Excellent work.  Manny came out and replaced a couple of clogged sprinkler heads with ones that covered the area better.  He checked out and adjusted all zones and made very good sprinkler head change recommendations which worked much better than those originally installed.  All in all, very professional, helpful and easy to work with, I'll definitely call Superior Irrigation out again with my future sprinkler plans.  Thanks

Short story: Great guy and great plumber.

Full story: We had flow restriction and low water pressure at my home, like two faucets open would be zero pressure. I figured it was a bad Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) and Mike came by to replace it. Since the home was built in 1998, the small live oaks when it was built are now big and had wrapped roots all around the thing. Mike went through 4-5 sawzall blades but was finally able to cut it free and replace it. Only problem was, that wasn't the only issue and we still had restricted flow.

Mike trouble shot and worked through all the possibilities, finally concluding that we had dirt or rocks in the line from when a previous plumber had replaced the owner's cutoff. He rigged up his shop vac to clear the lines and now I am back to having plenty of pressure and supply.

I figured he would've split after doing the job he was hired for but he spent several more hours making sure I was back to normal.

He's got a new customer for whatever plumbing jobs come up in our future. His dog Evie is great, too.

Our journeyman plumber, Brayan Mercado, was excellent. He explained what was happening with our inferior water pressure, correctly diagnosed the issue and repaired it in the same visit. He even gave me some helpful suggestions that I could do to further keep things in good shape. Brayan was very pleasant to work with and very capable! Thanks for such a good experience!

So this morning !
(a Sunday no less) my commode stops up. I try the plunger more than once and of course it wouldn't flush. I called two plumbing services and was quoted anywhere from a $125 service charge plus $250 to fix the issue. That works out to $ 375 for Sunday service in case you didn't add it up. I sure did. Then I happened to call Iconic and not only did Mason try to help me fix the issue over the phone ( at no charge ) he came to my house and was friendly, explained the issue which he also fixed in short order and charged me LESS than the service call from the other companies. Are you kidding me.......on a Sunday ; This guy is now my full time plumber !

Cody and Kim are a great team. They were responsive and communicative throughout our entire working relationship. I am a real estate agent and I work with many different vendors, and Larry's Septic Tank Service sets the bar for quality service and professionalism. I will recommend them every time for anyone who needs septic help in the east side of Austin and Cedar Creek areas. You can't go wrong working with these guys!

Kelly Williams Plumbing, installed a cast iron bathtub in San Marcos, and did a great job. Great customer service and office dispatch! They live up to their word.

I want to thank Jacob, who saved me $$ and time, and also did wonderful things for my self confidence as a craftsman.
So, I am an aspiring handyman whose ambition at times outruns my ability.
I wanted to install a recirculating pump to save water, as it used to take a long time to get hot water at our master bathroom shower and sinks. I carefully followed all directions in the water heater owner's manual and the pump, and was able to eventually install the pump so it looks like in the pictures (albeit after many grunts, groans, lots of sweating, and mild cursing). It seems the older I get the less able I am to work under my sink!
Next, I went back to the water heater to turn it on. I again followed all the instructions on the owner's manual, but the pilot light wouldn't light. I tried it several times, and had give up hope of getting it lit without replacing parts. I even looked at videos on how to replace the igniter. Not too terribly difficult, but I've been there before. I'm superb at taking things apart, but not so good at putting them back together.
I finally decided I needed professional help, and looked on Yelp. Immediately, I got a response from Jacob, who talked me thru the procedure, verifying I had done everything right. It was tough, as we had a bad connection, and he was in the middle of a job. He offered to call me right back; while waiting, I went back to my heater, but kept the lights off so I could see the inside the igniter window. This time, I was able to see the spark, and even got the pilot to light briefly, though it shut off again. Right about then, Jacob got back to me, and helped me troubleshoot.
We went through the steps together, and this time the pilot stayed lit, and when I turned the thermostat on the heater, we got the big flame and whoosh, and not it's working just fine.
Thank you Jacob. You helped me repair my water heater from miles away, avoiding a trouble call from you (and $$), and avoided me trying to replace a part that was working just fine. In today's world, where so often people are less than honest, it's refreshing to find someone like you. Thank you.

Had the pleasure of having Make It Drain (David) swap out my Water Heater after the first Arctic Blast of 2015 scared it into submission.  David was LEGIT, was able to swap out the Water Heater and explained how it worked...by that I mean: this is the first Gas Water Heater I've ever owned, it is foreign to me how these things work.  Nevertheless,  I was given a quick 101 on them and the Water Heater was swapped out pretty quick! He was even able to do a quick side job on a running outdoor faucet for a really reasonable price.  He owns his own business, so his schedule is pretty flexible, he will even call you the day before to concern and even makes great conversation.  Highly recommend this guy!

Kimco Plumbing did great work today. They took care of the leak I was having under my Kitchen sink and they also figured out the other issues with my plumbing. They came up with a clear and concise plan of action to take care of everything that was going on.  Jason, Sam, and Levi were all great and I would highly recommended hiring them for all of your plumbing needs.

I hired Bruce Gault of Affordable Plumbing to have all of my plumbing replaced in my 900 sqft cottage.
He completely ignored the schematic, putting the kitchen pipes in the wrong place so I couldn't install my cabinets.  When I contacted him, he said that he didn't even look at the schematic and charged me and additional $210 to move one water line two inches over so that my cabinet would fit.  When I called for the final inspection (which he didn't even show up for), I had six fails on his plumbing.  He wanted to charge me again to fix his errors, after already paying him over $4800 for my 2x1 cottage.  Seriously, he wanted to charge additional to bring his plumbing up to code. The quality of his work is phenomenally poor.  Mind you, this was a complete renovation and he worked from the studs, no drywall or obstacles.  I hired another plumber to come in and fix his mistakes.  This is absolutely the worst contractor I have ever worked with.  The pictures of my project are AFTER he completed the job.  BEWARE

I typically avoid writing bad reviews. But I just have to throw this out there...If you have any sort of problem that requires immediate attention, or attention that you scheduled, find another provider. I took two days off work waiting for these people to show up. Figured we'd be safe going with a national chain, I was sorely mistaken. Back to Thumbtack we go!

I am a repeat customer of Gold Star Leak Repair. I had a leak in my pool and they were here within a day to fix it. I was really impressed with the service and their attention to detail. They also installed a brand new pool pump after my old one had failed, and I'm so glad they were able to come out so quickly! I had been having trouble with my pool for a while and it was just too much to handle. They came to the rescue!

Was impressed with the work done, had a water heater replaced. was given info care of the heater. always available to answer questions

I have been using Scott for about 15 years and my parents have used him longer and my grandmother even used him. He is VERY knowledgeable and helpful. Extremely honest and ethical. I trust him completely and he does a good job. If he can't do it, he will tell you and give you referals.

I needed an additional sink installed at my business. Reggie came out and gave me a bid. He was very thorough in his explanation of what he would do and why. Because of how thorough he was, I went with his bid, which was very competitive. He worked quickly and did excellent work. The place was as clean after he finished as it was before. I highly recommend Patterson Plumbing.

Needed to replace the drain line from house to sewer; they used shovels to dig up the old and dig a new trench instead of power equipment. Took days, works adequate but the bill was padded to cover three people who worked less than 3 hours. 30% more than the bill should have been. Will not use again. Left some areas needing further attention after completing the plumbing work. Decent work but will gouge you with the bill. Not a good neighborhood business to call on.
