Payless Plumbing And Sewers

Fast, reasonable prices and reliable

Clint is the BEST! He not only fixed my toilet which had a longer chain than it needed to have causing water to continue to overflow whenever you flush the toilet but he even tweaked my shower pressure for me free of charge when he noticed it was lower than normal. Having to wait for my landlord’s staff is always a pain and results in missing work since they come on their schedule, not mine. Clint fixed all these items in what seemed like a minute.
I highly highly recommend Clint! Thank you times a million.

I have hired Clint, the owner, several times to work on one of my rental properties and also my home. He has done an excellent job every time including a leak in the copper plumbing in a wall, installing a new hot water heater, hooking up the ice-​maker on my new frig, etc. His brother did the last job and was also great. And on top of being a good plumber, Clint sticks with his quotes and his prices are very reasonable. It has been a pleasure to work with him and I will continue to use him as my plumber.

We were limping along with our sad, leaky, barely functioning kitchen faucet. The appointment with the plumber to replace the fixture had been scheduled a week ago. He called the night before to reschedule and asked us to wait another week. We thought we could wait, but late in the day, the handle broke off and we were in a panic. I called Clint and it was already the end of his day. He asked if it could wait until tomorrow but heard the desperation in my voice and offered to extend his day. He made it by early evening and installed a beautiful new Hansgrohe faucet. Clint was highly professional and very efficient. And as an added bonus, the price for the repair was incredibly reasonable. I highly recommend them and I will definitely call Clint again for all my future plumbing needs.

Fast and friendly service ! He can do everything! He helped me multiple times as I clogged the kitchen sink/​garbage disposal. And helped me fix my dryer too! Very affordable and he’s not the type to ridiculously over charge. I highly recommend him for all your household problems! :)

Our bathroom tub wasn’t draining, so we tried to snake it out ourselves, but managed to get the snake stuck in the pipes. I had my regular plumber and a handyman come out to look at it first; both of them told me that repair would have to be done from under the house, but that the crawl space was too small for them to work in. They told me I would have to rip out the floor or «find a smaller plumber». They could do nothing to help me.
I called Clint in desperation, and he came out the same day. Even though he is about the same size as the other two men, Clint said he would have no problem doing the work. He has this kind of energetic can-​do attitude that turned that whole project around. His friendly confidence was just what I needed to ease my heightened anxiety.
Clint scheduled the work for the following morning, and was able to complete all the repairs that day, despite the very cramped conditions he had to work in. While under the house, he found some rotting sub floor sections and a broken vent; he took pictures of everything and patiently explained it all to me. When he was done with the repair job, he offered to snake out the main sewer line, and he even ran a camera through the main and talked us through the condition of our pipes. By the time he left, we had a good understanding of the problems with our plumbing and our options to fix them.
While plumbing problems are no fun, working with Clint was an excellent experience. I now have a new regular plumber!

Clint and his brother installed an in-​the-​wall recessed water/​drain hookup for some new laundry machines we’re getting. They did an incredible job. These guys showed up right on time, were very clean and professional, went above and way beyond what we needed for this job and gave us a very fair price.
Our old house presented them with some unexpected and unique challenges for this project, but they handles them with great skill and got the job done quick, fast and in a hurry without cutting corners and left the area clean and looking great.
I like supporting local family owned businesses and Payless Plumbing is one that I will recommend to anyone for any and all plumbing needs.

For those of us who have become familiar with the nightmare of plumming problems, it should be very understandable why I have decided to give this company a second 5 star review. Once again, the roots have invaded my sewer line and the courteous, professional and excellent service that Clint offers up to save us is second to NONE! Thanks again Clint… You are just the best!!! 10 stars if I could give em!

Very courteous and professional.
All of a sudden my kitchen sink on the trash compactor size was plugged. Called Payless and got Clint right away on his cell phone — he offered to walk me through how to check to see if I could declog it myself over the phone which I thought was very nice seeing he was on the roof on another job at the time. Long and short of it he did eventually end up coming out and it turned out that a tumbler had fallen into the sink drain and was causing the stoppage. The tumbler was transparent so it wasn’t obvious at all from just looking into the drain it appeared as if there was nothing causing the blockage at the entrance. After about a minute or so Clint stuck his hand in — something I was reluctant to do — pulled out the glass and voila!
But here’s the best part — I asked him how much I owed him for coming out and he said no charge! Heartily can recommend Payless and Clint and will certainly be using him when I have a real plumbing issue next time.

Installed new clean out in sewer line next to house under driveway in preparation for leak compliance test. Conducted test, brought in EMUD to witness test and arranged for Stege (local sanitary district) to inspect clean out before closing up. The cut into the concrete was done neatly as was the filling, placement of the cover and mortaring flush with the driveway. Clint was very responsive and knew exactly what was needed — more so than two other contractors who were contacted. This was a job very well done and I highly recommend him

These guys are the BEST! I can’t recommend them enough. Their prices are great. They are on time, and sometimes available on the spot. They bend over backwards to get the job done. Quality work. They are super cool. I’ve had them do a couple of jobs, and they are the ONLY plumbers I will use from now on. You can totally trust these guys. They know what they’re doing, and it is quality work. If I could give them 10,000 stars I would.
I love Payless Plumbing and Sewers!!!

Excellent Service and a Life Saver! Clint helped me out of a big time jam this evening!
I got home pretty late from work to find that our Bathtub faucet had gone from drip-​mode (which started 2 days ago) to a full out stream of water. (Of course this happens now as we’re in a serious drought throughout the state).
No matter how much I tried to turn off the water and put pressure the handle, it would stop for a bit and then just keep on pouring. Even though it was already 8:30pm I tried calling a plumbing company down the block… answering machine. Tried another, and got a hold of a nice guy but he wasn’t about to make the house call this late.
Then, I gave Payless a call. This should have been my first move, but truly 3^rd time is a charm.
Despite being after normal hours, Clint answered the call. He was about to head home for the nite from another job but was able to diagnose the problem over the phone [single-​handle shower/​bath faucet, Delta brand … our «cartridge» had worn out.] I didn’t know what this was, but I’ve since learned that this is the critical part that sits in the wall behind the handle.
He came by the house and fixed our problem like a pro. Water was no longer gushing out of the faucet and we had water running to the rest of the house.
So, I walk away from this experience very grateful for Clint’s help, very thankful for his availability, and all the knowledge he shared in the process. He chose to really help me out of the jam when I needed it.
I HIGHLY recommend Clint and the Payless Plumbing team for any issues you might have. They understand that helping customers and providing excellent service is the best business model one can have. 5 Stars well earned!
Thanks again Clint!

These guys are great! I first spoke with Clint when I called, he was able to fit me in the next day. His brother, Wayne, came out to fix our toilet seal. he was also very helpful. He explained the issue we had and explained all of our options. They charged me the exact amount they quoted me on and were reliable and efficient. I would highly recommend Payless Plumbing to anyone with a small or big job!

In the past four months I have had contact with three different plumbers regarding my Eichler slow drain. I won’t name them right now, suffice it to say that I have put them on my DO NOT ever call again. I have asked for many references, got a few names and stumbled on Payless and Cliff. He came to my home, I showed him what I thought was the problem. He fixed that. Then he proceeded to continue getting to the «root» of the problem. He used his camera to find a problem we didn’t know existed in a place I never expected. Cliff is a very intelligent man and extremely conscientious about doing the job Right the first time. Courteous and clean he finished the job leaving behind a very satisfied customer who will recommend him with complete confidence. Reasonable pricing too. If you have a plumbing problem, call Cliff and get it solved the first time.

Clint is absolutely amazing!!! If you need any plumbing or sewer. He is the one to call! I am a local Bay Area mortgage loan officer & Clint and his team takes care of business! I also have a 3-​year old who threw a toy down the toilet. Oh vey! But Clint kept me calm and took care of it. If can help me, he can help you! :)

I had an emergency with a clogged kitchen sink the very day of a large family gathering. I found Clint on Unilocal.He came to my home on a Saturday late afternoon! Did a quick job and a good deal. My hero! Thanks again Clint. Good service, kind personality and very fair price.

Why can’t Unilocal let us give MORE than 5 stars??? I gave this business five stars in September of this year and, after completing another job for us, I wish I could give them even more! We had monstrous water damage in our bathroom and Clint and Mark restored and repaired all the problems for a VERY fair price. They repaired the leaks in the bathtub and sink, completely replaced the sub-​floor, bolted the toilet back down and covered the floor with new tile. And they worked until almost 11 pm. to get it finished! (This was within the 8 hour estimate they gave us and it was one dirty, nasty job.) For the first time in years, the plumbing in our bathroom is trouble free. The business name may be «Payless» but there is NOTHING cheap, shoddy or «bargain basement» about their work. First class, all the way. Clint, Wayne and Mark are awesome.

Great service, professional, very knowledgeable, and honest. I would highly recommend! We needed someone to come fix our pipe when our waterline broke late in the evening. They came quickly and fixed the problem!

We had purchased a whole house filter from
and we had intended to install it ourselves. Ounce we started thinking more about it we realized we needed some help.
Our first try was to hire a local handyman but his installation was pretty bad. The system leaked and was done with crap PVC pipe.
After that we were stuck pretty bad because we had to turn off the water for the whole house at times which was very inconvenient.
We knew we needed a plumber so we started browsing through Unilocal for plumbers. We are in Fairfax but when I saw the listing for Payless plumbers in Richmond I thought give it a try. We gave them a call and at first they said they were all booked up. But by the time we got off the phone they said they would try to shift other customers around. They called back shortly and were able to come out that very day.
They installed the filter very professionally for a reasonable amount of money and it works great.

These guys are AMAZING. I originally hired them because they were recommended by my home warranty company for our water heater replacement. They went above and beyond to install our new water heater correctly and up to code – Clint also inspected all of our plumbing by going into the crawl space to make sure the water heater was our actual issue. The old plumbing was also done incorrectly and they fixed this while they were here. They even built out a whole new compartment for the water heater (dry wall, vents, etc). I cannot say enough good things about Clint and Damien!
They are also very good at small projects like building garage shelves and a workbench (which they volunteered to do after I asked if they might be able to). They worked late at night to complete this project before my fiancé came home (surprise for his birthday).
They are experts in their field. Highly recommend.
