Highly recommend.

I loaded all 40 of them into my Claude AI program and asked the AI to tell me which one was the best. Which one had the highest ratings and had no bad feedback. It came back stating that 5 Star Backflow was the BEST of the 40 approved companies! I then called Josh, the owner of 5 Star Backflow, and he and his team worked around the clock to help me because I was up against a deadline. His communication with us was spectacular and thanks to him our water did not get cut off. We even had a complication with the backflow valve being broken, but he got it taken care of and he went way above and beyond to help us. I wish I could give him a 100 stars, because he is the real deal and he deserves a great review. If you need a backflow company, 5 Star Backflow is the absolute best! Thank you Josh!

I've been using 5 Star Backflow Services for my required city backflow inspections for years now…read moreand I've always been happy with the service, so it's probably time for a review. Once they had me in their system, they started contacting me in advance to schedule the test each year, which I really appreciate since the city notice doesn't usually give a lot of turnaround time. This year the city surprised me by sending the notice a month early, and I was on vacation when the notice came. This left me with just over a week before it was due. I contacted 5 Star Backflow Services and they were able to do the test just a couple days later. After the test they always send the report directly to the city within 24 hours. I have been very pleased with the service. Thank you!

Oh, but you have no idea whether that's this week, next month, 4 months from now - who knows! Not Backflows Northwest. I called them to make sure the rates were accurate, and to get an idea of when they would do the test. The guy was super nice, and he said he'd do the test on Wednesday, and they said they'd leave a note on the door when it was completed. They did it a day early, and left the note on the door just like they said. This was exactly the ideal experience in my opinion, so I strongly recommend them!

While the field backflow testing service itself was adequate, the company's back-office operations…read moreare poorly managed and unacceptably disorganized. Their reminder system is not aligned with municipal requirements, and their billing and accounts receivable processes are fundamentally flawed. I was repeatedly told by staff that a prior invoice had not been paid, despite the fact that I retained written confirmation showing the payment was submitted through their Intuit QuickBooks link and acknowledged with a "thank you for your payment" email. Despite providing this documentation, the company unilaterally canceled a scheduled service appointment the day before it was to occur, citing non-payment. When confronted with proof, the explanation shifted to a claim that they "never received the funds from the credit card company," which is not a defensible position to place on a customer after confirming receipt. These outdated business practices, inconsistent internal communication, and lack of basic financial controls introduce unnecessary risk for clients. While I had initially intended to continue using this company, the operational failures and resulting service disruption make them unreliable and difficult to do business with. There are other providers who can deliver the same service with greater professionalism, transparency, and reliability, and I will be pursuing those alternatives going forward.

After the work was completed, I was told the report would be sent to the city and I would get an invoice later for the work since there was an additional device that needed to be tested. I of course said ok and thought nothing more of it. Fast forward about a month later. I had already forgotten this issue since I was expecting an email. I get a letter from the city saying my test was incomplete and that my water will be cutoff soon. I called back and was told they had forgot to submit the report and they would do it ASAP. There were no mention of the second device cost so I thought maybe they were going to throw it in for free since there was a lateness. I of course then get an email with the invoice for the additional device and finally a few days later I think I was cc'ed on the report sent to the city. Now, if I had been out or didn't check my mail for a while I really could have my water turned off and I think that even affects my credit? That's not good.

I need to have my sewer relined. This is not a shock. Everyone on our block does, just the age of the pipes. Seatown, being a member, was my first call. The technician who came to investigate the scenario came back to my front door remarkably shortly after I left him at the entry point to investigate. He succinctly told me that the pipe was "completely blocked" with roots and they would have to hydrojet before they could get an idea if it could be repaired. Not one... not two... THREE other companies came to quote the job and scoped with zero problem, showing me the video that demonstrated without a doubt that Seatown was lying to me, straight to my face, for which I was actually paying them as a member. I reported this to the company. To this day, over a week later, I have yet to hear from any supposed manager (despite this being directly promised in what seems like the empty apology now) about this glaring error in customer service nor has the refund for my membership, which they agreed to refund, appeared yet in my account. I wonder now how much I overpaid for the projects that I used Seatown for, considering their hydrojetting was $1,400 dollars more than the quotes that I was seeing from these other companies. Recently, I heard that Seatown had been acquired by Service Champions and it appears this is another case of when a company starts to care about profits more than service after their acquisition. While I used to recommend them to my friends & neighbors, I now will tell folks to stay away from Seatown unless they like wondering if they are being told the truth and paying too much for services they could get cheaper and done just as well elsewhere.
