Michael replaced my water heater yesterday and I was very pleased with his company. When I first called him, he was out of town on a personal trip. Rather than dismissing my call as he was out of town, he took the time to speak with me and talk through the issues I was seeing with my water heater. Give Michael a call if you need help!

Michael came and put in a new hot water heater for us and did a excellent job. Even did it on his Birthday. Great service and great people. I recommend him a 10/10. Thank you for all you did.

Michael is an honest, standup guy, and will treat you right.  You can trust his work. Extremely fast response. I called him Monday afternoon with a water heater leak and by Tuesday evening we had a new water heater installed. Highly recommend!  Give him a call!

Andrew Skaggs

Mike rescued me from a basement flood that we discovered returning from vacation that wrecked our water heater. He was super helpful with troubleshooting the culprit of our leak, replacing our water heaters, and recommending the installation of a Moen Flo automatic water shut off. Highly recommend Payne & Son!

I called on Monday with a very leaky tub spout.  Micheal worked me in and came out Tuesday and fixed it.  We also needed our shut off valve upgraded and he was able to  do that as well.  Very speedy service and fair pricing.

We will definitely be contacting them for any future services!

FAQ

Drain and Sewer FAQs

What causes drains to clog?

Grease buildup, soap scum, hair, roots, and debris are the most common causes of clogged drains.

What is hydro jetting?

Hydro jetting is a professional drain and sewer cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to clear grease, roots, and heavy buildup from inside your pipes. It’s one of the most effective solutions for severe or recurring blockages and helps restore full flow without damaging your plumbing.

How do I know if I have a sewer line problem?

Watch for slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds, or unpleasant odors, those often point to a sewer issue.

Can you clear tough clogs without digging?

Yes. We use advanced tools like hydro jetting and camera inspections to clear and diagnose clogs with minimal disruption.

How often should I have my drains cleaned?

For most homes, we recommend once per year. Older plumbing or tree-heavy lots may need more frequent maintenance.

Do you replace broken sewer lines?

Yes. We handle full sewer line replacements and can coordinate excavation if necessary.

What areas do you service?
