FastPlumber near me

The 15 plumbers serving Largo, ranked.

We read 2,847 reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB for the 60 plumbers serving Largo — including the one-star reviews other directories bury — and ranked them the way we'd rank them for a friend. 46 of the 60 list 24/7 hours — but "open 24 hours" on a Google profile and "answered at 2 a.m." in a customer review are not the same claim, and we quote the reviews that tell you which is which. Rankings are not for sale.

Largo's problem isn't finding a plumber; it's telling them apart — the median rating here is 4.8, and when everyone has five stars, the stars stop helping. 59 of these companies carry 100+ reviews — enough history for real patterns to show. The patterns differ more than the ratings do: 37 of the 60 have a repeated complaint pattern in their reviews — quotes that grew mid-job, unreturned callbacks — flagged and quoted on their cards below. One number worth knowing: Roto-Rooter Plumbing of Tampa alone carries 3,551 Google reviews — the deepest review base in this radius. Across the reviews we analyzed, the work named most often is water heaters and drain clearing.

Updated Jul 11, 202620-mile radius of downtown LargoHow we rank
How we rank — the 60-second version

What we read: for each plumber, up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB — the full text, not just the stars. For this page: 855 reviews across 15 businesses.

What moves a plumber up: repeated, independent evidence of showing up when promised, fair and upfront pricing, and work that holds. One glowing review counts for little; twenty that agree count for a lot.

What moves a plumber down: repeated complaint patterns — surprise fees, missed appointments, pressure sales — especially when they show up on more than one platform.

What never moves the ranking: money. One clearly labeled sponsored slot may appear above this list; it never changes the order below it.

Our take on each plumber is our opinion, grounded in the reviews we quote on this page. Full methodology ↓

Our take — how we form it

1,309 Google reviews at 4.8 stars and BBB A+ accredited — but recurring complaint across years: $197/hr labor, $1,100 invoices, $1,400 water heater pitches that reviewers later regret.

Our sample skews heavily toward critical reviews — it disagrees with the Google average shown above.

Why we're cautious

  • Refusal to quote over phone is a documented pattern across 10+ years of reviews — pricing only revealed onsite (2 of 100 reviews)
  • Repeat-service callbacks charged at full price — sink clog returned within a month, only 15% off offered (1 of 100 reviews)
  • No phone quotes — reviewers report being charged whatever the tech thinks they can get ($1,100 for valve+cartridge+faucet+disposal, $197/hr labor, $600 to install washer valves) (3 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Sunday and same-day dispatch confirmed across multiple years of reviews — pipes snaked Sunday morning, sink clogs cleared same day (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)
  • BBB A+ accredited with 1,309 Google reviews, technicians by name (Ryan, Jarrett, Steve, Rob) repeatedly praised for explaining work and standing 10+ hours to finish (cited in 3 of 100 reviews)

Why we're cautious

  • $500+ charged for under-an-hour toilet snake job per one 1-star Yelp review. (1 of 93 reviews)
  • Two Yelp reviewers report sticker shock on small jobs — $638 for a PVC elbow replacement, $500+ for a toilet snake in under an hour. (2 of 93 reviews)

To be fair

  • After-hours and weekend emergency response is real — reviewers cite a Sunday garbage disposal call and a 30-minute arrival on an emergency main water line. (cited in 3 of 93 reviews)
  • Handles full re-pipe work, not just small fixes — one reviewer had a complete re-pipe of a 70+ year-old Seminole Heights home at a comparable quote. (cited in 2 of 93 reviews)

Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Largo: 91 of 98 analyzed reviews 5-star with workmanship=18 and fast_response=13; water heater installs dominate at 16 mentions; 5 reviews flag expensive pricing and 2 cite upsell/overcharge behavior.

Why we're cautious

  • Upsell behavior documented: tech inspected water heater unprompted during a toilet call, then quoted $4,000 to replace two 4-year-old toilets — toilet still not fixed after visit (1 of 98 reviews)
  • Pricing perceived as high in 5 reviews — one customer called pricing "high" for a 40-minute repair; "not the cheapest" noted even in positive reviews (2 of 98 reviews)

To be fair

  • Emergency after-hours response strong — called at 9:20 PM on a holiday Monday, tech contacted within 30 minutes and arrived promptly; weekend sewer blockage cleared same afternoon (cited in 3 of 98 reviews)
  • Water heater installs same-day with full scope — replaced, flushed tankless heater as bonus service, and explained maintenance care (cited in 3 of 98 reviews)

Big-name 24-hour shop with 3,551 Google reviews and a 4.8 — but 25 of the last 100 are 1-star, and complaints cluster around overbooking, surprise after-hours fees, and a review-bribery offer.

5★5

Our sample skews heavily toward critical reviews — it disagrees with the Google average shown above.

Why we're cautious

  • One reviewer says the tech offered 75% off the bill in exchange for a positive Google review — review-bribery behavior that may explain inflated ratings. (1 of 100 reviews)
  • After-hours surprise fees: a $500+ bill stacked with a 'late' or 'overnight' surcharge after the tech showed up nearly 4 hours after the scheduled window. (1 of 100 reviews)
  • A repaired main water line burst within 5 minutes of the tech leaving; despite 24hr service the next visit was a full day later. (1 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Same-day and after-hours dispatch comes through for many callers — one tech was on the roof running a snake within 30 minutes of a Christmas-morning call. (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)
  • Individual techs (Vincent, Scott Bowers, Marcus) called out by name for honest diagnosis after other companies couldn't figure out the issue. (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)

Why we're cautious

  • 1 of 5 reviews (20%) reports price gouging, misdiagnosis, and poor accountability after customer explicitly complained to ownership—suggests inconsistent quality control across technicians (1 of 5 reviews)
  • Significant pricing concerns: one returning customer was charged $250+ for a misdiagnosis and was quoted substantially higher rates than 3 competing companies (one offering lifetime guarantee at lower cost) (1 of 5 reviews)
  • Diagnostic accuracy issue: technician gave wrong diagnosis on follow-up visit, leading to wasted $250+ service call (1 of 5 reviews)

To be fair

  • Emergency response time: showed up within 1 hour when competitors quoted next-day service (cited in 1 of 5 reviews)
  • 4 of 5 reviewers praise thorough, professional work and attention to detail (cited in 4 of 5 reviews)
  • Transparent pricing approach: upfront estimates with multiple options, no hard-sell tactics (cited in 1 of 5 reviews)

Small sample — we've analyzed only 5 of 1,368 reviews so far. Treat this as a first read.

Why we're cautious

  • Reviewer explicitly alleges operation under multiple business names ('Clog Kings of Tampa,' 'King of Kings Plumbing') on same Google account and suspects fake review inflation, raising transparency and authenticity concerns (1 of 5 reviews)
  • 1 of 5 reviews reports significant pricing discrepancy: quoted estimate did not match final service charges (1 of 5 reviews)

To be fair

  • 4 of 5 reviews praise quick response and availability, including same-day emergency service during off-hours (cited in 2 of 5 reviews)
  • 4 of 5 reviews highlight excellent workmanship and technical expertise, including advanced diagnostics like video scoping (cited in 4 of 5 reviews)
  • 3 of 5 reviews specifically mention clear communication and taking time to explain work before leaving (cited in 2 of 5 reviews)
What reviewers praise
“Brad did a great job video scoping the drain that has been backing-up, and sharing the results that need addressing for a free-flowing drain. I would def recommend Clog King Plumbing and Brads’ assistance for any related plumbing needs — thanks!”
Edmund Urban · ★★★★★ · Google · Apr 2026
The most critical take we found
“I had a very bad experience with Clog Kings, LLC. In my opinion this company is not professional and their pricing practices felt very misleading. What was quoted or implied did not match the service provided. Also be aware that the same people appear to …”

Tampa Bay Plumbers LLC

We'd call someone else first24/7 per Google listing
4.7 (1,189 Google reviews) 16.5 mi from downtown Largo
Our take — how we form it

Dispatches emergency calls within hours with strong technical work, but a critical service failure and $195 diagnostic fee on a septic job raises concerns about troubleshooting competence.

Small sample — we've analyzed only 5 of 1,189 reviews so far. Treat this as a first read.

Why we're cautious

  • Critical diagnostic failure on septic work—crew incorrectly concluded septic tank was under trailer and not serviceable, charged $195 for 27 minutes of work, and competitor located the tank the next day and completed the job. Homeowner reports crew provided 'zero proof' and company refused refund. (1 of 5 reviews)
  • Appointment reliability issues—one review documents two appointment cancellations before finally being scheduled. (1 of 5 reviews)

To be fair

  • Fast emergency response—multiple reviewers report immediate dispatch and completion within 2 hours for urgent jobs like water heater replacement and burst pipes. (cited in 2 of 5 reviews)
  • Strong workmanship on complex projects—3 reviewers praise professional execution on difficult jobs including 300-foot main water line replacement with obstacle avoidance, sewer line replacement with tree removal, and full house re-plumbing. (cited in 3 of 5 reviews)
  • Goes above and beyond on service calls—one crew cleaned up debris and coordinated with neighbor's yard after major sewer work. (cited in 1 of 5 reviews)
What reviewers praise
“We had to replace our main water line on rather quick notice, which was no easy feat with a 300 plus stretch of various tree roots, sprinkler lines, and pool lines in the way. Tampa Bay Plumbers, Mike Benson and crew did a fantastic job of avoiding breaking …”

The most critical take we found
“I will never recommend this company. I had an appointment that was changed by them twice. After finally making it on the third appointment. The guys came out and could not find the septic tank. They poked all around the building and, with a phone call, …”

What reviewers complain about in Largo

The repeated complaint patterns our read surfaced, business by business — each links to the card where the supporting quotes live. How we find these →

  • Tampa Bay Plumbing LLC — 2019 Yelp review alleges $850 for 2 visits that failed to clear a commercial drain, then quoted $1,450 more; owner never returned call
  • EVERYDAYPLUMBER.com — Refusal to quote over phone is a documented pattern across 10+ years of reviews — pricing only revealed onsite
  • EVERYDAYPLUMBER.com — Repeat-service callbacks charged at full price — sink clog returned within a month, only 15% off offered
  • All Hours Plumber — $500+ charged for under-an-hour toilet snake job per one 1-star Yelp review.
  • Emergency Plumber Help — Multiple 1-star reviewers explicitly label the operation a scam: 'SCAM artists', 'reporting them to the BBB'
  • Emergency Plumber Help — Won't quote over the phone — pattern of high in-person quotes after dispatching tech, dropping price when challenged ($500 → $275 when laughed at)
  • Emergency Plumber Help — BBB rating F despite 5.0 Google average
  • Benjamin Franklin Plumbing — Upsell behavior documented: tech inspected water heater unprompted during a toilet call, then quoted $4,000 to replace two 4-year-old toilets — toilet still not fixed after visit

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Largo we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 855 reviews across 15 businesses.
  2. Patterns beat anecdotes. A plumber moves up when independent reviewers keep describing the same behavior: showing up when promised, quoting before working, work that holds. One rave changes nothing.
  3. Complaints count double when they repeat.Surprise fees, missed appointments, pressure sales — when the same complaint appears across reviewers (or across platforms), it caps how high we'll rank a business regardless of its star average.
  4. Money never moves the ranking.A plumber can buy the clearly-labeled sponsored slot at the top of the page — visibility, not endorsement. A business we wouldn't recommend can't buy the slot at all, and no payment changes the ranked order.
  5. Our take is our opinion.It's grounded in the reviews we quote and count on this page — check our evidence and disagree with us if you like. That's the point of showing it.
Every quotation on this page is reproduced verbatimfrom a publicly posted review and attributed to its author, star rating, platform and date. Star averages and review counts are Google's (or Yelp's) as of our last data pull. “Rating mix” charts describe only the set of reviews we analyzed, which we state on every card.
