"..I understood that there would be overtime charges because of weekend and the time of day. I shut the water off to the house and didn't want to wait overnight and try to get someone on a Sunday. The plumber arrived earlier than some of his other scheduled jobs to take advantage of what sunlight remained. He explained that the pvc connection was made incorrectly and that was the cause of the leak. He removed the section of pipe that ran from the service entrance shut-off valve to the pipe that led to my backyard hose bibs. The section he removed contained another valve that shut water off to my backyard.Β 
He was installing the new section when I noticed that it didn't contain the valve to shut-off water to my backyard. (I usually have the water shut-off to the backyard except when I need it because I don't want to have to shut off water to the house when repairing leaks in the underground pipes or the hose bibs.) When I questioned the plumber about Β this, he muttered, "customers!" and went to his truck for a valve which he then installed.
My problem with Garrett is that the quality and professionalism you get when you call for service varies with the person who shows up for the job. I've noticed this from past experiences. For that reason, I'm looking for a plumber with consistent quality employees. For this job, I believe the plumber was probably well qualified, but I believe that he should have installed the same type of hardware that he removed (the shut-off valve) before proceeding.

"I was searching on HomeAdvisor for a plumber to replace two bathroom sinks and faucets. I read many positive reviews about Butler Plumbing. I received a call from Jeff Butler and we discussed the scope and cost of the project. Jeff offered some knowledgeable suggestions for the project. The pricing for the project was very reasonable and an installation date was set. Both Jeff and Phil arrived on time. Jeff even brought both a bone and a biscuit colored sink to the house so we could get the best match for what we were replacing. I am not aware of any other plumbing companies would do that for a customer. Both men were very professional and friendly. Phil actually handled the installation project. Phil is superb plumber and a perfectionist. His workmanship is excellent. The results of the project were amazing. I am already planning on Butler Plumbing for some additional projects. I definitely recommend Butler Plumbing, Jeff was easy to work. I am a happy customer. My thanks to both Jeff and Phil!"

Customers say: Quality work

"completed the request for a plumber. Had a telephone response from owner, David within 5-10 minutes. Explained what we wanted, which was removal of an old Hot Water Heater and replacement with a new water heater. An appointment was scheduled for the next day at 11:30am. David called next day, Sunday morning, to confirm the appointment and stated he would be able to come earlier. Upon his arrival, he assessed the issue and recommended the brand, the size and provided an immediate estimate. David was more reasonable than any of the other five companies contacted, including Lowe's and Home Depot! This owner was courteous, knowledgeable and very professional. My husband is tougher on professionals than anyone out there. But, David won him over! You will not be disappointed with Day or Night Plumbing. We would definitely use David for any plumbing needs. We have used the professionals from Home Advisor several times and have not been disappointed to date. Good job David!"

"I love this family owned company. If you have any plumbing issues call them they will be our plumbers for now on Jordan and Bill were amazing. I had a clogged toilet they gave me upfront pricing no surprise fees. They fixed the issue by snaking from the outside. But here is the amazing part they stayed and continued to flush the toilets to make sure the problem was permanently fixed. I could not be happier with this company. To top everything off they came out right away."

Plumbing FAQs, answered by experts

Clearwater's humid climate and proximity to the Gulf mean plumbing systems must withstand high moisture and occasional salt exposure. Rare winter freezes can threaten exposed pipes, so insulation is key. During hurricane season, the City of Clearwater Building Department recommends securing outdoor plumbing fixtures and checking sump pumps. Scheduling major plumbing work in spring or fall can help avoid weather-related delays and ensure optimal installation conditions.

Helpful?

When reviewing plumbing quotes in Clearwater, be cautious of contractors who lack a verifiable business address, request full payment upfront, or pressure you for immediate decisions. Unusually low estimates can indicate shortcuts or non-compliance with the Florida Building Code. Always verify that the plumber is licensed and insured through the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and request recent local references to ensure reliability.

Helpful?

In Clearwater, most plumbing work—such as new installations, major repairs, water heater replacements, and sewer line upgrades—requires a permit issued by the City of Clearwater Building Department. Minor repairs like replacing faucets or unclogging drains generally do not need permits. All permitted plumbing projects must comply with the Florida Building Code and are subject to both rough-in and final inspections by city officials to ensure code compliance.

Helpful?

For plumbing projects in Clearwater, PEX piping is highly recommended due to its flexibility and resistance to mineral buildup, which is important given the area's water quality. CPVC is often used for hot water lines, while PVC is standard for drainage. Copper is durable but less common near the coast due to potential corrosion. Always choose materials approved by the Florida Building Code and verified by local supply professionals familiar with Clearwater's conditions.

Helpful?

In Clearwater, hidden costs during plumbing work often stem from code compliance upgrades required by the City of Clearwater Building Department, unexpected mold remediation due to persistent humidity, and addressing corrosion in older or coastal homes. Delays in permit approvals may increase labor time, and fluctuating material availability can impact project timelines. High water tables in some neighborhoods can also complicate sewer line repairs or replacements.
