The 15 plumbers serving Longview, ranked.

For the 19 plumbers working within 20 miles of Longview, we read 95 public reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB and ranked them like a friend who'd done the research. 10 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 4.8, nobody below 4.0), but the depth behind them varies: 13 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 — 11 of the 19 companies have one — it's flagged below with their exact words. One number worth knowing: Alco Air alone carries 1,724 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 LongviewHow 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: 75 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 ↓

Our take — how we form it

Pither Plumbing holds 4.8 stars from 636 reviews; referred by a competing plumber as the specialist for tankless systems, and diagnosed a fault 3 prior plumbers could not fix, but one reviewer was blindsided by a $450 trip charge after waiting all day.

1★1

Small sample — we've analyzed only 5 of 636 reviews so far. Treat this as a first read.

Why we're cautious

  • Juan Vazquez (1 star) waited all day with no status updates and was charged $450 just to show up for a service area listed on Pither's own website — no advance notice of out-of-area pricing. (1 of 5 reviews)
  • Out-of-area surcharge not disclosed at booking: reviewer waited all day with no updates and was then told a $450 trip fee applied for an area the website claims to serve. (1 of 5 reviews)

To be fair

  • Tankless water heater specialist: another plumber directly referred this job to Pither; crew diagnosed in about 1 hour what 3 prior plumbers could not resolve. (cited in 1 of 5 reviews)
  • Same-day toilet leak fix confirmed; next-morning appointment offered for a non-emergency multi-item list; tech advised against unnecessary upsells on slow faucet leaks. (cited in 2 of 5 reviews)

“Ask for Nick! He's a well mannered young fella and willing to do any job that's big or small! He's going to make sure you're happy with everything before he leaves and that includes any mess that was made during your project. Btw, my gas stove is going strong …”

What reviewers complain about in Longview

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

  • Pither Plumbing — Juan Vazquez (1 star) waited all day with no status updates and was charged $450 just to show up for a service area listed on Pither's own website — no advance notice of out-of-area pricing.
  • C. Woods Company — Daniel Wriggle (1 star) reports forgotten wiring runs, daily re-explanation, and refusal to run AC compressor wiring on a remodel job — pattern risk for complex multi-day installs.
  • Alco Air — Repeated overpricing pattern documented: 1-star reviewer obtained second opinions on 3 separate ALCO estimates, saving $14,000 total; attributes inflated quotes to post-acquisition pricing shift.
  • Alco Air — Workmanship complaints in 3-star review: vents installed with holes, scratches, and debris left on property; dirty work shirts abandoned on-site; no debris hauling capacity.
  • Luca's Plumbing — slow_response noted once; follow-up on yard sprinkler leak required a second call — not addressed in the original same-week water heater visit
  • Pither Plumbing — Out-of-area surcharge not disclosed at booking: reviewer waited all day with no updates and was then told a $450 trip fee applied for an area the website claims to serve.
  • C. Woods Company — Scope management failures cited in the 1-star review: reviewer had to re-explain instructions each day and multiple wiring items were missed until the manager visited for payment.
  • Napps Cooling, Heating & Plumbing — 4 of 5 sampled reviews describe HVAC or ductwork jobs, not plumbing work — thin evidence for plumbing-specific competency.

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Longview we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 75 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.
