Carson Plumbing
Company Overview
In summary, I regret not reaching out to Carson Plumbing sooner!
In 1982, Chuck Carson launched Carson Plumbing. Initially, it operated from his home, with his wonderful wife Penny handling much of the administrative tasks at the kitchen table. Things escalated for Chuck, and he soon found himself hiring staff and buying more trucks and gear as needed. Eventually, the company outgrew the home, prompting Mr. Carson to buy the land where the business currently operates at 259 Wynburn Ave in Athens.
In 1989, a lightning strike caused a fire that destroyed the old wooden building, necessitating the construction of a new facility. The business has continued to thrive from this new site ever since. In February 2008, Chuck Carson transferred ownership of his well-established business to his two sons, Josh and Pete Carson. These new leaders have worked hard to uphold the same honest and respectful relationship with their customers and the community that their father instilled in them. Carson Plumbing is currently managed by Mike McCain, who has been part of the team since 1986.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Recently had a tankless water heater installed. Installation went smoothly and when promised. Total cost was exactly as quoted, no hidden charges. Pete Carson was a pleasure to do business with. He patiently answered all my questions during his initial visit for the estimate and all my emailed questions afterwards.

Good work, but when quoting rates they """"forget"""" to tell you that they charge travel time. It doesn't leave a good feel when you get hit with hidden charges.

I called this company to repair a plumbing problem. This was a big mistake. The first two men came on a Monday afternoon. They looked at the leak and said they would be back the following day to work on it in depth. No one returned the following day (Tuesday). I called that Wednesday to let someone know that no one returned. Two different men came that afternoon and said they had fixed it, This unfortunately was not the case and actually made the problem worse. I called the company yet again and two different men came. These men said that I needed to call my insurance company to file a a claim and I did. Theses two men could not fix the problem either. I called yet again and spoke with the owner. I complained to the owner and he became defensive. This went on for an entire week. Two different men were then sent. These two finally have claimed the leak is fixed. EIGHT different men came to my home. And now, I have an unnecessary claim on my insurance. You have been warned. Avoid this company.

Great service. Polite young men and very professional. Justin was one of the workers but I didn't get the other guy's name. Great job by both though and would use again.

Highly recommend Carson Plumbing! They did a plumbing """"remodel"""" for me--new faucets, shower fixture, powder room cabinet and sink install, toilet makeovers, etc They did a great job, they're super nice, and the price was reasonable.

Not pleased with their response and service. Told me I had an appointment then told me I was a work in. Wasted a day waiting on them to get item fixed. I called another plumber. I will not call them again.

Carson Plumbing came through again. I just had new countertops and sinks installed, so I needed my new faucets and new garbage disposal installed. I've been calling on Carson Plumbing since I moved to Athens three years ago, and they're outstanding to do business with. From Pete Carson at the top, to Jessica in the office, and to Dwayne and Bo, our actual plumbers, they're all extremely pleasant and professional. But above all else, the plumbing work is excellent, and they stand behind their work. Their pricing is always fair and reasonable. I """"might"""" be able to pay less with a handyman, but I have peace of mind knowing Carson Plumbing does it right and is there when I need them. Thanks Pete and Company, Mark M

My """"new-to-me"""" home has had several plumbing issues. Each time I contacted Carson Plumbing, competent workers have arrived in a timely manner, explained everything to me, answered my endless questions and completed only what was required to fix the issue. Thank you!

We did not want to rave about our great experience until we got the bill. Well the bill came last week and the charges were very reasonable! these are the best plumbers we have used in a long time. Two other plumbers before them would not even go under the house. They would just stand in the bathroom and tell us we had no leaks. Well we did have leaks. 3 of them. And Mike and Tim of Carson fixed them. And did lots of other repairs. They were hard working, competent and good communicators. They got a lot accomplished in 3.5 hours. And the charges were $550. Not bad. Great work. Thanks guys!!! If you want to get your plumbing job done right the first time definitely call these guys.
