Carolina Plumbing

Extremely well. Personable and professional. Master of his craft.

He seldom showed up on time or when he said he would, putting us behind schedule. Our chief complaint is he just wouldn't show up when he was supposed to, and our other contractors were waiting for him to finish before proceeding. One day he called in sick and we wished him well, however, we ran into him 2 hours later at Lowes, which makes us think he is just a liar. He ruined brand new cabinets by drilling holes in places that were not necessary. He tore out a hole in the back of a brand new bathroom sink cabinet. (SEE PHOTO) Then scrawled a message on a piece of plaster board, about the bathroom cabinet needed to be moved. (SEE PHOTO). He connected both a hot and cold water line together to the hot water heater (SEE PHOTO) and two other contractors commented they don't know why he would intentionally do this. One said, "this is not the work of a master plumber, as he claims to be." This is why we have decided to report him . WORTHY OF MENTION- On one occasion, he said, "let me ask you a personal question. You're gay, or homosexual? Why is it that gay people don't get upset when we are late or not on time?" He went on to say, " It's just like little old Black ladies. They don't complain either." Anyone reading these truthful comments can draw their own conclusion.

He repaired the flange at the base of the toilet. Very attentive to details. I found the same problem on the other bathroom a week later and he came right out and did a great job.

Ed is a personable guy who arrived early and was meticulous in his work. He made sure that no liquids spilled and cleaned up when completed. He took his time and did the job right. I appreciated his efforts here. Thanks Ed.

Ed was specific in what he was going to do and gave me recommendations about some other projects that were also needing to be done. He was there the same day when i initially called him for a quote. He had another job going on but worked on my project shortly after. He was much cheaper than my previous quote and did a fantastic job.

Ed called us right back with a time that he could do the work the next day which was a Monday. It was not an emergency so we didn't need him to do the work on Sunday. He came when he said he would and explained to me what he was doing. Very professional and a nice man. Great experience.. I would highly recommend him.

I called other plumbers and after discussing the problem, they never called back. Used Angie's List, for the first time,and called Carolina Plumbing. Talked to Ed Bishop, the owner, and we set up an appointment. He arrived on time and looked at my problem. He wanted to do some research. He called back in a couple of days and we set up another appointment. Again he arrived on time and brought with him a friend who was a retired plummer. They both looked a the problem and made some suggestions. Ed returned the next day, on time. He made the corrections to the recirculating line and relocated a valve. At first I was not sure if the problem was corrected, but within two days the the recirculating line started moving hot water throughout the system and I was able to get hot water, in 5 to 10 seconds, at all sinks throughout the house. I will call Carolina Plumbing for all of my future plumbing needs.

Eddie Bishop is a heck of a nice, easy to work with, and knowledgable guy! Glad to know him , and his coworker, Ed. They did a great job!! Absolutely would call them again. Eddie, as well, is now considered a friend!

He is professional, imformative, has resonable prices. Such a good business man and I would recomend him to anyone.

Ed came as scheduled and repaired leaking bathtub faucets. Needed special parts which he obtained quickly and completed repairs. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely call him again when (not if!) we have a plumbing problem beyond my humble ability to fix, and we recommend him highly. Price was quite reasonable.

Ed could not have been nicer. He showed up when promised, immediately identified the problems in the bathroom and fixed them. He had me turn on all faucets so he could go into the crawlspace under the house to check for leaks. Turns out there were no leaks, so no damage, and therefore no big repairs needed! Ed noticed that the hot water heater overflow pipe ran down too close to the ground, so he cut it a little shorter so that overflow would be easier to spot. I'll definitely call Carolina Plumbing when/if I have any more plumbing problems or issues. PS - The service was not free; Angie's list instructions stated that " If cost is unknown, you may input a zero." ... so that's what I did.

He did an excellent job. He stayed in touch and competed the work very quickly. The price was exactly what he said it would be.

This company actually has tightened down every one of the commode at the church in both the male and female bathrooms. We did this 5 years ago and probably they were lose from the beginning. When they were built they were not tightened down as tight it should have been but we did not notice them till recently. Anyway they tightened them all by putting a new ring on it. Another similar provider wanted $350 per commode. It was outrageous.

All the work was done in a professional manner and on time as quoted.

It was a very pleasant experience. He came at 9am and all cleaned up and finished by 11am. He gave me a senior citizen discount.

Ed Bishop scheduled the appointment the day before and showed up at the appointed time. We had a toilet that was "running" (i.e., taking in water) at random times during the day. We had thought that we would need to replace all of the flush assemblies in our toilet tank. But Ed said that it was just a seal that needed replaced -so that saved us some $. Our other problem was that we had a bathtub fixture that only produced hot water. Ed spent about an hour trying to figure out if it was the controller apparatus or something else. In the end he diagnosed the problem that, when the house was built, the contractor never ran cold water line to the fixture. He helped us make contact with the County code inspectors and even made a call to the SC State code investigator to see if we had any recourse to go back to the builder and make a claim. That did not work out but he advised us to contact the company that inspected the house when we bought it 6 mos ago. They had not identified the problem when they should have. We are in the process of pursuing this. Ed did not charge us for his time to do this diagnosis but said he would add a charge to our bill if we decided to get the problem fixed. All in all, Ed was very congenial and helpful. He did what he said he was going to do and more. We can highly recommend him to fix residential plumbing problems. He gave us a small discount because we are over 65.

I found this plumber on Angie's List and called him. I was quite pleased with his responses and felt very confident with his knowledge. I explained the issue to him and he was able to tell me what he thought it was without even looking into it. He even gave a rough estimate of the cost. I saw someone else's post about him appearing rude. He is hard of hearing and is usually knee deep in plumbing issues when he answers his cell phone. He was busy when I called as well but he certainly did not come off as rude. He was very pleasant and polite. I set up an appointment for him to check out our issues. He came and fixed everything quickly. I was very impressed with how well he did everything. We had another plumber there previously who was horrible to deal with. I am glad I went with Carolina Plumbing and will definitely use him again. I recommend him to anyone with plumbing or water heater issues. He has a vast array of knowledge and is a very reasonable price. He may seem a bit pricey to some but the peace of mind you get with him is priceless. I know we will not have any more issues with our water heater now!

I called Carolina Plumbing and tried to explain my situation. After interrupting me several times he said, "wait, just hold on, let me ask the questions". He continually interrupted me. He was in the middle of something when I called, but it's not my fault he answered his phone. I would have left a message. After spending last night putting my water heater in, and still having two leaks in my water lines, I'm frustrated as well. I'm a mechanically inclined do it yourselfer, not an idiot. I just don't have the special tool that I need to fix the leak. He might be the best plumber around, but he will not get my business. Very unprofessional. Why would you be rude to someone who is trying to hire you, and hasn't been rude to you?

He was friendly and courteous, and he explained things thoroughly.

took lever out of tub that controls to fill up tub w/water, and used snake to go into the elbow and drain to clear the clogged stoppage.

He was really great. I even referred him to a friend.

He came out and was very nice. The problem seemed to be solved when he left but it was not a permanent solution.

Carolina Plumbing turned the water heater off and started draining. He said he would come back later in the day but then he called me later and said he's gotten tied up with his original job and he was not going to be able to come back so he has found me the second plumber. I thought that it was exceptional that he has done that. He identified the problem. helped me with the immediate problem and found me somebody that was available and he came out that same day. He didn't charge me anything for his time.

Great, mr bishop did a good and timely repair....

Our kitchen faucet was leaking for a while, and one of our toilet tank system too. Because Ed already performed a previous job for us, I called him with confidence. His diagnostic was we had to replace the kitchen faucet and the toilet tank system. Both was old and the best option was to buy new one, not only replace some parts. I did and he came back to fixe each system. Ed is always on time when he give a time to come. He is very nice.
