About Fast Plumbing Greenville
Years of Experience
Happy Clients
Nearly 1 in 5 homeowners in Greenville County face a plumbing emergency every year, and most of them wait too long to call. We started Fast Plumber Greenville because we watched neighbors go hours without water, losing hundreds in damage, simply because no local plumber answered the phone.
We are a locally owned plumbing company serving Greenville, SC and the surrounding Upstate communities. Our team reaches most addresses in Greenville from the Augusta Road area to Taylors, from North Main to Simpsonville, in 30 to 60 minutes. That’s not a marketing claim. That’s our dispatch standard.
We’ve been fixing Greenville’s plumbing since 2009. In that time, we’ve handled everything from a burst pipe in a 1968 ranch home off Wade Hampton Boulevard to a slab leak under a newer build in Mauldin. We know this area’s plumbing the way a neighbor does not from a corporate manual.
Our Local Roots: Our team lives here. We shop at the same Publix on Woodruff Road. Our kids go to school in Greenville County. When Greenville Water reports a main break near Pleasantburg Drive, we already know which neighborhoods will see low pressure the next morning. That kind of local knowledge saves you time.
We serve homeowners, property managers, and small businesses across:
Greenville (all zip codes: 29601–29617), Simpsonville, Mauldin, Greer, Taylors, Travelers, Rest, North Main corridor, Augusta Road area, Five Forks area & more.
What Makes Us Different
Same-day service is our standard, not a premium add-on. For emergencies, we dispatch within minutes and reach most Greenville addresses in 30–60 minutes. Our service trucks are stocked to handle most common repairs on the first visit, so you're not waiting for a parts run after we arrive.
We hold a valid South Carolina plumbing contractor license. We carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation. You can ask for proof before we start, we'll hand it to you. This matters because an unlicensed plumber working on your home creates liability for you as the homeowner if something goes wrong.
We have a consistent 5-star rating on Google. Not because every job is simple, but because we communicate clearly, show up when we say we will, and charge what we quoted.
Here's the kind of language we hear from customers: "Trustworthy. Honest. Came on a Sunday. Didn't overcharge." That's the standard we hold ourselves to.
We back our work. Parts come with manufacturer warranties. Our labor carries a workmanship guarantee if something we fixed fails because of how we fixed it, we come back and make it right at no charge. Ask us the specific terms for your job when you call.
We're not a franchise with a call center in another state. When you call us, someone in Greenville answers. We know the neighborhoods, the housing stock, and the plumbing quirks that come with Upstate South Carolina's specific climate and soil conditions.
We are a locally owned small business. The people who answer your call are the same people whose kids go to Wade Hampton or Eastside High. That kind of local accountability matters.
If you're not satisfied with how a job was handled, not the plumbing outcome, but the experience, call us directly. We will address it. Customer-first isn't a tagline here. It's the only way a locally owned plumbing company survives in a community where everyone talks to their neighbors.

Residential & Commercial Plumbing in Greenville, SC
Residential Plumbing
Greenville’s housing stock varies more than most people realize. A 1958 home in the Augusta Road area has cast iron drain lines, copper supply lines, and possibly original galvanized steel in the walls. A 2019 build in Five Forks Plantation has PEX everywhere and a tankless water heater. The diagnostic approach is completely different.
We tailor our service to your home’s age, construction type, and plumbing history. When you call us, we ask three questions before we arrive: How old is the house? When did the problem start? Have you had plumbing work done in the past 5 years? That conversation lets us arrive with the right parts and the right plan.
New Home Plumbing Inspection
If you’re buying a home in Greenville, a plumbing inspection before closing is worth every dollar. A standard home inspection doesn’t include a sewer camera or pressure test. We’ve found slab leaks, corroded main lines, and non-permitted additions in homes that passed a standard inspection. A plumbing-specific pre-purchase inspection runs $175–$350 and can save you thousands in post-closing surprises.
Home Maintenance Plumbing
Most Greenville homeowners don’t think about their plumbing until something fails. In our experience, these four maintenance items prevent 80% of the emergency calls we see:
- Flush your water heater annually (removes sediment, extends tank life)
- Have your sewer line camera-inspected every 3–5 years if your home is over 30 years old
- Insulate crawl space pipes before November Greenville’s January cold snaps catch homeowners off guard every year
- Check the flapper in every toilet once a year, they degrade and cause phantom flushing
When DIY Goes Wrong
We’ve re-done more DIY plumbing repairs than we can count. The most common: homeowners who use the wrong pipe adhesive on PVC fittings (they seem fine until pressure is applied), or who replace a faucet cartridge without turning off the correct shutoff valve and end up flooding the cabinet. There’s no judgment here plumbing looks straightforward until it isn’t. If a repair involves the main supply line, the water heater, or anything behind your wall, call a licensed plumber first.
Commercial Plumbing
We serve businesses, property managers, and commercial properties across Greenville County. Commercial plumbing has different demands than residential code requirements are stricter, downtime costs money, and a failed fixture in a restaurant or medical office isn’t just inconvenient, it’s a liability. We provide full plumbing solutions for:
- Small commercial buildings and retail spaces
- Multi-unit residential properties and apartment complexes
- Restaurants and food service facilities
- Office buildings and medical practices
- Property management companies managing Greenville rental portfolios
For property managers
We offer preferred scheduling, documented service reports, and direct invoice options. If you manage 5 or more units in Greenville County, call us to set up a service account.
Industrial note
For large industrial facilities or manufacturing plants with process piping, we refer to qualified industrial mechanical contractors. We focus on commercial plumbing up to light industrial scale.
Case Study: What a Real Greenville Plumbing Call Looks Like
Situation: A homeowner off Rutherford Road in downtown Greenville called at 7:15 PM on a Wednesday. She noticed the bathroom floor was warm and could hear faint running water with everything turned off. Her water bill had been $85 higher than normal for two months.
What we found: Using acoustic detection equipment, we located an active slab leak in a copper supply line under the bathroom floor — approximately 4 feet from the exterior wall.
What we did: We isolated the supply line, confirmed no other active leaks with a pressure test, and repaired the pipe through a targeted opening (12 inches of flooring removed, not the whole bathroom). Total repair time: 3.5 hours.
Cost: $875, including leak detection, concrete cutting, pipe repair, and concrete patch. She had paid $170 in excess water bills over two months. Total loss from waiting: $170 + early pipe corrosion that might have extended the leak area.
The lesson: When your water bill jumps and nothing has changed in your usage, that’s the single best early indicator of a hidden leak. Call before the damage compounds.
Common Plumbing Problems in Greenville
Flooded Basement or Crawl Space
Greenville’s red clay soil holds water after heavy rain. If your sump pump fails during a storm or if you don’t have one that water goes straight into your lower level. We repair and install sump pumps and address the drainage issue that caused the backup.
Sewer Backup
A main drain line clog doesn’t just slow your drains. It pushes sewage back up through your lowest fixtures floor drains, basement toilets, and shower pans. When you see dark water coming up from a drain you weren’t using, that’s a sewer backup. It needs same-day sewer repair, not a wait-and-see approach.
Burst Pipe
A burst pipe is Greenville’s most expensive winter emergency. January cold snaps when overnight lows drop below 20°F freeze exposed pipes in crawl spaces, garages, and exterior walls of older homes, especially in pre-1980 construction in areas like North Main and West Greenville. When a frozen pipe thaws and bursts, water can soak your subfloor, drywall, and insulation within minutes. We shut off your main, stop the damage, and start the pipe repair in a single visit.
Water Leak
Some water leaks are visible. A lot are not. We’ve found active leaks inside walls of Simpsonville homes that had been running for three months without the owner knowing. If your water bill jumped $40 or more with no change in usage, call us. We use leak detection equipment to find it without tearing up your walls unnecessarily.
Signs You Need to Call a Plumber Immediately
Low Water Pressure at Multiple Fixtures
Low water pressure at one faucet is usually a clogged aerator. Low water pressure throughout your house is a sign of a broken water line, a partially closed main shutoff, or in older Greenville homes galvanized steel pipes that have corroded from the inside out and are nearly fully blocked. Don’t ignore this.
Clogged Drain That Won't Clear
One clogged drain in a single fixture is usually a local blockage. If multiple drains in your home are slow at the same time, that points to a main drain line clog. Store-bought drain cleaner won’t fix a main line obstruction, and it can damage your pipes if overused.
Broken Water Line
If you have a wet patch in your yard that’s not from rain, or a section of grass that’s abnormally green when the rest is dry, you likely have a broken water line. Greenville’s red clay soil and tree root systems near older neighborhoods are the two most common causes. This is an urgent plumbing repair.
Running Toilet
A running toilet wastes up to 200 gallons of water per day. In Greenville, that adds $30–$60 to your monthly water bill, month after month. It’s almost always a failed flapper or fill valve a 30-minute fix. Don’t pay for another full water cycle.
The right emergency plumber is the one who answers, arrives fast, and tells you exactly what’s wrong. The next section covers every core service we provide in detail.

Plumbing Issues That Can't Wait Until Morning
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a plumber cost in Greenville, SC?
Most standard plumbing repairs in Greenville run $93–$679 based on 2025 local project data. Simple jobs like a leaky faucet repair cost $95–$225. Larger jobs like slab leak repair run $700–$2,200. We give you a written quote before we start. The price we quote is the price you pay no hidden fees added after the fact.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency plumbing on weekends?
Yes. We answer 24 hours a day, every day including Sundays and holidays. Our after-hours service fee is $50–$100 above standard rates. We tell you that when you call, before we dispatch. We don’t surprise you with it on the invoice.
Are you a licensed and insured plumber in South Carolina?
Yes. We hold a valid South Carolina plumbing contractor license and carry full general liability insurance and workers’ compensation. Ask for proof of license and insurance before any job starts, we will provide it.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency plumbing on weekends?
Yes. We answer 24 hours a day, every day including Sundays and holidays. Our after-hours service fee is $50–$100 above standard rates. We tell you that when you call, before we dispatch. We don’t surprise you with it on the invoice.
How fast can you respond in Greenville?
Our average emergency response time in Greenville County is 30–60 minutes. We dispatch from within the county. For non-emergency same-day service, we typically arrive within 2–4 hours depending on current schedule.
Do you fix clogged drains and sewer backups?
Yes. We clear clogged drains with drain snakes and hydro jetting. For sewer backups, we use a camera inspection to identify the cause root intrusion, debris blockage, or structural damage and repair accordingly. We don’t just clear the blockage and leave without explaining what caused it.
What should I do if I have a burst pipe?
First: find your main water shutoff and turn it off. It’s usually near your water meter, outside the home near the foundation, or in your crawl space. Second: call us. Don’t try to patch a burst pipe yourself with tape, it won’t hold under pressure and delays the proper repair. We’ll arrive within 30–60 minutes with the right materials.
Do you serve areas outside Greenville?
Yes. We serve all of Greenville County plus Greer, Simpsonville, Mauldin, Taylors, Travelers Rest, Easley, Anderson, Spartanburg, Boiling Springs, Duncan, Lyman, Inman, and Fountain Inn. Call us with your address and we’ll confirm your ETA.
What's the difference between drain cleaning and hydro jetting?
Drain cleaning with a snake punches through the clog. Hydro jetting cleans the pipe walls. A snake is the right tool for a hair clog in a bathtub drain. Hydro jetting at 3,500 PSI is the right tool for grease-coated kitchen drain lines, recurring clogs, or a sewer line that needs full cleaning before a camera inspection. Hydro jetting costs $250–$500 in Greenville and is worth it when snaking keeps coming back.
Do you install tankless water heaters in Greenville?
Yes. We install and service tankless units from Rinnai, Noritz, and Rheem. Tankless water heater installation in Greenville runs $2,000–$3,500 installed. Federal tax credits for qualifying high-efficiency units may apply. We size the unit to your actual hot water demand number of bathrooms, appliances, and simultaneous use, not just your square footage.
Can you detect slab leaks?
Yes. We use acoustic listening devices and electronic leak detection equipment to locate slab leaks without tearing up your floor first. Signs of a slab leak: warm spots on your floor, water sounds when everything is off, unexplained rise in your water bill. In Greenville homes built in the 1970s and 80s with copper pipe under concrete slabs, slab leaks are increasingly common as those pipes approach 50 years old.
Do you handle commercial plumbing?
Yes. We serve businesses, property managers, and commercial properties across Greenville County. We provide service reports and preferred scheduling for property managers handling multiple units. Call to set up a service account if you manage 5 or more units.
Do you offer water filtration installation?
Yes. We install whole-house water filtration systems and water softeners. Greenville’s water supply is moderately hard mineral buildup is a real issue in areas like Greer and Five Forks. Filtration extends the life of your water heater, dishwasher, and fixtures. We size the system to your home’s water usage and hardness level.
What causes low water pressure in my Greenville home?
The three most common causes: galvanized pipe corrosion narrowing the interior diameter in pre-1985 homes, a partially closed main shutoff, or a failing pressure-reducing valve. If the pressure is low throughout the house, call us, don’t assume it’s the showerhead. We diagnose before recommending any repair.
How often should I have my plumbing inspected?
Schedule a plumbing inspection every 1–2 years for homes under 30 years old. For homes over 30 years old — especially Greenville homes built before 1985 — annual inspections catch the small failures (corroded shutoffs, aging water heater anodes, slow sewer line buildup) before they become expensive emergencies. A sewer camera inspection every 3–5 years is smart in neighborhoods with mature trees.
Do you repair gas lines?
Yes. We are licensed for natural gas line work in South Carolina. If you smell gas, leave the home immediately and call 911 and your gas provider before calling us. Once the line is safe, we pressure-test, repair, and obtain the required permit for any gas line work.
What is backflow prevention?
A backflow preventer stops contaminated water from flowing backward into the clean water supply. The City of Greenville requires annual backflow testing for properties with irrigation systems, additional water meters, or commercial plumbing. We are certified backflow testers and installers.
Can you fix a running toilet the same day?
Yes. A running toilet is almost always a failed flapper or fill valve — a 20–30 minute repair. We carry common replacement parts for American Standard, Kohler, Mansfield, and TOTO toilets on our trucks. Same-day service is available for most Greenville addresses. Cost: $115–$275 depending on the toilet model.
Do you repair septic tanks?
Yes. For Greenville County homes outside city sewer service particularly in rural areas north of Travelers Rest and in parts of Pickens County, we diagnose septic issues including drain field problems, inlet baffle failure, and tank overfill. We recommend septic pumping every 3–5 years based on household size.
