FastPlumber near me

The 15 plumbers serving Hendersonville, ranked.

We track 40 plumbing companies working within 20 miles of Hendersonville and have read 1,632 of their reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB — including every one-star review we could find. 31 answer 24/7 per their Google listings; where reviewers describe real middle-of-the-night calls, that evidence is quoted on the cards below. Rankings are not for sale.

Hendersonville'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. 27 of these companies carry 100+ reviews — enough history for real patterns to show. The patterns differ more than the ratings do: 21 of the 40 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: only one company in this radius — A-1 Brown Plumbing Repair — sits below 4.0 (3.9). Across the reviews we analyzed, the work named most often is water heaters and drain clearing.

Updated Jul 11, 202620-mile radius of downtown HendersonvilleHow 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: 1,293 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 ↓

Mr. Rooter Plumbing of South Nashville

Top pick24/7 per Google listing
4.9 (511 Google reviews)5.0 on Yelp (2) 18.6 mi from downtown Hendersonville
Our take — how we form it

97 of 100 analyzed reviews are 5★ (0.96 consistency); honest techs who walked away with no charge when a clog resolved itself.

5★13
4★1

1★1

Why we're cautious

  • Over-diagnosis flagged once: $1,000+ full valve replacement quoted for a shower leak fixed by simply tightening the cartridge (1 of 100 reviews)
  • One reviewer reports a tech recommended a $1,000+ valve replacement without inspecting the cartridge; a second opinion fixed it by tightening the existing one (1 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Honest pricing — Sandro found the blockage had cleared and charged nothing because he 'didn't do anything' (cited in 1 of 100 reviews)
  • Professionalism cited in 42 of 100 reviews; repeat customers request specific techs (Robert, Drazon) by name (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)
  • Clear step-by-step communication on pricing and solutions (2 communication mentions) (cited in 1 of 100 reviews)
What reviewers praise
“Great experience. Highly recommended.”

Smooth Saling Plumbing & Water Heater Replacement

5.0 (304 Google reviews)4.1 on Yelp (78) 9.6 mi from downtown Hendersonville
Our take — how we form it

86 of 100 5-star (consistency 0.69); reviewers cite honesty that saved $500+ on a water heater, but 8 are 1-star including a no-show on the coldest day of the year.

1★6

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

Why we're cautious

  • No-show on the coldest day of the year — a 12-3pm heat-repair window missed with no phone answer heading into Christmas Eve (1 of 100 reviews)
  • Pricing not always low — a 3-star reviewer paid $475 for ~2 hours to swap a couple of pipes, calling it pricey (1 of 100 reviews)
  • Dispatcher rudeness reported, though a manager later apologized (1 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Honest pricing that undercuts competitors — beat another water-heater quote by $500+ and declined unnecessary electrical work (cited in 1 of 100 reviews)
  • Stands behind work and absorbs costs — re-repaired a second water-main leak at no charge (cited in 1 of 100 reviews)
What reviewers praise
“Saved me $500+ and didn't try to upsell me! I cannot recommend Morton's Plumbing enough. I needed an emergency water heater replacement in a crawlspace and another company quoted me a massive price. Morton's came out, beat that quote by over $500, and did a …”

  • Pricing-gouging pattern: thermostat billed at $581 vs $67-100 retail, manager defended it as overhead (1 of 100 reviews)

  • Disputed gas-leak inspection: charged $450, said no leak, but a second company found and fixed the leak (1 of 100 reviews)

  • Overpricing pattern: ~$750 garbage disposal replacement and a $1300+$2000 fridge-waterline quote called a scam by reviewers (2 of 100 reviews)
  • Advertised 24/7 service failed in an emergency — Christmas Day flooding couldn't be serviced until Tuesday, with a possible diagnostic fee (1 of 100 reviews)
  • Repeated pricing complaints: ~$750 for a garbage disposal swap and a $1300/$2000 quote for a fridge waterline a reviewer estimated at under $300 (2 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Techs like Nick and Max praised for same-day work done right the first time and clear explanations (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)

Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup

We'd call someone else first24/7 per Google listing
4.7 (787 Google reviews)2.7 on Yelp (70) 10.0 mi from downtown Hendersonville
Our take — how we form it

4.7★ over 787 reviews but 28 of 100 analyzed are 1★; fast arrivals undercut by surprise fees, no-shows, and a $4,000 over-scoped mitigation job.

1★7

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

Why we're cautious

  • Insurance company horrified that an over-scoped water mitigation cost upwards of $4,000, ripping out drywall and vanity insisting on mold (1 of 100 reviews)
  • Quoted $300, then called back to raise the price, and a tech spent more time flirting than fixing — second person sent (28 of 100 reviews are 1★) (2 of 100 reviews)
  • Surprise fees and over-scoping — one mitigation job ballooned to ~$4,000 with unnecessary drywall and vanity demolition (2 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Very fast dispatch — coordinated a tech within an hour for a leaking water heater and got customers to the cheapest fix (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)
  • Free diagnostics with honest, money-saving advice noted by one customer who got DIY tips and a service warranty (cited in 1 of 100 reviews)
  • Sump pump and battery-backup installs done with thorough walkthroughs (cited in 1 of 100 reviews)
What reviewers praise
“Woke up to find no hot water - ok, go check the heater and now we have a big problem - there's a steady stream of water pouring out of the upper heating element. I turn off the breaker, turn off the water valve into the heater, call Roto Rooter as they were …”

The most critical take we found
“Quoted me one price $300, then called me back to say it would be more money. and I could choose to have the problem partially addressed. I greed to pay more money, turns out the guy spent more time flirting with my tenants than fixing the problem. They had …”

What reviewers complain about in Hendersonville

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

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Hendersonville we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 1,293 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.
