You will have your job done by a journeyman plumber, not by new individuals just learning the trade. What does it mean? Oregon law requires business entities or individuals conducting construction activities within the State of Oregon to be licensed with the CCB. A license means the contractor has a surety bond and liability and property damage insurance. Gene totally fixed our Rinnai water heater, after two other plumbers declaring it un-fixable. This guy knows his business. If you have.

Due to an emergency on my part and my interest in shopping around, he had to come to my house twice before I accepted his bid. Once I saw the quality of his work and the lower cost, I decided to hire him for extra work. He was prompt, efficient, and affordable. I will definitely keep his card for future plumbing needs.

I hired Gene to cap off the lines of a shower valve, it took him 40 minutes and he charged me $1000, it was outrageous. When I complained about the price, he threatened to go after the homeowner if I didn't pay what he demanded. I am a general contractor, I have dealt with a lot of plumbers in my days, but I never dealt with a plumber like Gene before, he is a flat out con man.
I'm not one to leave reviews, but this man's behavior was so unprofessional, so beyond the norm, that I felt compelled to warn others in the hope of saving them some grief and a whole lot of money.

We had a plumbing emergency on a Saturday, the main water service line to the house sprung a major leak and we had to shut it off. I called two other places first that advertise "24/7" availability and just got their answering services that said they'd call me Monday or Tuesday. I took a chance on Affordable Plumbing even though they only had three reviews.
They answered and told me Gene would be out in one hour. Gene came out to my place, we both dug up the line where broken, and he replaced the bad section of the line including the shut-off valve. The work done looked very good. He knew what he was doing. He even cleaned up after by filling the hole and putting the valve cover box back in place. After he finished, since he was already there, I asked him if he could clean out our storm drain pipe, which had been backing up during heavy rains.
He could, and did. The price was reasonable, especially considering it was on short-notice on a Saturday. Gene was good to work with and had much more patience for my kids than I did as they gathered around to watch and ask questions. His work truck is probably the most organized I've ever seen, which is a good sign of professionalism to me. He had the parts and tools and was able to get to them quick. Very satisfied. In just a few hours he saved me from a really rough weekend with no water to the house. I'll definitely call him again if needed. Thanks!

I have had Chris with Affordable Plumbing & Drain Cleaning out to my place twice now and I could not be more pleased. They bill at about 30%-40% less than anyone else I have vetted and in addition they are skilled at what they do. He is semi-punctual but his knowledge and ability to apply what he knows to the job is unsurpassed. Give them a call, you can't go wrong.

Looking for an honest, fair and professional plumber? Quit wasting time and stop here with Gene at Affordable Plumbing & Drain. Gene responded to my call on Saturday and was able to quickly come evaluate a recent installation of a tank-less water heater performed by another company. I suspected that the previous company we used had cut some corners with a sloppy installation it turned out I was correct.
Gene is a Rinnai Certified Installer and takes this credential very seriously. He was able to identify and correct those issues quickly and with a fair price. My family is so grateful to have found him and we can finally breath easy knowing that we have a solid installation of our tank-less water heater. Thanks again Gene, we are very appreciative of you and your services.
