A licensed Master Plumber on every job

Ethical Plumbing is a licensed Upstate plumbing company serving Spartanburg homes and businesses. We repair and replace water heaters, clear and repair drains and sewer lines, find hidden leaks and repipe older homes, with written prices before any work. Call 864-438-0525.
Spartanburg grew up around its textile mills and railroads, and a lot of its housing still reflects that. Historic neighborhoods like Converse Heights and Hampton Heights have homes from the early 1900s, and mill villages around the city have small homes on crawl spaces that have been updated piece by piece over the decades. In these houses we often find a mix of cast iron, galvanized, copper and newer PEX, sometimes all in the same crawl space, and the joints between old and new are where leaks start.
Newer subdivisions toward Boiling Springs, Inman and along the I-26 and I-85 corridors mostly have modern pipe, so the common calls there are water heaters, tankless upgrades, fixtures and drain cleaning. Mature trees in older neighborhoods mean roots in clay sewer lines, which we find with a camera and clear or replace.
We work across the city and nearby communities, including:

Spartanburg Water supplies most of the area from three connected reservoirs: Lake Bowen, Municipal Reservoir #1 and Lake Blalock, treated at its R.B. Simms and Whitlock plants. Spartanburg Water also runs much of the area’s sewer system.
As in most of the Upstate, the utility owns the water line up to the meter and the sewer main in the street. The water line from the meter to your house and the private sewer line from your house out to the main are generally the homeowner’s, and those are the lines we repair and replace. Outside the service area, many rural homes run on private wells and septic systems, which we also work on.

See the full jobEvery job starts with a diagnosis from a licensed Master Plumber, not a sales pitch. We explain what we found in plain terms, show you the options side by side, and put the prices in writing before anything starts. If a repair makes more sense than a replacement, we say so.
We treat your home like a job site that people live in: shoe covers on, work area protected, cleaned up before we leave, and a walkthrough of what we did. Ethical Plumbing has served the Upstate for 16+ years, and our team brings 100+ years of combined plumbing experience. You can meet our plumbers or read what customers say.
Every review here is from a real customer. Names are shortened for privacy.
Every single experience has been smooth and professional. They always arrive on time, diagnose issues quickly, and explain repair options clearly without pushing unnecessary services. Exceptional work and fair pricing every time.
Another plumbing company had already quoted us $10,000 to $15,000. I called Ethical for a second opinion. Dominick ran a camera down the line, found the real problem in a compromised section of old terra cotta sewer pipe, and showed me the footage. His quote came in around $4,000, and he finished the repair that same day.
They exchanged our old water heat tank with a tankless water heater and repiped the crawl space. Ivan and Asher did the whole work within less than two days. We felt treated with respect, everything was explained well and they left everything clean.
