Cited in 1 of the 139 reviews we analyzed.

Cited in 2 of the 139 reviews we analyzed.
Pricing significantly exceeds industry standards: 8+ reviewers report bills they consider excessive or 'gouging', including $394 for garbage disposal install (< 1 hour), $2300 for three valve replacements and faucet install, $900 quoted for furnace cleaning, and $690 for a $10 part replacement
Cited in 5 of the 139 reviews we analyzed.
Aggressive upselling and unnecessary recommendations: multiple reviewers report being quoted for full system replacements when less-expensive repairs were sufficient (sewer line, furnace motor, AC/coil issues); one reviewer confirmed via second opinion that a $1500 motor replacement was actually a $20 capacitor
Cited in 3 of the 139 reviews we analyzed.
Work quality inconsistency and property damage: reviewers report messy sewer line work with uncovered dirt mounds instead of promised access, basement water damage from failed jetting procedure, and technician-caused damage during 'inspections'

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“I'm writing regarding two missed appointments with your team for the installation of a light fixture and an outlet. Both appointments required me to rearrange my work schedule (I work from home) and for my husband to be available. After the scheduled timeframe passed, we were told our appointment could not be honored due to overbooking. When I expressed my disappointment, the representative responded …”
“I have worked with this company for a number of years and have spent quite a bit of money with them. I had work done on Thursday - no problem with the repair - and feel that I was gouged by the pricing. It was an outrageous amount of money - pickup and delivery charges for small parts - $218.00? That is GOUGING as far as I am concerned. I am disgusted and angry. I called the company but thus far have gotten ZERO …”
“DISAPPOINTED - I will give them a few stars because they are timely and efficient when it comes to getting someone out in a day or two/their prices are predictable being a big brand company but they told me I needed a full sewer line replacement so I had another small business sewer company come out and check out the main line and they not only quoted me a more reasonable price but actually helped us find a solution …”
Positive
“Plumbline installed my HVAC system in my 30yo home a year and a half ago. Part of the program I signed up for was a yearly inspection, free for 4 years, to make sure the system will remain in top running order (you do know how much dust goes through the system, right?). Kelsey was my technician, and she was thorough, taking pics of the inside of the system, where dust begins to accumulate, and taking pressure …”
“Dominique came to our house to fix our leaking toilet. We even showed up early which is awesome. VERY professional but very easy to talk to. He was able to fix our toilet, and when he was done, he asked if we needed anything else.”

The rating picture
Our sample skews heavily toward critical reviews — it disagrees with the Google average shown above.
Newest review in our sample: Mar 2026.
Across platforms
Significant gap: Google 4.9/5 (1997 reviews) vs. Yelp 2.7/5 (58 reviews)—a 2.2-star difference. BBB A+ with zero complaints contradicts multiple Yelp complaints about pricing, missed appointments, and poor follow-up. Google reviews cluster as 5-star, while Yelp shows 10+ negative reviews concentrated on billing disputes (2023-2025) and reliability failures, suggesting Google reviewers may skew toward successful emergency jobs while Yelp captures chronic service and pricing issues from repeat customers.
