The 15 plumbers serving Roebuck, ranked.

For the 19 plumbers working within 20 miles of Roebuck, we read 1,595 public reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB and ranked them like a friend who'd done the research. 13 of the 19 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: 16 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 — 15 of the 19 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 burst pipes.

Updated Jul 11, 202620-mile radius of downtown RoebuckHow 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: 1,310 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 ↓

4.9★ across 260 reviews with 96 of 100 analyzed at 5★; 15-minute burst-pipe response cited in 1 review, fast_response in 12 of 100, and bathroom remodel plumbing praised — but 1 reviewer reports an unresolved vent pipe issue 14 months after service.

Why we're cautious

  • Uncharged repair work left causing new problem: vent pipe missing in wall after technician visit, leading to toilet receding on flush; 14+ months without resolution per 1★ reviewer (1 of 100 reviews)
  • Repair cost not quoted before completion on tankless water heater drain job; post-repair run-around when filter leaked after technician handling per 1★ Yelp reviewer (1 of 100 reviews)

5★9
4★2
3★1
2★0
1★3

Why we're cautious

  • Two 1-star reviews from 2018 report same critical issue: initial repair claimed as 'fixed' but same problem recurred within days. Both customers felt unresponsored and unsupported for follow-up. (2 of 114 reviews)
  • After-hours support unresponsive. One 1-star review states 'after hours help hangs up the phone on you'; another notes late-night call returned next morning only. (2 of 114 reviews)
  • Resistance to emergency follow-up visits for recent failures. Customer with $30k+ account reported company refused same-day technician for AC failure 48 hours after initial service, insisted on 4pm appointment and additional $169 service call charge. (1 of 114 reviews)

To be fair

  • Next-day or same-day emergency availability even when fully booked. Multiple reviewers report scheduling within hours or next day for urgent issues. (cited in 4 of 114 reviews)
  • Consistent on-time arrivals and prompt scheduling. 6 reviewers specifically mention punctuality, on-time arrival, or same-day confirmation calls. (cited in 6 of 114 reviews)
  • High workmanship quality and willingness to solve complex problems. Owner and multiple technicians documented going above and beyond—owner Tyler came out multiple times for difficult water issue, crew stayed full day for permanent fix. (cited in 4 of 114 reviews)

  • 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 (1 of 122 reviews)
  • 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' (2 of 122 reviews)

To be fair

  • Fast response times and punctuality: 7 reviews explicitly mention on-time or early arrival, with one noting arrival within an hour of the service call (cited in 7 of 122 reviews)

  • National call center scheduling failures: Yelp reviewer's 80-year-old mother rescheduled to 3AM slot for a non-working tech — never showed, left without water. (1 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)

Preferred Home Services

We'd call someone else first
4.8 (2,226 Google reviews) 19.2 mi from downtown RoebuckNot a 24/7 shop
Our take — how we form it

Excellent communication and workmanship on planned jobs, but dangerously inconsistent on scheduling and follow-through—skip them for emergency calls where no-shows are unacceptable.

Rating mix — of the 5 reviews we analyzed2,226 total on Google
5★2
4★1
3★0
2★1
1★1

Small sample — we've analyzed only 5 of 2,226 reviews so far. Treat this as a first read.

Why we're cautious

  • Critical responsiveness failure on time-sensitive appointments: 1 of 5 reviews documents complete no-show by scheduled technician with zero communication to customer, directly violating stated appointment and time constraints (1 of 5 reviews)
  • Catastrophic project execution flaw: 1 of 5 reviews reveals rushed drainage work that caused $15k in collateral property damage (yard destruction, standing water) and company's attempted remediation failed, leaving homeowner financially stranded (1 of 5 reviews)
  • Rushed job execution and poor site management: Major drainage project completed hastily, destroyed yard, and created $15k additional liability with standing water and grading damage that homeowner could not afford to fix (1 of 5 reviews)

To be fair

  • Strong communication and professionalism: 3 of 5 reviewers specifically praised clear explanations, courtesy, and respectful service (cited in 3 of 5 reviews)
  • Quality workmanship on large projects: Full-home repipe completed with attention to detail, proper licensing, and materials warranty (cited in 1 of 5 reviews)
  • Fair pricing for complex work: Competitive estimates on major projects and conscious effort to minimize unnecessary drywall damage (cited in 1 of 5 reviews)
What reviewers praise
“Great communication, very professional, friendly and courteous technician. Will definitely us again if we he need arises”

The most critical take we found
“Made an appointment to have my HVAC serviced and a plumbing issue fixed. I made it very clear that I needed them both at once because of time constraints. Appointment was made between 8-10 am. The plumber showed up at 9:30 and left a mess, the HVAC guy didn’t …”

Duckett Plumbing

We'd call someone else first24/7 per Google listing
4.3 (293 Google reviews)1.4 on Yelp (11) 18.4 mi from downtown Roebuck
Our take — how we form it

Fast emergency responder with strong workmanship, but pricing disputes and serious allegations of threatening behavior toward negative reviewers create significant trust concerns.

Rating mix — of the 15 reviews we analyzed293 total on Google
5★5
4★0
3★0
2★2
1★8

Why we're cautious

  • Threats and intimidation toward negative reviewers: 3 reviews from 2024 allege owner Scott threatened legal action ('I'll sue the shit out of you') and refused service if reviews were posted; owner allegedly demanded removal of Square transaction notes before honoring free repair (3 of 94 reviews)
  • Aggressive owner behavior: 2 reviews describe owner as 'extremely rude,' 'confrontational,' refusing to let customers speak, and berating callers for asking questions (2 of 94 reviews)
  • Massive platform discrepancy: Google 4.3/5 (293 reviews) vs. Yelp 1.4/5 (11 reviews)—gap of 2.9 stars. Yelp reviews allege negative-review suppression via threats, BBB rates F with non-accreditation despite company displaying accredited logo (3 of 94 reviews)

To be fair

  • Exceptional emergency response: 6 reviews document same-day service, sub-hour arrival times, and after-hours availability including nights and weekends (cited in 5 of 94 reviews)
  • Skilled technicians: 8+ reviews explicitly praise workmanship quality, problem-solving ability, and going above-and-beyond on repairs (cited in 5 of 94 reviews)
  • Professional demeanor: Multiple reviewers highlight courteous, respectful, and personable technicians (David, Wayne, William in positive reviews, Dante, Kenny) (cited in 4 of 94 reviews)
What reviewers praise
“Highly recommend Duckett Plumbing. David the technician called notifying me he was on his way and arrived on time. Understood the issue I was having and got promptly to work. Was even able to get me a discount since I had the necessary parts and was doing …”
Eric Simmons · ★★★★★ · Google · Oct 2025
The most critical take we found
“We had an outside faucet break. Duckett was first to respond, which was appreciated. “We charge $75 to come out but discount it if you want us to do the job.” Fine. They come out and look at the faucet and pipe and say $500. We needed it done so hesitant but …”

What reviewers complain about in Roebuck

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

  • Superior Plumbing Services — Uncharged repair work left causing new problem: vent pipe missing in wall after technician visit, leading to toilet receding on flush; 14+ months without resolution per 1★ reviewer
  • Superior Plumbing Services — Repair cost not quoted before completion on tankless water heater drain job; post-repair run-around when filter leaked after technician handling per 1★ Yelp reviewer
  • 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
  • Local Plumber and HVAC — Minor vehicle/property concern: 1 review mentions a van driver nearly hitting a customer's 2025 Mustang while backing out—isolated but worth noting for driveway safety
  • Brothers Plumbing, Air & Electric — Two 1-star reviews from 2018 report same critical issue: initial repair claimed as 'fixed' but same problem recurred within days. Both customers felt unresponsored and unsupported for follow-up.
  • Brothers Plumbing, Air & Electric — After-hours support unresponsive. One 1-star review states 'after hours help hangs up the phone on you'; another notes late-night call returned next morning only.
  • Brothers Plumbing, Air & Electric — Resistance to emergency follow-up visits for recent failures. Customer with $30k+ account reported company refused same-day technician for AC failure 48 hours after initial service, insisted on 4pm appointment and additional $169 service call charge.
  • 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

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Roebuck we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 1,310 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.
