Our water heater went out over Labor Day weekend, and Scott Cole Plumbing came to the rescue. We called and Scott took the call right away and was very clear, honest and straight forward about what needed to be done, how much it would cost and when he could send someone out. His communication was on point. We were…

I have been using Scott Cole Plumbing since 2021 and have nothing but good things to say about Scott and his company. They have installed water heaters, new shut off valves, as well as perform the yearly maintenance for our water heaters. Fast service, respectful of the properties, reasonably priced, and fast response times. Highly recommend.

I got a slab leak on my 32 year old house and rather than repair it and hope I don't get another, I decided to just look into a repipe with PEX. I called Scott and he was very helpful and transparent, even offering competitors in the area for me to look at. I actually used AI to help vet some, including Scott, and…

Was leaving for work when I stepped into a flooded garage. My water heater was done. Scott and team was on it replaced it for a good price but more importantly he was thorough and did great work. He took the time to explain everything, really appreciate the hone he did.

Having a slab leak was not on my bingo card for 2025 - especially in the middle of an already chaotic year. We were incredibly lucky our leak was minimal with no damage and wanted to ensure we never had another one, so we opted to not repair our leak but repipe our house so we no longer had water running through…
