TESTIMONIALS
What Our Customers Say About Our Leak Detection Services
From small leaks to major repairs, our customers trust us for our precision, honesty, and care.

Teresa Mae
I am so grateful!!! I needed a new kitchen faucet. I was quickly provided a quote given recommendations and repairs were completed. Will definitely use again when needed!

Nathaniel Walsh
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!

Mike L1C4
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.

Eric Goodlett
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!

Amy Vanhoose
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.

Ethan Medley
Michael at Payne & Sons Plumbing was fantastic! Couldn’t recommend his company enough. He is knowledgeable, honest, and fairly priced. We are thankful for honest work!

Patrice Turner
Michael was great. He was friendly, professional, and tidy. He squeezed me into a busy day and his price was more than fair. I’ll be a customer, again!

Adam C.
I had a plumbing issue that needed urgent attention, and Michael was quick to respond. They arrived promptly, diagnosed the problem right away, and had everything fixed in no time. Not only was the service fast and efficient, but the price was also very reasonable. Highly recommended!

Larry Watts
Payne & Sons Plumbing fixed two toilets and replaced our outdoor spigot that had been leaking into the house all in less than an hour and a half!! Very much appreciate them coming out within a week, keeping us informed of the cause/solution, and the A+ quality work. Very affordable and professional. We will definitely be contacting them for any future services!
