The 15 plumbers serving Murrells Inlet, ranked.

For the 16 plumbers working within 20 miles of Murrells Inlet, we read 80 public reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB and ranked them like a friend who'd done the research. 11 of the 16 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: 11 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 — 4 of the 16 companies have one — it's flagged below with their exact words. One number worth knowing: Vines Heating & Air, Plumbing, Restoration alone carries 3,582 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 Murrells InletHow 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: 75 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 ↓

Vines Heating & Air, Plumbing, Restoration

Top pick24/7 per Google listing
4.9 (3,582 Google reviews) 15.5 mi from downtown Murrells Inlet
Our take — how we form it

Vines Heating, Air, Plumbing & Restoration holds 4.9★ on 3,582 Google reviews — largest volume in the Myrtle Beach batch; all 5 sampled are positive but 1 of 5 flags an undisclosed $236 upcharge on a hydro-irrigation add-on.

Rating mix — of the 5 reviews we analyzed3,582 total on Google
5★4
4★1
3★0
2★0
1★0

Small sample — we've analyzed only 5 of 3,582 reviews so far. Treat this as a first read.

Why we're cautious

  • Undisclosed cost variance on add-on service: quoted $600, charged $836 — no itemized bill provided at signing. Small sample (1 of 5) but pattern warrants caution given company scale. (1 of 5 reviews)
  • One reviewer reports being told verbally a hydro-irrigation add-on would cost $600, then charged $836 — signed on a phone 'signature page' without seeing an itemized bill (themeCounts.expensive=1). (1 of 5 reviews)

To be fair

  • Water-heater installation executed with thorough patient explanation; technicians spent time walking customer through options before starting demo (themeCounts.professional=3). (cited in 2 of 5 reviews)
  • Weekend emergency parts expedited: Freon-leak repair parts arrived and installed on a weekend despite manufacturer shipping delays — office called proactively with update. (cited in 1 of 5 reviews)
  • Water-leak repair minimized demolition; tech took time for customer to decide between full repipe and spot repair before proceeding — no pressure sales tactic. (cited in 1 of 5 reviews)
What reviewers praise
“Vines did an excellent job helping us to locate and fix a water leak issue at our house. They were proactive with confirming appointment times and gave plenty of notice when technicians were on the way. Their communication with us was excellent. They went …”

Why we're cautious

  • Pricing disputes may lead to lost customer loyalty; single detailed pricing complaint resulted in customer refusal to recommend and stated intention not to return despite otherwise positive service quality (1 of 5 reviews)

What reviewers complain about in Murrells Inlet

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

  • Vines Heating & Air, Plumbing, Restoration — Undisclosed cost variance on add-on service: quoted $600, charged $836 — no itemized bill provided at signing. Small sample (1 of 5) but pattern warrants caution given company scale.
  • Four Star Plumbing and Air Conditioning — Pricing disputes may lead to lost customer loyalty; single detailed pricing complaint resulted in customer refusal to recommend and stated intention not to return despite otherwise positive service quality
  • Mia's Master Plumbing — Reviewer alleges $150 collected and plumber disappeared without completing work; called operation a scam
  • Mia's Master Plumbing — Reviewer alleges installer substituted a generic filter instead of the brand-name unit paid for, then stopped responding to requests for documentation
  • Craig Causey Plumbing LLC — Selective job acceptance: 1 of 5 reviews alleges the company deprioritizes smaller jobs, with customer implying work under ~$1000 may be ignored
  • Vines Heating & Air, Plumbing, Restoration — One reviewer reports being told verbally a hydro-irrigation add-on would cost $600, then charged $836 — signed on a phone 'signature page' without seeing an itemized bill (themeCounts.expensive=1).
  • Four Star Plumbing and Air Conditioning — Significant pricing concerns on specialty work; one reviewer charged $900 for 2 hours of thermostat wire installation (10-15 feet), found pricing excessive compared to $300-400 estimate, and even after $125 refund felt overcharged at $775
  • Mia's Master Plumbing — 2 of 5 analyzed reviews are negative; sentiment split is 60% positive / 40% negative — atypically low for a 4.9-star listing

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Murrells Inlet we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 75 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.
