The 15 plumbers serving Little York, ranked.

17 plumbing companies serve the Little York area within 20 miles, and we've read 1,189 of their public reviews — the critical ones first. 12 answer 24/7 per their Google listings; where reviewers describe real middle-of-the-night calls, that evidence is quoted on the cards below. Rankings are not for sale.

Ratings run high here (median 4.8, nobody below 4.0), but the depth behind them varies: 10 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 — 13 of the 17 companies have one — it's flagged below with their exact words. One number worth knowing: Elek Plumbing alone carries 1,073 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 Little YorkHow 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: 1,102 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 sample skews heavily toward critical reviews — it disagrees with the Google average shown above.

Why we're cautious

  • Surprise fee pattern: reviewer charged $1,225 estimate that did not include the expansion tank as quoted; another billed $700 for a service previously priced at $320/year — both reviewers describe feeling scammed. (2 of 98 reviews)
  • Yelp reviewer (rating 1) reports company kept a $300 customer-owned faucet citing internal policy; complaint not resolved after multiple follow-up calls. (1 of 98 reviews)
  • Pricing complaints in 9 of 98 sampled reviews; quotes for water heater replacement quoted at $4,500 for a 6-year-old tank, and expansion tank job misrepresented between estimates. (2 of 98 reviews)

To be fair

  • Same-day arrival documented in at least 7 reviews; technician on-site within an hour cited explicitly by one reviewer (themeCounts.fast_response=11). (cited in 2 of 98 reviews)
  • Workmanship quality recognized in 11 of 98 sampled reviews, including 400-ft well pump extraction completed in one day. (cited in 2 of 98 reviews)
What reviewers praise
I was able to call and get a technician out to my house in about an hour. Daphne and another young lady (apologies I forgot her name!) They were quick and efficient. Made sure the job was done correctly before leaving, and they made sure everything was …

What reviewers complain about in Little York

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

  • Elek PlumbingCoupon/pricing dispute: 1-star reviewer reports being told coupon was valid by phone, then denied by technician on arrival — alleged deceptive practice
  • Elek PlumbingNo-callback incident: 1-star review reports zero response over 2+ days after leaving message for an urgent well pump failure
  • Agentis PlumbingAt least 2 reviewers describe being charged $450–$625 for toilet/drain work lasting under 15 minutes, with one reviewer's problem recurring in 5 days at additional cost.
  • Agentis PlumbingOne reviewer reports tech used a hammer on drain cap before checking manual removal; cap was reinstalled crooked after $525 charge for 10 minutes of work.
  • JTS Plumbing & HeatingReviewer paid for new bathroom and kitchen plumbing, then faced low water pressure throughout house; owner asked for extra $500 for a filter and went silent when pushed back.
  • Mr. Kirby Plumbing, IncWith only 24 Google reviews total, 3 of 27 sampled reviews are 1-star — a 11% negative rate. One 1-star cites the phone operator lacking plumbing knowledge and 'driving customers away.'
  • Frank Toth Jr Plumbing & Heating1 of 15 reviews (Yelp, 1-star): after a costly full bathroom/kitchen plumbing job, Frank reportedly ignored the low-pressure callback and went uncommunicative — small sample but notable given 15 total reviews.
  • Edwin Stipe, IncHigh-pressure sales tactics documented: quoted $2,500 for a part, called back 20 min later saying $10,000 needed, then offered '$500 coupon found on their desk' — clear upsell escalation

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Little York we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 1,102 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.
