"From the historic homes along Broad Street and Between the Rivers to new construction across Floyd County and the businesses downtown — Allen Craven and Craven's Plumbing Specialist bring 25+ years and a craftsman's care to every job."
Rome is the largest city in Northwest Georgia and the seat of Floyd County — a place built on seven hills at the meeting of the Etowah and Oostanaula rivers, where they join to form the Coosa. From the historic storefronts and clock tower along Broad Street downtown, to the Victorian homes of the Between the Rivers district, to the sprawling campus of Berry College and the newer subdivisions spreading toward Armuchee and Shannon, Rome offers some of the most varied housing in the region. Craven's Plumbing Specialist — owned and operated by Allen Craven, a licensed plumber with more than 25 years of experience in the Rome trade — is based right here and serves homes and businesses throughout Rome and all of Northwest Georgia.
Allen has worked on just about every kind of property the Rome area has to offer — century-old homes near downtown, mid-century houses on the hills, commercial buildings along Broad Street, and brand-new construction in the growing subdivisions around Floyd County. That range of hands-on experience means he knows how local homes are actually plumbed, how they age, and where problems tend to hide. With a 5.0-star rating across more than 40 Google reviews, Craven's has built its reputation one honest job at a time.
What sets Craven's Plumbing Specialist apart is the depth of experience behind every job and the simple standard Allen built the company on: do the work right, charge a fair price, and answer the phone when people need help. Allen and his crew handle both residential and commercial plumbing — from water heaters and drain-and-sewer work to gas lines and whole-home filtration — with strict code compliance and the kind of fast response Rome customers rave about, often on site within about 20 minutes for a true emergency.
Owning a home in the Rome area comes with its own plumbing realities that an experienced local plumber knows to watch for. Many of the older homes near downtown and in the historic districts still carry aging galvanized or cast-iron pipe, original fixtures, and water heaters near the end of their lives — while Northwest Georgia's hard water quietly builds scale in pipes and appliances across newer and older homes alike. Add in mature trees whose roots find their way into older sewer lines, clay-heavy soil, and the occasional hard freeze, and it's easy to see why local know-how matters when something goes wrong beneath a Rome home.
That's exactly why Rome-area homeowners and businesses call Craven's. You get a licensed and insured plumber with 25+ years in the Rome trade, fair and up-front pricing on everything from a minor repair to a major overhaul, a 100% satisfaction guarantee backed by parts and labor warranties, and 24-hour emergency service Monday through Friday for the problems that can't wait. When you're trusting someone with the plumbing in one of your biggest investments, that combination of local experience and honest service makes all the difference. Call or text Allen at (706) 767-0142 to schedule your Rome plumbing service.

"Allen Craven at Craven Plumbing is a great plumber!! We were having problems with our Water Heater (it was 17 years old) and Allen was able to come out on the same day! I thought we would just be getting an estimate but Allen was able to install a new water heater that afternoon! To be honest I had a great time just chatting with Allen and Fred as they worked. Allen went above and beyond to make sure our house had hot water before he left. Highly recommended."

"We had an emergency come up with our water heater on the weekend at night and left message on Facebook with Cravens Plumbing. Owner responded quickly and after gave us an estimate and time to be on site the next morning. He showed up on time and conducted the work accurately and quickly. Charged exactly what was quoted (no additional work was needed for extra charges for unforeseen issues) for the job. He and his associate were friendly, answered questions and got the job done quickly for hot water for the house. I would 100% recommend this company to anyone with plumbing issues."
