to the property. He arrived on time and immediately got to work. As he started to use the water to clean out the line, he noticed water backing up in the sewer line. It was draining slowly, so he carefully tried again and the same thing happened. Greg showed us the video and explained what was happening and said he wasn't able to continue the hydrojet service. He noticed that when he ran the camera down there it seemed like it would hit a blockage or wall but upon closer inspection with the camera it was clear. There was nothing there, but Greg already knew what it was. He suspected it was a sewer liner that was somehow blocking our access. Greg told us to contact city sanitation and let them know our sewer line appeared to have a liner blocking it. We made the call and the city came out within a couple hours. They checked their main line and said they had not worked on it and had not put in any liners recently. Then they asked if any neighbors had sewer work done recently. We then remembered our neighbor had a liner installed to her sewer line previously. The city told us to contact the neighbor's plumbing company to tell them to unblock our sewer line access. The story gets longer from there as her shady plumbing company tried to say it was our problem (that they blocked our sewer line access). So the city intervened on our behalf and not-so-politely informed them that it was their responsibility to remedy the situation or else. They corrected it at their own $1,000 expense and Greg was able to come back out a week later and perform the hydro jetting service. He noted the restored access to our sewer line and that everything was as it should be. It goes without saying that we trust LASI to see what we can't and to inform us when things aren't always so simple or straightforward. I can't recommend them enough when you want to check your sewer line or do a hydrojet. Just call the office and talk to Melissa. She's extremely knowledgeable and made everything easy to schedule. We sold our house and have already scheduled LASI for the next one. read more

Nicholas was referred to us by our real estate agent for initial inspections, and we couldn't be happier. Not only was he incredibly pleasant, but he seems to really care about all issues involved with his work, including its impact on the surround area and the long term affects on the environment. I can actually say that I learned quite a bit in addition to feeling that I was getting excellent and clear advice for steps forward. I heartily recommend this business! read more

Greg was just out for an inspection. As usual, knowledgeable, prompt, reliable. We even got to watch the video! Thanks again!

My Realtor recommended LA Sewer Inspectors for a home I was considering purchasing as part of the inspections process. My Realtor had used them in the past, and home buyers were very happy with their services. My experience confirmed they are informative, explaining each step of the evaluation of the home sewer line. The inspector (Nicholas) was friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable. I was emailed a detailed report with photos within a day of the evaluation. This also included a video of the inspection. During the inspection there was no attempt to upsell anything and what was conferred to me was the condition of the sewer line and recommendations based on the evaluation. If you're looking for a reputable, professional sewer inspection service for a home or business you are considering buying, look no further. They are excellent and professional. read more

Great inspection service! Explanation of the process, state of the pipes, and general walkthrough was very thorough. Appreciate being walked through the inspection as it was performed, and having any questions answered. Excellent experience all around, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others. read more

Nicholas delivered amazing service, a positive attitude, and a thorough yet easy to understand explanation of our sewer inspection results. His report also included quality (narrated) videos of the job being done so as to alleviate any concerns by seeing for yourself his work. I couldn't have been happier with his service and am happy to now have a reliable, fair, and kind "sewer guy" to use and recommend to others. read more

I'm super impressed by LA Sewer Inspectors. Melissa was amazing and helpful beyond my expectations. I needed some special help with a second opinion on a sewer line and she went out of her way to make sure my needs were accommodated. She saved me a lot of time and stress. Thank you! read more

The whole experience with getting my sewer line inspected went very smoothly. The office was very good at communicating to set things up quickly. The inspector (I cannot remember his name) showed up on time, was friendly, and explained every step of the process while he worked. He allowed me to watch the video monitor as he did the work and described what he was doing or looking for on the video. He concluded by evaluating the condition of the sewer and his recommendations for re-inspection or future work. Everything went very well and would recommend them to anyone. read more

Nicholas did the inspection for the home we are buying in Pasadena. He was professional, thorough, and went the extra mile to explain everything and help us avoid potential future problems. Super impressed with the level of service! read more

Company was hired through our real estate agent and they were amazing. Greg fully explained everything to us and let us view along with him in certain areas to know what we had going on in our sewer. Amazing value for the cost read more

Needed inspection for large estate in escrow. Melissa in the office made coordinating schedules easy and provided a comprehensive breakdown of services offered. Nicholas was thorough and professional. Quick report turnaround. Definitely recommend. read more

What's not to love? They are always on time, they do a thorough job and the prices seem fair. I've used them when buying a property and also just for the occasional drain checkup and landscape drain investigation. I've used them no less than five times and have met at least four of their techs... it's always the same quality. If I remember correctly, they don't do any other work beyond camera inspection and hydrojetting... so you are never worried (as you might be with other plumbing companies) that they are trying to steer you toward repairs of any kind. But, really, once you've met them you realize that they are not the types to steer you toward unnecessary work regardless. The whole process is pretty cool. They do their camera work while accompanying it with an on-site, non-stop, real-time oratory of what the camera is seeing. Later they send you the link to go look at the video with the accompanying verbal description of what you are looking at. I mean, it's hard to get TOO excited about drain inspection but they make it as cool as it's gonna get. read more

After having a great experience with these guys providing the inspection of my new home's sewer line, I actually emailed them for advice about a year later when I had a problem spring up. Melissa in their office was so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable over email that writing a positive review is literally the least that I can do. I had been getting 100 different answers from the plumbers and inspectors that my Home Warrenty was providing, but Melissa gave me a thorough explanation of what was probably happening. Thank you so much! read more

Second time I've used these guys. They're great, responsive, knowledgeable and reliable.

So happy LA Sewer Inspectors were referred to us. We needed an actual 'video' taken of our line, not just see it 'live'. I called on a Sunday and spoke to Melissa, what a wonderful lady. She is patient, kind and thorough. Our appointment went as scheduled and we did recieve a unbiased assessment of our issue. Please don't hesitate to call them, they're a great company. read more

LA Sewer Inspectors are great! They did the inspection on my home before I bought it three years ago. I probably should have gotten a hydro-jet a couple years ago, but after a few backups from my sewer line, I looked up their initial report that was super detailed and gave them a call. They still had my report on file and showed up fully knowledgable and ready to go. Greg worked through the rain and cleaned everything out and recorded the before and after video with a trip down the entire line. I live on a hill and my sewer line has to go quite a ways to get to the city sewer, they went the whole way and gave me great tips to create a plan for future maintenance. Absolute professionals that rock at what they do. Highest rec. read more

Dealing with the office staff, Melissa, was easy and I was treated as an old pal. The previous inspection (prior to buying the house 3 1/2 years ago) was almost the same as this one: step by step communication to keep me apprised of what was happening and what was found. Only this time, NIcholas, the owner, came himself and I was treated with the same courtesy and kindness. His high spirit personality coupled with a great sense of humor made me feel, indeed, like an old friend. While the inspection was underway, questions were answered with directness, no pretty words: this is good, this may need some work in 5 years, this will last 5 to 10 years and be an expense to plan for, call a plumber. The report was verbally given, then the next day sent out as a PDF with all tech areas explained in layman's terms. And it even included a list of plumbers experienced and qualified to do the work that had been detailed. I can recommend LA Sewer Inspectors without hesitation. Fred read more

This was the most through inspection I've ever had in any h. Completely professional and explained to me in language I understood. Questions answered The written report was equally important and well done. Highly recommended. read more

I'm a real estate agent so I've seen plenty of sewer line inspection reports. No one, and I mean no one has come close to the professionalism, expertise, and clear, detailed explanation that Nicholas Bylsma and his team at LA Sewer Inspectors does. The clearly, carefully narrated videos offer commentary on the line being inspected and often put it in the context of a typical sewer line and/or the history and characteristics of the materials used (clay, cast iron, plastic, etc). And the written report couldn't be more detailed and explanatory, yet incredibly easy to follow and understand. On top of it all, LASI are one of the very few specialist inspectors I've come across who do NOT do repair or installation work themselves. So their opinion is not colored by any hidden agenda for a contracting work bid. And this is all they do (inspections and hydro-jet cleaning). In my most recent experience with LASI, they really outdid themselves. I was representing a seller and the buyer brought in another company to inspect the sewer line. That company was unable to get out past the sidewalk to the city sewer connection so the report we had in hand was incomplete yet still recommended a 30 foot section of pipe be replaced, including installation of a new cleanout/access point that would facilitate a view of the entire line. Because the seller is responsible for providing inspection access to the buyer, my seller client was looking at spending $2000-$4000 or more. Nicholas came, was able to easily inspect the entire line all the way to the city connection, and determined that pipe replacement wasn't an urgent/immediate need. Saved my client thousands of dollars and, as usual, was incredibly clear, calm, and professional. I would strongly recommend LA Sewer Inspectors to any homeowner, home buyer, or in this case home seller who is looking for top-notch service, expertise, and honesty in a sewer line inspection. Truly a slam-dunk go-to. read more

I hired LA Sewer Inspectors to inspect the sewer line of the property I was purchasing. Nicholas performed the inspection and did a fabulous job narrating the inspection via video. He pointed out what the problem were and the repair recommendations. Their report was easy to understand and thorough. I would highly recommend this company read more

LA Sewer Inspectors - Picture of report, we'll done and easy to understand - Hydro-jetting Near Me

This is the place I will call for any hydrojetting or sewer inspection needs. I called them last week and they were able to send someone out this week to do the inspection. Greg came out a couple of years ago to do a camera inspection and I was happy to see that he was the one who came out again today. He's a super nice guy and a pleasure to talk to. We could probably talk for hours. I like that with the camera inspection they send a YouTube video out and a narration of everything that I am looking at. Their prices have gone up since the last time I used them and it is higher than their competitors, at least what I see advertised in the mailers. Still, I would trust and prefer these guys over anyone else. read more

I've been using LA Sewer Inspectors since 2015 and have always had nothing but a positive and pleasant experience. Super professional, incredibly knowledgable, extremely personable and sincerely unbiased and honest. I just recently used them for a hydro jetting for the first time and they did an amazing job, making sure to take extra precautions to not damage an old concrete sewer line. I cannot recommend them enough! I've met every inspector there and they are all great. I also love supporting a local family business. Thank you thank you thank you! read more

This is a business that I want to give 10 stars to! I am a realtor and I need to order sewer inspections for my clients. I have never dealt with more professional, kind, and honest folks. They ONLY do inspections, so they won't try to seek you repairs that you may or may not need. I used them for my own home and found out there was a tree just planted right above the sewer line! We were able to move the tree so it wouldn't cause problems down the road. I can't recommend them enough. They are reasonable and worth it if you are having ANY questions about your sewer. read more

Nicholas was AMAZING! He provided very detailed information and took his time explaining a very foreign concept to me! He was pleasant to speak with and was patient with my questions. Thank you for a great experience! read more

I can't say enough good things about Nicholas from LA Sewer Inspectors, this company is the best. Nicholas showed up with a smile on his face toting his very cool equipment to check out our sewer line to make sure there weren't any issues. We watched the video monitor as he began to send the camera into the pipe and the entire time he described every step as the camera made its way from our house into the depths of the sewer. As he explained what he was doing it felt like I was listening to a very informative narration from one of my favorite podcasts. He has the greatest personality for doing the service he provides. We were so thankful for his help and now we know exactly what is going on with our sewer line. I highly recommend LA Sewer Inspectors. Thank you again Nicholas it was a pleasure to have met you. read more

I needed a second opinion on an estimate I received from another inspector and I needed it FAST... Nicholas saved the day! I knew that he would be able to provide me with a second look, but what I didn't expect was how detailed and thoughtful he was with his reply to my request. I felt confident that I could move forward knowing that he had weighed in and explained the situation so clearly. I will be sure to call him directly for all of my Inspections in the future. read more

This is my second time using LA Sewer Inspectors. Both times has been incredibly insightful. It was easy to schedule, arrived promptly, was very professional and extremely knowledgable. On this occasion Nicholas helped map out the surface drains on the property and provided excellent recommendations on how to stop them from backing up. He was even able to clear them a little while inspecting. Follow up with full video and commentary is great. I was able to use the video from last time to properly locate the inspection cap and ensure that the overgrown bushes were trimmed back to allow access. Highly recommend and will certainly use again for any future drain inspection needs. read more

They are responsive, reliable, thorough, and honest! Nicholas completed my cleaning quickly and ended up charging me LESS than anticipated because there were fewer roots than we thought there would be. Highly recommended! read more

As a realtor, I have had quite a few sewer inspectors, and Nick and his team are the only one I use now. They go above and beyond on every job site, despite the difficulty. Sometimes they can easily go from the clean out, sometimes they have to go from the roof and rarely they need to go through the toilet. The reason I switched to them for a long time now is the last sewer guy gave up after simply not being able to find the clean out and can't go through the roof. I then had to hire Nick and his team, and due their many years of experience, persistence and just top client service, they were able to find a way to inspect the sewer line, which is one of the most important first round inspections on any house in CA. Melissa, who is the scheduler, is so pleasant and OMG so helpful. I texted her one time on a Sun and she responded, helped me schedule Nick on the next date and time I need. I can't use anyone else! Highly recommend. read more

We had a great experience with LA Sewer Inspectors. Nicolas gave us a ton of great insight and advice during our sewer inspection and he was just a genuinely nice person. Honestly, I wasn't expecting to have such a pleasant experience during a sewer inspection. read more

This is the second time we have used LA Sewer Inspectors and Nicholas is amazing. The first time we met him was for our home inspection. We didn't even think to have our line maintained until they emailed us 5 years later as per the normal maintenance routine! Nicholas invited me to watch the video inspection and he was thorough, educational and gave helpful guidance that will undoubtedly save us thousands of dollars in the years to come. Such a wonderful experience! Thank you! read more

LA Sewer Inspectors were recommended by my son in law when I was going to purchase a home. It's best to make sure there are no issues as sewer problems can cost a lot to repair. I was very happy with their thorough inspection and report. Last week I had an issue with my current house. The toilets weren't flushing properly. I called my home warranty to come and the plumber they sent said it was due to roots so they couldn't fix it. I made a call to LA Sewer and spoke to a very informative and helpful person by the name of Melissa. We scheduled an appointment for a hydro jet and video for the next day. Greg, our technician arrived promptly. He was extremely knowledgeable and kind. He fixed our problem the very same day. I highly recommend LA Sewer to anyone needing an inspection or having issues with their drains. read more

Nice office staff and on-time arrival of a friendly and experienced professional. We're lucky we didn't need any repairs, but we'd definitely recommend this company and we'll use them again when it's time for another inspection. read more

I just moved into a new home, but was having major sewer issues that even my quality reliable plumber could not figure out, so I called Nicholas as LA Sewer. He came out exactly at the time of his appointment, was very nice and professional, was able to find the problem quickly, and gave me a full written and video report of his inspection. This was definitely worth the money, because his findings saved me thousands of dollars in plumbing repairs that wouldn't have solved my actual problem. Highly recommended!! read more

If you're looking for a sewer inspector or hydro-jetter look no further. These folks were professional, patient, and experienced. They took the time to explain how sewage systems work and what to look out for in the future. They're also honest about their work and only recommend what's truly necessary. read more

As a realtor, I have been working with Nick for years and he is always honest, professional and clients like his easy to understand explanations. It is a double edge sword for me to talk about how great he at sewer inspections and follow up recommendations because once everyone knows, it will be more difficult for to get appointments within 48 hours but he deserves so much praise and credit, it is the right thing to do. read more

LA sewer inspectors are quick, reliable, and trust worthy. They are get for sewer line inspections for purchases or checking out issues that need to be repaired. They are not plumbers so they will be trustworthy and not try to sell you repairs that are unnecessary. read more

Nicholas from LA Sewer Inspectors was providing a service for our neighbor across the street and we decided if the time would allow we would like to get a similar service done for our home on that same day. And I am glad we did, Nicholas provided us with a detailed step by step explanation of what will be done and how to proceed further. At the end we ended up getting a hydro-jetting service done, which was a few years overdue. LA Sewer Inspectors are a family run business, professional, experienced and very pleasant to interact with. I would highly recommend Nicolas and LA Sewer Inspectors!!! read more

LA Sewer Inspectors are great! I am a real estate agent in the South Bay and have been using them for years. They are always on time, very honest, and send their reports in a timely fashion. They do not perform the work themselves which gives clients an added layer of trust. I highly recommend them! read more
