The 11 plumbers serving Georgetown, ranked.

For the 12 plumbers working within 20 miles of Georgetown, we read 81 public reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB and ranked them like a friend who'd done the research. 7 of the 12 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 5.0, nobody below 4.0), but the depth behind them varies: 3 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 — 4 of the 12 companies have one — it's flagged below with their exact words. One number worth knowing: Dauenhauer Plumbing Heating Air & Electric alone carries 5,226 Google reviews — the deepest review base in this radius. Across the reviews we analyzed, the work named most often is drain clearing and sewer work.

Updated Jul 11, 202620-mile radius of downtown GeorgetownHow 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: 81 reviews across 11 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 ↓

Top pick24/7 per Google listing

4.8 (5,226 Google reviews) 11.9 mi from downtown Georgetown

Small sample — we've analyzed only 5 of 5,226 reviews so far. Treat this as a first read.

Why we're cautious

Potential pricing strategy concern: Customer had to question and negotiate a quote down by $333 (34% reduction), suggesting initial estimates may not reflect fair market value (1 of 5 reviews)

Price sensitivity noted in reviews: 2 of 5 reviews mention high costs despite praising other aspects of service (2 of 5 reviews)

To be fair

Rapid emergency response: 4 of 5 reviews praise quick arrival times, including same-day/2-hour response on emergency calls (cited in 3 of 5 reviews)

How we rank the plumbers on this page

We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Georgetown we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 81 reviews across 11 businesses.
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.
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.
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.
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. Read the full policy — including what we do not do — on our methodology page.
