Rich responds quickly to your emergent plumbing needs. He has fixed our gas lines, our main water line, and put copper drains on our hot water heater.
He gives us friendly advise about our projects.
I think what amazed me is when he showed up and fixed our gas line the day after Thanksgiving so that PG&E could turn it back on and we could have heat that night.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Butch W.El Granada, CA3101Aug 5, 2023

Rich Briscoe- owner of Briscoe Plumbing in El Granada serving the Dan Mateo County Coastside.
Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Apr 26, 2019Previous reviewRich came out to my home again recently to help me with a leaking toilet and a slow drain. I now refer to my house as the "Plumbing Palace" when I call him, because I've had to call him SO many times over the years.
I used to use Tim Kensit, who is now retired, and Rich worked for him for many years before doing his own business. He is very busy, mainly because he has a good reputation, is very honest, reasonable and fair. He will not gouge you or suggest unnecessary repairs. Over the years he has replaced my hot water heater, installed my recirculation pump (to save running cold water through the pipes until the hot reaches the farthest-away fixture in a large home, it's like having insta-hot on-demand HOT water as soon as you turn on the tap) and also fixed many other small leaks over time. He even installed safety Grab Bars in my tub, now that I am getting older. He comes out quickly for me, because I always pay him on the spot. (I know it is a small community, but if you stiff your plumber, or are slow to pay the invoice, they won't come out fast the next time you need them. If you're the type that doesn't pay a small vendor fast, hire someone from "over-the-hill.
I HIGHLY recommend Rich Briscoe, of Briscoe Plumbing!Jul 18, 2018Previous reviewIf you need a plumber, I highly recommend you call Rich. He has many year of experience, and won't rip you off by suggesting an expensive repair. I have been using him for so many years for different plumbing issues, I jokingly referred to my place as "The Plumbimg Palace" when I call him. He is a cheerful guy who helps when needed. He is busy because he was Tim Kensit's associate for many years, but Tim is now retired. (Formerly of Kensit Plumbing)

We recently got a new washing machine and it couldn't be installed by the seller as the connectors to the water supply weren't standard. I called Rich and he came out the next day, took at look at the connections and fixed it within a hour or so. He also replaced an outside faucet that was leaking.
He is an absolute pleasure to deal with and the total charge for the work was very reasonable and fair. I cannot recommend him highly enough and hope to use him for any future project.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Matthew C.El Granada, CA07Feb 3, 2023
You can't do better than Rich Briscoe for a plumber. He responds quickly, appraises your needs thoroughly and accurately, explains exactly what he's going to do and why, and answers any questions expertly and honestly. His prices are very fair as are what he charges for parts. If he's got a spare of what you need he may not charge for it at all. He's also very personable and while fixing or installing whatever it is in a jiffy he's never in a hurry and is very pleasant to talk with.

Rich is great to work with. He's responsive and knows what he's doing. The Coastside has lots of "creative" plumbing and I get the impression that Rich has seen some things in his career... For our creatively-plumbed house, he has always clearly laid out our options, whether it's to fix what's there or to replace it.

Rich did a great job fixing our leaking kitchen sink pipes and installing a new faucet. He is professional, personable, and reasonable with his fees. He seems to be very busy no doubt because of the quality of his work.

Awesome job. Came out within an hour of my call to fix a blocked drain. Identified some corroded pipes (even though the house is relatively new) and changed those for me too.
The cost was very reasonable. My experience with plumbers in the past has tended to leave me feeling like I have been taken for a ride.
Not this time. I would not hesitate to use Briscoe again.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Angelina F.Half Moon Bay, CA04Nov 27, 2018
This was the BEST plumbing experience I've had in my life. It was Tuesday, and I had been without water since Saturday! My home warranty company sent out the first guy late Tuesday afternoon. He refused to fix my leaking water heater, despite the fact it was STILL LEAKING. I called Rich in tears and he arrived in less than 30 minutes, fixed the issue, and gave me a fair price. He truly saved the day. I will only be using him from now on.

Over the years I've had several different plumbers come to my house to unplug the drains in my old house - built in 1961. I called Rich Briscoe and he was at my house to unplug my shower drain within an hour even though he had a full day of business already booked. He quickly assessed my problem and got to work. In the process he did what no other plumber has ever done that came to unplug my drains. He inspected the way my plumbing was constructed and showed me why I keep having the same issues. He described how my pipes should be replaced from old metal to new PVC because the old metal pipes get rusted up inside and create places for various things that go down the drain to latch on and build up whereas PVC is smooth and never rusts!
Rich has over 30 years of experience building plumbing systems, repairing, and cleaning them. With this plumbing construction knowledge he also was able to show me how if we just reconfigure our plumbing system things will flow much better and there will be less chances for the inevitable clog. Not only does Rich do great work he is priced reasonably and was the lowest quote I found after several calls. I finally found a great plumber. I highly recommend Rich Briscoe for any plumbing work!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
