My name is Steven Dyson and I am the owner and licensed plumber at Swell Guy Plumbing Co. I am a lifelong Lowcountry resident, born and raised in Hanahan, SC. In 1995 I graduated from the Citadel, then served in the Army and Army National Guard. I’m also a husband and father who now calls Summerville, SC home.

In 1997 I became a licensed plumber. I learned the trade by working for an old school plumber during my summer breaks and any other free time I had throughout high school and college.

In case you thought the name Swell Guy refers to a really nice guy, it actually refers to uncontrolled and unexplained joint swelling caused by auto-immune arthritis. I was diagnosed with spondyloarthritis in 2023 after months of constant knee and ankle swelling. My wife started calling me “swell guy” and the name stuck. The pufferfish in the logo symbolizes my “nemesis spirit animal” because my joints would swell for no reason.

Plumbing is a physical job that doesn’t mix well with joint swelling. So I actually planned to get out of plumbing to find an easier profession. But thanks to an awesome rheumotologist and modern medicine, I’m feeling better than ever and I’m able to continue doing the work I’ve always enjoyed doing.

So now I’m back and trying to grow our company again, one customer at a time. At Swell Guy Plumbing Co, we value our loyal customers and we enjoy meeting our neighbors while helping them solve their plumbing problems. And hopefully, once you’ve used our service, you’ll say “my plumber is a Swell Guy”.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough good things about Steve! He came out the same day when we had an issue with our water heater and did an absolutely amazing job. He was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and got everything repaired quickly and correctly.

It’s not often you find someone who genuinely takes pride in their work and goes the extra mile for their customers. Steve was exactly that kind of professional. He made a stressful situation much easier and gave us peace of mind knowing the repair was done right.

I highly recommend Steve to anyone who needs plumbing or water heater work. Excellent service from start to finish!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Steven was great! We had an issue that resurfaced after 2 years and he was quick, prompt, and communicated extremely well to keep us informed on where we were at through the entire process. This is the only plumbing company we trust with our business. True, honest, and always willing to take care of the customer anyway possible!
