"Waking up to your water heater having died is a horrible experience on a Sunday morning. But having Paul and his son come change out my water heater the same day was a absolutely a great experience. Having a contractor show up on time and do exactly what they say they're going to do is unheard of in my experience. I contacted several other plumbers in the area they either couldn't come until later in the week or were way too expensive. I highly recommend Plumb ER should you experience a major plumbing issue."
"We were very very pleased and will use them again. SCE&G had sent this company, as we the water line replacement program for $4.95 per month, so it didn't cost us anything. I highly recommend this program. And we will certainly use Peeples Plumbing for our future plumbing needs."
"I was given so many different prices on rerouting my pipes from a leak. Bill out beat the bigger companies on prices. He did a great job and didn't have to go through my new flooring at all. If your looking for quality work and more affordable then I so recommend Bill to all your plumbing needs."

"Rick and Gary did a great job replacing my old water heater with a tankless one! They were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything.

"We were impressed by the quick response after using Angi.com. The representative came to our house, without charge, and reviewed our bathroom shower leaks, and gave us several options. He didn't pressure us. It was pleasant."
"I hired Cransten to remodel my bathroom. It was getting old and in need of an update. They came in, replaced the floor, built a shower pan, and laid custom tile around my shower. I was impressed with how friendly and professional they were. I would definitely hire them again!"
