Greenwood's most reliable plumber. Upfront pricing, always answers, always shows up. Serving all of Greenwood County.
Greenwood is our largest and busiest service market outside Abbeville. Too many Greenwood residents have called a plumber who never showed up, or gotten a surprise bill for twice what they were quoted. Plumbing Paramedic 911 does business differently: upfront Good / Better / Best pricing, in-house financing on larger jobs, a 2-year parts and labor warranty, and a real human who answers the phone 24/7 at (864) 446-8911.
Owner Eric Callaway is a South Carolina Master Plumber (license M114506) with 30 years in the trade. We serve every Greenwood ZIP code — 29646, 29647, and 29649 — including all neighborhoods around Self Regional Healthcare, Lander University, Uptown Greenwood, and the rural stretches toward Ware Shoals, Hodges, and Troy.
Greenwood Commissioners of Public Works (CPW) draws raw water from Lake Greenwood and treats it at the W.R. Wise Water Treatment Plant — 33 MGD capacity, in operation since 1961. The utility serves about 55,875 residents across 180 square miles and wholesales water to Ninety Six and Ware Shoals. The 2024 Consumer Confidence Report shows hardness averaging 2.2 grains per gallon — classified soft. Soft water is easy on your tank water heater, but the combination of soft, mildly alkaline, low-alkalinity water is weakly corrosive toward copper. That's why we see pinhole copper leaks as a recurring service-call pattern in 30+ year-old Greenwood homes.
Here's something most Greenwood homeowners don't know: inside Greenwood city limits, sewer is operated by Greenwood Metropolitan District — not CPW. When a main line backs up and the city needs to be involved, that's the right phone call. We diagnose your private side first, determine whether the problem is on your property or in the public sewer, and document everything if it turns out to be a city issue.
Greenwood CPW's October 2024 lead service line inventory identified about 24,400 total service lines: 16,600 confirmed non-lead, 1,200 galvanized requiring replacement, and 6,600 unknown. Under the federal Lead and Copper Rule Improvements, all lead and galvanized-requiring-replacement lines must be replaced by 2037. Homeowners in older sections of Greenwood may be contacted by CPW about service line material — we can inspect your side of the meter and document your service line material type.
CPW's updated Cross Connection Control Manual (January 2025) requires approved backflow assemblies on all fire lines, commercial services with hazards, and all irrigation connections. Backflow preventers must be installed 24 inches to 6 feet downstream of the meter and tested annually by an SCDES-certified tester. We provide the annual testing and file the certification directly with CPW.
Every neighborhood: Uptown Greenwood (widest main street in America), the Lander University area, around Self Regional Healthcare on Spring Street, Emerald High School area, Magnolia Trace, the Eastside, Grace Street Historic District, Country Club Road, out toward Mathews, Hodges, and Troy. Major employers we've served include Self Regional Healthcare, Lander University, Fujifilm Manufacturing, Eaton, Capsugel/Lonza, Ascend Performance Materials, VELUX, Park Seed, and the Greenwood Genetic Center.
A specific window of Greenwood homes built between roughly 1978 and 1995 was plumbed with polybutylene supply piping — gray plastic pipe with brass or acetal fittings. These pipes fail catastrophically over time. The Cox v. Shell Oil and Spencer v. DuPont class action settlements have both expired, so out-of-pocket repipe is now the only remedy. If you're in that age bracket, we inspect, document, and quote repipe with in-house financing available.
Don't wait. Call now. We answer 24/7 and give you upfront pricing before we touch a wrench.
