The 15 24/7 plumbers serving Bath

These 15 plumbers list 24/7 hours on their Google profiles — a claim they publish, not something we tested. We read 1,200 of their reviews for what actually happens after hours: where reviewers describe a real 2 a.m. call, that evidence is quoted below; where no review mentions after-hours response either way, the card says that too. Rankings are not for sale.

Updated Jul 11, 202620-mile radius of downtown BathHow 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: 1,200 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 ↓

Before you call anyone: shut off your main water valve. Then start at the top — every card is one tap to call. Not urgent? See all ranked plumbers in Bath →

Elek Plumbing scores 4.9★ across 1,073 reviews with 84 of 100 analyzed rated 5-star; fast_response cited in 21 reviews and same-day service confirmed in 11, but 12 one-star reviews flag pricing transparency issues.

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

Why we're cautious

  • Coupon/pricing dispute: 1-star reviewer reports being told coupon was valid by phone, then denied by technician on arrival — alleged deceptive practice (1 of 100 reviews)
  • No-callback incident: 1-star review reports zero response over 2+ days after leaving message for an urgent well pump failure (1 of 100 reviews)
  • Flat-rate pricing quoted on-site without upfront phone estimates; 1-star reviewer reports $300+ quote for a 30-40 minute job plus a $69 truck-roll fee (2 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Same-day arrival confirmed in 11 reviews; multiple accounts of techs on-site within 1-2 hours even on holiday and weekend calls (cited in 3 of 100 reviews)
  • Workmanship praised in 18 reviews, with technicians solving complex jobs (blocked sewer on Christmas Eve, difficult clog clearance) others would have abandoned (cited in 3 of 100 reviews)

Benjamin Franklin Plumbing (Bethlehem) scores 4.8 on 47 Google reviews; 41 of 45 analyzed are 5-star. After-hours dispatch under 20 minutes is documented, but a maintenance-plan no-show complaint raises reliability questions.

Deluxe Plumbing & Heating

We'd call someone else first24/7 per Google listing
4.7 (505 Google reviews)2.6 on Yelp (19) 5.9 mi from downtown Bath

Lists 24-hour service on its Google profile — and reviewers describe after-hours calls.

Our take — how we form it

4.7★ across 505 reviews with 68/98 sampled as 5-star, but 9 expense complaints and recurring surprise-fee pattern drag down an otherwise strong workmanship record.

1★7

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 …”

Andreas Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning

We'd call someone else first24/7 per Google listing
4.9 (2,036 Google reviews)2.0 on Yelp (39) 15.3 mi from downtown Bath

Lists 24-hour service on its Google profile — and reviewers describe after-hours calls.

Our take — how we form it

Bipolar reputation — 64 of 100 recent ratings are 5-star but 30 are 1-star. Multiple complaints describe an $85 estimate fee, sticker-shock quotes (one $21k boiler swap, one $15k AC), and a 4-winter pattern of no-heat callbacks after a $15,000 install.

Rating mix — of the 15 reviews we analyzed2,036 total on Google
5★7
4★0
3★0
2★1
1★7

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

Why we're cautious

  • Sticker-shock quoting pattern — multiple reviews cite quotes thousands of dollars above what other plumbers charged for the same scope (2 of 100 reviews)
  • Surprise-fee pattern documented — $85 trip charge plus high parts markup on small jobs (1 of 100 reviews)
  • Post-install support gap — one customer alleges 4 winters of return visits with different excuses each time after a $15,000 install (1 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Tech Mathew is repeatedly singled out for informative, professional service with clear explanations (cited in 1 of 100 reviews)
  • Tech Ethan and Matt set very clear expectations on timeline and cost before starting any work on a leak repair (cited in 1 of 100 reviews)
  • Tech Alex worked relentlessly to repair a baseboard heater that burst from cold and got the boiler running before leaving (cited in 1 of 100 reviews)
What reviewers praise
“Good afternoon the technician Mathew Muthard did some work on my house he was very very informative he had a nice attitude very professional. I recommend him to everyone. he explained everything so well. GOOD WORK Mathew my husband and I are happy we …”

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Bath we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 1,200 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.
