Clearwater Plumbing

I've called these guys numerous times for leaks, clogs and installs. On all three visits the work got done promptly so I'm satisfied w/ that aspect. But the last visit involved too much up-selling and a small cartridge replacement that cost $120 (for the part only) just for what should've been an $8 part. I think they were changing me what it would've cost had the repairman had to spend an hours worth of labor to make a store visit, but since the repairman had the part in the car, they just charged me the store visit price. I'm gonna be looking for a different plumber next time. A word of advice for those who use these guys: go buy the possible replacement parts yourself and save a ton of money. You can always return unused parts.

They are awesome. I've called them several times to fix various issues at our house. They are responsive and get it done right! They are careful and clean in the work area (wear shoe covers). I really trust them and think their prices are reasonable.

I called Clearwater Plumbing because I had worked with Andrew Mills Plumbing in the past, but he sold his business to them when he retired. I left a message at their office on a Monday evening when I discovered our kitchen sink/disposal was leaking.

Larry called me back the next morning and set up a time to come by that same day. Tyler was the one who came to fix my leak -- he called when he was on his way and dealt with the problem efficiently and reasonably. Less than 24 hours after I found the leak, it was fixed.

This was a 100% positive experience -- something that often doesn't happen when you have to call a tradesman! I recommend these guys highly!

I picked this company due to high ratings on checkbook.org as I trust them more then YELP reviews. I called them on Friday morning and Larry did his utmost to get me an appointment on the afternoon of the same day. Taylor, Larry's son, came over within the time frame that I was told. He identified the source of the leak to be a loose housing on a drain pipe outside of the house in 30 seconds. He fixed it promptly and no leak since then. I am very happy with Taylor's work and his professionalism. I would have saved $280.0 (leak detector guy's fee which turned out to be very vague and inaccurate after all in this case) if I called this firm first.

A word of Advise: If you have a leak, call Clearwater first and then call a Leak Detection Company if needed. Most of the time, these guys can identify and fix the problem.

STAY AWAY FROM CLEARWATER PLUMBING. I have been SCAMMED by Clearwater Plumbing. I paid $355.15 for the work which was never performed.

There was a water leak at the water meter. The work was performed by Clearwater on Thursday, 2/20. The same day I called the water company to inform them that I had fixed the leak. The water company came on Monday, 2/24 and noted that the leak was still there. Water was still flowing into the ground. Clearwater had a 10% off coupon on Angie's List and they did not honor it at the time of service. So I had given a feedback on Angie's List that Clearwater had not honored its 10% off coupon.

Larry from Clearwater came to my house at 8:30 PM and promised me that he will fix the leak the next morning.

Next morning Larry called me and said that "" I have read your feedback about 10% discount at Angie's List and that I will never come to your house and you are an A***OLE "". He continued swearing at me till I hung up.

I filed a complaint against him with AngiesList. Larry promised to AngiesList to refund my money. This guy is so shrewd that he send a photocopy of a check to AngiesList stating that he has refunded my money but he NEVER sent me the refund check. This was he was able to get my negative review removed form AngiesList.

If I send you a photocopy of a million dollar check then does it mean that I actually ever sent you a real check for a million dollars

I am getting the review reinstated on AngiesList and I have also filed a complaint against Clearwater with California State License Board.

We've called Clearwater Plumbing twice to come out to my parents' house in the East Bay for a clogged sink and a leaky faucet.

Each time, I called at least two other popular-on-Yelp plumbers in the area in addition to Clearwater Plumbing. It's generally the same routine - leave a voicemail if no one picks up and hope that someone calls you back quickly. Larry from Clearwater did so each time and quoted very fair prices plus estimated time of arrivals. If they have to arrive early or late, they're good about giving you a call to let you know.

Both Larry and Tyler are efficient, neat and generally put my parents at ease. Calling out a plumber isn't usually the best experience and I've heard a lot of horror stories. Not the case the last two times Clearwater Plumbing came by. Unless something changes spectacularly, they'll be at the top of our shortlist of plumbers to call.

We needed a Bidet toilet seat installed. Tyler was extremely helpful, professional and courteous. He not only installed the seat in no time flat, he was able to solve a low-flow issue in the shower as well. Excellent service, very prompt. I highly recommend Clearwater.

One morning I found a leak and had to turn off all the water to the house. Clearwater Plumbing came out and fixed it the same day. They showed up near the beginning of the time window they gave me over the phone, clearly explained the cause of the leak, and did a very clean, professional job fixing it for a reasonable price.

I had a rather complex drainpipe blockage, which I couldn't clear with my 50' hand snake. I called a few places recommended by Bay Area Checkbook -- one bragged about superior technology and quoted a price over 3x what Clearwater estimated (and charged).

The person on the phone discussed the problem with me intelligently; the person who came out to the house arrived promptly and did an effective job at a reasonable price: whatever the blockage was, he pushed it out to the street.

Very pleased with this company and will try to remember the next time I need help with clearing a drain (which I still hope won't be soon).

I talked with Larry over the phone to replace our leaking water heater. He gave me quote for both a 40 gallon and 50 gallon. I later called him about going with a longer warranty water heater. He researched and only recommended the AO Smith brand even with a shorter warranty. He arrived within the quote time window, completed ahead of schedule, and per his phone quote. I should note his quote was lower than all the rest I received even correcting for the lower cost water heater. Compared to other plumbers I have tried, I will be calling Larry again if I need help.
