About Us

There is a very good reason we say ‘When you want it done right the first time, it’s PLUMB TIME’, because it is true!

Plumb Time Plumbing & Drain Services is the master plumber led, veteran owned company that Columbia and West Columbia families have called since 2006, built on Manny Anderson’s 28+ years in the plumbing trade. Manny runs the work, his wife Tanya runs the office, and between them every call gets answered by someone whose name is on the truck. Licensed three ways by the state of South Carolina, insured, and accountable: that is the whole story, and the rest of this page fills in the details.

About Us

What Hiring a Master Plumber Actually Means

A local, family, veteran owned & operated company proudly serving our neighbors here in Columbia, South Carolina. The Plumb Time LLC was formed in 2006, and the trade experience behind it runs deeper still: Manny Anderson has worked as a plumber for more than 28 years, earning his place as a master plumber Columbia SC homeowners request by name. Every license below is active, state issued, and verifiable, because trust should never be taken on faith.

Personalized Service You Can Count On

When you call Plumb Time Plumbing and Drain Service, you will always get personal service, because the person answering is Tanya Anderson herself. Tanya is not a receptionist reading from a script: she is the co-owner, a Desert Storm veteran like her husband, and the one who has fielded Plumb Time’s calls for years. She knows the schedule, knows the services, and can usually tell you what to expect before Manny ever picks up a wrench. Two veterans who served their country now serve the same customers, and that is what a veteran owned plumbing company means here in practice, not a badge on a website but the people on both ends of your job.

That structure changes how problems get handled. When the person taking your call and the master plumber doing your work share a last name, nothing falls between departments, nobody passes the buck, and a promise made on the phone is a promise kept in your home. It is also why so many customers reach Tanya by name on the second call. The complete satisfaction of our customers is our number one priority, and at Plumb Time, that priority has two names behind it.

Rooted in West Columbia, Serving the Whole Midlands

Two veterans with a master plumber’s license could have built this company anywhere. They built it on Delree Street in West Columbia, in the same community where they live, shop, and answer to their neighbors by name. That choice shapes everything: when your reputation is made over fences and in grocery store aisles instead of ad campaigns, the work has to speak for itself. Ask around on Nextdoor or at church and you will find Plumb Time recommended the old way, by people who have actually stood in their kitchen while Manny fixed something. Nearly twenty years of that, neighbor to neighbor, is how a local shop outlasts every franchise that rolls through town.

From Desert Storm to Delree Street: The Plumb Time Story

Before there was a company, there were two soldiers. Manny and Tanya Anderson both served in the United States Military during Desert Storm, and what they brought home shaped everything Plumb Time became: show up, do the job right, take responsibility, look after your people. Manny took that discipline into the plumbing trade, trained in Philadelphia, earned the John Hawkins Award, and worked his way to the top credential the state issues. In 2006 the two of them made it official and formed the LLC, a veteran owned plumbing company built to run the way they were trained to run things.

The name made the promise plain from day one: when something goes wrong with your plumbing, there should be no waiting, no wondering, and no runaround, because when you want it done right the first time, it is simply Plumb Time.

Nearly two decades of company history later, the structure has never changed. Manny holds three active South Carolina licenses and leads every job as the master plumber of record. Tanya runs the office and answers the calls. There are no layers between the customer and the owners, no franchise playbook, and no quota pushing a bigger invoice than the job deserves. The company also holds BBB accreditation with an A+ rating, third party standing you only keep by never giving anyone a reason to complain. The 28+ years of trade experience behind the company only counts because of how it gets used: a master plumber who has seen your problem before, telling you the truth about it.

That is the whole story, and it is why the slogan has never needed updating. When you want it done right the first time, it’s Plumb Time, and the master plumber behind that promise has been keeping it across Columbia and West Columbia since the day the first truck rolled.
