Chris' Quality Sewer and Drain Service

Chris is the best! I am looking forward to his return to work. I hope he's feeling better. I had a plumbing emergency and had to use someone else. They were good but not as good as Chris!

I have used Chris at least 6 times during the 16 yrs I have lived in Oakland, and what he writes on his business card is spot on- He cleans out your sewer, not your wallet. He is so good that it can be a few days wait sometimes to get him, but city's truly worth the wait. Everytiome I've used someone else, I have been sorry, Chris has spoiled me!!!

Plumbing events are always big drama at our house -- when can we get our next hot shower, where can we get our clothes washed AND how can we wash our dishes???

Thanks to the wonderful reviews posted, we gave Chris a call on a Saturday morning and followed his detailed instructions on what info to leave on his answering machine. He called us back promptly and arrived within his estimated timeframe. Chris went straight to work and cleared our drain with no muss, no fuss, no drama.

We were back to washing dishes and doing our weekend laundry by 3 pm. Thank you Chris! Our kitchen sink now drains like a toll-fee express lane in the South Bay.

Chris was wonderful. He came very quickly, did a fine job, and was very fair on pricing. I highly recommend Chris!

Four years later, my sewer line backed up and once again Chris came to the rescue. He was prompt in responding to my call, and punctual and efficient at reopening the line and dealing with a pretty nasty mess. Total pro and simply the best !!!! I highly recommend him.

If you need a clogged line cleared there is no one better that Chris! As a landlord I have used Chris several times. He has saved me thousands of dollars clearing lines that other plumbers told be would have to be replaced. Super reasonable pricing with a no BS attitude.

His service is affordable and decent quality but I are not going to hire him again. He decided to blame me for the problem I hired him to fix, in an antagonizing way. When I called him on it, he said he was being cute but I didn't appreciate that attitude

Chris is a really great guy, and is knowledgeable, tells you what's going on and is affordable. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a good sewer and drain person. I'd had a sewer line repair company come out and tell me that they needed to replace my sewer line. They couldn't come out the day I had a problem, and they gave me a couple of names. Chris was the only one who called back, came out the next day and told me that the only problem was that with the drought the roots have grown into the line because they wanted the water.

Chris has been keeping our very old drains clear of roots for many years. Every good thing said about him in all these other 5-star reviews is true. He's absolutely reliable, super-competent, honest and trustworthy. Ever since he cleared our blocked drain the first time and taught us about precautionary drain clearing we've called him once or twice a year to clear roots out before they caused another blockage. He's also cleared clogged lint out our washing machine drain a couple of times.

When you call to arrange for a maintenance drain clearing Chris sets up the appointment at a time convenient for you and arrives on time. There's no ""window"" of two or more hours, not knowing when he'll arrive. If you agree on10:00 AM, he'll be there at 10:00 AM. And he'll be friendly and patient and proceed to do his work efficiently. He works so calmly that he gives the impression of working slowly, but then the work seems done in no time. You can't do better than calling Chris Utter for sewer and drain service.

Came over in the dark of night and cleaned everything up. Reasonable especially cuz one is a bit desperate when one needs his expertise!
