What reviewers report — the concerns
Other directories bury these. We think you should read them before you call. Every concern below comes from the reviews it cites.
Red flag
Single critical failure on complex job (full repiping) involving multiple code violations and $8k+ customer loss; while only 1 of 75 reviews, the severity and scope of failures (5+ distinct code violations on one job) and post-failure communication issues represent material risk for large projects
Cited in 1 of the 107 reviews we analyzed.
One major project (full repiping for $8k+) resulted in multiple code violations including improper water heater installation, incorrect line routing, copper instead of plastic clamps, incorrect garbage disposal installation, and failure to solve the original brown water problem; customer had entire job redone by another plumber
Cited in 1 of the 107 reviews we analyzed.
Post-failure communication breakdown: when customer contacted Elijah about the failed work, he 'accused this plumber to be my brother' during a phone call to discuss corrections, damaging customer confidence in remediation
Cited in 1 of the 107 reviews we analyzed.

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“I would give zero stars if I could! Do your Homework!!! Elijah and KC came to do a full repiping to remove the old galvanized pipes and replace with PEX. Nice guys, horrible work and not sure KC is a licensed plumber but he works for Elijah & the work he and Elijah did failed inspection on many levels and we had to have the entire job redone. Unfortunately, based on a phone call that we asked another plumber to …”
“We had a toilet tank that was slow filling and noisy during filling. Also, we had some loose screws in the shower control plate, but not easy accessible because of a troublesome set screw. They replaced a washer in the fill tank and fixed the set screw. Very friendly guys to repair these minor issues. Unfortunately, they charged me $125 for this job. And my toilet tank still has the same problems.”
Positive
“We have been in Prescott for nearly 20 years and own over 12 rental units in town. In that time frame, many new plumber providers have come to town which is positive. Unfortunately, some are corporate concerns that don't have the right expertise and over charge in some cases X 2! Alphabet Plumbing not only is knowledgeable, timely, always communicative but reasonable. We always call Alphabet Plumbing first. You …”
“I have used Alphabet Plumbing at my work site a few times and have always received prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable service. Both from the field (Yay Elijah!) and their office (Yay Michelle!). I can happily recommend their services and they are now my 'go to' for plumbing issues, both personal and professional.”

The rating picture
Newest review in our sample: Mar 2026.
Across platforms
Significant gap: Google 4.8/5 (95 reviews, nearly all positive) vs Yelp 4.6/5 (14 reviews), but the Yelp rating is inflated by platform—the single 1/5 Yelp review (the repiping disaster, most recent major negative) represents a material disclosure not fully reflected in the 4.6 average. Reviewers should pull the 1-star Yelp review to understand the scope of the failure.
