Company Overview

🔺 Available from 7AM to 4PM 🔻 Quality Service Since 1973 🔺 Flexible Financing Options 🔻 Family Owned & Operated
Founded in 1973, Wimpy's Dependable Plumbing, Inc. has served the community. Winfred Butler, my father, chose to name his company after his nickname, ""Wimpy"", to help customers easily remember the quirky name and connect it with trustworthy service.

Following Wimpy's death in 2003, I made the choice to uphold the same quality service our clients have come to expect. As a third-generation Sarasota native, I was raised in the plumbing industry and earned my master plumber license at the age of 18. The name ""Bubba"" was given to me by my sister, Lori, who struggled to say brother. Lori, with her cheerful voice and vibrant personality, has been our office manager for 38 years.

Mike, my son, is the third generation of licensed master plumbers in our family. We are a family business dedicated to meeting your family's plumbing needs.

Thank you for trusting us with your plumbing needs!
Best regards, Bubba Butler
As a third-generation master plumber, Mike continues our family legacy in Sarasota. He started out as a young helper to his Dad Bubba, carrying tools, and discovered a love for the unique challenges of each job.

Just had Marco and Ben out to install a new state of the art A/C system. They were informative, polite and did the install in a timely manner and cleaned up everything. Cannot say enough about their service. Thanks again guys!

Outstanding job. Fixed my garbage disposal that was backing up on the other side when I turned it on. I have used them 3 times and would highly recommend them for any plumbing needs you might have

Terrible!!! They put in a water heater and did not tighten the wires down. power to my house tripped and almost started a fire. it happened over the weekend so I asked a manager to call me on Monday, they never did. The electrician who came to look at it told me the wires were loose.

Prompt, personable, and professional. Ray did an excellent job. He worked quickly and well. I got the work I needed done at a reasonable price, and enjoyed chatting with Ray as he quickly installed a new disposal. Couldn't be happier with Wimpy's.

Avoid Wimpy's. It's that simple. Just over 18 months ago they installed a water heater in our home. The installer broke the existing drain pan at the time, but quipped """"don't worry, with this water heater, you won't need it anyway."""" Well, 18 months later the heater is leaking into the heater's electronics. I called today to get a replacement installed. I figured that since the original Rheem heater has a 6 year warranty, that the replacement would be at no charge - or at maybe a nominal fee. But Wimpy's wants the astronomical amount of $700 for the installation of a new water heater that comes free to them from Rheem because of the warranty -- and this is a discount from the $1200 price because we're such good customers who have spent more than $20,000 on HVAC and plumbing over the last 2 years. They sold me a lemon for $1500 about 18 months ago and now want another $700 for a couple hours of work to install a replacement. I'm dumbfounded at the greed. Does any contractor stand behind their products and service any longer? Is there an honest contractor left in Florida? I haven't found many. I asked why they won't stand behind their products... Why does a warranty replacement cost so much. Jesse (a manager?) gave me some BS answer that you'd get from all of the least reputable contractors in Florida. Basically, they sell you crap and hope that you'll keep paying over the short life of the product. I've been in Florida for 22 years and have heard most of the excuses for bad workmanship and service. I won't throw good money after bad. I'll try to find another plumber who can install a quality product. You should too.

Just want to say that Christopher Cory and Austin are simply the best! I've hired many so called professionals but these guys are the real thing, kind ,honest ,very focused and knowledgeable ..., love my new a/c, thank you again

Highly responsive with estimate. I hired them on the spot once I understood the costs for the projects I have.. (I had received a previous estimate with another plumbing outfit). They replaced my water heater, kitchen sink and changed the guts of my guest toilet. All are now working properly. My kitchen sink and whole home's water pressure and quantity of hot water is great. I'd highly recommended them. The value for their services is good.

A young tech came out and pretended to be looking for the problem and making phone calls. After the hour was up he tells me it's a wire outside the unit and he has to charge 300 dollars because it took more than an hour. I won't recommend this company to anyone.

We've been having issues with water pressure at our home for months. I called Wimpy's and made an appt for the following day. Jesse came out, was very polite, wore shoes to protect our floors. We explained what had been happening. Within minutes, he located the problem, and corrected it. The price was very reasonable. We were very happy. Wimpy's will be our go-to plumber in the future!

We just had all of our old systems replaced and couldn't be happier with the results. True professionals and great employees. Quality work, really easy to work with, showed up on time, and left everything neat as a pin each evening. I would give them a 10 if I could.
