Services
Clean Plumbing is a 29 year old company that was started by my father, James Swenson in 1980. He retired and moved to Colorado in 1990. For the last 19 years, Chris Swenson and James Bradford had been growing the company. We service all of Orange County, San Bernardino and Los Angeles. James and I have always said we are a lot better plumbers than secretaries.
No job is too small, here's a prime example: say your sink has a bad washer on the hot water. You could be wasting 20-40 gallons a day due to the constant flow. Now that's water money AND gas money for water heating down the drain, no pun intended. Think about a running toilet: does your toilet come on to refill the tank because of a leaking old flapper valve?
We are proud to serve the needs of our many restaurant customers. We know that your success depends on the smooth and reliable performance of your plumbing and we're here to help. May we make a suggestion? A timely inspection of critical plumbing pipes, fixtures, water shut-offs and bathroom facilities will often pay off handsomely.
As part of a larger home remodeling project this customer called Clean Plumbing in order to have their Water Heater removed and then replaced so that their dry wall could be repaired in one area of their home. Instead of replacing the old unit a brand new more efficient water heater was installed that will give them many more years of service at a great cost and energy savings.
Restaurants use us for preventative drain cleaning/clearing especially cable rodding to prevent the build up of grease from cooking and washing. We have a complete assessment regimen where we review all fixtures: urinals, women's or men's restrooms, floor sinks, kitchen sinks, main sewer and give you a written assessment of the health of your plumbing, including recommendations, with every service call.

We ordered a dishwasher from a big chain store and had a disappointing experience with the store's installation team. We quickly realized needed a professional plumber and called Clean Plumbing. He knew exactly what he was doing and was able to install a dishwasher and kitchen faucet with no problem. Since we had such a great experience, we asked him to look at two toilets to see if they needed to be replaced. He didn't try to pressure us to replace, but let us know we could hold off on replacing.

We appreciated the fair prices and honesty. If needed, we will definitely use Clean

Chris Swenson really is the best plumber ever. Does just an excellent job, and is such a nice guy. Recently, I had a very bad leak coming from my property, and water was running out to the sidewalk. Instead of just jack hammering away at my patio, Chris really studied the situation and did some tests. By using his smarts, he was able to identify the location of the leak, and no damage to the patio was necessary.
I've used Chris on multiple projects. Every time he's done such a great job. This was the first outdoor project. And again, I'm still super happy.
Thanks Chris

This is the 2nd time we've called Chris and 3 years later, my original review still holds true. He replaced our water heater 3 years ago and this time he replaced our bathroom faucet and drain. He was early to the appointment and didn't brag about how he's been the business for 50 years! Came and did the job and did it well. Will be using him for other plumbing needs and will definitely recommend him to anyone!

I bought a complete SpringWell water filtration system to replace an aging one (different brand) and needed a plumber for a professional install. Called a few plumbers to get an estimate, including others with 5-star yelp ratings. Chris (Clean Plumbing) was the only one to come in-person. He arrived on time within the said hour and looked at what needed to be done. I also wanted to get by-pass valves (extra) installed. His quote was very reasonable so I went with him. (Others were crazy high for what I thought needed to be done.) We set up an appointed time. He arrived on time and installed

Excellent service. Chris arrived on time. He repaired insides of 2 toliets. These toliets have never worked this good. Have had other big name plumbers "fix" these toliets before and a few months later same leaking and lack of proper flushing returned. Chris was professional and polite. And a bonus - he completed the job for 25.00 less that his original quote!
I will definitely use Clean Plumbing for all my Plumbing needs in the future.

Super high pressure. He came over to diagnose an issue with the water heater. We asked him about a clogged drain, without looking at it he said it'd be at least $100. When he looked at the water heater, in seconds he concluded that we needed a new one and that it would cost $1500 for the replacement. He wasn't willing to consider a tankless installation. I asked him for ten minutes to make a decision; he said ok, but he kept pressuring my wife to hurry up and get a replacement. Five minutes later my wife asked him to leave. He turned a relatively low urgency issue into a high pressure

I found Clean Plumbing through some very good reviews on Yelp. I asked Chris to come out to fix my dishwasher which was discharging water under my sink. He came out right away, and easily fixed the problem for a reasonable price. Chris is a very nice, friendly guy. Very knowledgeable, and was super easy to schedule with.
After he left, I decided to replace a filter cartridge on my tankless water heater, and I ran into a problem attaching the new replacement filter. I didn't know what to do, so I gave Chris a call, and he said he could come back in 30 minutes. I thought that was really nice of

Needed a water heater quickly, mine was leaking. Had gotten several quotes, Clean was by far the most reasonable. Whole process from when Chris arrived to completion was only a couple hours. Very happy with the service and the job. I highly recommend Clean and would use them again for any other plumbing services I might need.

We were dealing with a gas leak when a kitchen range top was improperly installed. Chris with Clean Plumbing promptly returned our call and was immediately at our house to fix the issue. Very happy with prompt, courteous service and will use Clean Plumbing for upcoming shower renovation.

I had a plugged kitchen sink and called Clean Plumbing. When Chris arrived he immediately got to work. Chris was very nice and easy to talk. He cleared the plugged pipe and when he left, true to the company name, he left the work area clean and tidy. I plan on using Clean Plumbing for all my plumping needs.

I have used Chris and Clean Plumbing a number of times but this last was truly amazing. Besides the normal on time and smell good he found the problem quickly and left no trace of being there. I would use Chris any time and have recommended him to many.

A couple of years ago my drains were a mess. Chris took care of it and the still drain perfectly.
I have had him install a small water heater in my office. One of the things I really like about the service is that Chris will only use the best parts. He makes the point that the cheap plastic stuff just will not last and with plumbing why would you do that. Simple answer is some people just wan to save money now no matter what. Not a good idea for the long term. I'll stick with what chris has on his truck.

Work in an older building in downtown HB, so there are always some kind of electrical or plumbing problem cropping up. Chris & Clean Plumbing have been used previously by the office manager for her house to great success, so we thought we would give them a call when our kitchen garbage disposal locked up after the company potluck this week.

Chris was here at the office right away, took the sink apart, showed us where someone had used a drain-cleaning liquid that damaged the disposal, and installed a new unit in less than 30 minutes.

Knowledgeable, honest, and quick - what more can you want

My kitchen sink would not drain. I called Clean Plumbing and spoke with Chris. He was able to come to my house within the hour and immediately located and fixed the problem. I found Chris to be extremely friendly and efficient. It's good to have such a great plumber locally here in Huntington Beach. I highly recommend Chris and Clean Plumbing.

Chris is great. I have referred him to several of my clients and the outcome is the same; shows up on time, does what he says he will do, and charges a fair price. Isn't that what you want from your plumber? Call Chris, he'll definitely take great care of you.
