Wow, fast response and did a great job to fix a broken sprinkler pipe.

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!

My elderly parent's toilet was clogged on a Saturday morning and Mason was able to squeeze in a visit in between calls. He was informative, professional, and very sensitive to the situation in order not to offend my elderly parent's dignity. He was a Saturday morning hero!

I'm so glad that we hired Cody to inspect the septic system on the property that we were considering purchasing. Not having a septic system or really knowing anything about it, we got lucky, as finding septic professionals doesn't seem to be the easiest endeavor!

We had an appointment scheduled for noon I think, but we live in Austin so we were planning to drive to Bastrop to meet him, leaving town at 11 am. Cody called around 9:30 or 10 to say that he was running ahead of schedule, that he would be arriving earlier than anticipated but that we didn't have to be there. Great! Not only was he on time, but a full hour early! Unfortunately, we ended up running an hour BEHIND, but despite the fact that we showed up two hours after he did, we found him to be friendly, helpful, and professional when we finally connected.

Sadly, there were some suspect issues with the septic system that was on the property... but Cody did a great job of explaining the issues at hand, as well as how a septic system works, so that we could easily understand the problems that we could potentially face by using the system in its current state.

Ultimately, we chose not to purchase the property when the seller refused to renegotiate the price based on Cody's findings. I feel so thankful for Cody's honesty with us, we could have easily trusted someone else telling us exactly the opposite, purchased the property, and had immediate issues, so thanks for helping us avert a disaster! I would call Cody again in a second if we ever needed any septic related services, and would highly recommend him to anyone I know!

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.

Great business. Pleasant but professional, competitive prices. We had a drain that was stopping up and they came the same day that I called them. They kept me posted about the time they would arrive. Finished the diagnostics and diagnosed the problem accurately and quickly. Don't hesitate to use them!

Our toilet was leaking & after being put on the back burner for a month by another plumbing company recommended by the home warranty service, we got changed to David at Make it Drain.

David made us a priority & was able to work with our schedule. He came immediately the next day & fixed our toilet.

Unfortunately, another part of our toilet was still broken, so he had to come back. But again, scheduling was relatively easy & David did good work. Not sure how much was charged since we ran everything through our home warranty, but the work was good!

Our toilet is up & running & not leaking... woohoo! Thanks David!

Great experience. No issues. They were able to handle an issue my handyman couldn't tackle and got to it the same day. Will definitely reach out again.

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!

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.

I needed a faucet installed. I had all the hardware but didnt feel comfortable doing it.  Called Prince Plumbing and they offered to come out right away (not a emergency on my end -- but they were available and they offered to come immediately).

They installed the faucet quickly and all works fine.. however they were very very expensive for the work done. They added in a $45 equipment charge that I thought was unreasonable since the only equipment they used was their wrench and screwdriver.  All told it was ~$181 for 20-30 minutes of work  (from time of arrival, talking, and installing -- the actual install took only ~15 minutes or less... They charged me for an hour and also charged a $35 service fee...  it is the bogus euqipment charge that bothers me the most. He told me it is just something we do and everyone has to pay it.

Call Scott at 512 423-0903 !  He came right out and was terrific and reasonable.   I could not be more happy with a plumber.  He was not out to run up a bill by adding needless work.

Update -- now a few months later --- I bought a new refrigerator and when the installers came, they broke something in the cut off valve for the water line ... They said this valve leaks... well it never had before!  They left me with no water to the new fridge so I called Scott!  He came and replaced the valve!

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.
