These five star reviews are all correct! We had a clogged outside drain that was backing up and leading to rain water getting in our basement. With all the very bad thunderstorms we've had, I called first thing in the morning because we were expecting thunderstorms later that day. Z called and said that we didn't even need to come home from work, he would take care of it. And he did! Problem solved. And the price was reasonable. We have found a new plumber! read more

Very skilled, great work. Good communication and personable. Highly recommend!

Zivko is a great plumber, honest, dependable, friendly, supremely competent. I got a referral from my usual handyman and was not disappointed at all. He fixed a drip in my furnace by installing an overflow tank. He explained everything and charged an extremely reasonable rate. When I was concerned about some water I found by the furnace, he came right over and didn't charge me for the visit. He stands by his work and doesn't gouge his customers. He's a great guy too! read more

I have a few properties and he has fixed both boiler and forced air electric heater issues. Zivko is punctual, honest, works fast and is reasonably priced. If only I had other types of contractors as good as him. I can't recommend him highly enough. I had tenants whose boiler died in January and he totally could have tried to rob me but he fixed it for a price so low I felt obliged gave him a tip. read more

This guy did a great job at a reasonable price. What more could you ask for? I had a badly clogged kitchen drain line. He was able to remove the blockage and replace some poorly done DIY plumbing that the previous home owner had installed. read more

Absolutely outstanding. Great, fast, reliable and friendly service. And very good pricing. In one trip, Zivko fixed two running toilets and my AC. All of this in a couple of hours and for a very reasonable price. If you need a plumber, Zivko is the one to call. read more

Very friendly and courteous. Came in right on estimate.

We absolutely agree with all of the other 5 star reviews for Zivko at Payless Plumbing! He was here this afternoon, took care of several problems including a clogged shower drain, a leak under the kitchen sink and a splashy toilet, . He was able to diagnose each problem and fix it efficiently. As he went along, he noticed other small nuisances that had been bothering us, pointed these out from his side and quickly fixed them as well. He is very knowledgeable and a truly delightful person! His rates are quite reasonable and, no doubt, considerably better than most other plumbers we might have called. We're very grateful to Yelp reviewers for having steered us to him. Highly recommend!! read more

There is no one better to call when your grandma decides to stuff a bunch of cucumber peels down the drain without running the disposal. Zivko showed up within 2 hours, squeezing us in between two appointments. As usual, Zivko found and fixed the problem with ease but also found poor plumbing design issues that were causing leaks. Though he was pressed for time, he stuck around and did what he could to fix the poor design issues. Fantastic mind, fantastic guy. Dont think twice, call payless. read more

KIVKO...he is a plumbing angel! My lively and spry 87-year old mom has had another plumbing company out to fix her outside faucets however, they never fixed anything even after a second attempt. We have since noticed that everyone in the neighborhood that has used them also has had them for the same problem more than once. (Hint: They have TV ads touting their work and the company goes by a three letter mans name ... the Plumber.) Well no more nonsense and no more outrageous bills...from now on we will always use and highly recommend the best...Payless Plumbing...Kivko you are the best! Not only did he return the phone call promptly, he was there shortly after exactly when he said he would be (a rarity these days)...he was so nice, polite, knowledgeable and so reasonable! Best part the faucets are fixed and work perfectly!!! What a remarkable find--thank you YELP! ....Mom is happy again! read more

Zivko did a great job for us. We just moved to a new home. He showed up on time, explained everything he was doing, gave me a little tutorial on my mechanicals, and showed me a number of things that were above and beyond what he needed to do. Very personable, polite, reasonable price. read more

Zivko was prompt, friendly, and reasonably priced. The work was done well and he didn't mind when I was watching him do the repair and asking questions. He was very kind as well. I would definitely use him again in the future and recommend him to others. read more

It was the coldest night of the year and our gas furlnace wouldn't ignite. We called a number of plumbers with four or more Yelp stars hoping to get somebody that night. Zivko called back in about a half hour and said a trip that night would be wasted. We would have to pay for an emergency visit and parts would not be available until the morning anyway. He calmed me down and said he'd see me at 8 in the morning. It was 5 degrees and Zivko and his main man were 10 minutes early. He figured it out in about 10 minutes--I needed a new ignitor-- came back 40 minutes later with the part and was done in another 20minutes. I was cold, irrational and would have paid him anything to have heat back in the house. But Zivko guaranteed the work and the part and charged me $300. If you need a plumber, better call Zivko. read more

Super helpful on phone with photos to help with problem! Will use them again! Fast replies!

We found Zivko on Angie's List. Due to his excellent reviews, we called him to get a quote to redo the plumbing in our basement . We had several plumbers come out for a price quote but Zivko was the most knowledgeable. He explained everything to us in detail and gave us great advise. He was very respectful of our house, took off his shoes, put down sheets to protect our floors, and left the house clean and in order. He is a great guy and it was fun to work with him. The price was fair and the service excellent. We called him several more times for other plumbing issues. He always responded in a timely manner, was very reliable, and fixed the problem. We would certainly use him again and highly recommend his services. read more

I needed a new garbage disposal, and saw the reviews on yelp. I called and left a detailed message. The plumber called back a few hours later and gave me a reasonable estimate over the phone. He came right over the same day and did a great job. I believe he was fair, and seems to care about doing good work at a fair price. I had contacted 2 other plumbers and still haven't heard back, so I'm glad payless came through! I will use this company again. read more

I had a problem with my toilet: my toilet is not straightforward but an ecoflush which required more work than someone like me knew how to fix when I had an issue. The whole thing needed to be replaced and I had to order the parts. Once my part arrived, I called Payless Plumbing. They were very responsive, able to show up at the last minute, and install my replacement part. As this was the only toilet in my apartment, I appreciated the responsiveness and flexibility. A job well done. read more

Another big thumbs up for Zivko. Same-day non-emergency appointment on a Saturday. The job wasn't totally straightforward, but he handled it all in stride. Plus he's a genial guy. read more

I had major plumbing issues just before the Christmas holidays. Not realizing that it was more than just "an overflowing toilet", I reported that was the need. When the plumber arrived he immediately realized it was a much bigger problem ... the main drain was clogged. This was supposed to have been a quick appt and he had scheduled a couple of other minor jobs right after mine. He left with a promise to return in two hours and he did. This time he worked attempting to open the drain but the clog was farther out than the reach of his snake. He contacted another plumber with the right equipment, cleaned up everything and only charged me for one trip. I would guess he spent at least a couple of hours.with my problem. Honestly, I have never had that kind of experience with a plumber. It has always been that I have felt I was way over charged for the most minor project. If you need a plumber who is knowledgeable, had integrity and is very fairly priced... I would highly recommend Payless. Brenda Top of the Park read more

I got in touch with Payless Plumbing on Yelp and they got back to me immediately. They said a plumber would arrive at my home around 8:00 A.M, which he did. The guy they sent, unfortunately I don't have his name, was friendly informative and got right to work. He was finished repairing the pipe, to my water heater, in less then 1 hour. The soldering job on the pipe was seamless. When he finished the job, he didn't have a invoice, but promised he'd mail me one, which I received in 2 days. I was more then happy. Just wish I knew his name,which wasn't legible on the invoice. read more
