Why Do Lowcountry Homeowners Trust Swell Guy Plumbing?
From Goose Creek and Hanahan over to Summerville, Ladson, Moncks Corner, and North Charleston, I’ve spent nearly three decades fixing local plumbing issues—from failing water heaters and tankless upgrades to corroded pipes and backed-up main drains. We treat your home like our neighbor's, show up on time, post our prices upfront, and fix the problem right the first time.
Get to know Swell Guy Plumbing
Born and raised in Hanahan, SC, I’m a lifelong Lowcountry resident. After graduating from The Citadel in 1995 and serving in the U.S. Army and Army National Guard, I earned my plumbing license in 1997. Today, I call Summerville home and operate Swell Guy Plumbing Co. right out of Goose Creek, SC.
You might assume "Swell Guy" just means a friendly plumber—and while I aim to be one, the name actually has a deeper story. In 2023, I was diagnosed with spondyloarthritis, an auto-immune condition causing severe joint swelling (hence the pufferfish in our logo). Doctors thought I might have to hang up my wrench for good. But thanks to modern medicine and a drive to keep moving, I’m right back doing the work I’ve loved for nearly three decades.
You won’t find me hiding behind a desk. I’m out getting my hands dirty every day in the Lowcountry heat (and sometimes cold). Hard work keeps me sharp, keeps me active, and gives me the opportunity to get to know our valued customers better.
We proudly serve the Charleston Lowcountry area—including Goose Creek, Hanahan, Ladson, Moncks Corner, North Charleston, and Summerville.
Our services include:
• Water Heaters & Tankless Systems
• Drain Cleaning & Sewer Line Repair
• Natural Gas Lines

Next time you need a trusted plumber, give Swell Guy Plumbing a call. My goal is simple: after the job is done, I want you to say, “My plumber is a Swell Guy!”
Our $45 dispatch fee counts toward your actual repair or service
We believe in doing right by our neighbors. That’s why our $45 dispatch fee isn't an extra add-on charge—every nickel of it goes straight toward the total cost of your repair or service.
And remember: plumbing problems don’t cure themselves. They’ll just keep swelling until they burst (just like the pufferfish in our logo).
Don't wait for a small leak or slow drain to turn into a middle-of-the-night disaster. Give us a call or schedule online today, and let's get it taken care of before it turns into a major catastrophe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our $45 dispatch/scheduling fee simply covers getting our truck and plumber to your door.
A separate diagnostic fee is applied if we have to spend time uncovering a hidden issue—such as isolating a hard-to-find leak, testing internal components on a tankless water heater, or running a sewer camera.
Fortunately, 95% of the time, we can pinpoint the issue in under 10 minutes and won't charge a diagnostic fee at all. Our goal is to fix your plumbing problem, not nickel-and-dime you before we even shake hands.
Swell Guy Plumbing Co charges a $45 dispatch/scheduling fee (during normal service hours) to visit your property. The $45 counts towards any work we perform.
We don't quote exact prices over the phone because every house is built differently. We need to physically inspect the setup first to give you an accurate, fixed price before starting work.

Spending long hours working in the Lowcountry sun means constant UV exposure. After having two basal cell carcinomas removed from my right ear, protecting my skin became a priority. Applying sunscreen constantly and wearing wide-brim hats gets tricky while doing hands-on plumbing work, so I switched to UV-rated hoodies. The neon color is just a bonus—I like bright colors, and it makes me easy to spot!
No. Swell Guy Plumbing is 100% local and the owner is a lifelong Lowcountry resident.
