Recommended Customer Reviews

Reliable company with knowledgeable technicians. They showed up in less than 30 minutes and solved the issue on a weekend within 2 hours. My only complaint is that they left a huge hole and mess in my yard and driveway and I was to left to input a new irrigation box and clean everything. If I'm paying $200/hr after hours you'd think you could spend 30 more minutes to finish the job and put the new box. It took me longer to do it because I don't do it every day.

I just want to start with I'm a female first time expanding business owner who's knows literally NOTHING about plumbing. David helped me understand exactly what I'd need for my salon and explained everything thoroughly. I would highly recommend David and his team to anyone needing commercial or residential plumbing. I appreciate that you and your team were on time and got the work done promptly and correctly! We will use you for any and all our future plumbing endeavors!

I was having a new shower built and needed a plumber. I started with a plumber I'd used previously but when the tile/bath installer came back, he commented on the issues he spotted with my new plumbing. I called my plumber who indicated that he could come back but it would be even more expense. I decided to start fresh. I am so glad I did. David gave me a very reasonable quote upfront, came the next day, made all the corrections and gave me a good explanation for what he had done and why. My installer came back the next day and was very impressed. So was I. Since then I've called David in to do a small job for me and again was impressed with his explanation of why and what he did. Also again, he was very reasonable.
David is very personable, professional and gets the job done correctly at a reasonable price in a reasonable amount of time.

Reached out to David early Monday morning about a clogged kitchen sink in a house which I had just purchased and moved into. He responded quickly with a quote and offered to fit me into the schedule that morning. The clog proved to be significantly worse than either of us expected, approximately three feet of hardened grease and garbage disposal debris that had accumulated in a dip in the line about 25' from the trap which he showed me through the camera feed.
Despite having to work on it longer than anticipated, he honored the original quote. He even allowed me to watch on his camera feed as he cleared the final bit from the line and pushed it on down into the main feed. The quality of service was excellent and timely, plus they cleaned up after themselves leaving the kitchen almost exactly as they found it, minus the clogged sink.
Good service, reasonable price and prompt response. It is easy to recommend David @ Clear and Present Plumbing.

Clear and Present Plumbing just fixed a big leak in my yard, for a reasonable price, and fit me in pretty fast, considering how busy they are. I really appreciated it because I had to have the water shut off until they could come! This is not the first time they have helped me with plumbing problems. They are nice guys, fair in price, and do good work. You can't go wrong.

David and his team at Clear and Present Plumbing have been our go-to plumbers for jobs small and large. He's responsive, hard working and always delivers quality work. When we encountered a clogged toilet recently, the project turned larger than expected when David identified there was a sewer pipe break. But, just as with the smaller jobs, David was extremely professional, walking us through our options, providing a detailed estimate, working with our insurance company and staying in touch every step of the process. He's a master plumber, and his experience really shines through! Highly recommend.

Great service overall! Punctual, polite, and took care of all of our questions with a smile. Considering we just moved to town, we appreciated the honesty from our service technician Chance who took care of us on the morning of our appointment. Definitely reccomend!

we have used this company in the past and found them to be reasonably priced cant say the same this last time we had the waste disposal under the sink replaced altou the tech came on time and did a excellant job the price at over $300 bucks seemed a little high the price quoted for the unit was about $110 the rest was labor. i checked in the hardware store where the unit was purchased and price was around$ 90 with discount for contractors making it $88and they install it for $103.. seems a little more for time than i was charged before and that was a* after hours job*.
did not recognize the crew who came this time ,perhaps its who does the job as to how much you are charged,i give a lot of referalls for this company as to pricing might have to reconsider next time im asked... still good work so deserves a 3

Guys came out and troubleshot and fixed/replaced what they thought was the problem without tearing into a wall. The leak continued so I cut a hole in the wall. Reached back out to CPP and they came right back out and fixed the leak with no further charges. Thanks gentleman. Appreciate it.

If you need a good, honest, straight talking skilled plumber, get with David Richards and his team at Clear and Present Plumbing. I had a water leak in my yard and got on Yelp and looked up plumbers and sent out a request to several for quotes and availability through the Yelp app. I got 3 replies but David's was the first and most detailed, so I decided on him and his company. I finalized the appointment for Feb 9, 2018 through the Yelp app. David and his apprentice Brother James provided a courtesy text that they were in route to my home and arrived during the appointed time. I was very pleased. These guys wasted no time in getting started, finding the issue and proceeded to make the repairs all while keeping me informed of the repair progress. The issue was a bad elbow joint that broke from ground shift and root growth. David and James replaced this with a stronger 90 degree joint and encased in sand after removing the roots so the repair would hold and even provided a 1 year warranty on the fix. So it was better than ever now and the final cost of the fix was actually $25 less than the original guesstimate. I was beyond pleased. To top it off, David sent the detailed invoice by email and it had a link attached to make the payment easily with a multitude of payment methods which was super convenient. I will not hesitate to contact Clear and Present Plumbing again for my plumbing needs. VERY RECOMMENDED!!
