MTZ did a great job all around on a full sewer re-pipe of our home.  We had 65 yr old galvanized / iron sewer lines in our home that were starting to corrode, so we called a few plumbers on yelp to come diagnose the issue.  

MTZ responded in minutes and Tim came out for a free inspection within a couple days.  He spent about a hour inspecting our whole plumbing system (the two other plumbers who provided estimates spent about 10 minutes).  After his inspection, he explained everything he found, shared pictures from under the house, provided 3 project proposals at different price points, and explained the benefits of each.  It never felt like he was trying to up-sell anything that was unnecessary, but rather providing information and options.  Tim was also super responsive after he left, answering all of my many follow-up questions and working with me to finalized the plan.

We ended up doing a full sewer-side re-pipe from the drains to the property line.  They worked with us to schedule all the work while we were out of town for a week and coordinating everything through final inspection to be completed before we got back.  They sent photos from under the house showing all the new connections and lines, and also showing that they completely cleaned up our crawlspace of the junk previous contractors had left behind.  There were a couple of very minor issues that needed follow-up when we returned, but Hector came out the next day on a Sunday to fix those last issues.  

Overall, they did a great job and were extremely professional and responsive.  Highly recommend MTZ plumbing and will call them again in the future if needed.

I called Anar to come help with adding a new vent hole for my dryer in the garage. He responded very quickly and gave me a reasonable price and was able to do the job same day. Highly recommend for any work needed around the house!

Several years ago, I gave Matt a 5 star review. I am sad to see that his service oriented attitude seems to have fallen by the wayside. He has not responded to multiple contact attempts: phone, email, and text message. Even a response saying he was too busy would not have rated a one star. No response at all is not acceptable business practice.

Phil and his helper are the best plumbers I have ever used.  Not only professional, but on time when they say they'll be there, excellent work, care for your property while there, and beat everyone else's price.  If you need a plumber, I highly recommend Phil Garrison.  He also works on and installs septic systems and leech fields.  Call Phil, you won't be disappointed.

We had an issue with the power outlet for the refrigerator. AY EMP was very accommodative in scheduling the work and they were systematic and patient to find what the issue was. Will definitely be using their services again.

This review is long overdue, since Smart Plumbers has been our go-to team for anything having to do with our plumbing. They've helped us with lots of projects in the 18 years we've lived in this house, and we've always been happy with their response time, service, expertise, and pricing. When we first started working with them, Alex came out to work on things, from troublesome toilets to replacing our water heater, and he never failed to exceed expectations.

Then, Federico started coming out to answer our calls for help, and he's been WONDERFUL, even going so far as to fix issues that he knew would cause us trouble later. Just today, for example, we needed someone to deal with a clogged kitchen sink, which was compounded by a pipe that burst when we tried to get rid of the clog ourselves. So, yeah, we called Smart Plumbers and asked for Federico.

Immediately after examining the problem, Federico noticed that the pipe was missing a piece, so it wasn't sealed correctly. That's why it burst when we tried to unclog the drain ourselves. Even though it had been that way since the house was built, we didn't notice it because it had no reason to fail until the drain got clogged. He cleared the pipe, fixed the troublesome seal, and tested everything carefully before leaving today.

This is the kind of thing we've come to expect from Federico, who is always conscientious about his work, and then wraps up the job by ensuring we understand what he did to solve the problem. We appreciate that last part, because it helps us in preventing similar problems from happening later on. But when they do, if we can't handle the problem without help, we know we can depend on Smart Plumbers to work their magic.

if you are looking for a professional and honest plumbing company to work diligently to solve your leak issues or something as simple as changing out a toilet look no further this is the company you need to use!!!  I have had a long term leak and this company and especially Carlos have stayed diligent to locate the issue and and solved it!! it took several weeks however they stayed on it!   They do not just do a one and done - they stay close to the issue until they can confidently say the issue has been resolved!   Carlos would take texts from me at all times.  He truly is service!

Dan has helped us twice in the last three years.  He is honest and hardworking and excellent at what he does. He was able to work through complicated plumbing issues at a reasonable price. Absolutely recommend him.

Awesome company. They came in with a tightly organized team day one got right to work and were done and cleaned up by 4:00. They next day the wall patch duo repeated the excellent work.

I highly recommend this company!! Quality people doing quality work!

George is a great plumber. very knowledgeabl, clean and Reliable.

I've had a main water shut off value at the front of my home, which has been stuck open for some time(If need be I'd shut the water supply line off at the street for repairs).
I'm generally a DIY'er, so I purchased a ball valve with compression fittings to replace it myself. However, upon further examination, I realized I'd need to open the interior wall in the garage to access the water line in order to undo some hold down brackets(  to gain slack in the line to fit the new valve).
As the complexity/effort started growing in nature, I decided to contact Joel at Plumbing Solutions, to determine if there was an easier/less complicated solution. Joel stated that Armando was in the vicinity, returning from Alamo, and could stop by to give me a quote.
Armando arrived shortly thereafter, who was very professional/courteous and engaging. I explained my original thought process/issues and he arrived at an alternate solution, cutting, splicing, soldering in a new piece of copper waterline / ball valve, which negated the need for me to open up the interior garage wall.
The estimate/cost for the replacement was fair and I'm very happy with the quality of the work/Armando.

Definitely go with this company again for their professionalism and honesty.   Lee and Mary, what a pair of nice, trust-worthy people.  Fast in, fast out.  Do only what need to be done...  They treat you like a person, and not a business transaction (ie. trying to get the most revenue from you.)  For example Lee called out which services should be done by him (a prof plumber) vs Roto Rooter, an irrigation company, or  just my gardener. He explained the most effective solution that I can make the most of my bucks.  He even told me not to replace the pipes underneath the house because they are still in good shape (when i have no clue how good or bad they are, and want to replace as a prevention...)  My bill today could have been 10x more if Lee was not honest.  So thank you Lee!

Bellows tech Nathan M. did a fantastic job on behalf of Costco to install our reverse osmosis machine. Knowledgable, quick, helpful, skillful, professional. Will work with again!

I have been using Ser-All company for eighteen years. They just put a new one in for me yesterday and did a fine job. My installer Stevie was wonderful. Did a clean job and was a very nice installer. What a super good company. Thank you Jason for coming over and making sure everything was A OK after Stevie installed the system. Your company rocks!

I highly recommend Discount Plumbing! I called for an appointment for an emergency and was able to get a plumber within an hour! Angel was knowledgeable and very reasonable with price. He also followed Covid guidelines.  I will definitely use this company again!

Brian came out today to replace a broken gate valve on our main line.  He replaced it with a new ball valve which should not break as easily as the previous gate valve.  He was on time, quick, and very nice.  Price was reasonable too.

Our kitchen sink was clogged, I didn't want to cause any further damage so I contacted Dave's Plumbing Services. They arrived and within minutes they were able to fix the issue and even replaced my kitchen sink pipes. I appreciated them taking the time to walk me through the process and answering any questions we had. They definitely appreciate their clients and discounted me 10% for being a first time client which was a nice bonus, I was very happy with the results and will definitely contact them in the future!

Plumbing Nightmare (update still ongoing)
Update: two weeks later, there are still back and forth, and juggling about responsibilities. They try to absolve of any issue, but the hard fact is we have clogging on third floor toilet, while second floor and first floor toilets are absolutely fine. They put the snake all the way up to the main sewer line (well beyond the clogging point between 3rd and 2nd floor) and stuck it there.

Update: their director Ronny has reached out the next day and have been really helpful in owning the issue and checking with HOA about the best route to fix the issue. The issue might be a clog in the common area. Ronny and team has done a fantastic job to follow up and alleviate concerns on my side. Fingers crossed on resolving it finally.

I had a clogging in the restroom toilet. Morning at 10am, their technician Henry came over, and I explained to him that I have clog issue between third floor toilet and second floor bathroom sink. Henry proposed removing the toilet on the third floor, and use a snake. Seems like an easy job, so I agreed that he started.

One weird part though, Henry would not immediately start the job, instead he called his advisor for detailed instructions. That raised a bit of concerns to me, so I went over to another room, and talked to my wife that, I don't feel this guy is very confident, should we stop him there. Then we had a bit of discussion and thought that the job would be so simple and no need for replacement.

Turns out, Henry is so inexperienced he put the snake too far. I have explicitly stated that the clogging is between third floor bathroom toilet and second floor sink. Henry would put the snake all the way to the main pipe of the whole neighborhood - 75 feet down!

Henry then reaches out to his advisor. Advisor came and charged me 200 dollars for camera work to find out where the clogging is. Then proposed me to pay them 4500 dollars to dug up the neighborhood road (see the attached photo to see the spot they propose to solve the issue) and remove the clogging at site.

I later asked the opinion of another plumber. He mentioned that the problem is clearly within the house (as I specified that the clogging is only between third floor and second floor, while all other toilets are working fine). But the inexperience of Henry has caused the whole situation to develop into an episode of plumbing nightmare.
