Layout Plumbing

I woke up to find water dripping from the upstairs shower into the downstairs bathroom. From past experience, I suspected the shower valve was the culprit. I called Josh from Layout, explained the situation, and he confirmed it. He gave me a fair estimate and arrival time, then showed up early and fixed the issue quickly. He also checked for other problems and discovered my pressure regulator had stopped working, which he mentioned without pushing for a repair. Josh was extremely professional and did an excellent job. I’ll definitely call him again and recommend him to others.

It’s been a while since I’ve had a plumber work for me. My last Plumber ghosted me, so I asked around, and fortunately someone recommended Josh to me. I needed someone ASAP to do some repairs for my tenants. Josh was able to respond to me that same day. Not only fixed the toilet that had a problem, but was able to replace a water heater. I didn’t even realize it was beginning to leak. Thank goodness, he caught that. I have also had do some work at my residence. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, he is very professional as well. I have since recommended him to family and friends. I highly recommend him!

I had Josh come by and fix my water heater leak that sprung out of nowhere. When I contacted him he responded within minutes. He was quick to quote me a very reasonable price after I sent him a video of the issue. It is hard to find reliable and honest individuals that won’t try to take advantage of people. Josh has earned my business going forward. Not only did he explain the work he would be performing, he also offered to walk me through how to clean and maintain the unit to prevent future issues. The fact that he offered to show me how to clean and maintain the water heater shows me what a great individual he is, no other person would have done that and risk loosing money. He could have easily sold me the cleaning service. This guy is the real deal! Thank you Josh for being honest and professional, I have no issues referring you!

Last night (12/9/25) at about 7pm, the hot water supply line that feeds into my hot water heater ruptured. It was spraying water everywhere and was drenching the drywall that surrounds the water heater. I texted Josh from Layout Plumbing and he responded within minutes. I sent him pictures of what was going on and he offered me three options. One, to come out that night and replace the supply lines. Two, to come out the next day during regular business hours to perform the work at normal business hour rates. Or three, to explain to me how to fix it myself, which I really appreciated. Knowing that I was not going to be able to fix the problem quickly on my own and would need to run to Home Depot to buy supplies, I opted for Josh to come last night. He was at my door in literally 20 minutes. Josh was professional, courteous, knowledgeable and personable. As he performed the work, he explained to me everything he was doing and gave me ideas on how to avoid issues like this in the future. I also expressed concerns that my water regulator might be going bad because I noticed water pressure issues in the house. Josh took the time to check the pressure, and sure enough, confirmed the regulator needs to be replaced. He again explained how I can perform the work myself, but I also asked him for a quote to do it. Thank you Josh. You are excellent at your trade and I will for sure be hiring you again.

I recently installed a new vanity and sink in our guest bathroom. I hired a handyman from TaskRabbit who specialized in plumbing to install the faucet, mainly because our HVAC unit drains into the sink’s p-trap, and the existing drain pipe was a different size and very short. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize until weeks later that he had jimmy-rigged the attachment which created a slow leak. I only discovered it when I opened the vanity cabinet and found water pooling inside. That’s when I found Josh from Layout Plumbing on the Nextdoor app and I’m so glad I did. He had glowing reviews, and now I understand why. I contacted Josh on a Sunday morning, and he responded right away. He asked several questions, requested photos, and was able to diagnose the issue. He sent over a quote and showed up first thing Monday morning. Not only did he fix the leak properly, but he also noticed that the faucet handles had been installed incorrectly and he fixed that too, at no additional charge. Josh was prompt, professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. I highly recommend Layout Plumbing and will absolutely call Josh again for any future plumbing needs!
