Hello Ladson

Get to know Swell Guy Plumbing

Meet Steven Dyson: Owner & Licensed Plumber
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.
The Story Behind the Name
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.
Our services include:
• Water Heaters & Tankless Systems
• Drain Cleaning & Sewer Line Repair
• Natural Gas Lines
• Backflow Testing & Repairs
• General Residential & Commercial Plumbing.

Next time you need a trusted Ladson plumber, give Swell Guy Plumbing a call. My goal is simple: after the job is done, I want you to say, “My plumber a Swell Guy!”

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.

Swell Guy Plumbing offers transparent price ranges for many of our services which can be viewed on our website. We do not give prices over the phone because we have to look at the job first to give you a definite price.

No. Swell Guy Plumbing does not work with home warranty companies.

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.
