    We had a plumbing issue with toilets backing up into the shower and tub and several house guests visiting. We called and talked to David who sent John out within a short time to check the source of the problem . John was very polite and personable and explained the options..he was able to find the clog in the line and fix the problem...we were so relieved to have the issue resolved on a Saturday before a holiday week and especially with houseguests! The charges were very reasonable and we are so pleased...we will be using this company for any future plumbing issues in the future!

  • *****

    Great customer service! John was very knowledgeable, prompt, polite and straightforward. Will definitely be using Clear & Present Plumbing in the future.

Thankful to have you in our area - hopefully won't have another need anytime soon, but will definitely choose this company again.

    Let me start by saying I am so thankful for David and Stephen with Clear and Present Plumbing. I was in desperate need for a plumber to come out and figure out why I had no water coming to my house. Stephen was efficient, extremely professional, and utilized all his resources to fix my issue. I will definitely use them again!

    Clear and Present Plumbing installed a new water heater for me. They were a delight to deal with and professional in every respect. They are my new go-to plumber.

  • *****

    Best plumbers I have ever dealt with. Professional, knowledge is wide-ranging.

  • *****

    David of Clear and Present Plumbing came to work on my hot water heater that would not stay lit. After a quick inspection, he found rust where it shouldn't be. Instead of just replacing the assembly he took time to analyze the situation as to why the rust was there. The theory is the vent cap on the roof allows water to travel down the vent pipe during hard rains and put the flame out. He cleaned rust off a few parts, put them back in place. We will wait until the next blowing rain and see if the theory is correct. This has been an ongoing issue since the house was built.
    We appreciated that he didn't just replace the part and call it fixed.
    He is a professional young man and his bill was very reasonable.

    David and his brother just left my house after fixing my leaky sink. I rent the house, and have been trying to get this sink fixed for about 2 months. Within about 5 hours of putting in the request through the management, David was at my house and fixing my sink. They were polite, professional, quick, and personable. I cannot stress how stress free this service call was. I live in central Austin, for the record, since they are located down in Kyle.

    These guys are wonderful! We needed hot water heater serviced, new faucet put in and had questions about a water filtration system. Their work is excellent, their professionalism spot on, plus they talked with us about our future water treatment needs and pricing AND saved us DNA testing on our dog by confirming that our dog is Lhaoso Apso mix! Saved us a dna test! Thank Clear and Present! Love the magnet too!

  • *****

    David was awesome and did the job quick. Very nice guy and I would recommend him to anyone for their plumbing. Dont go anywhere else. Call David now!!!

  • *****

    These guys are the only plumbers I will ever call again. I had an issue lingering for over a year from another plumber and they fixed it in less than 30 minutes. Highly recommended!!

  • *****

    We've had David out several times to our house in San Marcos and have been extremely pleased with his work. He replaced our water heater and went above and beyond to make sure it was done right. I'd recommend him to anyone in the area who needs a reliable and professional plumber.

  • *****

    Great service and experience! A real pleasure have such professionals doing great work! Travis was extremely helpful and patient. When needed, I will definitely have them work for me again.

    Thank you Sir - very impressed !!!!!!!!!

  • *****

    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.

  • *****

    If you want great service, call this company. Honest and professional and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this company! I will be using them for all my plumbing issues!

  • *****

    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!

  • *****

    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.

  • *****

    We were very impressed and pleased with our experience. There was great communication with David as we diagnosed our issue and scheduled a repair for our old shower plumbing. When Chance arrived he was on time, professional, and experienced. The repair was completed quickly, fairly priced, and the area was left very clean. We look forward to working with them on future projects and are happy to recommend to friends and family.

  • *****

    Great plumbing service! Used these guys on 2 projects so far and we are very happy with them!

  • *****

    David and his brother have helped me with plumbing questions/needs a couple times now. I really appreciate that he does not over-charge and he does not over-diagnose, either. He thought he could do a simple fix for me recently, and he did not charge me for the trip because the fix only took a couple minutes. He told me what the issue would be if it happened again, and how much it would be if I wanted to fix it. Very honest and helpful guy, and it is much appreciated.

    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!!

  • *****

    On two occasions I contacted Clear and Present Plumbing for services at my home. One was for the repair of under-sink waste lines for my kitchen sinks and garbage disposer while the other was a much larger and more complex project to install a new natural gas line to my range. Both projects were done to my complete satisfaction. The gas line required opening walls and working in the limited confines of my attic space. The quality of the work was excellent. Permits and inspections were taken care of and the work sites were completely cleaned when the jobs were finished. Prices were reasonable, work was completed as committed, costs were on budget (much less than competitive bids), and all appointments were on time.

    I highly recommend David Richards from Clear and Present Plumbing. Should I need plumbing services in the future, I will not hesitate reaching out to David. In fact, I will not bother getting competitive bids because it will not be necessary.

    I don't usually do reviews, as they are generally geared toward a negative experience with a local business. And after reading some of these great experiences with Clear and Present Plumbing, I quickly realized that there weren't any negative reviews, and I'm not surprised. Since everything I would have said has been written in the other reviews, I will just say "Thank you" for what you are doing. You have kept me out of the "hot water" many times and I have always felt like priority when I need to call. You guys (David and James) have just been fantastic to work with and I'm glad to see that your business is thriving because of it.

    I needed someone to go look at my rental property ASAP. Tenant said there was a leak etc. I messaged 5 businesses with info etc. Clear and present plumbing was the only one who could get to the house within a week, actually the next day!! I let him know I was the landlord so I needed the info ahead of starting work. He gave me a quote right away and then the next day he showed up on time, let me know what was wrong, completed for less, and I paid online. Will definitely use again

  • *****

    He came over last week to fix a few plumbing problems. He came the same day I called and did an excellent job! All is working well now. And his prices were very reasonable. I was very lucky to find David!

    This is a great plumbing company. I am 74 and have dealt with a lot over the years. They are so efficient and thoughtful and take so much pride in their work. I will sing their praises to anyone that listens. THEY ARE GREAT!!!!

  • *****

    I've had these guys out twice and they were great. This last time, they could find nothing wrong and didn't charge me. I was so grateful. In the past they did good work for a reasonable charge and came to my house quickly. You won't go wrong with them.

  • *****

    Working with David was great. He came when he said he would on the same day I called. He knew what the problem was immediately and explained everything. He showed he how to bypass the water softener and cut off the water there in case of future problems. I'll recommend him to friends and neighbors and definitely call him for any plumbing needs!

  • *****

    David and his team are the absolute best! Fair prices and knowledgeable, don't waste your time calling anyone else.

    We needed a repair done under our foundation, and his crew were so fast and tidy we hardly knew they were even there. He took the time to explain what the problem was and what the solution was, answering all our questions. His prices are very reasonable, and the job was completed very promptly. I won't ever call anyone else for any plumbing work.

  • *****

    Reached out to David for a quote to have some work done our water heater. He was very professional and got us the information we needed right away. Very impressed with his response and look forward to working with him.

  • *****

    I called to have David come out and look at our water pressure. We weren't getting good pressure while running two faucets. He said he was booked for the day but walked me through how to adjust our water softener and told me to send him pictures after I did what he said to confirm it was right. He saved us time and money and will always be our go to plumber! I feel confident he will never over charge and be honest. Problem fixed.

  • *****

    This is the first time I call Clear and Present. David called me back within 30 minutes and was willing to come out later in the afternoon, but he suggested a way I can do it myself and even told me where I could rent the tools .
    Clearly he was looking out for my best interest. Everything worked out perfectly and I am very grateful.

  • *****

    I depend on Yelp to help me with my contractor needs! I called David Richards with Clear and Present Plumbing LLC and I am , once again, very happy that I found his listing. He was very quick in responding and explained the possible charges before taking the job. After the completion of the job, David called me and explained what the problem was! Thank you David!
    I recommend this company to everyone!

    We appreciated that he didn't just replace the part and call it fixed.
    He is a professional young man and his bill was very reasonable. If you like to keep it local and live in the Kyle/Buda area, this is the plumber for you.

    I called David with a leaking shower faucet in the afternoon. When I called he listened to my concern and gave me some great advice over the phone. Since my particular situation was more dire than we expected, he was able to squeeze me into his schedule that same day. My family is grateful and we highly recommend David for all of your plumbing needs.

    David came out for a free estimate to check out my drain line, which is suspect of leaking due to foundation sinking issues around the bathroom. While he didn't find anything, he didn't force any unnecessary services and appropriately recommended that I wait until after the foundation repair to further diagnose any plumbing issues as the repair may cause further damage to plumbing anyways.

    David will be the first plumber I call in the future!

    Update - I had David out again to run the camera inside the house after the foundation repair. He didn't find anything and didn't charge an arm and a leg for the diagnostic work! Very honest guy - I find that hard to find in the repair service industry!

    I called David for some help with a hot water heater. Not only was he very responsive, but was able to meet with me the same day to check it out and give an estimate. His help and willingness to go out of his way, especially on such short notice was greatly appreciated. I'll be calling him again for any future needs. Thank you David!

  • *****

    David was courteous, prompt and cleaned up after he was done. David was quick to respond to my service request and was accommodating to my timeframe. I will use David again. Thank you David for the great work and prompt attention to my need.

    I am 70 yrs old & David Richards is absolutely the best plumber I have dealt with in my life. He is young & is trying to build his business the right way, courtesy , professional , thoughtful & dependable. Called himto fix a leak in our dishwasher. He responded to my call promptly & came within a few hours. He located the source of the leak and fixed it. He took his time & tested the repair. We thought it was fixed but two days later it started to leak again. He had told me that if it didnt work might need to replace the part but he would return for no charge but the part. He called & found out the part had to be ordered but wouldnt come in till day after I was leaving town. Got the part place to get a priority shipment for $ 55 plus the part was $ 50. He stated he woulf pay for the part if I paid shipping. Today he replaced the part & also found out water pressure was to high which may have attributed to the leak. Then when I tried to pay for the shipping he refused saying I had gone thru too much with him having to come back 3 times. I will definitely call him again!!

  • *****

    Clear and Present plumbing saved me a lot of money helping with a major plumbing issue I had. Best plumber I ever dealt with. I highly recommend using them!

  • *****

    I used David to fix a nagging odor problem and install two toilets - and a bidet. He came the same day I called. He explained everything he was doing to track the odor problem. He was professional and thorough and encouraged my questions. He has a Master Plumber's license which is not common, from what I know. The odor is gone and my new toilets are working great! You won't be disappointed. And my dog, who is afraid of most people, loved him. My dog and I highly recommend him!

  • *****

    I was a little worried hiring someone with little to no reviews but David did a fantastic job! He answered all my questions and gave options for the installation of my water softener. Very professional and knowledgable. He gave advice even before he knew I'd hire him. Would definitely recommend him to anyone for any plumbing project.

  • *****

    Excellent service. David came out when he said he would (no small feat, theses days with traffic) fixed my primary problem which with a garbage disposal, then trouble shot and fixed 2 more smaller issues. All for a price I consider better than reasonable. b k, west oak hill, austin.

    Can one have a "pleasant" plumbing experience? I did when I hired David to find some problems I was having with odor and the installation of 2 new toilets. TMI? He checked vents and used a camera to see if there were any clogs in my drain. He explained what he was doing and why. He fixed the problems and all is working well. I had put up with my plumbing problems for months. I had called one other plumber and after he hadn't come in two weeks, I called David. He came the same day. I found that David has a Master Plumber's license, which is an added bonus. He was awesome! I highly recommend him.
