Best Plumbing Services in Texas

In December 2019, I called Wedgeworth for a water pressure problem.  James believed the problem was with the water meter and recommended I call the city to replace the meter.  I appreciate that he tried to save me money by blaming the meter before suggesting a plumbing repair, however I spent over two months dealing with the City about changing the meter.  Meanwhile, other plumbers said the pipe riser leading to the house needed to be replaced.  In the middle of arguing with the City about the meter, I asked James to replace the pipe riser. This immediately restored my water pressure.  I initially posted a 5 star review for this job, mainly because James asked me to post a review, and he seems sincere and honest and ultimately did a good job replacing the pipe and the main shutoff valve.
Then, this January I called Wedgeworth about leaky faucets in my shower. It wasn't a particularly bad leak, but the tile floor was constantly damp, making the grout mildew.  James replaced both faucets without going into the access panel.  From the beginning, the faucets were extremely stiff, my needing both hands to turn them on and off.  I assumed they would loosen after they'd been used, but that didn't happen. Then, I noticed the shower floor was still damp, and after a couple months, the leak became worse, so I called Wedgeworth and they sent James to assess the problem.  He told me they would need to replace the separate hot and cold faucets with a single faucet unit, and that would cost about $700.  When I asked if the $272 I already paid could be applied toward that job, he said they could discount it by 5%, but he would need to ask his boss if they could give a larger discount and he would get back to me in a day or two.  When I didn't hear from James, I phoned the office and left a message for Sean (the owner), to call me because I had a question.  Sean didn't return my call, so after a week I sent him an email asking for his opinion on the faucet problem.  He never did get in touch with me, so I called a couple other plumbers as well as my handyman for their opinions.  They all agreed that changing the faucets, without also changing the compatible valves, wouldn't fix the problem.  My 70 year old handyman was confident he could do it, so he replaced the faucets and valves with Pfister hardware, which carries a lifetime warranty. Now, though I needed to pay twice for the same job, I finally have a dry shower floor and new faucets which work perfectly.  Needless to say, I'll never call Wedgeworth Plumbing again.

I can't say enough about Acosta Plumbing.  We had a water main break so our house had zero water!  As soon as I found out from our MUD district that the problem was indeed ours to fix, I put my Yelp to work.  
Randy came out and gave a fair and honest estimate. His professionalism was amazing and he was a joy for my husband and I to talk to during the work being done. His crew worked fast and the grass having to be removed to do the job was cut precisely and laid back on top.  Our front yard did not get torn up and that saved us money too not having to re-sod the whole thing.  I will use Acosta Plumbing for any plumbing jobs from now on. Highly recommend this company!!!

I recently had a good experience with Drain Care Sewer. They charge me total price $625 for 4 problems. Their team was professional and went above and beyond to ensure that my sewer issues were resolved quickly and efficiently.

What really stood out to me was their commitment to customer satisfaction. Even though my problem was fixed on the first visit, they made it clear that I could reach out to them at 90 days if I had any further concerns.

Overall, I would recommend Drain Care Sewer to anyone in need of reliable sewer services. With their dedication to quality and customer satisfaction, you can trust that your home or business is in good hands with this company.

The winter storm brought havoc to our house. We were fortunate enough to find a repair guy who stopped our problem quickly. He told us our pipes were a mishmash from the 80's and we needed a plumbing company!

I then placed our house on Plumbco's list, which was long, yet highly recommended by our neighbors. We waited!

AND we are so glad we did.

Brandon came out and began the assessment. We realized we weren't that many dollars off from a repipe with all of our issues that were not related.

On the day of the repipe, the crew arrived on time, with the majority of the tools needed AND they were done by 6:30 pm.

ONE DAY!

The owner, who is super-friendly, inspected the work at the end of the day, and made sure the items that were complicated were completed.

Plumbco has a great, professional crew. I thought they would need to go through tile in our bathtubs, but they kept it in tact, saving us so much!

Definitely a great choice in the Westbury/Meyerland/Maplewood/Bellaire areas, etc.

We had to get a toilet replaced and Right Choice plumbing was responsive and flexible with scheduling. While they were here, they were able to spot a leak and was able to fix that as well. Can't say enough about these guys, friendly, knowledgeable and great service overall.

Had dual bathroom sinks which were clogged. Acacias came out that very day and was able to resolve the issue. Our technician, Cristian, was highly knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. He explained everything clearly and the price was as expected. He was in and out within and hour.

Would recommend them to anyone and would use them again.

Fast response, fair and honest pricing, and great service. We didn't know what was wrong with our toilet (not flushing but no clog) and Kim came to check it out. Turns out the main line was clogged. The job was done efficiently and on time. Thank you guys!

Hugo mounted 2 tvs, 2 curtains and 10 pictures . He was very responsive and reasonable with the pricing . He completed the job super fast and was very professional throughout the entire time . If I could I would give him 10

Finding an honest plumber isn't so easy. We recently added a new bathroom to a property we purchased, and about 80 feet of drain line needed to be roughed in along with fixtures and water lines. The cost was reasonable and transparent without any hidden fees, and the job was done correctly without taking any shortcuts. The plumber handled all the permits and supervised his workers appropriately. Few plumbers do rough in plumbing so I felt very grateful to find an honest company that does the work well. In the end, we liked the work so much asked him to install drainage and water lines for a washer/dryer. He responds promptly to text messages. I intend to continue using Robert in the future for all my plumbing needs. I should note that he is rapidly becoming very busy so plan accordingly if you need a job done soon.

I tried installing a bathroom faucet but had some issues with the hoses matching up.  I called this company at 6:20pm. By 7:00 pm they were at my home.  By 7:25 they were finished. I asked them to take a look a my slow draining kitchen sink since they were already there; they snaked it multiple times and made sure everything was draining great. What i can say is they work hard and go the extra mile.  They are fast, no up-sales, friendly up front pricing,  and really do care about doing a great job for the costumer.  I plan to keep them for all my plumbing needs. Would recommend.

4 visits, holes in 2 walls, and $895 to cap a leaking recirculating line (that we ultimately had to find for them). Late twice and no-showed once. I shudder to think what it would have cost to complete the bubble testing they wanted to do...on a line that would be re-routed anyways.... .

****In response to Phyllis.. here's my three cents:

We didn't call you to fix anything. You were contacted for an estimate and given all the details of the need prior to and again, upon arrival. As for the irritation, clearly you're misinformed. My problem only arose when your technician was more interested in being nosy & wanting details - which was irrelevant, instead of just offering up the estimate you were to there to provide. Irregardless, you're right - EPW is unable to provide me with such services, but not by your choice - by mine. Thanks for your reply!****

This review is for services that were completed on 10/07/2022.  First Aid Plumbing fell in the middle of the pack in terms of pricing, which seemed competitive to a person that is no expert on plumbing and plumbing prices.  I received some quotes that were lower and some that were exponentially higher.  I've learned that a lower price is not necessarily better.  I respect Alex's transparency, even when it was difficult for me to be fully knowledgeable and transparent about the issue at hand.  The work actually ended up being deeper in some sections than anticipated (as prefaced by Alex) and I was not charged extra for the additional digging and work for related repairs.  Out of all the quotes and discussions I had regarding cause(s) of the breakage in the sewer line, Alex was the most transparent and showed me the issue on the camera and physically (when the pipe was unearthed).  Another outlet was built out for potential future sewer line cleanouts.  I don't know if anything can be done to position this access point towards the back of the yard (versus a higher traffic area) but this is the only change I would have wished for from the service.  It looked like teacher (Alex) and apprentice (Rogino) worked well and respectfully together and that makes for a winning team that ultimately supports and respects customers similarly.  It also makes for fast and efficient service.  Thank you for mending our (spot replacement) sewer line and preventing the fourth back-up in the house in less than three months.  Now we can just focus on living in the house instead of bleaching it out every two weeks to a month.  Lastly, from a legal and administrative standpoint, thank you for providing traceable information via public records (i.e secretary of state and MLP# and how to look it up).  Appreciate some of the honest perspectives and things to look for on warranties.

If you are reading this, you probably have a leak and are panicked on who to call to fix it.  I know exactly how you feel.  I discovered water running down the outside of my house coming out of the Hardiplank.  Upon further investigation, I discovered it soaking into the drywall on the inside of my wall next to the stairwell.  Coincidentally, it was directly underneath my a/c and my immediate thought was my a/c pan was overflowing.  I immediately called my a/c guy (Richmond Air in Houston.  Great reviews.  Look him up.)  Discovered it was not my a/c unit.  It was working perfectly.  I had no idea who to call for plumbing so I went back to Yelp.  Texas Best only had 8 reviews (at the time) but they were all 5-stars.  I gambled and clicked on Request a quote and filled out the info.  It was after hours but they called back almost immediately.  Since I had an active leak but it wasn't a geyser, he agreed to put me at the top of the list the next morning.  Two guys showed up the next morning and found the leak within a few minutes.  They had to cut out part of my drywall to get to the T-connection in the PEX tubing.  They actually showed me where it had been leaking for a while (probably over two years but slowly got worse).  Needless to say, I now have around $2000 worth of damage from the leak.  The actual plumbing fix with labor and parts was less than $200.00.  I am extremely pleased with the service I received from Texas Best Plumbing.  If you need a plumber in the Galveston, Clear Lake, Webster, Friendswood area, do not hesitate to call them.  They were fantastic.  

Bottom line - Top notch plumbing service.  Charged my a fair price for the work performed.  Excellent communication and quality work.  Exactly what I expected and wanted from a plumber.  An easy five-star review.

Our hat water heater quite unexpectedly. Alberle got it running the same day at a reasonable price

Was able to come out same day, plumber was great no complaints there. Requested to have 3 dual flush valves replaced in toilets. Estimate was $600. Plumber fixed the toilets in less than an hour. I called for a breakdown of labor vs parts and was told the cost is a flat charge by job.

These guys have saved me a couple of times.  The first time was to repair damage done by another area plumbing company and then do the job that was supposed to have been done the first time.  Alliance clearly had more knowledge and courtesy than their competitor.  The second time was to correct a deficiency on a home inspection report that I needed fixed quickly. For a non-emergency repair they were still able to fit me in in very short order and fix the problem.  They are upfront and honest about the job and always professional. These guys are my go-to plumbers for the area. Highly recommended.

They contract with homserve. I tell them the stem is leaking and when I turn the kitchen faucet and bathtub faucet to hot water the pressure drops drastically. I walked Josue over to the bathroom and turned the faucet on in the tub. The stem leaked and when I turned it all the way to hot the pressure dropped. He says it's the interior plumbing that needs to be replaced because Houston has hard water and all of the minerals (which he started naming like magnesium and phosphorus) mixing with the hot water causes scaling. I have interior coverage with home serve and it is covered (scaling over time can cause a complete blockage)
per home serves interior coverage copied straight from their contract if you put in 77029 as the area code.

What is a Covered Repair?
Repair or replacement of the following inside Your Home, for which You
have sole responsibility, which is damaged due to normal wear and tear:
* The partially or permanently blocked or leaking System pipes that carry
fresh water and wastewater

Like I said I turn the tub faucet on along with the bathroom sink on so he can see the dramatic difference. He says that the interior plumbing needs to be replaced. A lot of older homes have galvanized pipes and over time scaling happens. Josue says let me go out to my van and speak with homserve to try and get it covered.  Home serve calls me and says that the valve is a fixture, and it isn't covered. I'm like huh (the girl with home serve is named Nika and she had a very bad attitude) I said we didn't talk about him replacing the valve. I said the stem was leaking and he said the interior pipes needs to be replaced. She then states that he didn't say anything about the interior pipes. Josue is still sitting in his van. At this point I have an extra device and I am recording this entire conversation because I knew it was going to be some BS and if you are wondering Texas has a one-party law and I consented to being recorded, look it up!

I asked him did he tell her about the interior plumbing needing to be replaced. He said yeah I mentioned it but like I told you home serve won't cover it because you still have pretty good pressure. the only time I have seen them cover it is when there was a complete blockage. then Nika says that there has to be below 30psi in two or more fixtures open in order for it to be considered low water pressure. She said that my water pressure is measuring 50 psi with two or more fixtures open and that's why home serve is not covering.  I asked her how she knew it was 50 psi when he never gauged the water. I had to go outside an ask him to gauge the water.

I kid you not I am being told two different things from Josue who has totally changed his story and Nika the idiot with a bad attitude.   He never checks the pressure in my home. I tell him to come back inside and check the pressure. he says ok ill come back in and check the pressure. He never comes back in. I start recording him sitting in his freakin van. I go back outside cause home serve tries to call me again. I answer it but don't hear anything then they hang up and don't try to call again. Like I said I am recording. I go ask him what is he doing because he never came back in the house, and he never gauged the water pressure. he says yes, I did I have the pictures. I said show me. he placed a gauge on the outside valve infront of my home and says that it is registering 60 psi. When I checked my audio recording Nika said my psi was registering 50 now Josue says its 60.  I asked him why he didn't gauge the pressure in my actual home on one of the fixtures because that's what Nika said.

There is a character limit on this, but I have Nika and Josue on recording. Very unprofessional, bad business on home serve and Texas Quality Plumbing. This business can contact me if they want to listen to the audio. Josue didn't check any of the fixtures in the house. I turned the water on in the shower and the bathroom faucet. that's as far as his inspection went. I called homeserve to let them know they are sending out another plumber.  i dont think I can attach the audio but I would if I could. I took video of him sitting in his van which what he basically got paid to do but not sure if i can post that either

horrible company...use at your own peril. second or third time I had an appt and they never showed and called me 6 hours later to say the repairman doesnt work mornings????
pathetic...I guess they only had one repairman....NEVER AGAIN
