Evie is AMAZING. Thorough. Punctual. Great communication. Explains everything. Couldn't give higher praise. She is the plumber we've been looking for for years.
James Columbus, OH
We were very pleased with her work that she did for us. She is very friendly and polite. What really made me respect her is that she was going to be a little late because of a flat tire and she had the decency to call us to let us know. Not many people would do that. I will give her number to anyone that needed a plumber.

Katy Columbus, OH
“Friendly, hardworking, fast, thorough, affordable. They beat the breaks off another quote I got from a neighbor referral. They got me a quote within 20 minutes of my call and installed next business day from my decision. Greg is super friendly, and Kevin is a no nonsense installer. Thanks so much!

Evangelynn and her team were welcoming and honest. They treated my house with respect and I do greatly appreciate them coming to my house.
Naomi Worthington, Oh
Shorty’s plumbing was right on time & did an amazing job with an installation of a new toilet. Price was very good and service was excellent. Will not hesitate to call upon them for future plumbing services.
Anna Columbus, OH
Shorty's plumbing went above and beyond in fixing an issue I was having. The communication was excellent and the service call was exactly what was promised. I would not hesitate to use Shorty's again and highly recommend them. My service call with Shorty's was after a failed visit by one of the "big" companies that left me with a big bill and the problem not resolved.

Water Line Repair Columbus FAQ
You've got questions? We have Answers!
Before you call for plumbing, here are the answers to homeowners most asked questions.
Common signs of a main water line problem include unexpectedly low water pressure throughout your home, wet or soggy patches in your yard when it hasn't rained, a water bill that's suddenly higher than normal, or discolored water at your taps. Any one of these is worth having a licensed Columbus plumber assess — caught early, main line issues are usually far less expensive to repair. Shorty's offers honest diagnostics so you know exactly what's going on before spending a dollar on repairs.
Whole home repiping means replacing all or most of your home's water supply pipes — typically recommended when a Columbus home has galvanized steel pipes that have corroded from the inside, when leaks are recurring in multiple locations, or when water pressure and quality have declined throughout the house. It's a larger investment, but often far more cost-effective than repeatedly patching an aging system. We'll give you an honest assessment of whether your home actually needs it or whether targeted repairs make more sense.

Things Columbus Homeowners Should Know About Water Lines:
- Columbus has a significant number of homes built between 1940 and 1975 that still have original galvanized steel pipes. These pipes corrode from the inside out over time, leading to reduced water pressure, rust-colored water, and eventually leaks — repiping is often the most cost-effective long-term solution for these homes.
- The clay-heavy soil throughout Franklin County expands when wet and contracts when dry, creating seasonal ground movement that puts ongoing stress on underground water lines — particularly at joints and connection points.
We're proud to provide water line repair and replacements for:
- Columbus
- Westerville
- Dublin
- Hilliard
- Grove City
- Gahanna
