The 15 plumbers serving College Grove, ranked.

We read 1,876 reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB for the 30 plumbers serving College Grove — including the one-star reviews other directories bury — and ranked them the way we'd rank them for a friend. 24 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.

College Grove's problem isn't finding a plumber; it's telling them apart — the median rating here is 4.9, and when everyone has five stars, the stars stop helping. 21 of these companies carry 100+ reviews — enough history for real patterns to show. The patterns differ more than the ratings do: 17 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: Hiller Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical alone carries 3,787 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.

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: 1,200 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 ↓

  • Yelp ratings 2.8/5 vs. Google 4.9/5 indicates significant discrepancy—Yelp reviews contain repeated pricing complaints, incomplete work, and ethical concerns absent from Google's high ratings, suggesting potential rating bias (3 of 180 reviews)

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

Why we're cautious

  • 35 of 100 analyzed reviews are 1-star — far higher negative rate than other Franklin plumbers in this dataset. (3 of 100 reviews)
  • Maintenance-plan members report 6-12+ week waits for service they pre-paid for, with 2-hour appointment windows routinely blown by 4-5 hours. (1 of 100 reviews)
  • Pattern of fear-based upselling on costly add-ons noted in multiple negative reviews. (1 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Electrician Joseph Richey is named for handling 70-year-old house wiring; HVAC tech Caleb followed through on a unit install with on-time arrival. (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)
  • Yelp customer Edmund K. got a Sunday HVAC service call response with a next-day system replacement install. (cited in 1 of 100 reviews)

The most critical take we found
Such a joke - you ask them to wear shoe covers in your home and sure they place them on then walk outside in and out. WHAT IS THE POINT?? They have come repair a leak in my home. Months later from the work they did, another leak. Then they repair that one …

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving College Grove we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 1,200 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.
