This is my second time hiring Chuck to unclog another one of my extremely slow shower drains when all of my DIY methods failed. He's been helping with drains all over my multi-story condo building for years. Drains and sewers are his specialty -- he "makes stuff go down," as he put it. It's nice being able to call a local, real person who answers the phone and can make it to you fast. Chuck is friendly, polite, funny, and honest. Yes, it's a bit pricy -- but comparable to most plumbers and Chuck can give free cost estimates over the phone without charging to visit and inspect first (like many other plumbers). He was in and out in under an hour and the final total was exactly as expected. Also, he guarantees his work for the next 30 days, so if you have any issues he'll come back out to fix them. Thanks, Chuck! read more

Chuck came out next day morning to unclog my aunts drain. Helpful and professional. Price as very reasonable Recommend. read more

This is an owner operated business and the owner Chuck is amazing.! He has over 30 years of experience and knows how to address sewage blockage. His response time very fast and he explained everything he was doing. I learned a lot about how to prevent future issues. I would highly recommend for any of your projects. He performed a quality job at a reasonable price. read more

Locally owned business. Chuck is very responsive and does high quality work at a fair price. This is the only business I will call when I need sewer and drain services. read more

Chuck & Brian came through once again. As a repeat customer of an older home, these gentlemen continue to keep my old pipes humming along. Quality service and expertise at incredibly affordable prices. Much cheaper to have them come out every so often rather than paying the crazy prices for redoing an 83yr old line. They are my go to guys! read more

Chuck was amazing. Responsive, informative, and best of all effective! He really went the extra mile to fit us in, fix us up, and keep us going. Highly recommend! read more

03/28/25 - Again had problems with our bathtub draining. I called Green Lake Sewer on 3/27 and they were out bright and early on 3/28 to work on our drains. Both Brian and Chuck are very personable and really know what they're doing. Who knew really cushy toilet paper can cause drain plugs? Anyway, they cleared out the drain and made a few recommendations for keeping the drains clear. I will call them again should we have any further drainage problems. read more

Greenlake Sewer and Drain were amazing! So grateful for their fast response to unclog the kitchen sink pipes. Chuck and Brian were friendly, efficient, and professional. They knew exactly what to do to snake the pipes and offered tips to minimize future backups. Highly recommend calling these guys! read more

I needed to have a tree root obstruction removed from my rainwater drainage system. Chuck and Brian came out when they said they would and knew exactly what to do, promptly accomplished it, and the bill was what they had estimated. Can't ask for anything more than that as far as the service. Additionally, they just were fun to be with - with great sense of humor. read more

Struggled with a slow sink that eventually backed up into dishwasher. Two other plumbers couldn't seem to fix. Called Chuck on recommendation of Pipe Doctor (who only does exterior drains) and they recommend Greenlake. Chuck answered promptly and asked "how about tomorrow" to come by. The clog was diagnosed and fixed within 20 minutes of arrival. Couldn't be more pleased. Call him! read more

I have been doing business with Chuck ever since we moved into this old 1913 house with many many tree roots in its side sewer. Every time, Chuck has been prompt, honest, kind and professional AND performed a miracle. Today was no different. He and Brian stick around until the job is done, for a fair price. This should be routine for any business, and it is with Chuck. He answers his own phone and still takes checks. I wish I could give him six stars. I'm grateful he's still in the business. I mean, I still have trees.... read more

Chuck answered our call for service promptly, made an appt for next day service. He and Brian showed up on time and promptly cleared the toilet of AirPods that were dropped in. Brian took time to assess that everything was actually functioning properly before leaving. Friendly, professional, prompt service. Pricing in line with going rates. No hidden fees or unclear charges. Thanks Brian and Chuck! Hopefully won't need you again, but have added you to my contacts just in case. read more

Had them come out for a sewer scope. Fast, professional, pointed out things and gave great advice beyond the job. Also just a really nice couple of dudes! Will definitely call them out again. read more

I live in Lynnwood surrounded by big, beautiful, Locust trees that regularly invade my sewer line. This year my regular plumber had trouble completely clearing the line with his equipment, so I called Green Lake Sewer and Drain. The reviews I read about Chuck and Brian are spot on. Chuck answers their phone and makes time to come out right away. They have reasonable pricing, they show up on time, and they're fun to be around. They put their camera down right away, and saw that parts of the line (the part that is the city's responsibility) are so old and damaged that snaking or hydro-jetting the line to take out the roots would have destroyed it. So they didn't touch it. Instead they took excellent video of the damaged pipes that I can share with the city so that the city can schedule a repair. I'm so glad these guys know when to get tough with a line and when to leave it alone. The wrong decision here could have completely blocked not only my line, but several of my neighbors' as well. I highly recommend Green Lake Sewer and Drain. read more

Chuck and Brian came out today to clear our 1959 main line. They were right on time and did a thorough and efficient job. They cleaned up afterwards and gave us instructions on how to properly maintain so the line will remain open in the future. They did a five star quality job for budget friendly value price. Do yourself a favor and use these guys. We highly recommended them. read more

Chuck was able to fix my clogged bathtub drain in 2 minutes with a snake, when Ally Plumbing wasn't able to fix anything! (Ally Plumbing also said the fix would have to be going up through my downstairs neighbor's apartment and replacing a piece of pipe Definitely wanted a second opinion!) Since Chuck was so quick in fixing my bathtub, I asked him to take a look at my slow-draining sinks in the bathroom and kitchen. Again, he was able to clear the drains and get them working properly. I should note that Ally also tried to tackle this problem and was unsuccessful. So glad I called Green Lake Sewer & Drain, should have called them first! Chuck was friendly and honest, and took the time to recommend Bio-Clean drain for maintenance and let us know not to use toilet paper that says "strong" or "absorbent", it's like flushing paper towels. Bonus: I called on a Friday evening, and he was able to come out the next morning (and only charged an extra $50 for a Saturday call) and he arrived within the agreed-upon time frame. I will call Green Lake Sewer and Drain for any other plumbing needs from now on! Even if it's something outside his specialty, I'd trust his recommendations. read more

We had a great experience with Green Lake Sewer with our backed up main line. Chuck and Brian were both super friendly and very helpful with guidance on how to keep them from repeat visits. The visit was quick and would highly recommend! read more

Chuck and his team came over in an emergency and fixed us right up. Price was extremely reasonable and the follow up with how we should maintain the pipes was much appreciated. Do yourself a favor and use them read more

Chuck and Brian came out today to fix a really stubborn sink clog in our really old house. They were on time, professional, and straight forward with me. They were also super responsive when I called to inquire about scheduling, getting back to me within minutes (call, don't email). It took more than an hour due to the poor design in our old home, but they eventually got it unblocked. The fees were as quoted, and I would recommend Green Lake Sewer & Drain (a small local business) to anyone with a stubborn clog. read more

Wonderful experience with Chuck and Brian. Both did a fast job on our drain as well noticing what looks like sewer mainline issues in the front yard read more

Responsive, effective, great value. Nice to work with an independent pro who won't try to upsell you on services you don't need.

Had a stubborn clog and needed a pro...and Chuck was a total pro. Responsive, friendly, fairly priced. Highly recommended.

If you can get them to do your work with your schedule there's no two ways to think about it. Like seriously. I had a clog over the weekend and they were unavailable until Monday. So I had to hire somebody else. But I decided to keep my appointment to get a scope done instead. I am so thankful I didn't go with anybody else. They are experienced and knowledgeable, they came prepared and heard all my questions and concerns. And the most important bit - their prices are almost half of the other companies and simple to understand - fixed hourly rate. Doesn't matter if it's a scope or a cleaning. They didn't waste any time and got right to work. Showed me camera footage clearly. And they were done!! read more

Honest, reliable, knowledgeable and fair pricing! They have come to our house twice to fix issues (one time after another major company couldn't fix- they were in and out in 30 mins.) I would HIGHLY recommend them! read more

Came out to service a sewer drain blockage. Identified a TP blockage and a more distal break. Couldn't clear the TP blockage with an augur. Refused to try a hydro jet. Referred us to another service, collected $400. Other service also collected $400 to clear the blockage - in 5 min - with a hydro jetter. More than a little disappointed in Greenlake Sewer. Break was a legitimate separate fee to a different service. read more

Holy crap! Literally! Our teenager goes through about 6 rolls of toilet paper a day and this morning everything started coming out of everywhere! These guys had it diagnosed, fixed and cleaned up (!) in about 45 minutes. They assured us it was the super absorbent toilet papers fault (and not our kid's). These folks were unbelievable and exactly who you want on your side in an emergency. read more

Another awesome experience with Chuck. This time we had a clog in our sewer line. Chuck came out the following day and the problem was fixed in less than an hour. I really appreciate the way he explains the issues, gives counsel on how to avoid problems in the future, and in confident enough about his quality enough to warrant his work. This is our go-to business. read more

Quick response & good work! Thanks for clearing out my kitchen sink. I'd absolutely hire them again.

These guys are awesome. Used them to clean out the sewer on our new house, and the original sewer report from the seller suggested that we might need a hydro-jet. Brian came out with Ray, and after taking a look at it, they said hydro-jet would be more expensive, and actually be bad for our sewer pipe. They cabled it, and fixed the issue quickly and inexpensively. We then used them to clean out the sewer in our old house to get it ready for sale. Here, we needed hydro-jet, and Brain, Chuck, and Ray all came out. Because of access issues, this was a tough job. I think a lot of other companies would have given up on it, but they were able to get all the roots out without damaging the pipe. Great work, cost effective, know what they are doing, and they don't try to upcharge you (and don't adjust their pricing up if they think your house looks pricier. Honest company. Highly recommend! read more

Chuck and Brian were great. They guessed that we had a backed up line over the phone, were able to come out a couple days later (a good indication they do quality work if you can wait), and got the clog handled in under an hour. Chuck also had good advice on how to prevent the issue moving forward. read more

Great service. Made time for us on short notice right before xmas. Diagnosed and fixed problem. Gave instructions on how to maintain drains. Good with our barking dogs. Would definitely call again and recommend. read more

These guys came to fix a clogged toilet . They tried to fix it by ramming their camera into it . They didn't even try to snake it. They reduced the price because they failed to fix the problem they left my bathroom with a bunch of wax on the floor from the wax ring charged $350 . The next plumber came and snaked the drain and easily fixed the clog. I wouldn't really recommend these guys. read more

I've owned and lived in several craftsmen homes, circa 1900, in the Greenlake area - and I've had to call in side sewer experts many a time. Finally, I've found a local company I can trust. Chuck and Brian came out after telling me exactly what I could expect for charges. They showed up exactly when they said they would. They did exactly what they said they would do. They got me up and running again for far less than I would have paid someone else. And, most importantly - to me - they took the time to tell me how to keep my system healthy and avoid serious expense in the future. The last two companies that came out did quite the opposite, and tried to up-sell me with dire warnings (and expensive excavation services) and proprietary root-kill products. I'm sticking with Chuck and Brian. read more

Chuck is the best at what he does. Been using him regularly over the years to clear drain clogs in my house, backyard cottage, and rental property. He is really good at not just fixing but also diagnosing if it's a more complex problem (he scopes the line in addition to clearing your clog). Highly recommended. read more

Best plumbing experience I've had in a long time. Chuck and Brian were incredible nice and knowledgeable. They walked through every avenue to get my clog resolved. Although they were ultimately unable, they were fair about the cost and provided great resources moving forward to have the issue resolved once and for all. I will certainly be calling chuck first thing any time I have an issue with a major clog. Because even if they can't solve the issue, they know exactly who in the area would be able to. Thanks! read more

After my regular plumber was unable to unclog my kitchen sink drain, I checked the online reviews and called Greenlake Sewer & Drain. I was delighted that someone actually answered the phone and said they could come the next morning. Chuck and Brian showed up on time (after texting me that they were on the way) and they skilfully dealt with a few tough challenges in order to successfully unclog the drain. They are not only great at what they do; they are both very personable. I was sad to see them go, but happy to be able to use my kitchen sink again. I would recommend them without reservation to anyone. Oh, and the charge was very reasonable. I feel lucky to have chosen them, and I will definitely use them for any future drain issues, although they said if I followed their advice, I probably wouldn't be seeing them again. read more

Asked for a referral from a good source and he came highly recommended. However he wanted to charge his $350 just to scope out the line. He actually did know other work. Fortunately my landlord is from New York and she got an east coast discount. If you just want your line scoped out you shouldn't have to pay more than $100. I would look elsewhere. read more

This company was so efficient and came over almost immediately after I called, gave a free quote and then fixed my backed up sewage. I thought I'd have to wait days, what a relief. I definitely recommend. Efficient, honest and courteous. read more

We received top-notch service from Chuck and Brian. They diagnosed our drain problem, fixed it and then confirmed the fix. We have nothing but great things to say about this business and I wouldn't hesitate to call on them again. Plus the cost was less than what we had paid for mediocre service in the past. If I could give them 6 stars, I would. read more

Greenlake sewer & drain came to my rescue today (during Covid-19 outbreak, no less) and unclogged my sewer pipe line. Chuck arrived shortly before the 10am appointment & we discussed the house sewer & pipe lines. He promptly got to work with an electric drum-machine pipe auger. After 100+ feet of cable down the drain, he guided through the clogged sections expertly. When he retracted the cable, up came a mass of BABY WIPES (and some old-style mop string) used by someone else living on my street! We tested the sewer line with all the house taps running and it was fully working again. All done in less than an hour. Chuck was prompt, efficient and knowledgable on this project. Will definitely use Chuck again for future plumping / sewer needs. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! (P.S. don't flush Baby Wipes ever...bad-bad-bad). read more
