Had a drain clog on a house we just moved into a month ago. Chuck was responsive, showed up first thing the next morning. He explained processes for maintenance of our drains as well as going through the process of unclogging our entire line (ran through all 50 feet of his snake to make sure it was clear all the way through the drain for both upstairs and down).

He was incredibly professional, honest in a field that generally doesn't include a lot of trust.

He gave us some amazing advice and I will most definitely hire him in the future.

Chuck was very responsive, he came out to the site the following day I called. He was punctual and professional. Chuck diagnosed the cause of the problem, examined the sewer line, unclogged hair trapped in the master shower drain, explained the cause of the problem, and suggested ways to prevent future drainage issue. Chuck is very knowledgeable, I will definitely hire him again. He charges by the hour for the first hour and by the quarter of the hour subsequently. I'd much rather hire a local business owner as opposed to big franchises which generally charge a site visit fee + a substantially highly hourly fees.

Greenlake Sewer and Drain came out to work on a slow shower drain and we were very impressed. Chuck was very responsive, happily worked with our scheduling constraints, and worked very efficiently. He was friendly and helpful and the cost was reasonable. Would not hesitate to contact him again or recommend him to friends and family.

We had roots in our side sewer, contacted Chuck in the morning and he was at our house by noon. He was very thorough, professional, clean, and friendly. Price was very reasonable as well. I highly recommend Green Lake Sewer & Drain.

We have used Green Lake twice in the past year (we learned about them from the PNA) and have been very happy both times. Chuck knows his business, shows up when he says, returns calls, and doesn't gouge on prices or try to sell you stuff you don't need. These qualities make him a stand-out character in a sector besmirched with dubious business practices, especially with the current construction boom. Next time I have a problem, I am calling Chuck again.

Our Kitchen sink decided to clog for good on a Sunday. I gave Greenlake drain and sewer a call and left a brief message. I received a call back very soon after and was given a next day appointment with a very reasonable arrival window. Chuck arrived on time and unclogged the pipe like a pro. He was friendly, informative, professional, and a downright super cool dude. Honest and inexpensive I highly recommend this company. 5 stars all day long. Thank you very much.

Had an issue with my downspouts going into the ground and thought I needed them to come snake it out. Turns out they didn't need to, it was a design flaw that I had to get fixed. Although they didn't have to do much, they were very helpful, professional, and even went through the house to see if there was any other issues they could help with since they came out, at no cost. I'll be using them again for my plumbing needs.

Chuck was quick to respond to my request for a quote to scope my sewer. He was the best price of all the different quotes I received. Chuck was on time for the appointment, did the work quickly but thoroughly, and was easy to work with. Thanks for your service!

Short opinion:
Green Lake Sewer is a small business and Chuck (the owner) is the person you speak to on the phone and the person who comes to do the work. I would describe Chuck as honest, personable, thorough, and knowledgeable.

The story:
My sewer backed up at night on a weekend in heavy rains. It took several calls to find a company to come out and unblock it. The company that came out said that their service included a ""free"" (nothing is free) camera scope which they came and did the next day.
The ""free"" service did not include providing me with a copy of the video. The line was intact without obvious bowing or breaks but with areas of root ingrowth that were responsible for the blockage. They recommended that I replace the line and provided a quote for the work (big bucks). I was skeptical and after learning a bit more (both about the problem I had and the company that did the initial work and assessment) I contacted Green Lake Sewer (based on previous Yelp reviews).
Chuck responded promptly to my Yelp request. When I called he said he could be at my house in 30 minutes (and he was), told me what he thought needed to be done and what it would cost.
Chuck and his assistant (trainee for whom he was very careful and conscientious about teaching, supervising and safety) along with the Spartan 300 (motor driven snake with a large cutting blade) cleaned the roots out from my line. The cost was reasonable and exactly as stated over the phone. Chuck answered all of my questions and made recommendations which included repeat cleaning and assessment in a year to get an idea of how fast the roots will regrow. He had me fill out a reminder card which he will send in a year and I will certainly have Green Lake Sewer return in a year for this service.
