The 15 plumbers serving Eastlake, ranked.

For the 21 plumbers working within 20 miles of Eastlake, we read 1,626 public reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB and ranked them like a friend who'd done the research. 12 of the 21 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 4.9, nobody below 4.0), but the depth behind them varies: 16 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 — 17 of the 21 companies have one — it's flagged below with their exact words. One number worth knowing: P.K. Wadsworth Heating & Cooling alone carries 3,785 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 EastlakeHow 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: 1,171 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 ↓

Elie's Plumbing, Sewer & Drain

Our take — how we form it

4.9 stars on 1,757 Google reviews; 91 of 97 analyzed are 5-star with reviewConsistency=0.909 — fast response in 20 of 97 reviews and fair pricing in 10, but 1 incident of price quote not honored on sewer camera inspection.

Why we're cautious

  • Verbal quote not honored on arrival — sewer camera inspection quoted $250, techs arrived charging $350 citing outdated price sheet; manager refused to honor original price; workers said it 'happens all the time' (1 of 97 reviews)
  • No-show at 2 scheduled appointments confirmed in 1 Yelp review — Kyle cited by name (1 of 97 reviews)

To be fair

  • Fast response in 20 of 97 reviews — same-day and next-day service confirmed; one weekend 10pm call answered with immediate dispatch (cited in 3 of 97 reviews)
  • Fair pricing cited in 10 of 97 reviews — multiple accounts of beating competitor quotes and trying cheaper fixes first before more expensive work (cited in 3 of 97 reviews)

5.0 Google stars across 1,053 reviews with BBB A+ accreditation; 98/100 analyzed reviews are 5-star with workmanship theme=28 — standout for middle-of-the-night emergency dispatch and toilet/drain diagnosis depth, but pricing drew 1 complaint ($360 for a wax ring).

  • Emergency night dispatch confirmed: technician arrived same night for sewage-flooding basement day before a move-in, repaired one toilet that night and scheduled the second (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)

Our take — how we form it

69 of 74 analyzed reviews are 5-star with fast_response cited 9 times, but pricing is a real risk: a 1-star calls a $4,000+ water-heater quote price gouging vs. competitors.

Why we're cautious

  • Overpricing flagged in a 1-star as 'price gouging', with a water-heater quote roughly double what the customer paid elsewhere (1 of 74 reviews)
  • A flooded-basement emergency was booked for the morning then delayed 4 days, leaving the customer stranded (1 of 74 reviews)
  • Pricing runs high: a reviewer reports a water-heater quote over $4,000 against a $2,000 job done elsewhere, and the most expensive of 10+ bids on an anode replacement (1 of 74 reviews)

To be fair

  • Fast, on-time arrivals cited repeatedly (fast_response in 9 reviews), including prompt scheduling messaged in advance (cited in 3 of 74 reviews)
  • Techs explain options without pressuring unneeded repairs, and double-check drains for new leaks before leaving (cited in 2 of 74 reviews)
  • Honest scoping cited: declined to install an electric tankless heater they deemed unreliable and charged nothing for the visit (cited in 1 of 74 reviews)

Why we're cautious

Small sample — we've analyzed only 5 of 322 reviews so far. Treat this as a first read.

Why we're cautious

  • Technician ripped out customer's basement hose setup without permission during a clog inspection (Kaitlyn Lucas, 2-star, home warranty job) (1 of 90 reviews)
  • 5-week open trench left in customer's tree lawn after water main work — 3 calls and no resolution (Joseph Feeney, 2-star) (1 of 90 reviews)

To be fair

  • Same-day and emergency response confirmed in 8 of 90 analyzed reviews (themeCounts.fast_response=9); septic pump failure resolved same-day per Neal Shirk (cited in 3 of 90 reviews)
  • Water heater + faucet work cited in 16 service mentions combined; Matt resolved water tank emergency plus follow-up faucet job across two days (plumber-cost=12 reviews, price matches quote) (cited in 3 of 90 reviews)
  • Technician knowledge and workmanship highlighted across multiple 5-star reviews; Tony remembered returning customer from prior service call (cited in 3 of 90 reviews)

“Mayes and Sons came out to inspect my Water Heater. John diagnosed the problem quickly, and assured us he would have it replaced today. He was quick and professional. I believe it was just about 2 hours for from when he arrived to when he left and everything …”

“I did not have a good experience with this company. Put in a ticket with my home warranty company and they assigned Mayes to come out to my home due to a clog. The first technician showed up on Friday (2/6/26) and found that there was not an adequate clean …”

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

Why we're cautious

  • Technician skipped diagnosis: during furnace short-cycling call, checked no voltage or components; recommended replacing a 7-year-old system. (1 of 100 reviews)
  • No-show: sent automated 'appointment completed' text without arriving; gave contradictory excuses when called. (1 of 100 reviews)
  • Diagnosis inflation documented: quoted $1,689 for parts costing ~$295 DIY; AC diagnosis cited faulty coil requiring $3,000 fix — second opinion found no coil issue. (2 of 100 reviews)

What reviewers praise
“PK Wadsworth is the best. We have used other local services in the past and needed a change because of increased prices. So ask around in our neighborhood and PK name came up with very positive comments. So we gave them a call and have found them to be …”

Wilson Plumbing, Heating, and Electric

We'd call someone else first24/7 per Google listing
4.9 (565 Google reviews)3.2 on Yelp (37) 17.2 mi from downtown Eastlake
Our take — how we form it

4.9★ across 565 reviews but 19 of 100 sampled are 1-star, with recurring complaints about upselling unnecessary services and quotes 2-3x market rate for basic repairs.

Rating mix — of the 15 reviews we analyzed565 total on Google

1★7

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

Why we're cautious

  • Upsell pattern on membership 'free' services: technicians recommending unnecessary products (water softeners, new tanks) during included maintenance visits — cited in 2 separate 1-star reviews. (2 of 100 reviews)
  • Emergency service gated behind 'preferred customer' membership — non-members calling at 5 PM for a failed furnace were not told about the tier restriction until a second callback. (1 of 100 reviews)
  • Surprise fees: 1 review documents a $94 trip charge for a tech who arrived without the part, with a subsequent $882 flat-rate repair bill (themeCounts.surprise_fees=1). (1 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Fast dispatch cited in 12 of 100 analyzed reviews (themeCounts.fast_response=12); AI scheduling rerouted one job from 24-hour queue to 2-hour arrival. (cited in 1 of 100 reviews)
  • Workmanship flagged positively in 11 of 100 reviews; technicians noted for catching code violations missed by prior companies. (cited in 1 of 100 reviews)
  • Sewer line repair praised for team coordination and minimally invasive solution across multiple crew members. (cited in 1 of 100 reviews)
What reviewers praise
“Jacob, Michael and Casey were all Amazing. Jacob checked our furnace and made sure it was safe and running. ($50) Michael came and was the real hero and unclogged both our shower drains. ($1200) Casey drained and checked our hot water tank and gave us an …”
Kris Hojdar · ★★★★★ · Google · Feb 2026
The most critical take we found
“A friendly word of caution to those considering Wilson - their general business model for the healthy home membership appears to be offering 'free' services as part of their package. However, they will often then try to charge/recommend unnecessary …”

What reviewers complain about in Eastlake

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

  • Elie's Plumbing, Sewer & Drain — Verbal quote not honored on arrival — sewer camera inspection quoted $250, techs arrived charging $350 citing outdated price sheet; manager refused to honor original price; workers said it 'happens all the time'
  • Free Flow Plumbing — Property damage dispute: reviewer documents cracked stairs during water heater removal and mud/water trail left uncleaned; Free Flow disputed liability and refused to cover stair replacement
  • WyattWorks Plumbing — Overpricing flagged in a 1-star as 'price gouging', with a water-heater quote roughly double what the customer paid elsewhere
  • WyattWorks Plumbing — A flooded-basement emergency was booked for the morning then delayed 4 days, leaving the customer stranded
  • Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup — Toilet installation charged at $1,500 for a job customer assessed as 'easy' and assisted with — customer called it fraud; tech Bill did not adjust price.
  • Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup — Gas pipe pressure check: 30 minutes of work, no seal found, $250 charged — open gas pipe end left unsealed in basement ceiling discovered 8 months later during unrelated maintenance.
  • The Plumbing Source — Phone staff rudeness documented in 1 negative Yelp review — receptionist described as 'so incredibly rude' during an after-hours call for an elderly parent's plumbing issue.
  • Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup — Surprise billing escalation: quoted $12k-18k for mitigation, billed near $18k to insurance, then reduced to $13k only after adjuster flagged it as excessive — attempted to bill while customer was on vacation

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Eastlake we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 1,171 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.
