Sound Sewer Inspection provides professional, unbiased video inspections of residential sewer lines for Western Washington residents. We provide unbiased pipe condition reports that allow our clients to evaluate options for addressing any areas of concern quickly. Using our state of the art RIDGID video inspection equipment, we provide a clear view into your lateral/side sewer so you can easily determine the condition of your sewer line.
A vital aspect of any home, the sewer line is usually only noticed when something is desperately wrong. A backed up sewer line is a problem that no one wants and can not only damage your home and possessions, but also be a sanitary safety hazard. Before you have a forgettable experience, have the confidence in knowing the integrity of your line-the confidence that comes with a video sewer scope inspection from Sound Sewer Inspection.

The video inspection ("sewer scoping") of the residential sewer line is an important, yet often overlooked step in evaluating the overall condition of your current home or potential future residence. Underground and unnoticed, the condition of the lateral (or side-sewer) connecting your residence to the main sewer line is a responsibility unknown to most home owners.
Repairing a degraded sewer line can cost anywhere from $200 for root removal to tens of thousands of dollars for a complete line replacement. Identifying potential issues before purchasing or renovating an older home can make all the difference in the world. Although the sewer line is out of sight, it should not be out of mind.
Providing a thorough top to bottom property inspection is the goal of every home inspection service. Despite this, most home inspectors do not offer services related to the inspection of the sewer and drain lines. We provide home inspectors with the ability to fold in a sewer inspection with their services branded under their name.
Having a yearly sewer inspection can help reduce your insurance premiums. If you have multiple bathrooms or are located in an older building, a video sewer inspection can spot potential problems before they become serious issues. We have seen severe damage to product and customer relations due to flooding from backed up drains that were not checked for blockage issues until it was after the fact.

Todd did a great job on the initial inspection as part of my real estate purchase. He then jumped up to help at a moment's notice as part of my negotiations later in the transaction. Really appreciate his commitment and his expertise!

I cannot say enough things about Todd and Sound Sewer Inspection. I am under contract for a house and had another company out for a sewer scope inspection. Without getting into the details, they couldn't perform the inspection via the bathrooms but ended up charging me regardless. I was feeling a little jaded about the whole sewer scope inspection process but hoped there was a more customer-friendly sewer scope business out there.
A couple days after my initial attempt at a sewer scope, contractors at the house located the sewer cleanout under the patio (it'd been completely buried so we had no

We had an all-around excellent experience with Todd.
He communicated well, making clear what time he would come to our house. He arrived right on time. He was kind and professional. During the sewer scope, I asked a variety of questions about what we were seeing in the video, and he took the time to pause and answer the questions and discuss them thoroughly (including the city connection, the water line, the general condition of the pipes, the turns and the other branches of the line).
It was clear that he was very knowledgeable about the different sizes, locations, directions and types of sewer

Todd met all of my expectations and hopes for why I set the appointment with Sound Sewer Inspection. My sewer's situation was precarious at best and having Todd's knowledge and helpfulness completely eased my mind and temporarily solved my current predicament. SSI recommended a long term solution that was affordable and worth trying in order to avoid digging/replacement plumbing project. Todd was professional, courteous and quick to respond to communication and follow-up. I would highly recommend him to any homeowner or prospective home buyer.

AMAZING. Todd is very responsive, nice and fantastic at his job. He answered my call on a Saturday afternoon, and was able to schedule an appointment on Sunday morning. We had previously used a different company who had a very difficult time with the sewer scope and took quite awhile. Todd was able to complete the entire scope - including removing and putting the toilet back - within 30 minutes.
Do yourself a favor and don't bother with anyone else - Todd is the best around!

As a real estate broker, I have had the opportunity to work with several different sewer scope service providers over the years, and Todd is, hands down, the best I have worked with.
Todd is professional, friendly and great at his craft! He is easy to schedule, takes the time to make sure the client understands the process and helps interpret the results of the sewer scope, and has fun while doing it.
He is always on time, always provides an excellent customer experience and always delivers this sewer scope within the timeline he provides. I can not say enough great things about Todd, and I look

Todd is now my preferred contact for all sewer line inspections. He is super professional, efficient, and careful of clients property. He gives good, unbiased reports that I know my clients and I can trust. He has gone out of his way to fit us into his schedule when we have a tight timeline and is always reliable about getting the report back to me right away. He is flexible about his reporting options which can be a big advantage with real estate transactions. And he is just a great guy to work with-- I would absolutely recommend him!

Todd and Sound Sewer Inspection were a critical part of the home purchase decision for me and my family. A sewer scope is a wise minimal upfront expense that can save you thousands and thousands of dollars down the road. This part of the process should not be overlooked. Todd is professional, knowledgeable, and reliable - not qualities you always find in this industry. I highly recommend Sound Sewer Inspection to anyone considering buying or selling a home.

Excellent experience with Sound Sewer. Todd was very prompt at answering/returning phone calls, early to first appointment, and extraordinarily knowledgeable. He was able to diagnose multiple problems in the sewer line, and also offered to come back for a re-inspect after the line was cleared.
I will definitely use Sound Sewer again, and highly recommend them to anyone going into a contract on a home purchase, or a seller looking to scope prior to listing etc.
