FastPlumber near me

The 15 plumbers serving Ball Ground, ranked.

We read 2,461 reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB for the 36 plumbers serving Ball Ground — including the one-star reviews other directories bury — and ranked them the way we'd rank them for a friend. 21 of the 36 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.

Ball Ground's problem isn't finding a plumber; it's telling them apart — the median rating here is 4.9, and when everyone has five stars, the stars stop helping. 24 of these companies carry 100+ reviews — enough history for real patterns to show. The patterns differ more than the ratings do: 21 of the 36 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: RooterPLUS! alone carries 8,257 Google reviews — the deepest review base in this radius. Across the reviews we analyzed, the work named most often is water heaters and sewer work.

Updated Jul 11, 202620-mile radius of downtown Ball GroundHow 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: 1,358 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 ↓

Towne Plumber

Top pick
5.0 (1,100 Google reviews)3.9 on Yelp (9) 17.4 mi from downtown Ball GroundNot a 24/7 shop
Our take — how we form it

Perfect 5-star average (1,100 reviews); fast_response in 20 of 90 analyzed reviews, 7 same-day calls, and 5 emergency/24-hour mentions — but 2 pricing complaints including an alleged bait-and-switch on pipe repair that ballooned $1,000 mid-job.

1★2

Why we're cautious

  • Bait-and-switch allegation on water line repair: quoted $650–$850, then demanded $1,000 more mid-dig citing wrong pipe size — 1 Yelp 1-star review (vnkIyW3RlpZB53WO9EmO). (1 of 90 reviews)
  • Pricing inconsistency flagged in 2 reviews: 1 reviewer (Kim Farmer) notes a quick repair felt overpriced; 1 Yelp reviewer (Michael F.) reports estimate ballooned by $1,000 mid-excavation due to wrong pipe size on truck. (2 of 90 reviews)

To be fair

  • Same-day service confirmed in 10 of 90 reviews; technician diverted from nearby job to fix kitchen leak same day, with area left cleaner than before. (cited in 2 of 90 reviews)
  • Water heater replacement completed in under 2 hours including removal of old unit and operational walk-through at a price reviewers describe as reasonable. (cited in 1 of 90 reviews)
  • Late-evening emergency call answered and job completed same night — owner personally attended an ~9:30 PM sewage drain emergency. (cited in 1 of 90 reviews)

Our take — how we form it

Owner Matt is named in nearly every positive review across 426 reviews at 4.9 stars; Sunday morning sewer rescues, 6pm sewage calls, and hydro-jetting same-day are repeatedly cited. One 1-star: emergency caller was told a callback would come in '1 to 2 minutes' and never got one.

What reviewers keep saying

  • Sunday and after-hours pickup when bigger 'Emergency 24/7' shops didn't answer — one customer said three large plumbers misleadingly advertised 24/7 before Zippy actually showed up. (cited in 3 of 99 reviews)
  • Sewer-line and hydro-jetting work called out specifically — Matt scoped a sewer line twice to be sure and hydro-jet'd a kitchen grease clog same day. (cited in 3 of 99 reviews)
  • Older-home expertise — Matt 'didn't walk in and jump to the most expensive fix' and assessed every option on an older-home emergency. (cited in 2 of 99 reviews)

  • One emergency caller said they were promised a callback in '1 to 2 minutes' and never got one — single complaint, but mirrors the 24/7-advertising gripe other reviewers raised about competitors. (1 of 99 reviews)

Why we're cautious

  • Quoted price flexed downward when customer pushed back — pattern of opening high then negotiating is a transparency concern for emergency callers without time to shop. (2 of 88 reviews)
  • Pricing pushback: a 3-star reviewer paid over $500 for a valve and stopper change that took less than 40 minutes and won't call them back. (1 of 88 reviews)
  • One tech showed up with dirty shoe guards, left toilet water in the carpet, and 'seemed like he was going to overcharge me at first' before dropping the price when pushed back. (1 of 88 reviews)

To be fair

  • Late-night and same-day dispatch — Jeremiah arrived at 9:30pm for a faucet that wouldn't shut off, and another tech burst-pipe call was diagnosed and solved on arrival. (cited in 2 of 88 reviews)

Our take — how we form it

The Original Plumber (E. Dennis): 84 of 93 analyzed reviews are 5-star; fast_response=13 and same-day=13 are the top signals, but 2 reviews document a $524 diagnostic-only fee not applied toward repairs — a structured upcharge pattern.

5★11
4★0

Why we're cautious

  • $524 diagnostic fee not credited toward repair — described as a "level 2" charge not disclosed upfront; customer calls it a scam; separate reviewer was told repair wasn't worth doing but still charged for the visit (2 of 93 reviews)
  • Customer service failure after flooding bathroom during service: refused to cover cost of painter to fix wall they cracked, responded "No, we can't do work we don't get paid for" (1 of 93 reviews)
  • Diagnostic fee structure is opaque — "Level 2" diagnostic for tankless water heater charged at $524 not applied to repairs; customer was not informed of the tiered fee before service (2 of 93 reviews)

To be fair

  • Same-day dispatch in 13 reviews with named techs (Alain, Casey, James) praised for punctuality and thorough diagnostics (cited in 2 of 93 reviews)
  • Sewer line and water pipe replacement handled efficiently — estimate came in below competitors, work ran until 10 PM to complete the job (cited in 2 of 93 reviews)
  • Honest diagnosis that saved money: James identified a warranty on a furnace part the homeowner didn't know existed, covering the repair cost (cited in 1 of 93 reviews)

Our take — how we form it

Extremely fast emergency response (often same-day within an hour) with strong workmanship, but pricing is inconsistent—some call it fair while others report charges 3-4x higher than competitors for similar jobs.

Why we're cautious

  • Significant pricing disparity: one customer charged $550 while a neighbor paid $150 for the same job type, suggesting either inconsistent pricing structure or potential overcharging (1 of 92 reviews)
  • Pricing is highly inconsistent: same job costs $550 for one customer but $150 for a neighbor using another licensed plumber; another reviewer paid $550 for gasket replacement they deemed 'ridiculous' (2 of 92 reviews)
  • Price concerns raised in 3 additional reviews despite praising work quality; customers note charges seemed 'very high' compared to other quotes (1 of 92 reviews)

To be fair

  • Same-day or within-hour emergency response mentioned in 8 reviews, critical for burst pipes at 2am (cited in 7 of 92 reviews)
  • Transparent communication and explanation during repairs emphasized in 6 reviews; technicians walk customers through work and explain problems in plain language (cited in 5 of 92 reviews)
  • High quality workmanship with no rework mentioned; jobs completed efficiently on first visit in 5 reviews (cited in 5 of 92 reviews)

Why we're cautious

  • One customer reports underground pipe failed again 2-3 years after $800 repair, claims material selection error, and received no callback after complaint (1 of 101 reviews)
  • No documented weakness found in analyzed reviews. Not enough data to identify consistent service failures—only 1 negative review in sample of 75.

To be fair

  • Emergency responsiveness: Multiple reviewers report same-day or sub-1-hour arrival for urgent calls, including after-hours water service breaks and basement leaks (cited in 4 of 101 reviews)
  • Honest pricing and willingness to save customers money: Multiple reviews mention owners declining unnecessary upsells or proposing cheaper alternatives than competitors (e.g., $950 vs. $1,700 quote; free repair for returning customer) (cited in 2 of 101 reviews)
  • Workmanship attention to detail: Reviewers praise quality over speed, with examples of reworking old piping for clean layouts and careful cement-slab management to avoid cosmetic damage (cited in 2 of 101 reviews)
What reviewers praise
“Good People. Harry Homeowner (aka ME) doesn’t know what he’s doing but these guys sure do. Cut it to me straight. Probably could have pretended there is more wrong than there was but voluntarily told me things were stable and performing to expectation. Very …”

The most critical take we found
“Had some work done in my front yard 2-3 years ago cause the water pipe was leaking near the sidewalk. Now it's leaking again and I paid $800 to get it fixed, come to find out the plumber told me that a lot of the parts weren't even supposed to be used for …”

Our take — how we form it

Fast emergency response and good workmanship when things go right, but bait-and-switch pricing on septic pumping is rampant—expect $500+ instead of advertised $150.

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

Why we're cautious

  • Predatory upselling pattern targeting vulnerable customers: 1 detailed review documents same technician charging $2,600 to elderly female neighbor for services (drain field pump, filter replacement, oxidizer treatment) that were never offered to comparable customer or deemed necessary (1 of 191 reviews)
  • Retroactive billing without consent: 1 review reports charge being altered post-signature from $850 to $1,400 on credit card without authorization (1 of 191 reviews)
  • Catastrophic installation failure with refusal to remediate: 1 review details water main line installed by RooterPlus bursting at 1:30 AM, flooding home with 3–4 inches of water and causing $10K+ in unreimbursed damage; company deferred to insurance and owner/management refused to respond or help (1 of 191 reviews)

To be fair

  • Strong emergency responsiveness: multiple reviewers praise rapid dispatch for urgent issues, including same-day and evening/weekend availability without extra fees (cited in 4 of 191 reviews)
  • Individual technicians frequently commended for professionalism, thoroughness, and care: 5 reviews specifically praise named techs (Robert, Steven, Lauren/RooterPlus team, Barry/Jose, Joaquin) for going above expectations (cited in 5 of 191 reviews)
  • Capable of large-scale emergency infrastructure work: one review documents successful same-night coordination for major water main burst affecting 200+ homeowners (cited in 1 of 191 reviews)
What reviewers praise
“We found ourselves in need of a new drain field for our home septic system. From my first telephone call to RooterPlus, I felt comfortable with each person I dealt with in the process. Every question I had was answered to my satisfaction. From their office …”

The most critical take we found
“Would like to forewarn anyone thinking about using this company, review is accurate and I am a previous customer. I live at Cedar Chase Townhomes in Atlanta GA, 30324. In 2021 our HOA hired Rooter Plus to re plumb water main lines and unit feed lines in our …”

What reviewers complain about in Ball Ground

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

  • Towne Plumber — Bait-and-switch allegation on water line repair: quoted $650–$850, then demanded $1,000 more mid-dig citing wrong pipe size — 1 Yelp 1-star review (vnkIyW3RlpZB53WO9EmO).
  • Plumb N Plumber Company, LLC — 1-star Yelp review describes tech leaving mid-job for an hour, returning with attitude, and threatening to walk off — isolated but severe
  • Southern Phoenix Services — Yelp 1-star review alleges fittings used on water main 'were never supposed to be buried and were not installed to code' — customer considering legal action
  • Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup — Quoted price flexed downward when customer pushed back — pattern of opening high then negotiating is a transparency concern for emergency callers without time to shop.
  • The Original Plumber HVAC, Septic & Electrical — $524 diagnostic fee not credited toward repair — described as a "level 2" charge not disclosed upfront; customer calls it a scam; separate reviewer was told repair wasn't worth doing but still charged for the visit
  • The Original Plumber HVAC, Septic & Electrical — Customer service failure after flooding bathroom during service: refused to cover cost of painter to fix wall they cracked, responded "No, we can't do work we don't get paid for"
  • Quick-Pro Plumbing — Significant pricing disparity: one customer charged $550 while a neighbor paid $150 for the same job type, suggesting either inconsistent pricing structure or potential overcharging
  • Good Ol'Boys Plumbing — One customer reports underground pipe failed again 2-3 years after $800 repair, claims material selection error, and received no callback after complaint

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Ball Ground we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 1,358 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.
