FastPlumber near me

The 15 plumbers serving Arlington, ranked.

We track 60 plumbing companies working within 20 miles of Arlington and have read 4,510 of their reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB — including every one-star review we could find. 41 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.

Arlington'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. 56 of these companies carry 100+ reviews — enough history for real patterns to show. The patterns differ more than the ratings do: 47 of the 60 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: Mansfield Plumbing, Electric, Heating & Air alone carries 3,329 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 ArlingtonHow 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: 1,266 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 ↓

Why we're cautious

  • Two separate reviews describe overpricing or material selection issues on significant jobs. One estimate was $3,000+ for what competitor fixed for $450; another involved wrong pipe type recommendation that caused years of recurring problems. (2 of 98 reviews)
  • Inconsistent quality on complex diagnostics. One customer received a $3,000+ estimate for sewer issue that competitor diagnosed as minor $450 repair; customer claims Ernie's used wrong materials and refused to provide video scan evidence. (1 of 98 reviews)
  • Substandard repair methodology led to recurring winter leaks. Customer had burst pipe repaired with PVC per technician recommendation, but pipe failed the following winter and has leaked every winter since; second visit charged $200 just to inspect attic. (1 of 98 reviews)

To be fair

  • Exceptional responsiveness to emergency calls and same-day/next-day service. Multiple reviews praise quick arrival and rapid problem resolution (one leak found in 10 mins, another backup cleared in 25 mins). (cited in 2 of 98 reviews)
  • Technicians consistently explain work clearly and educate customers on options. Named technicians (Greg, Anthony, Robert, Randy, Scott) receive repeated praise for professionalism and thorough explanations. (cited in 4 of 98 reviews)
  • Handles major jobs professionally with strong cleanup and follow-through. 115 ft sewer line replacement with proper excavation and foundation hanging received detailed positive review; major leak repairs completed correctly on second attempt. (cited in 2 of 98 reviews)
What reviewers praise
“Feb. 27, 2026 EDIT Thank you Ernie for responding very quickly to my review and graciously offering to make things right. Someone was indeed sent out the very next day after we called to schedule. The entire process was very pleasant, from our scheduler to …”

The most critical take we found

What reviewers complain about in Arlington

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 Arlington we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 1,266 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. Read the full policy — including what we do not do — on our methodology page.
