I rarely leave reviews, but I want to leave an A+++ review for Antonio and his crew at Dirt Cheap Sewer, Inc. They are competitively priced, but do not be fooled by the name. They could be called "Most Excellent Sewer, Inc" and deserve it. Antonio communicated well, quickly, and was cheerful and helpful. He worked…

Antonio was great! Friendly , Efficient and punctual. We have used first cheap before and they always beat others in price and attention to the needs of the customer. I called this morning, they beat two other estimates by a substantial amount. They came in less than an hour and took care of our problem immediately

Dirt Cheap Sewer Inc helped us replaced our leaking water main line due to aging in Bellevue to new pex-a lines. This is an amazing experience, cannot recommend more: show up on time, prompt response on questions, lowest quote of the 4 companies we asked by quite some margin, longest warranty of 25 years,…

Always good service. We needed a sewer scope to determine if there were any breaks in the line. They used a drain camera with commentary to show us what was exactly going on in the sewer line. Very helpful

Dirt Cheap came in to replace a 115 year old water line to one of our rental homes in Seattle. We have used them to replace other rental homes water lines in the past. We started using them about 20 or so years ago. They have consistently done excellent work for us, They have been clear as to the cost and time…

If there was a sixth star, Dirt Cheap would likely be 100% 6-star. You never want to find out that you have a water main leak on your side of the meter. I contacted many companies for estimates, after Angel showed up, I didn't need any further. From the first consult through the finish of the extensive(250ft) water…

Sean with Dirt Cheap was on time and thorough when providing the estimate, and Dirt Cheap was flexible in scheduling the work with our HOA board. Sean again was on time on the day of service, and completed the work in less time than quoted. At the end of service, Sean provided video evidence of the work's completion…

These guys were great! They were able to get to fixing my busted water line in Lynnwood faster than the other two places I called and were cheaper, too. Super easy to communicate and work with. I was surprised by how many guys they had out there working on this; they made very quick work of it and cleaned up well when they were finished.
