Toilet was rocking back and forth. When toilet was removed, it was discovered that the cast iron flange was broken off on one side, which was causing the toilet not to sit firmly to the floor. Called and spoke to Gavin who came out right away to give me a estimate of repairs. Gavin provided an excellent quote and also replaced the toilet flange the same day. Gavin was very professional and the job only took an hour to complete and it was done right. I would highly recommend this company. They did a great job and at a great price.

I called the company on a Thursday about a property I own on 905 N Matthews Rd; Lake City, SC. After explaining my problem, I was told they would contact me the first of the following week and set up a time to come to the property. I agreed to that. Wednesday of that week came and I had not heard from the company, so that afternoon I called them and had to leave a message: I asked them to please call and let me know if I was still on their work list and reiterated the conversation we had had earlier. Almost a week later and I still have not heard back from them. This is my first experience with hiring someone through Angie's List and I am perplexed at this kind of treatment from a listing with an "A" rating.

Response from Palmetto State Plumbing
Hey [Member Name Removed] thanks for the review. I looked back and couldn't find any record of you being on the schedule for what ever reason. I am really sorry we dropped the ball and if we mis communicated this with you and why we didn't get it down. Unfortunately our company doesn't travel to lake city or do any service in that area. We strive to give the best service as possible and again we are extremely sorry that we did not live up to our "A" rating as we work hard to do this. Again thank you for the review and we apologize for not getting back with you.

Called Gavin and quickly got a time for him to come out and take a look. He provided cost estimates based on questions I had about tankless vs. traditional tanks. Once I gave the go ahead it was installed within 24 hours. Everything was quick and easy and exactly as expected.

Gavin and Tyler were great! We opted to go with the tankless heater this time around so we didn't have to go through this problem ever again. The weather caused us a few issues getting it installed but Gavin worked with the electrician and gas guys as soon as it was possible to get the tankless installed. I would definitely call them to handle any or our plumbing issues!
Description of Work: At 3am I walked into my bathroom and found about an inch of water on the floor. Our hot water heater had busted in the attic and the water was seeping from our wall and exhaust fan into my bathroom. I called Gavin and he sent Tyler immediately. Tyler evaluated our problem and turned off the hot water to stop the water from causing more damage. Gavin came later that morning to evaluate and provide us with options and recommendations to help fix the repairs. Unfortunately, turning off the heater didn't fix the problem and we had to call him back to drain the heater completely. They came right back and finally the water stopped.

Gavin called and was able to come before our appointment. He assessed the situation and provided me with a recommendation. We had him do the work that day. It was relatively quick and he shows me how the builders had not installed the toilet correctly and explained why we had the problem we did. He told me what to expect if the problem reoccurred and said he would come back. We haven't had any issues since.

He was wonderful! He came out , even before he came out he kept in constant contact with me to let me know where he was and how much longer it would be till he got to me. You don't find that type of kindness a lot anymore . He arrived dug up the area and informed me yes I certainly had a leak but so does the city on their side of the meter. If they would have taking the time to look into it instead of right away trying to brush it off they would have seen it. As a matter of fact their leak was worse then our side! He fixed my side. He then was nice enough to leave it open so the city could see it and not be lazy about themselves again. Took his time to show me where my crack was, and then should me where the cities crack was. Also told me if the city gave me a hard time to call him when they got here and he would come right over. Now I am sorry but you don't find many of people like this . He is a diamond in the ruff! I would recommend him 100%. All around great guy who goes over and above for his customers!!!!
Description of Work: We had a pipe break on our side of the outside water meter. Did not know this at first, so I had the city come out and check it first alls they did was look at the meter and say " the leak is on your side you need a Plummer. Being new to the area, I knew no one so I quickly turned to Angie's List . Found Galvin from Palmetto State Plumbing my hero!

Amazing. We found water leaking from our house at 9 pm on a Thursday. Gavin was there by 10 and found that our hot water heater, located in our attic was leaking. He immediately took steps to protect our home. He contacted his electrician as we needed new wiring to move the water heater to our garage and by 4 pm the next day we had a new heater with lovely hot water. The electrician charged $296 and Gavin charged $800.

Gavin is totally AWESOME!!!!! Appointment was made to fit MY schedule; appointment confirmation was made by Palmetto State; they called 30 minutes before time to make sure time was still ok with me; evaluated problem; repaired issues in a very timely manner. Gavin is very knowledgeable in his field. He was courteous, respectful of property, very reasonable. I am extremely impressed with this company and will use them again and highly refer them to friends and family! I simply cannot say enough positive things about this experience!! Great job!!!

My initial experience with Palmetto State Plumbing matched the reviews of most other people. When I called, they got back in touch with me, came out quickly, and did the job that I needed. I thought that the price was a little high but nothing outrageous. If that had concluded my dealings with this company, then my review would probably have been a good one. Unfortunately, after the tile installers came and installed the backer board and tile, I found out that the faucet had been installed incorrectly. When trying to attach the trim and knob, I realized that the faucet had been installed too deep in the wall. Therefore, the knob and trim plates would not attach correctly. I called the company on a Sunday afternoon and left a message describing the problem with a request that they call me back to discuss options. On Tuesday afternoon after not receiving a call, I called again. After talking with the owner, Gavin, I was told that they would come by the following day to take a look. On the following day, Gavin sent me a text stating that he would not be able to make it, but he did not offer a reschedule date. I asked about a reschedule date, but was never given a response. I tried calling again on Thursday, but my call was unanswered. I have yet to received any further response. After doing some research, I found a stem extender for Kohler faucets that I ordered that fixed my problem. It's too bad that I had already cut a hole in the bedroom wall behind the faucet. I would not recommend Palmetto State Plumbing.

After sending a message through Angie's list he agreed to do the work. Needed a kitchen sink, garbage disposal, and dishwasher replaced. When asked when I needed the work done I replied asap, gave him the days I would be available. Never got a response after that! After a week went by I contacted another plumber on Angie's list and had the work done the very next day!!

This didn't sound familiar to me at first but I did look back and see where you contacted our company and after a little back and fourth between us I did drop the ball on you. I apologize for letting this get away from me as this is not like me or our company at all. We try our best to give the best possible service to our customers and I am extremely sorry that we did not live up to that for you. Again this was totally my fault and if we can do anything in the future I promise this won't happen again. Thanks for the chance and the review.

Oh man, was I glad I found these guys! I had a water heater I was looking to replace at a house I'm purchasing, the existing water heater had heavy rust damage all along bottom and looked like it could blow out at any moment -- the type that make you really nervous. I originally bought Lowe's water heater detail service which is advertised as "same day installation if ordered before noon" - the detail costs $35, and the charge if they put it in is $230 + any add'l fees assessed at detail. Well, turned out this was blatant false advertising, as Lowe's just contracts it out, and their contractor couldn't do the work for at least 5 days out! I got a refund from Lowe's and found Gavin on Angie's List. He came out the next day and installed water heater (his cost was $250, plus an add'l $25 for transporting the water heater from Home Depot to site about 5 miles away). He did excellent work, on short notice, and actually met the timeframe Lowe's was advertising. Long story short, I give Lowe's an F for false advertising, and Gavin/Palmetto State Plumbing an A+ for actually being available to do the work!

The plumber was kind enough not to make me feel stupid about noticing this myself. It was behind the panel on the water heater, and once removed, he noticed it right away. Then he proceeded to check out the rest of my older water heater and make sure it looked in good condition and everything else was operating alright. He reported to me everything he was doing and why, and he also explained what we might want to do in the future. He could have taken advantage of me and sold me a new thermostat or water heater but didn't. I thought he was very professional and kind about it, considering he had come on a Saturday and out of his usual service area.

Gavin is an extremely competent, responsive, professional and friendly plumber. I would recommend him to anyone and don't even consider calling anyone else when I need a plumbing professional.
Description of Work: Gavin responded immediately to a concern I had regarding a potential plumbing leak in my house. He conducted a thorough search and removed a small piece of drywall neatly. Turned out I didn't have a leak, but he cleaned the area up very thoroughly. He also installed a toilet for me and some other minor repairs.

Gavin and his assistant came out and investigated a leak in my crawl space. Other plumbing services had not been able to find/fix. He quickly diagnosed that the drain from the shower was not connected to the drain line. It was a large job, so he scheduled a time to come back and knock this out along with installation of an undercabinet ice maker in my outdoor bar and a hot water dispenser in my kitchen. Everything works great and it was another amazingly positive experience working with Gavin (owner). He is very prompt. professional, capable and personal...all at a very reasonable price. He is the best I have ever worked with.
