We needed a completely new water and sewer service for an addition we built. Payne Plumbing handled all the permits, coordinated with the city, and installed both lines in two days. The yard was restored beautifully and passed inspection without any issues. Excellent project management throughout.
Our original water main was 60-year-old galvanized steel that had corroded to almost no flow. Payne Plumbing installed a new copper service from the meter to the house and the difference is night and day. Full pressure at every fixture and the water quality is dramatically improved. Professional from start to finish.
Payne Plumbing installed the gas main to my newly constructed workshop detached from the house. They coordinated with the gas company, installed with all proper materials, passed inspection first attempt, and cleaned up perfectly. Exactly the kind of reliable professional work I needed.
