Budget Sewer

Joe S.

Saw a Budget Sewer truck stop in front of my home in Seattle this morning. I thought he was going to work on one of my neighbors sewer lines. Turns out he just wanted to use the Porta-Potty that I had rented for the construction being done on my house. I guess he couldn't drive another two blocks to a gas station. I called Budget Sewer and he said I should have gotten the guy's name...at 7:30 am while still in my bathrobe. I wouldn't hire a company like Budget Sewer that doesn't respect other peoples property and thinks that other's should pay for their crap removal. They are a sewer company. They can pay to remove their own crap! There are trespassing laws in this state. Makes you wonder if they follow the law when it comes to their own work, like pulling permits?

Not recommended...spoke with the owner Paul on the phone and he gave me a date that he would be stopping by my job site. He asked for an email with the job details, which I forwarded off immediately after the phone conversation. No reply to the email, called to confirm our meeting and he asked for a text with the address (which was in the email that he probably never read) so I sent that. No response to text and never showed or called to reschedule. Called the next day and he told me he's on a big job and doesn't have time....Waste of my time, and totally unprofessional. I am a project manager and had to drive over an hour to get to this ""meeting"". I totally understand what it's like to have too much work on your plate, however that is no excuse to no call/no show. If you don't want the headache of dealing with flakey contractors like this find someone else.

Paul and his crew were incredible. My buyers needed a sewer scope inspection for their purchase of a house. Paul answered his phone every time I called and was able to come out the next day. Paul was there early, no-nonsense and was so professional. I would refer him a million times over. Thank you!

Just had our sewer line repaired. Paul and Budget Sewer did a great job for a fair price. While sometimes difficult to get in touch with, Paul and his crew responded quickly to the problem of sewage backing up into our basement. I called on a Sunday, work started on that Monday and work was completed by the end of the week. Can't ask for better than that. They had to do some digging, but not a full trenching and put everything back together when finished. Would absolutely recommend them.

Straight shooters. No frills. They know their trade. So I'm in the middle of my remodel in Ballard, and I'm adding additional square footage in my back yard. I'm digging an 8 foot deep, 15 x 36 hole. I get down to my old drain pipes. These have to go. Sure, they still work, but they're the old concrete pipes and they've had to be cleaned out on more than one occasion (roots and such). I can't refresh the whole house, and leave them in play. So I call Budget Sewer. They gave me a quote. Talked me through some principles for drainage (2% grade!, 45 and 30 degree turns!). I get my new foundation + footings poured (with new drain pipe stemmed out), and they knocked out the work in no time.

Two years ago we had Budget Sewer replace our sewer line from the house to the street. They were very professional, and did an excellent job. Recently, a sinkhole developed in the front yard where they had run the line causing our rock wall to sag. I called Paul and he said he'd come fix it. Paul could have easily said it's not his problem, but he came back and filled in the hole and fixed the retaining wall at no charge. Would definitely recommend working with them.

AMAZING customer service, quick work. My sewer line in my 1926 QA started to back up in the basement and we had the line hydro every 12 months for 4 years. I did this because I did not want to dig up the entire rear yard to replace the line. The last time, the line was falling apart and it had to be replaced. I had 3 bids and 1 company never responded 1 Best Plumbing completed blew me away telling me it would be 20k and I would probably have to tear up the alley. I felt they were praying on me because of my BAD BAD BAD situation.

I was naturally FREAKING OUT because I needed my sewer line. By accident I went to call Best Plumbing and accidentally called BUDGET and they picked up... said they would be right over.

They said they could reline the old line and not touch any of my backyard.

LONG STORY SHORT... it was half the cost, twice as fast It was Thursday and my wife and I were going to stay at a relatives that weekend to have sewer. They started Friday morning at 7am and left Saturday coming back Sunday for a final inspection and city inspection on Monday.

I cannot say enough positive about the way these guys work. They are quick, professional (and funny). HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!

I called Budget Sewer and spoke to their owner, Paul. I had a bad blockage in my sewer which I was concerned might be something worse than a blockage because just yesterday I had a different plumber/sewer guy come out and work for 2.5 hours snaking out the drain without success. He suggested that the blockage was in the city sewer since he took his snake way beyond my property line. $438 later and still no working sewage, I called Paul. He said he'd be here (I live in Ballard in an 100 year old house) in 10 minutes and he actually was! Within 30 minutes the blockage was broken up, or whatever the term is, and the drains were running smoothly. I will not hesitate to recommend this excellent company. How refreshing to write such a stellar review!

Before we moved into our new home, Joey had come out to do a sewer scope. Once we had lived in our new home for about a year, we wanted to have a second look at one of the sewer pipes in the back. We couldn't locate the video online, so Joey came out and did another scope free of charge. He wrote up new paperwork and gave us his honest advice on what he would do. We really appreciated his professionalism, and honestly. He was also very knowledgeable and highly-skilled. We would definitely recommend him!

Knowledgeable and professional. As a realtor I have used these guys numerous times and been very happy.
