Elston Plumbing & Heating's Google reviews split hard on one thing: what happens when a job doesn't go smoothly. In a 2022 review, a customer said "Donnie" replaced a water heater quickly and the job was done well. Another 2022 review told a rougher story — a customer said the plumber they hired to fix a pipe made the problem worse, leaving water damage and mold, and then avoided their calls to come back and fix it. A more recent review, from 2024, simply reported no response and called the service abysmal. Google shows 2.8★ from 9 ratings, built on just three written reviews. The 2022 pipe complaint and the 2024 non-response report are both worth asking about directly before booking: what happens if something goes wrong on the job, and how reachable the company is afterward.
No response. Service abysmal
We hired this guy don to come fix a pipe then to have the problem be worst once this guy worked on it, he didn't fix nothing & cause the problem worse with now water damage & mold because of him,he doesn't want to fix it & is avoiding my calls. This place is not a good business,they lied & ppl should be aware.
Fast & Great Service Donnie replaced our water heater. Service was quick and well done!
