Got a sewer scope done by Mike as part of my house sale. Everything was seamless--from scheduling to the inspection to the final report. Clear, efficient, and stress-free. Would definitely recommend. read more

Very thorough, professional, and does great work! Would not call anyone else. Thank you so much!

Soo knowledgeable! I called Mike for a sewer scope. I was hoping to learn what I can expect for the scope of a sewer line replacement. He provided labeled photos for the contractors, of course a video - and best of all an explanation of what I need and possible options. I've called on Mike to perform sewer scopes for clients, and now my own scope. All happy customers- Would 10/10 recommend. read more

Mike came out and did our sewer scope for our new house under contract. He was thorough in his process, taking care to explain what he had found while doing the scope. He documented everything and sent a full report for our records. The cost is worth the piece of mind, knowing that my sewer will perform as needed. Thank you so much! read more

From scheduling to on-time arrival to clearly explaining his process, findings, and final report, Mike did an excellent job from start to finish. I would absolutely use his services again. All of this during a holiday week and we were crunched for time! Thanks again! read more

Very detailed explanation of his work. Mike was extremely friendly and professional. I highly recommend him to do your inspection.

Communication on behalf of scheduling staff was incredible. Mike was professional, prompt and thorough. Pricing was absolutely a value - I was blown away. I received the full report by the end of the day and it was very easy to access. Thank you, Mike! read more

Can't speak highly enough about their services. Mike has always been available for us an his knowledge is irreplicable. He's an independent inspector that only does the sewer scoping and when disputes between the buyer and seller arise about the condition of the lines, his opinion trumps all, since he has no services to sell he is perfect for 3rd party. Can't talk him up enough and dollar for dollar there is no greater value. read more

They did a great job. Professional. Showed up early. Fair rates. Did a very thorough job and explained everything well.

Had a house for sale in tacoma , and the buyer hired a sewer company to scope the side sewer. The company told them sewer was near collapse and would have to be replaced. Needless to say, the buyer backed out. I immediately hired the sewer inspector because I worked with them before and they are very professional and great at what they do. George came out and slowly and carefully scoped the sewer backward and forward, with water flowing and without. Noted small root and debris, but no major issues. I'll recommend Sewer Inspector to anyone who needs an honest, thorough, and competant report on the status of their sewer line. Tha ks, guys! read more

Mike Shafer is fantastic. His knowledge of his field is encyclopedic and his professionalism is top notch. We are completely satisfied with his service and his level of communication. Five stars! read more

Mike was very professional and explained clearly what he was doing and what he found. He did a thorough inspection of a sewer line for a house I am in the process of purchasing. Highly recommend. read more

Sewer Inspector is a great service! They respond in a timely manner, are friendly, informative, and offer a fair price. My technician was George, and he was amazing. I had a bunch of questions as I am a first-time homeowner, but he was more than happy to explain what he was doing, let me watch, and go over the final results. I hope I don't need to deal with any sewer issues in the near future, but if I do Sewer Inspector is on my list of who to call! read more

George was fantastic! My agent recommended him and I see why! He is communicative, kind, knows his stuff, and is easy to be around. He will give you realistic recommendations and explains everything so that you can understand. Highly recommend! read more

George was very good at communicating what he was doing and solutions to our issues. I appreciate his willingness to answer any questions! I will be calling George the sewer inspector for my future inspections. Thank you, George! read more

I had Mike at Sewer Inspector come out to the house today and not only found the sewer clean out when two other inspectors couldn't -- and couldn't scope without removing the toilet, which I didn't want -- and he did a gorgeous job! Flat rate and no surprises. Friendly, personable, respectful. I cannot believe how easy he made it. HIGHLY recommend!! read more

George is simply amazing and a great technician. Professional, thorough. Great manner in presenting his findings to the client. All awesome!

Mike Shafer, owner, is great! Super professional, and he explains everything so a layperson can understand. Gives you a report and video, too. I highly recommend!! read more

Mike did an exceptional job. He did a thorough side sewer video inspection, gave knowledgeable answers to my questions, and wrote a detailed follow-up report with video and notes. All for a reasonable cost, and non-biased because they don't do the sewer repair work. I highly recommend. read more

Tacoma Sewer Inspector is fantastic. The scheduling and payment applications are extraordinarily simple and easy to use. I am attempting to close on a home in less than 3 weeks. I found Sewer Inspector on Yelp on Sunday. Determined that this company provided the best service at the best rates based on reviews. And had the scope scheduled by Monday afternoon for Thursday. Other companies were going to charge me at least 50 dollars more to travel to Bremerton. This is on top of the regular 250 price. Sewer Inspector discounted me 10 off the 200 (thats a 5% savings) and didnt charge extra to travel to Bremerton. What a deal! Use this guy for whatever the issue or inspection you are performing hat requires sewer scoping. He will get done efficiently, transparently and quickly. He even got my written report done within 4 hours this included the video and 50 specific images that identified areas of concern. Couldn't have been happier with what Sewer Inspector provided!! read more

Kyle was at our new home early and was super helpful. He got us our video and write up back early and was able to answer all of our questions. He was pleasant, good as his job, and most importantly able to do convey his findings in a very understandable way. Will definitely use you guys again! read more

It was nice to work with people that show up on time, do what they say for a reasonable price. Very professional. Will recommend to friends and family. Definitely will use again. Thanks again. read more

Mike and his crew are great! Fast service, and very knowledgeable. Money well spent, when purchasing a new home!

I purchase 5-10 properties a year for my business and use Sewer Inspector on every one of them to check the condition of the sewer line. Their prices are very reasonable and Mike and his employees are very knowledgeable and professional. It's a pleasure working with them as they show up on time, get the job done, answer any questions and provide a good detailed report and video of the sewer scope. I highly recommend them if you need a sewer scope. read more

George is the man! Customer service was through the roof! Well-spoken and friendly. Took his time to explain everything and provided several options for problem-solving. Very honest and true to the job! read more

We used the Sewer Inspector for camera-inspecting our downspout drain pipes. In our home, these pipes are of the corrugated type. Most companies are not comfortable running a camera through them. When I called this company, the person on the phone was very responsive to my questions ; was able to get me a slot within a couple of days (scheduling can be done online) ; quoted price is all-inclusive (and listed on their website). The inspector came exactly on time...did a very thorough job, gave detailed videos, answered all my questions with a lot of patience. Highly recommended company! read more

Robert was awesome!! He arrived at the property on time. He was friendly and knowledgeable. He took his time to finish the inspection. Highly recommended!! read more

Robert from Sewer Inspector came out yesterday to camera my sewer line to help me locate the line in my back yard for a new sewer connection I want to make from my garage. He was right on time, friendly and very helpful with providing depths and exact locations of my sewer line. Although the line is new within the last 6 years, he still still a overall scope all the way to the main and way very thorough in checking out the city's connection in the alley for potential problems. I would highly recommend Sewer Inspector for your sewer investigation needs! read more

Mike was very professional and transparent. He broke down all the problems both minor and major and presented a realistic timeline and cost for future repairs. He also shared the entire video of our scope check and photos of problem spots with explanations. Can't recommend him enough. read more

George came out to run a sewer scope as part of a home inspection in Lake City in Dec 2022. He was able to make it out with short notice, even though there was some inclement weather that day. George was punctual, professional, thorough and his report helped my husband and I make decisions on what steps to take with the house. read more

Mike & his wife Brittney have been awesome to work with for several years (6 yrs+). They've remained professional, quick with communication, informative, punctual and organized. Being a Realtor, I can confidently say that finding all of these qualities in a company is hard to find. They've continuously provided top-notch service (to both my clients and me) which is why I always turn to them first. Their reports are better organized and more thorough than others I've worked with too, which I appreciate a lot. Just good people doing honest, high quality work. Definitely hit them up if you need a sewer scope or have Qs! read more

We were referred to Tacoma Sewer Scope by 4 Seasons Home Inspections (another great company) and couldn't be happier with the results. Mike arrived on time and promptly executed a professional, thorough inspection of the sewer system. He carefully explained everything and provided us with all the documentation we needed as well as a DVD of the scoping. He accepted credit cards as payment via Square. Don't neglect the importance of a sewer inspection when purchasing a home in Tacoma! read more

Mike was super professional and quickly helped us get a sewer scope for a place we were trying to purchase. We needed a quick turnover time and he was able to provide. Especially appreciate how he sat down with us and gave us the information we needed in easy-to-understand explanations. read more

Wesley arrived on time and ready to go! Scope was quick, professional, and identified some much needed repairs. Video of the scope, images, and report were returned immediately. Would use again! read more

It isn't everyday that you need a sewer inspection, so I have a bias opinion, since this is my first one. But Mike was amazing. He explained how the plumbing led to the sewers, what the components were made of (cement, plastic, metal, etc.), how to keep the sewage lines maintained and possibly prolong the life, how often I should get expectations (sewage lines are over 100 years old in this house), and answered any other questions. He was patient, kind, and friendly. This may all be "normal," but having a history in customer service myself, I know it is hard to find, kind, friendly people, even at work. Thank you Mike. I am definitely calling you in 5 years. read more

I completely recommend Sewer Inspector if you need a sewer inspection you should use this small local business. Mike arrived on time, was prepared, and did a very through inspection. He was above and beyond my expectations. read more

Responses were quick and Mike was helpful when doing inspections on my first home purchase and providing the information to help with making my buying decision. Highly recommend. read more

I would love to give Sewer Inspector 10 stars! Mike came out over the weekend to inspect our side-sewer after a sink-hole opened up in the middle of the street we live on. The city (Seattle) decided that the sink-hole was due to a problem in our side sewer where it entered the main line under the street and told us we were responsible unless we could prove otherwise. Mike did an extremely thorough inspection and his video showed that our side-sewer is not the source of the problem which has saved us tens of thousands of dollars! read more

George came to inspect at a home that I may be buying. Very professional and in addition to providing a verbal overview of his findings he was very willing to address my many questions both during and after his inspection. A formal written report along with still images and a video were provided afterward. Excellent experience! read more

Great experience. Mike and his colleague were very friendly and efficient. They maintained social distance and wore masks. The whole process and receipt of their report went quite smoothly. read more
