The 15 plumbers serving Parryville, ranked.

We read 1,551 reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB for the 30 plumbers serving Parryville — including the one-star reviews other directories bury — and ranked them the way we'd rank them for a friend. 15 of the 30 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.

Parryville's problem isn't finding a plumber; it's telling them apart — the median rating here is 4.8, and when everyone has five stars, the stars stop helping. 15 of these companies carry 100+ reviews — enough history for real patterns to show. The patterns differ more than the ratings do: 23 of the 30 have a repeated complaint pattern in their reviews — quotes that grew mid-job, unreturned callbacks — flagged and quoted on their cards below. One number worth knowing: Schuler Service, Inc. alone carries 3,609 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 ParryvilleHow 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: 1,183 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

  • 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)

Why we're cautious

  • High-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 (1 of 100 reviews)
  • Office manager rudeness escalated: after a billing dispute, the manager told a customer she no longer wanted their business, then contacted their spouse unsolicited (2 of 100 reviews)
  • Scheduling breakdowns in 2 of 100 reviews — one appointment was cancelled day-before after being confirmed, rescheduled weeks out (1 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Workmanship praised in 15 of 100 analyzed reviews; multi-year service contract customers report consistently top-quality HVAC, plumbing, and boiler work (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)

Our take — how we form it

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.

Why we're cautious

  • Phone system appears intermittently unreachable — 1 reviewer failed to reach anyone across multiple numbers over two days; with only 47 reviews, even 1 such incident is a reliability signal (1 of 45 reviews)
  • Maintenance plan honored poorly: one reviewer waited on hold for two days across every phone number, made an online appointment, received confirmation, then was never shown up for (1 of 45 reviews)
  • 1 of 45 analyzed reviews flags outrageous pricing for incomplete work — plumber insisted a new sink couldn't be installed and drain remained clogged after the visit (1 of 45 reviews)

To be fair

  • After-hours emergency dispatch in under 20 minutes documented: plumber arrived within 20 min of call on 4th-of-July eve per 1 review (cited in 1 of 45 reviews)

  • Phone quote bait-and-switch: $89 advertised, $202 charged on-site for simple radiator bleeding (Lexi Sutton). (1 of 96 reviews)

To be fair

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) 1.8 mi from downtown Parryville
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 complain about in Parryville

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 Plumbing — Coupon/pricing dispute: 1-star reviewer reports being told coupon was valid by phone, then denied by technician on arrival — alleged deceptive practice
  • Elek Plumbing — No-callback incident: 1-star review reports zero response over 2+ days after leaving message for an urgent well pump failure
  • Schuler Service, Inc. — surprise_fees=3 in 100 reviews: 1 reviewer reports elderly mother charged $179 for verbal estimate with no paperwork; another claims 2-4x industry standard rates with no itemized bill until days later.

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Parryville we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 1,183 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. Read the full policy — including what we do not do — on our methodology page.
