The 15 plumbers serving Aiea, ranked.

For the 16 plumbers working within 20 miles of Aiea, we read 892 public reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB and ranked them like a friend who'd done the research. 9 of the 16 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.

Ratings run high here (median 4.8, nobody below 4.0), but the depth behind them varies: 9 companies carry 100+ reviews while others have a few dozen, which we treat as thinner evidence and say so on their cards. Where reviewers repeat a specific complaint — 11 of the 16 companies have one — it's flagged below with their exact words. One number worth knowing: Steve’s Plumbing & A/C Service alone carries 5,027 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 AieaHow 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: 890 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 ↓

4.9 (3,076 Google reviews)4.3 on Yelp (100) 12.3 mi from downtown Aiea

A-1 Budget Plumbing earns 4.9 stars across 3,076 reviews with BBB A+ accreditation — dominates on same-day availability and fair pricing, with 85% five-star ratings despite a handful of scheduling and unprofessional tech complaints.

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

Why we're cautious

  • Scheduling forced customer into a higher weekend rate after a 3-day wait; job left unfinished with a follow-up that took nearly a week (1 of 100 reviews)
  • One reviewer waited Wednesday through Saturday (forced into weekend rate) then received incomplete work because tech's drill wasn't charged (1 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Same-day service confirmed across 14 reviews including Sunday calls — office calls ahead and sends techs within hours (cited in 3 of 100 reviews)
  • 35 mentions of budget pricing validation — repeatedly cited as cheaper than Roto-Rooter ($200 vs $500+ for same drain snake job) (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)
  • Techs carry parts in vans, enabling one-trip fixes; office proactively called back a customer after a miscommunication to make it right (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)

Bill did an awesome job diagnosing my problem and coming up with a solution with my landlord that didn't involve any delays. Was able to repair my rotted waterline in no time. Feel bad cause it was so muddy but he powered though no problem! 👌

  • Lead tech trespassed into customer's apartment without permission and attempted to cancel a leak inspection — later linked to a personal conflict of interest with the unit above (1 of 100 reviews)
  • Installation pricing flagged as high by 5 reviews — $2,330 install on a $1,600 water heater; $300+ quote became $500 mid-job for 'back-to-back sinks' (2 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Same-day and Sunday dispatch confirmed — 18 same-day mentions; technicians text before arrival and follow up after job (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)
  • No upselling or runaround — 'no BS' framing appears in multiple reviews; customers offered options before work begins (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)

Why we're cautious

  • 1-star review describes tech who argued with homeowner about pipe location on a property the homeowner has owned since 1965, failed to problem-solve independently, and did not replace toilet seat cover after job — with only 96 analyzed reviews, this pattern warrants flagging (1 of 96 reviews)
  • 1 of 96 reviews describes a rude, dismissive tech who argued about pipe location and had to call his boss for help unclogging a toilet — isolated but a notable professionalism failure (1 of 96 reviews)

To be fair

  • Arrived 1 hour 15 minutes early on a same-day appointment and completed a leak repair in 20 minutes — same-day service confirmed in 12 service mentions (cited in 1 of 96 reviews)
  • Solved water heater issue that multiple other plumbers had failed to fix — got the part and restored hot water in one visit after others stood customer up (cited in 1 of 96 reviews)

Why we're cautious

  • BBB F rating (not accredited) directly contradicts 4.9★ Google score. No complaint details available, but an F is the lowest possible BBB grade — consumers should verify independently.

  • Same-day dispatch confirmed in multiple reviews including hot water restoration (no-hot-water) and urgent service calls; themeCounts.fast_response=14 across 73 analyzed. (cited in 3 of 73 reviews)
  • Faucet and fixture work draws detailed praise: Jon cited for explaining calcified valve replacement step-by-step; saved client money on disposal by teaching reset procedure. (cited in 2 of 73 reviews)

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

Why we're cautious

  • Pricing significantly above market: 2 Yelp reviews compare Steve's $870–$2000 pex pipe repair against competitors charging $383 for identical work — 'complete scam' language used. (2 of 100 reviews)
  • Flat-rate billing with no itemization — $533 to replace an electrical connector, no parts/labor breakdown — drew explicit complaints. (1 of 100 reviews)
  • Advertised same-day service not always honored; one reviewer waited 2 days, then experienced dispatch confusion and a missed 40-minute arrival window. (1 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Same-day and after-hours response confirmed in 5 reviews citing weekend_or_emergency and fast_response themes — Christmas Eve and Sunday bookings documented. (cited in 4 of 100 reviews)
  • Technicians praised for clear on-site explanation of root causes — calcium valve failure, pipe diagnosis — not just completing the job. (cited in 3 of 100 reviews)

What reviewers complain about in Aiea

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

  • A-1 Budget PlumbingScheduling forced customer into a higher weekend rate after a 3-day wait; job left unfinished with a follow-up that took nearly a week
  • 535 Plumbing LLCLead tech trespassed into customer's apartment without permission and attempted to cancel a leak inspection — later linked to a personal conflict of interest with the unit above
  • P & S Plumbing Honolulu1-star review describes tech who argued with homeowner about pipe location on a property the homeowner has owned since 1965, failed to problem-solve independently, and did not replace toilet seat cover after job — with only 96 analyzed reviews, this pattern warrants flagging
  • Alpha Omega Plumbing IncBBB F rating (not accredited) directly contradicts 4.9★ Google score. No complaint details available, but an F is the lowest possible BBB grade — consumers should verify independently.
  • Steve’s Plumbing & A/C ServicePricing significantly above market: 2 Yelp reviews compare Steve's $870–$2000 pex pipe repair against competitors charging $383 for identical work — 'complete scam' language used.
  • Allens PlumbingthemeCounts.expensive=5 across 100 analyzed reviews; after-hours surcharge ($400 extra) documented in a 3-star review — pricing transparency for emergency calls is an issue.
  • Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup24-hour emergency service advertised but call center is mainland-only — no tech dispatched at 2:30am despite email confirmation; customer calls it 'a deceitful ploy'
  • Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water CleanupDrain snaking broke apartment pipe, damaging 2 units below — charged $400+ and refused accountability citing standard waiver

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Aiea we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 890 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.
