I cannot recommend Eric and Halvorsen Sewer Service highly enough. They have integrity, great pricing, and great service. He saved me from bring ripped-off by a large sewer company to the tune of thousands of dollars. Our sewer backed up on a Sunday and as a first-time homeowner experiencing something like that for the first time, I panicked and called a large sewer/plumbing company. They came out right away and cleared the sewer line. They brought out a guy with a camera who scoped our sewer line and told me it was broken and required an emergency replacement, costing $17,000+ to replace the entire sewer line. I called around for a 2nd opinion and found Halvorsen Sewer Service. Eric responded to me on a Sunday, expressing concern with the assessment by the large company and offering to come take a look at it for me the next day. Eric used his camera and quickly told me that the sewer line WASN'T BROKEN. The perceived break was a buildup of concrete slurry on the bottom of the pipe, causing some water to pool. Eric cleared the concrete slurry from the pipe and told me that he did not think any repairs were necessary. He even provided me with a copy of the video of my sewer line which the large company did not do. I sent the video to a 3rd company and they confirmed Eric's opinion that no repairs to the sewer line were necessary. Halvorson Sewer Service did an incredible job cleaning the sewer line and getting all of the things the large company missed, at a MUCH more competitive price. He educated me thoroughly and gave me great advice on how to maintain the sewer line going forward. If you have sewer line cleaning or inspection needs, I cannot recommend Eric and Halvorsen Sewer highly enough.

Eric came in and discussed the problem then set to work. He cleaned out the backed up sewage then worked on cleaning out the line with his power snake. When he couldn't get the snake down further he brought in his camera to do a visual inspection and explained as he went. He got it all flowing though. He also went above and beyond initially by helping locate and access the clean out trap. He was on time, professional, pleasant, answered questions and cleaned up after himself. He charged me the standard sewer cleaning fee even though it took him a bit longer to confirm that the issue was resolved. I was very impressed and happy with the experience.

Eric arrived a few minutes early. A good way to start the process. He does everything right from my point of view. He communicates well--no nonsense, no games. He respected my property and is very experienced. What more could you ask for?

I sent a note late in the afternoon of June 18th. Eric called at about 9:30 that night to set up an appointment for the following morning. Talk about hustle! Ours wasn't even an emergency, but we felt like he made this a priority. Just over 12 hours later, and the drain was flowing freely again (which was a huge relief to my ten-year-old daughter who was blaming her headful of long, thick hair for the clog). I'm never again messing with hardware store chemicals or blindly attempting to do an amateur snake job on my drains. I'm calling these guys instead.
Description of Work: Our home (built in 1969 and Frankensteined multiple times by DIY'ers of varying talent before we bought it in 2010) had a clogged bathroom drain. After attempting to Drain-O and snake it myself, it was time to call in a pro.

Eric went above and beyond what I have gotten from other providers. He adjusted his schedule to help me the day I called and then waited since I was unexpectedly held up. He clearly knows what his is doing. Used a proper 6" blade to go out to the street. Checked with a camera down the pipe to make sure everything was OK. Ran a laundry tub full of water to make sure everything was draining properly. Even cleaned up the muck that had backed up into the drain area and the basement shower. Much more than I expected and at a very reasonable price.

Amazing! Another plumber failed to resolve the back up over two days and four-plus hours. They finally said that I likely had a cracked pipe and gave me an estimate of over $7,000 to dig it up and resolve. I was devastated--not just as a single home-owner but I had recently been laid off. I found Halverson on Angie's List and called on New Year's Day--and Eric answered the phone! He asked detailed questions and came out the next morning. HE FIXED IT! He patiently worked on it and explained what he thought and stayed with it for three hours, didn't give up and was even nice to my dog who was excited and barking. Seriously. Then, knowing my situation, did not charge me for all the extras he could have. I highly recommend Eric and am a customer for life.

I called this afternoon to talk to Eric Vonzel about an issue with our bathtub. I left a message with the issue and our home address. He called me back within about 30 min, said that he coincidentally was in the area and could come over immediately. He explained the process throughout and added clearing our slow kitchen sink, despite the fact that the stop was impromptu and had already run longer than he initially thought. Throughout the process he was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. Pricing was explained and reasonable. I will keep his card, use him again and recommend him to others.

He did a great job; showed me the issues that appeared in the scope and then cleaned out the line. He was friendly, professional, and careful with his heavy equipment to not damage the house. He was priced about 25% higher than some other A Angie's list providers.

Eric did a great job and was extremely helpful. He also came back a second time at no charge. We have something more severe wrong with the toilet but he did a professional job clearing it and easily explained the process to me. Would use again and definitely recommend him to anyone.
