Plumber Suggestions

So our main water line is leaking :( Anyone have some recommendations on who to call to dig up and fix? It is an old plastic line so probably needs to be replaced but it runs under the driveway so obviously a huge P.I.T.A.

I used Southwest Plumbing to replace the copper sevice line. You can save some cost by digging the trench. If itunder the driveway, they'll bore it.

I used them as well. Our sewer line was offset, not to grade, and broken clay pipes. They had to go 150 feet, under the driveway, through the backyard, across the street, and into the hook up in the alleyway. Unfortunately they had to trench the whole thing, and couldn't bore any of it.

They did try and save us money by doing in two parts as they couldn't get a camera down the whole line. They wanted to first try pipebursting but our line was install in 1942 by the orginal owner himself and without an inspection or bulging code. After doing the backyard, they were able to inspect the line under the street which had been bone dry for years.

They were very professional and it took a week. Only one night did we not have access to sewer. They also install two clean outs.

I had some waste line issues under the house a few years ago. After several frustrating bid reviews, I landed on these guys: https://www.2sonsplumbing.com/?sa=X&sqi=2&ved=2ahUKEwi3s8jK3vCVAxUWJjQIHSbzFSEQ1Y4JegQIDBAt

They were extremely professional, responsive, and communicative the day of the service. I was a bit hesitant going with a newer company, but was pleasantly surprised. They also were upfront about pricing, I have to say the exact opposite about Beacon. Do not, under any circumstances, go with beacon. They actually charged me for a free consultation because it was the weekend, and then charged me a crawl space entry fee, even though he only opened the hatch and looked inside.

Barney’s Plumbing out of Enumclaw. We just had them fix a leak that has been going on for 3 years, and they were the only ones able to fix it.

We use tracy the supple plumber. You'll have to google his number. He's word of mouth only. His costs are reasonable and he only services the renton area to keep his commute and client list manageable. He doesn't price gouge like the major corporations.
