I hired Emerald City Sewer to design and install drainage for three downspouts on my home, and they did an outstanding job. Wayne took the time to analyze the whole system and recommended a rock pit and a bubbler to make sure water was moved safely away from the house. He listened closely when I mentioned that my wife plans to replace the lawn with a garden, and the crew dug the lines deeper so everything would sit well below planting depth. The team was knowledgeable, skilled, courteous, and easy to work with throughout the project. The workmanship is excellent, and the communication was clear from start to finish. I'm very happy with the results and highly recommend Wayne and his crew. read more

We had a good experience dealing with them. They are knowledgeable and helpful and found communication easy.

Wayne and his team, especially Shawn are great. I had to replace my whole sewer pipe that was really old. First, they came out same day to clear the clog and backup. Then did a great job replacing the pipe including pouring new concrete on my driveway. Everything looks great. They did a great job explaining everything to me and my options in a clear and non condescending way. Wayne kept in great communication regarding the timetable for the work. He also gave me a discount when they had to delay a few days due to employee illness. The price overall was fair considering how much work was done. I would hire them again for sure. read more

Emerald City quickly came to my rescue when my water main started pouring water down my sidewalk. I checked out several other companies but Emerald City was the only one that showed up that afternoon for a bid, bid for free, and were willing to work over the weekend.

They were easy to work with, friendly, and respectful. I highly recommend them. read more

Wayne and Emerald City sewer lined our shared sewer line, which was starting to deteriorate.

End result: the installation went well and everyone is happy. Highly recommended! read more

I was looking for bids to line my aging sewer pipe. Wayne and his team responded quickly and suggested a pipe bursting alternative. I did some reading and realized it was clearly a better option than lining, and his bid was cheaper than my other options.

Great Service, came out and inspected bad side sewer line. Gave us a bid the same day. Very reasonable price, half of another bid we had received for a liner fix. Emerald City Sewer installed brand new pipe the whole length of our side sewer all the way to the connection to the street. Very professional help, did a great job and it was completely done in two days. Can't say enough about what a great job they did. You can't go wrong with Emerald City Sewer.

After the sewer scope inspection on our new house revealed a few holes in the line, we asked around for a few quotes to get it fixed.

They kept us updated throughout the process with photos and patched up the driveway for us. Great communication, price, and high quality work. Highly recommend! read more

ECS was recommended by a plumber who said "they've been my go-to drain guys for years" and that they were quick responders and competent in all facets of drain problems (sewer/cold water feed from city/gutter drains, etc.). Wayne showed up promptly after we messaged him with a kitchen drain backup problem. He was personable and quickly assessed and cleared our blockage and pointed out possible preventive measures via the sewer scope that we might want to consider in the future. His cheerful confidence was based on performative skills and his followup suggestions didn't feel pressured. Would definitely recommend ECS and will be using them again for some sewer pipe repair. read more

Emerald City Sewer was recommended by another plumber who doesn't do drain cleaning and said that he has only received positive feedback about ECS's work from clients. We concur. We had water backing up in our basement and Wayne worked around his schedule to fit us in. He and his crew were prompt, communicated well, diagnosed the issue, and took care of it. The experience was professional and honest. The current issue is resolved but future work will need to be done for a permanent solution. We would highly recommend Wayne and we are glad to know we now have a reliable plumber we can call on with confidence. read more

I had them repair the drain line for my shower. They were fast and professional and for how quickly the were able to get to me I thought that I would have to pay way more. very reasonably priced! read more

The sewer pipe connecting my home to the city main backed up several weeks ago. I rented a power machine and cleared it. The fix lasted a couple of days. I called several local firms to get estimates to repair whatever was wrong. ECS scoped the pipe at no cost to me and provided a quote. The quote I received from ECS was very competitive compared to other estimates I got. I ended up having ECS installing a new pipe within my old pipe from the sidewalk to my home. The disturbance to my yard was minimal. Wayne was easy to talk to and wonderfully honest and straightforward. The crew who performed the work was very professional and great to work with. I worked in construction for 15 years and then was a consulting mechanical engineer for commercial and institutional buildings for 18 years. I am familiar with construction and working with tradesmen. I am very pleased with the quality of work, cost, and the company in general. I highly recommend this firm. read more

I can't recommend this company enough. The owner Wayne is personable, honest and responds in a timely manner. They have done multiple jobs for us but the biggest was a sleeve for our sewer line. HIs crew worked fast and they left the area just as clean when started. Best company ever!!! read more

Above and Beyond, and thats exactly what all home owners want to hear when it comes to potentially pricey sewer and/or plumbing work. But Wayne and Will at Emerald City Sewer not only solved our issue quickly and smoothly but I received extremely kind and clear communication throughout the process. Service was beyond excellent. We all cringe and clutch our wallets at the thought of needing plumbing work or when there is "wind" of sewage issues. And sadly, in this COVID climate, we are expecting things to turn down a dark path however I am fortunate to have been able to reach out to a very local business...literally, down the street. Over the weekend, I began to notice a pungent smell in both bathrooms. So bad I had to turn on the vent fans and close the doors. I left a message on Sunday for Emerald City and received a message first thing from Wayne, letting me know that Will would be down to check out the problem for us later than morning. I shared concerns about COVID safety measures being taken and he reassured me they are following all CDC recommendations and extra measures could be taken if needed. All work was does quickly, Will kept me updated as to what we saw, what he believed to be the issue, reassured me that he could take care of the problem and shared pictures along the way. Super sweet guy. More than fair and reasonable price, which makes mama happy. : ) Thanks Neighbor! read more

Wayne and his team squeezed in the repair of our foundation leak between storms a few days ago. They quickly analyzed the problem, got to work, patched the hole and were done in less than two hours. I checked the repair after additional rain early Sunday morning. No leak and the soil was beginning to dry. read more

Just had Wayne from Emerald City Sewer out after a Home Depot clog remover didn't work on an outside drain. He prepped the floors with tarps, went out 90 feet with a scope until he reached the clog, stayed at it until it was cleared, and cleaned up the area perfectly. His price was reasonable, he was professional throughout, and I would highly recommend! read more

I am a Home Inspector and have referred Wayne, owner of Emerald City Plumbing, for 4 or 5 years. The customer feedback on Wayne has been outstanding every time. He is competitively priced, shows up on time and completes the work as contracted. Not only is he on my referral list, I hired him to do the plumbing work when I added a bathroom to my basement. Recently, he replace a gas hot heater for a friend, it was leaking into a bedroom and she needed a new one right away. He came out next day, on a Saturday, put in a new high efficiency heater and took the old one away. His customer service, skill as a plumber, and dependability make him my go to plumber! read more

We have been very happy with the work Emerald City Sewer has done at multiple properties I manage at a nonprofit organization.
