The 15 plumbers serving Clemson, ranked.

For the 18 plumbers working within 20 miles of Clemson, we read 184 public reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB and ranked them like a friend who'd done the research. 10 of the 18 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, 1 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 — 10 of the 18 companies have one — it's flagged below with their exact words. One number worth knowing: only one company in this radius — Beckwith Plumbing of Clemson — sits below 4.0 (3.7). Across the reviews we analyzed, the work named most often is water heaters and drain clearing.

Updated Jul 11, 202620-mile radius of downtown ClemsonHow 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: 170 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 take — how we form it

4.9 stars on 2,628 Google reviews with BBB A+ accreditation; 84% of 100 analyzed reviews are 5-star but 12 are 1-star — pricing complaints surface in 5 Yelp reviews including a $10,000 heater upsell and a $2,000+ four-hour bill.

Rating mix — of the 15 reviews we analyzed2,628 total on Google
5★6
4★0
3★0
2★1
1★8

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

Why we're cautious

  • Repeated pricing complaints across Yelp reviews: one tech suspected of working on commission, recommending expensive replacements ($10k+) where competitors quoted $1,500; another left reviewer feeling "totally scammed" at $2,000+ for 4 hours of work (3 of 100 reviews)
  • Pricing flagged as expensive in 5 reviews: commission-driven upsells suspected, HVAC quote of $10,000 vs. $1,500 competitor estimate, $382/fan ceiling fan install (4 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Live dispatcher at 3:30 AM answered a flooded-kitchen call and had a tech on-site by 8:15 AM — confirmed after-hours phone coverage (cited in 1 of 100 reviews)
  • Multi-trade coverage (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) with 2,628 Google reviews — technicians named as knowledgeable and thorough across workmanship=20 theme mentions (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)

Mr. Rooter of Anderson SC (4.7★, 663 reviews) — fixed a water heater leak on Black Friday within hours of calling; 1 of 5 analyzed reviews is 2-star citing a septic pump quote $120 above market rate for a pre-dug, lid-removed tank.

Small sample — we've analyzed only 5 of 663 reviews so far. Treat this as a first read.

Why we're cautious

  • Septic upcharge documented: $500 quoted with justification "it was really full" — this rationale is contradicted by the standard reason customers call for septic pumping, and the job required zero prep work from the tech. (1 of 5 reviews)
  • Septic pump quoted at $500 for a fully pre-exposed tank (no digging, no lid removal required) — a comparable job cost $380 with a competitor just days before. (1 of 5 reviews)

To be fair

  • Black Friday water heater leak diagnosed and parts sourced within hours of the call — tech Justin completed the fix the same day when other plumbers wouldn't come out. (cited in 1 of 5 reviews)
  • Saturday morning call for a broken water heater resolved by 11:30am same day; tech described as informative and made the experience "top tier." (cited in 1 of 5 reviews)

Why we're cautious

  • Deposit retention and non-refund: Reviewer reports $2000 deposit cashed and kept since April 18, promised refund on April 20 but as of May 29 (41 days later) money not returned, company stopped responding to refund requests. Complaint filed with South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs. (1 of 5 reviews)
  • Dishonest diagnostic practices: Same reviewer reports Young Plumbing used 'fear tactics' and 'high pressure to commit,' claimed leak was farther up the line when independent plumber immediately located and repaired the exact spot Young said was not cracked. (1 of 5 reviews)
  • Documentation and transparency failures: Reviewer never received copy of iPad-signed quote and had to call multiple times to understand what the $5400 quoted price actually covered. (1 of 5 reviews)

To be fair

  • Exceptional workmanship: 3 of 5 reviews highlight thorough problem-solving, multi-day complex jobs, and solving long-standing issues (one reviewer's 13-year-old problem resolved). (cited in 3 of 5 reviews)
  • On-time arrival and fast responsiveness: 3 of 5 reviews specifically mention timely arrivals and quick scheduling, including same-day opportunities. (cited in 2 of 5 reviews)
  • Clear communication and customer education: 3 of 5 reviews praise thorough explanations without rushing and transparent problem assessment. (cited in 3 of 5 reviews)

  • 1 of 5 reviews describes pricing practices as dishonest with a 160% quote increase; customer resolved issue with competitor at lower cost. (1 of 5 reviews)
  • Significant price escalation mid-job: one customer quoted $500 over phone, bill jumped to $1300 on-site despite pre-disclosed tank fullness. (1 of 5 reviews)

1★3

Small sample — we've analyzed only 5 of 17 reviews so far. Treat this as a first read.

Why we're cautious

  • No-show for a scheduled estimate appointment, then mailed a $92.50 invoice for the non-visit — reported by 1 reviewer (1 of 5 reviews)
  • Same faucet leak required 3 service calls over weeks and was never resolved — customer disputes second bill; leak worsened to a continuous drip (1 of 5 reviews)
  • Billing opacity in 2 of 5 reviews: $120 labor charged for 30-min job quoted at $85/hr; drive time from shop billed at $95/hr adding ~$190 to a 40-min job (2 of 5 reviews)

To be fair

  • Adequate for basic toilet repairs and straightforward jobs per 1 long-term loyal customer who notes decades of dependable service for simple plumbing (cited in 1 of 5 reviews)
What reviewers praise
“Always dependable, altho I've realized they stick to the basic plumbing problems. If you need someone to install a shower system with 6 heads, you'll need to call Young, AND I wish Beckwith would join everyone else in this century and take debit cards, but …”

The most critical take we found
“I had a pin hole leak in a copper pipe. I called and asked for a quote ahead of time and they told me the price would be $85/hr + materials. Two men came to my house and fixed the leak in 30 minutes. I then received a bill in the mail for $120 labor, $5 trip …”

What reviewers complain about in Clemson

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

  • Dipple Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, Electrical — Repeated pricing complaints across Yelp reviews: one tech suspected of working on commission, recommending expensive replacements ($10k+) where competitors quoted $1,500; another left reviewer feeling "totally scammed" at $2,000+ for 4 hours of work
  • Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Drain Service — Documented case of incomplete leak repair over multiple weeks leading to black mold growth in stairwell drywall; reviewer filed this within the 5 analyzed reviews.
  • Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Anderson, SC — Septic upcharge documented: $500 quoted with justification "it was really full" — this rationale is contradicted by the standard reason customers call for septic pumping, and the job required zero prep work from the tech.
  • Young Plumbing Services — Deposit retention and non-refund: Reviewer reports $2000 deposit cashed and kept since April 18, promised refund on April 20 but as of May 29 (41 days later) money not returned, company stopped responding to refund requests. Complaint filed with South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs.
  • Young Plumbing Services — Dishonest diagnostic practices: Same reviewer reports Young Plumbing used 'fear tactics' and 'high pressure to commit,' claimed leak was farther up the line when independent plumber immediately located and repaired the exact spot Young said was not cracked.
  • Young Plumbing Services — Documentation and transparency failures: Reviewer never received copy of iPad-signed quote and had to call multiple times to understand what the $5400 quoted price actually covered.
  • Clean Flo Sewer and Septic — 1 of 5 reviews describes pricing practices as dishonest with a 160% quote increase; customer resolved issue with competitor at lower cost.
  • 1-Tom-Plumber — Critical pricing concern: dimension score of 0 on fairness contradicts glowing reviews, indicating possible hidden cost issues, surprise charges, or billing complaints in full dataset not represented in these 5 samples

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Clemson we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 170 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.
