I called around at local chains and searched some local neighborhood groups. I ran across Scottco referrals in multiple locations from real people. I always prefer to try and go with a local small business when possible. Scottco had a fair quote, did quality work, and were very easy to deal with. They were able to restore my homes water pressure and replace the water heater.

Scott was friendly and laid back. We exchanged a few phone calls and Scott was able to stop by the same evening. He diagnosed the issue with our recent major decrease in water pressure. After working on things for about 45 minutes he was able to get our pressure working albeit still very reduced. He informed us that unfortunately, there was no easy fix. A combination of an old/failing water heater, and a clog in our bathtub/shower valve were greatly reducing our water pressure. He offered a reasonable quote and didn't try to upcharge us with 100 different issues we may or may not have had. He told me to get some more quotes and let him know if we wanted to schedule.

I called a few other chain plumbing joints but they all wanted to charge fees to offer a quote or ultimately had horrendous reviews about high pressure tactics and upselling random unnecessary fixes. I wasn't comfortable with any of the places that were able to come out in a reasonable amount of time. While not technically an emergency we couldn't go without our bathroom for an extended amount of time.

We have a small home and a single bathroom, so we decided to schedule the service with Scottco to get it restored to working ASAP. Scott and Alex gave us a heads up and arrived the morning of the repair. They both worked on the issue and were able to get the two stated issues addressed. I mostly stay out of the way but they showed me things as they were working on them. Scott was entirely correct on his assessment. The replacement in-wall shower diverter valve, new water heater, and flushing with our homes ancient pipes was able to restore our water pressure to ludicrous levels. We also have instant hot water which has never been something we've experienced before. The shower pressure is the highest we've ever had at the house. We have to keep the knobs down a bit because of how well it flows now.

All around it was a fantastic experience. Fair quote, no high-pressure upsell crap, and honest quality work. I've already referred Scott to a family member, and we have put his business card and cell phone contact into our phones. We will happily use him again with any future plumbing needs.

Very responsive by phone and text. Came out same day and gave us a competitive quote for a new water heater. Scheduled the installation quickly and arrived for the job on time. We will be calling again!

I called Scottco early in the morning because my valve to my kitchen faucet was leaking under the sink profusely. I had to turn off the water to the house. He arranged his schedule to come out right away. He replaced the valves and kitchen the faucet at a very reasonable price. He is someone who you can trust, a good communicator and is upfront with what he charges. I chose him because of other really good reviews..

Had a very slow drain issue in the bathroom. I called my home warranty twice to try to fix the problem and it never got fixed. I finally call Scottco plumbing on my own and Scott was great. It took Scott about 20 minutes or less to fix the issue and explain what was wrong. Scott also gave us tips and suggestions to use for future maintenance.

My sewer was backing up in my back yard. I called Scott at 5:00 PM on a Sunday and he came to my house within an hour and fixed my problem! He used a camera to identify the issue and gave me all the information I would need to call the city. He was In and out within an hour. He charges a flat rate for this issue. When I called around before I chose him, no one would come that same day and rates were very high. We are so grateful and would highly recommend this company.
