The 15 plumbers serving Landrum, ranked.

For the 17 plumbers working within 20 miles of Landrum, we read 1,468 public reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB and ranked them like a friend who'd done the research. 13 of the 17 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: 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: Waldrop Plumbing - Heating - Air alone carries 7,504 Google reviews — the deepest review base in this radius. Across the reviews we analyzed, the work named most often is water heaters and drain clearing.

Updated Jul 11, 202620-mile radius of downtown LandrumHow 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: 1,275 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 ↓

Jay and Marty show up fast even at 9:45pm after 14-hour shifts and nail water heater jobs, but one bathroom remodel went sideways with no-shows and leaking pipes.

Why we're cautious

  • Destructive workaround in same remodel: Same review alleges Marty cut (rather than saved) a customer-purchased drainage part without clear consent, making it non-returnable. (1 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Exceptional after-hours responsiveness: Multiple reviewers praise same-day or late-night service, with Jay working past 9:45pm on warranty calls and completing repairs despite being near end of 14-hour shifts. (cited in 3 of 100 reviews)
  • Strong on water heater jobs: 8+ reviews specifically praise water heater installations and repairs, with detailed mentions of code-compliant work, clean copper lines, and quick turnaround even right before holidays. (cited in 4 of 100 reviews)

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

Why we're cautious

  • Work quality incidents: One 1-star review reports technician's repair created new problem (toilet overflowed after shutoff valve work was performed) (1 of 122 reviews)
  • Significantly higher pricing than competitors: 5 reviews document quotes 2-4x above other plumbers for identical work (water heater replacement $5,000 vs $2,000; tankless heater $8,000 vs $4,000; leak repair $1,500 vs $300) (4 of 122 reviews)

To be fair

  • Fast emergency response: Multiple reviewers cite same-day or next-day service for urgent issues like water leaks and burst pipes (cited in 3 of 122 reviews)

  • Repeated overcharging complaints: $4,200 for a sink leak with a $7 part billed at $1,700, and a $7,324 furnace quote a customer matched elsewhere for $1,800–$3,000 (2 of 100 reviews)
  • A senior customer alleges the owner hung up on her plumber and gaslit her after a disputed bill — pattern of post-sale conflict (2 of 100 reviews)
  • expensive theme appears 6 times; multiple reviewers say a great first visit was followed by aggressive upsells or disputed bills (2 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Weekend and emergency turnaround praised — pipe burst on a Sunday and a Saturday-evening call-out both got same-day fixes (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)
  • Several techs (Brian, Marion) flagged problems honestly — one told a customer how to self-fix and didn't charge, saving them $400 (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)
What reviewers praise
“The guy Brian came out and told us what the problem was and he didn't charge us and even told me how to fix it and I am pretty good at home fixes so I fixed myself. He saved me $400 for them to fix it. That is great service and if I do need them again I'll …”

“Beware - plumbers rarely come to your home. They send techs who just name their price. Shady deal - if I call a plumber I want a licensed experience plumber. JS”

Why we're cautious

  • Charged $327 for a shower handle fix and $170 for a 5-minute garbage disposal unclog; reviewer describes it as taking advantage of a senior citizen (Yelp, Sep 2019). (1 of 100 reviews)
  • surprise_fees=1 in 100 analyzed; water heater drip quoted at $1,500 by Waldrop; competitor fixed it for a couple hundred dollars (Yelp, Jun 2025). (1 of 100 reviews)

What reviewers complain about in Landrum

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

  • KT Plumbing — Two no-show/unresponsive incidents on record: 1 review (2020) reports a dozen unanswered calls and no-show appointment; 1 review (2019) reports failure to follow up after initial consultation and missing scheduled Monday appointment
  • Above All Plumbing — Bathroom remodel follow-up failures: One 1-star review reports Marty scheduled and no-showed twice for fixture installation after initial tub work, then customer discovered leaking pipes in walls that required remediation by another plumber.
  • Above All Plumbing — Destructive workaround in same remodel: Same review alleges Marty cut (rather than saved) a customer-purchased drainage part without clear consent, making it non-returnable.
  • Chisholm Plumbing, AC & Furnace Repair — Repeated service failures: 1 review reports 4 separate visits with unresolved issues, warranty disputes, and refusal to continue service at that address
  • Chisholm Plumbing, AC & Furnace Repair — Unauthorized photography/recording: 1 review alleges technicians took photos, video, and recordings of the home without consent and despite explicit requests not to do so
  • Chisholm Plumbing, AC & Furnace Repair — Potential aggressive upselling on HVAC: 2 recent reviews (June–July 2025) express concern that Chisholm recommends expensive repairs or replacements rather than minor fixes, with one customer stating 'either did not know what they were doing or were trying to take us to the cleaners'
  • Staggs Plumbing Co — 2 of 26 reviews (8%) report significant service failures including multi-day response time, extended job duration, and poor communication—contradicts otherwise stellar responsiveness pattern and suggests inconsistent dispatch/management
  • Ethical Plumbing — Serious brand-promise contradiction: Company markets itself as 'ethical' but 5 separate reviews call out pricing as deceptive or exploitative, with one reviewer noting the work actually worsened their issue after a $1,554 quote

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Landrum we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 1,275 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.
