I had a pipe leak and American NW had Ryan come out that day. He did a great job with the fix so next time I had other plumbing issues they were the first people I called and once again came out same day. I'm very happy with their responsiveness and quality of their work.

Wallace was great! I had an downspout that would not drain. Wallace took the time to utilize a camera and sensor to trace the underground corrugated pipe. We discovered a previous landscaper had covered up the exit of the drain with dirt and bark, which prevented drainage. I would not have been able to fix the problem without Wallace and American NW plumbing pin-pointing the drainage pipe and where I needed to start digging! Wallace was friendly, competent, and thorough. Thank you Wallace!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why did my sewer back up?

    Sewer backups usually come down to a handful of causes: tree roots growing into the line, grease and buildup narrowing the pipe over time, a break or collapse in an older line, or too much flushed down the drain at once. A camera inspection is the fastest way to know which one you're dealing with.

  • How long is this going to take?

    That depends on the cause. A one-time clog from something flushed down the drain is unlikely to repeat. Root intrusion or a structural issue in the line is more likely to come back unless it's addressed at the source, which is exactly what the camera inspection helps you plan for.

  • Do I need a new water heater, or can this one be fixed?

    The camera shows us the inside of your line in real time: root intrusion, cracks or breaks, bellies (low spots where waste collects), collapsed sections, and blockages. You'll see the same footage we do, so you know exactly what's going on before deciding on next steps.

  • What does it really cost if you ignore a sewer backup?

    A lot more than a quick mainline snake and camera inspection. Left alone, a sewer backup can turn into a serious cleanup and repair bill, especially once contaminated flooring, drywall, or belongings get involved. And standard homeowners insurance usually doesn't cover sewer backup damage unless you've added a specific endorsement

  • What are the signs something's wrong with my sewer line?

    A few things to watch for: frequent clogs in toilets, sinks, or floor drains, slow-moving water that won't clear out properly, and gurgling noises coming from your pipes. If more than one drain is acting up at the same time, that usually points to the mainline rather than a single fixture. Sewage odors or water pooling near a floor drain are also worth getting checked out.
