The 10 plumbers serving Krum, ranked.

For the 10 plumbers working within 20 miles of Krum, we read 192 public reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB and ranked them like a friend who'd done the research. The number that matters most here: only 4 of the 10 list 24-hour service — if it's the middle of the night, start with those. Rankings are not for sale.

Ratings run high here (median 4.8, nobody below 4.0), but the depth behind them varies: 8 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 — 5 of the 10 companies have one — it's flagged below with their exact words. One number worth knowing: CR Plumbing, Air & Electric alone carries 949 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.

Updated Jul 11, 202620-mile radius of downtown KrumHow 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: 192 reviews across 10 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 ↓

How we rank the plumbers on this page

We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Krum we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 192 reviews across 10 businesses.
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.
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.
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.
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.
