Late one night in 2023, a water heater blew and flooded a basement "like a swimming pool." The household found SWB Plumbing/HVAC, and in a November 2023 Angi review said the plumber was there within 30 minutes of the call, got and installed a new water heater, then stayed to help clean up; they have used him for several other projects since. Seth is the name ten of the 15 Angi reviews mention. Another November 2023 customer, in a 1947 house whose sink, dishwasher and laundry were flooding the basement, said Seth came the next day, found pipes in the concrete old and clogged beyond repair, and redid the plumbing in a few hours at a decent price. A December 2023 customer's simple faucet swap turned out to be incompatible with old plumbing; Seth diagnosed it, gave a reasonable new price, bought the materials and finished in short order. In a January 2024 review, Seth found a leak a previous plumber had missed at a shutoff, replaced the cassette and installed a new handle, and an April 2024 customer said he replumbed their shower pipes. Water heater replacements come up in four reviews from 2023 to 2025, including an August 2025 hot water tank installation where the customer said Seth stayed communicative throughout. The newest review, from September 2026, credits Seth and Matt with expanding a basement bathroom. The business describes itself on Angi as serving the Portland, Lewiston and Auburn areas, and Angi lists Maine trade licence MS90020451 for it. On Angi it holds 5.0 stars from 15 ratings.
