Whittles Plumbing
5.0(42 reviews on Google)
1306 E Commerce St, Greenville
(334) 368-8930Plumbers in Greenville share one habit: every shop on the page works drains. Drain cleaning appears across all three businesses, Whittles Plumbing, Plumbmedics, and Mc Gough Plumbing, and leak detection and repair runs close behind on two of the three cards. For a town where the shops are few, the everyday specialties are well covered.
Whittles Plumbing carries the deepest review file, a 5.0 from 42 reviews, with stories of quick saves: one customer called midday and left with the needed repairs done plus a recommended water heater replaced, all handled fairly, and after hours calls are part of the file. Whittles Plumbing also works sewer lines, which pairs with its drain cleaning for problems that run deeper than a single fixture.
Plumbmedics holds a 5.0 from 10 reviews and serves the 334 area with licensed, insured plumbers backed by a satisfaction guarantee. Its list is the widest diagnostic one in town: leak detection and repair using advanced tools to find leaks in pipes, fixtures, and slabs, drain cleaning for sinks, tubs, toilets, and main lines, tankless water heaters, and repiping. Mc Gough Plumbing, at 4.4 from 12 reviews, brings over 50 years of experience and takes both residential jobs and larger commercial issues.

Hiring a plumber in Greenville: local notes
Wiregrass and Southeast Alabama — Dothan and the peanut-and-pine country along the Georgia and Florida lines.
What the climate does here
- Sandy loam soils drain fast after the region's thunderstorms, but they also shift, which moves shallow sewer laterals and septic lines more than homeowners expect.
- Hard freezes are uncommon, not impossible — the December 2022 arctic burst burst pipes and backflow preventers across the Wiregrass exactly like it did upstate.
- Outside Dothan and Enterprise, private wells and septic systems carry most of the load, so well pumps, pressure tanks and drainfield lines are the rural bread-and-butter calls.
- Summer storms dump inches in an afternoon; drainage swales and yard line problems cluster in the low spots of older neighborhoods.
Before you sign
- In the small towns, ask whether the plumber also works on wells and septic lines — many do, and it saves a second contractor on rural properties.
- For irrigation and pool lines, ask about a winterization visit; the region's rare freezes catch systems that were never drained.
- Ask for the company's state registration and the individual's certification level — apprentice, journeyman or master — before any quote is scheduled.
- Check the certificate in the Board's own business search; the record here shows the license number and issue date, the Board shows the current status.
- Confirm who pulls the permit for anything beyond a like-for-like swap, and make the inspection schedule part of the written estimate.
Licensing: Plumbing is a state-certified trade in Alabama: the Plumbers & Gas Fitters Examining Board certifies every level from apprentice to master, and registered companies must carry a Principal Master. City building departments add local licenses and pull permits for code-covered work. Verify a license in the Board's business search (status and expiration live there, not here) — see Alabama Plumbers & Gas Fitters Examining Board. Before any job that digs, Alabama 811 locates buried lines free.
Common questions about plumbers in Greenville
Who unclogs drains and clears main lines in Greenville?
All three shops carry drain cleaning. Plumbmedics describes clearing blockages in sinks, tubs, toilets, and main lines, and Mc Gough Plumbing carries drain cleaning beside its remodel work. Whittles Plumbing and Plumbmedics both work sewer lines too, so a problem that runs past a single fixture stays in town.
Which Greenville plumbers take after hours calls?
Whittles Plumbing and Plumbmedics both keep 24/7 emergency service. Whittles Plumbing's file includes after hours callouts, and its 5.0 from 42 reviews is the deepest record in town. Plumbmedics serves the 334 area with licensed, insured plumbers. Between the two, an overnight failure in Greenville has cover.
Who installs tankless water heaters or repipes a house in Greenville?
Plumbmedics is the shop for both: tankless water heaters and repiping are on its list, alongside standard water heater installation and repair. Whittles Plumbing covers water heater work as well, and its reviews include a recommended water heater replaced during a repair call. Mc Gough Plumbing's contribution is the remodel side, where new fixtures meet old pipes.
Do any Greenville plumbers offer financing or free estimates?
Plumbmedics offers financing under a satisfaction guarantee, and Mc Gough Plumbing works from free estimates, so a kitchen or bathroom remodel can be scoped before any commitment is made. Between the two, the money side of a bigger job has two different doors in town.
Where else can I compare plumbers near Greenville?
Prattville, Montgomery, Clanton, Enterprise, and Wetumpka all carry their own pages, so a household in Greenville can widen the search through the surrounding towns without running out of options.
How do I check a plumber's certification in Alabama?
Ask the business for its license number, then look it up in the Board's own business search. Listing pages on this directory show the license number and the year it was issued where a Board record exists; the Board's search is where the current status lives, so check there before you hire.
Do plumbers in the Wiregrass handle wells and septic systems?
Often, yes. Outside Dothan, Enterprise and Ozark, most homes rely on private wells and septic systems, so area plumbers commonly service well pumps, pressure tanks and septic line plumbing alongside town water and sewer work. Confirm it on the call — the listing tiles show what each business confirms, and a quick question covers the rest.
