Best Businesses in Texas

I just moved into a new house with a sprinkler system and when I turned them on, I noticed two of the heads were broken. I looked at Yelp reviews and finally decided to give Superior a call to see if they could come out and do an inspection to see what I should do to get it in tip top shape. They were very accommodating and came out within two days. The inspection took less than an hour. They identified the broken heads and a leaking pipe. They fixed everything in a timely manner and pricing was very fair. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

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!

Jimmy and Mason went above and beyond to gain me as a customer.  I first had the pleasure of dealing with Mason over the phone (who has merged All Around Home Services with Jimmy at Iconic Plumbing to form a super customer focused, affordable and detail oriented plumbing company.) It was Jimmy who showed up on a Saturday to install my complicated faucet, garbage disposal, cook top and dishwasher. He started with the 6 burner cook top...then on his own, he gifted us with a gas leak alarm to give me extra piece of mind since I have four children and a gas leak is something I fear.  I had ordered a part from Amazon on my own that wasn't here yet so he actually left and came back a few hours later to finish the job after my part showed up.  He even ran to Home Depot to get parts that I thought I had available for him but didn't.  These are very honest guys and I am so grateful to have found them.  They have a customer for life and I highly recommend this company.

We were considering buying a property and were not familiar with the area as we were moving from out of state. Not being familiar with septic systems (city dwellers all our lives), we wanted a thorough inspection so we could get accurate report on the current state of the system. Our realtor provided a couple of names and when I looked up the reviews for Larry's Septic Tank Service, I decided to give them a call. We set up an appointment for the inspection.

As you can read in the other reviews, Cody is a rock star! When we rolled up to the property (a few minutes early) , Cody and crew were already there and started. He identified some issues with the system - some minor, some not so minor. He took time to explain how the system works and made sure I had a basic understanding. He also explained the issues he found, the severity, and how they should be addressed. Lets just say it was obvious some of the issues just didn't occur naturally.... Due to this, I insisted that Cody do the repairs in order for the sale of the property to go through.

Cody was able to complete all the work in a very timely manner. We closed escrow and were able to move in on time with peace of mind.

I will definitely use Cody for all my septic needs in the future.

I highly recommend Kelly Williams.  They are professional and prompt.  I've had them replace the guts of our class 5 flushing toilets, hook up my ice maker and water dispenser to the RO.  When I moved back into my home, they took care of the damage done by renters. I trust them and greatly appreciate their work.

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.

David from Make It Drain made a frustrating experience with my Home Warranty company so much smoother. He walked me through the process that my warranty claim would require and patiently worked with the warranty company to get my claim covered (he is a much more patient person than me). He came back to my house multiple times without complaint (as the warranty process is not a quick one) and ultimately replaced my toilet with a brand new one. Great guy - thanks, David!

Also, how awesome is the name Make It Drain?!

I was really happy with Kimco Plumbing. They answered their phone, showed up to the job on time, they offered me 2 solutions to my problem and had the correct parts stocked on the truck and finished the job in a timely manor. Plus their price was fair. David was the plumber that helped us, he was knowledgeable professional and skilled. I would highly recommend this company!

I use Affordable Plumbing for my smaller plumbing jobs.  One weekend, we had to shut off the main water line to our house due to a broken shower handle in our second bathroom.  Affordable Plumbing was the only place that would come out on a Sunday, and he didn't charge us a huge emergency rate.  He had to cut through our drywall to access the pipes from the back side, but he had everything fixed and our water back on in less than two hours.  

I only gave him four stars because he typically does not always have the right parts for common fixes.  Given that he is one man show, this is understandable.  For my bigger jobs I use S&D plumbing, but for common easy repairs I call Affordable Plumbing as he is not as expensive.

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!

Gold Star Leak and Repair is a scam. Do yourself a favor and do not waste your money on a phoney leak detection. The technicians don't have the right equipment and Gold Star is incapable of producing a report of findings that is actionable for any repair. You will then find that they don't response to texts, emails and phone calls after they have your money. They are basically committing fraud by positioning themselves as a pool leak detection and repair company.

Clean, professional, and on time service. Extremely knowledgeable, and fair prices for level of expertise. Will be using as my go-to plumbing company from here on out, and will recommend to anyone in need of plumbing services.

Some recent issues have got me downgrading the stars. Poor toilet installation being the main issue.
Hoping Scott will get back on track.

Reggie installed a water heater in May of 2020. In December 2021, the water heater stopped heating. The pilot wouldn't stay light. I reached out to Reggie. He was unable to come take a look. I called another plumber and when they came out, they told me the water heater was not installed up to code. The clearance of the gas control valve from the door supposed to be 1, there is no pan drain, the t & p goes up hill, vent in attic was disconnected and leaking carbon monoxide into the attic. I informed Reggie of these things and his response was his warranty is for one year. I don't understand.. what does a  warranty have to do with it being improperly installed? He's supposed to be a professional plumber, shouldn't he be installing per code and safety. Thankfully no one was harmed because of his unsafe installation. I may escalate this to licensing because of his response to the issues brought to light. It should have been installed properly and I shouldn't have to pay someone else to fix these issues that I already paid Reggie for. He seems uninterested in making this right.

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.
