Scott Plumbing

I found Scott Plumbing on January 5 at 4:45pm thanks to a very high water bill and Yelp's solid recommendations. A quick call to Scott Plumbing just before closing and I had an 8:30am appointment for next day service. Not a problem...I wasn't gushing water, and given the recent single digit temperatures I figured it might be a few days. Their communications are stellar. I received a text an hour before my appointment: Hi, your technician Jeff E. (Rating 4.9/5) from Scott Plumbing, LLC is on the way to 113 Corwin Drive, Harvest, AL 35749 USA. Jeff is native to the Cullman area and has been in the Madison County area since 2018. Jeff has four daughters, is a die-hard football fan, spends his free time coaching softball for his girls, and plays in an adult softball league. Jeff has been in the plumbing industry since 2018 and has been with Scott Plumbing since 2019 and is now one of our managers. Jeff likes a challenge and plumbing tasks that make him think about how things come together. Track now: (link). Call our office for any questions: (256) 701-6181 Jeff and Daniel arrived just before the 8:30am appointment time. They quickly surveyed my problem, gave me a verbal quote, and started work on a handshake. I had calculated how much time I thought it would take me to do the repair, and considered how much I make an hour... And I had in my mind the budget for the project. It would've likely been a five hour project for me, with two trips to Lowe's. I'm an electrical guy...not a water guy. Their estimate was a little higher than my budget, but they were here...ready...and my family of five loves using water (I would hear about a five hour outage unless it was at 2AM-7AM). A little more than an hour later my leak was history. No trips to the store--they had what they needed and they worked fast. The cutoff to my home (30 years old) had deteriorated and was watering my dormant lawn on the side of the house that nobody travels in the winter. They dug it up by hand, siphoned water, replaced it with a new/improved shutoff, replaced a small section of the pipe with it, and added a new housing. The only tip that I have--I should've asked them about veterans discount or explored their website for some of their coupons. Their website is well done, and looking at it before service would've possibly saved enough to put them within my budget, but I'm not complaining. I did take one star away from five because I prefer a straight forward cost model and not one that expects negotiation or investigation for coupons. Excellent service, and honorable skill-trade profession. I will keep Scott Plumbing in mind for future work, and I recommend them as long as you take into consideration my tip...ask about discounts and check for coupons.

Scott's plumbers were super nice, but they told me that it wasn't possible to connect my disposal to my new sink and if I wanted to use the disposal I would have to order a new sink and have them come back out. Now, I typically use another Madison plumber, but they were booked up, so I went with Scott's which was recommended here and on our neighborhood site. When I was able to order and have a new sink delivered because we needed the disposal, the other Madison plumber came out and told me it was actually very easy to connect my disposal to my (at that point, current) sink, and they were really perplexed as to why they would tell me that. Writing this because it was an additional $300 and months without a disposal that shouldn't have happened.

I don't typically write reviews, but when I feel like I need to warn others away from crooks, I'll sit down and write one. The review is a semi-detailed account of my experience, but the bottom line is at the end if you don't want to read the whole thing. On the original call, the owner of the company came out to fix two toilets that I had running, and I assume he was training a new plumber. He claimed to fix both toilets, but he was lacking the parts on his truck and just """"adjusted"""" one of them and said it was fixed, but it was not. Both of the toilets were still running, so called him back out because the work was under warranty. The same new plumber came out, by himself this time, and fixed them again. At the end of the job, he tried to collect payment. I told him this was a warranty call and I shouldn't owe anything. He calls the owner, and the owner tells him to charge me for one toilet instead of two. His logic was that they didn't work on the toilet that they just """"adjusted"""" last time, since they didn't have the part to replace it, and he claimed that I owed for that toilet. Here is where the math gets a bit fuzzy. The plumber was going to charge me $150 for both toilets without any warranty. With one under warranty, he was still trying to charge me $117, and the first time he charged me $135. So if two toilets in one call was $150, then why was he trying to charge me the $135 from the original call with an extra $117 from this one? Mind you, I didn't agree to any extra work outside of the warranty work they were supposed to be doing. I told the plumber that I wasn't going to pay because this is warrantied work and I don't owe anything. He calls the owner back and the owner calls me on my cell and says I have 5 minutes to pay his plumber or he is going to call the Sheriffs department and report me for theft of services, then just hangs up on me. He wouldn't even entertain the idea of going over his math for what he was expecting me to pay. At this point, I decided to call the Sheriffs department myself, because I didn't do anything wrong. About an hour later, two deputies show up and get both of our stories. Since this is a civil matter, they couldn't really do anything, but they both agreed with me that the plumber should have given me some form of statement of work before starting new work. At the end of the day, I ended up paying $100 because the owner was adamant about filing a theft of service report against me, and it wasn't worth anymore of my time to deal with this idiot. His plumber was there for 3 hours for less than a 1 hour job, so at least I got some justice of wasting his time and costing him business for his shady dealings; additionally, I hope this review will serve as a warning and help people find an honest plumber instead of this crook that cares more about being right than taking care of his customers. Bottom Line: At the end of the day, the owner of this company would rather waste 3 hours of time for him, me, his plumber, and two deputies than honor a $100 warranty claim for his work. Not to mention the other customers that were scheduled for later that day. Stay away from this company.

I have used Scott Plumbing over the last 8 years. They have always done an excellent job and been quick and courteous. I will only trust my plumbing needs to them. I used other companies in the past that either didn't fix the first time or left something else a mess. Scott Plumbing deserves title of best in business because of their excellent service! Thank you!

Inadequate customer service. I knew exactly what my problem was but yet couldn't even get a ballpark idea of how much the charge would be to fix. They said they could send someone to look at it and tell me what was wrong and how much it would be to fix it but their estimates are NOT free. In other words I have to pay them to tell me what the problem is even though I already know what the problem is!?! Really!?! All I needed was a bathtub drain to be reconnected. They basically acted like I wasn't worth their time. I'm not a plumber but have worked in the service industry in Huntsville for years and my wife works in property management and handles all repairs for over 400 rental properties. So I always get asked which companies or vendors are the best for all different types of repairs which usually results in lots of business for whoever I recommend. The next time I get asked what plumber I recommend I will be sure to steer them clear of this company so they don't waste their time like I did!

I woke up to a leaking water heater. I really needed help quickly. Keith answered the phone and had a replacement water heater at my house in less than 2 hours. I am so grateful to Keith and the men he sent. I have hired several different plumbers since we moved to Huntsville, but I am sure that Scott Plumbing is the best, by far.

Kitchen drain sprung a leak, spewing water through the opposite wall into our playroom. Called Scott Plumbing at 08:00, they were here at 08:55, fixed and gone by 10:05. We've used Scott Plumbing once before and they were really quick then, too. I was really surprised at how inconvenient not having a kitchen sink can be and I was hopeful they would be as quick - especially not knowing the extent of the damage in the wall. If we end up remodeling the entire kitchen we will definitely be giving Scott Plumbing a call! Thanks guys!

Used Scott Plumbing to repair a leak in the pipe running from the water meter to my house. Paid $1825.00 to """"Repipe main, meter to house on 15 Oct. 2019. On 12 Aug. 2020 noticed a water leak from the house side of the water meter. Contacted Scott Plumbing and asked how long their work was warranted for, and they stated 1 year. I had them come out, they fixed the leak, which was caused by a leaking check valve between the house and water meter that they had to replace. This work was performed under warranty for no charge on 12 Aug. 2020. Five days later on 17 Aug. 2020 I once again observed a leak at the house side of the water meter. I called Scott Plumbing, who once again sent out a plumber to fix the leak. Scott Plumbing discovered the five day old replaced check valve was leaking again, Scott plumbing then informed me that I would have to pay for a replacement. I called Keith at Scott plumbing and told him I didn't feel I should have to pay to get something fixed that they had just fixed five days prior. Keith then informed me that I could pay, or he would send his plumber away, and I could call another plumbing service for my needs. I reluctantly paid the $75.00 for the repair, as I wanted my water back on. Would not use them again, as they failed to stand behind their work.
