I can't say enough good things about First Call Plumbing, Heating & Air!
First Call was recommended to me by a friend after I sent out a distressed email that I had had two plumbers look at a mainline stoppage in my house and had completely opposite diagnoses. One told me it would be $15,000 to fix my plumbing; the other told me that it was the city's problem and to call them.
My friend recommended that I call First Call. She said that they we're honorable and would get my plumbing fixed quickly and at a reasonable price. I made the call and spoke with Ryan in the front office. He listened to what I had to say about my experiences and then apologized that I was treated so poorly and got such confusing information. He promised that they would send somebody out that evening - this was 5 o'clock on a Friday - to see if they could open up the plumbing and find out what the problem was. I had been three days without being able to use my shower, my toilet, or run water as everything was stopped up in my house, because I waited for the city to come out and check their side as the second plumber said the blockage was past my property.
Bob, and his apprentice Anthony, showed up at my house and got to work right away. They had to use three separate pieces of equipment to clear out the blockage in my mainline. It was well after dark, but they did it. Bob was then able to use the camera to show me that tree roots had broken my mainline from underneath it and said that it would have to be replaced.
This was the same thing that the first plumber had told me, but he could not clear my line, so the camera that he used was completely underwater not showing me anything, just assuming that a tree was the cause. He also said that it would be $15,000 and that I would have to take down my crepe myrtle tree to fix the line.
First Call said that they could replace the pipe the following week. I would be able to use all of my plumbing, just to be careful about the volume I put through the pipe. Also, they could replace it, route the new line around my tree (so I didn't have to cut it down) and were almost 1/3 of the price of the first plumber.
The following week the excavation crew showed up, as scheduled. They were awesome! They had a great time, you could tell that they liked their job. They were polite, efficient, and very careful with my yard. When they left there was a trench from my house to the street, but they had everything covered. They left tarps with rocks to hold them, covered the trench with boards so that it was safe and they put caution tape around my entire yard so not only me but anybody else would be safe and know that there was danger.
The next day, sure enough Bob and Anthony, with their team showed up to replace my mainline. They connected everything, saved my tree and I was back in business.
Once it passed inspection by the city, the excavation crew came back and covered up all of the pipe, they reconnected all of my sprinkler system and left my yard with a single strip of dug up dirt down the middle of it, up to the house.
I got a follow up call from First Call the next day to make sure that everything was fine, in working order, that I was satisfied with the work that was done and that my yard had been left as I expected.
I cannot recommend this company enough. My experience was above and beyond what I've ever had with a plumber. I now know why they're called First Call - they will always be mine.

I called 5 different 5-star companies on Yelp to get a quote for a toilet re-set after my new master bath tile install was completed. Thunderbird was the cheapest and had the soonest availability. They called to confirm the morning of, and showed up promptly 30 minutes later.
Plumber was friendly, courteous, explained the process to me, showed me potential issues (but didn't force me to fix them), and quickly finished the job. No extra, hidden charges. No crazy upsells. Just a simple price that was the same as quoted on the phone.
Given, this is pretty simple task, but it was completed perfectly. He also was great with my dog! :) (It's the little things)
Would definitely give them my business again!

To start, Uryss M. got back to us on Yelp within 5 minutes...after standard working hours. They were professional, courteous, and mindful of my time. Mitch came to our home exactly when they said he would. He was extremely friendly, professional, and knowledgable. Not only did he explain everything regarding our home's plumbing, he was very friendly with our three dogs! He gave us a prompt and accurate estimate, and went way beyond expectations. He did the work immediately following diagnostic, and he finished the work brilliantly! I would recommend this company without hesitation!

They did an amazing job! The crew came to our house as promised. If they had a question they always asked to see if it was acceptable. Very professional we couldn't have asked for more.

We've been using Quest for over 20 years and Matt and his crew are top notch! I've had new toilets installed, leaks fixed and second opinions on home warranty lack service rip off artist's diagnoses. They've saved me thousands of dollars in costly repairs by just being honest. A while back they made a mistake and they didn't try to blame me or someone else they just came out and made things right. That's INTEGRITY for you. Today most plumbers think they are providing you a service and make you wait four-five hours for them to show up. Quest still keeps customer service first and foremost!

Carl, Matthew, & his Family came out and knocked out installing my water softener. This was no easy task! He had to run new plumbing for my water softener plus added 2 more outdoor spigots to run hard water for our plants, as you never ever water your plants with soft water, as they will die.
At the same time, Carl and his team, knocked out installing a new kitchen faucet for a very low reasonable price!
At no extra charge, he even hooked up my water line in the kitchen to my refrigerator for it to make ice and filtered water. As a added Bonus, Matthew even hooked up my water heater's hot drain to the overflow pipe, as a safety feature, for no additional charge!!!
I most definitely have found my go to Plumber, make them yours as well! Thank you for the Great Service Rutkowski Plumbing!

I never write reviews, but with service like this, I had to! After attempting to repair a leak myself, I had to call in the professionals. I call several places and a couple came out to look. Their estimates on the phone were no where near accurate and the price the quoted in person was ridiculous. I was almost ready to give up when I called this team. Not only were they able to get here faster than the others, they stuck to their price. I am definitely going to keep this number and go to them first when I have a problem. Amazing and respectable service.

Best customer service around. When I was down and out and couldn't get anyone to come over to help find a leak that was destroying my first floor this company made the drive to Austin and found and repaired the pipe. So thankful for ALD.

Wolves in sheep's clothing
Beware! I feel so sad and stupid for trusting that this company is reputable and has excellent reviews.
I was given an arrival window for consultation between 1pm and 4pm. The Technician did called a bit after 5pm to explain that he was held up and running about 2 hour behind. I truly appreciated the call since I felt that he was demonstrating accountability. Around 6:40 pm the tech arrived. Tech was very polite, patient, professional, and engaged well in explaining needed work.
He took about 10-15 minutes to expose the water pressure regulator and show that there was a leak and the cost to repair it would be around $1500. Unfortunately, this is were I feel taken by the wolf. I trusted the estimate due to presentation and charisma of the tech. I agreed to the service and price. I decided to do some research before the next day of job needed and to my surprise the quote given was almost 3x more than estimates online. I decided to get second opinion and indeed charges quoted where about twice higher.
I canceled the service and received a call from the company's office manager, Becky, that I owe $425 for the consultation: tech coming out, gas (company is maybe 5 miles from my home), and exposing the line. Of course, I was not happy with this price and explain that a hole was dug and water removed to show water pressure regulator leak. The tech took about 10 minutes top 15 minutes to show regulator and leak and I am responsible for $425 for a maybe 15 minute consultation . Office manager agreed to reduce it to $225 and provided an invoice indicating an hour work (not true), two techs coming for consultation (not true) and PB1B Basic Pressure Control System Renovation:
Basic Pressure Control System Renovation
Single isolation system
Performance and safety testing, six month warranty (I am not a plumber but I do not believe that none of the work that is listed was done) for God's sake 6 months warranty for exposing the broken/ leaking water pressure regulator?
Please take your time to ask questions. I am not sure if this happened to me since I am an ignorant female who should have asked more questions and done research before agreeing to pay 2x - 3x more for a service which was canceled once I educated myself but now I am left with a broken water pressure regulator and a $425/ 15 minute consultation (negotiated down to $225).
I am feeling discouraged with humanity! Best way I can describe this experience is: Beware of Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

Mr. Richard was so knowledgeable and professional when he put in our new water heater! We highly recommend EL Smith plumbing to do any plumbing service for you with perfection! I was overly impressed with the with the amount of skill and knowledge that came with their EL's plumbing service!

I had them install a bathroom vent and it never seemed to work very well. Upon inspection I found that the trap vent door that was supposed to open with the airflow, was blocked by the exhaust hose. It was installed in such a way the door would not open rendering the fan unless.
I also received a quote to have an existing exterior wire rerun with proper conduit and the quote was $990! Klock's Electric quoted it at $240 and finished the job in less than an hour.

Bad, not honest, down right wrong!
Our home warranty company called Fred Wright plumbing to come out and fix a diverter that had broken just one month after a previous company replaced it.
We had already paid the previous company to install a new diverter in the tub handle and it was either not installed correctly or it was just a very cheap part. We had an agreement with the home warranty company that if Fred Wright plumbing found that the diverter was the problem again that we would not be charged a second time.
Joe refused to explain basic plumbing to the home warranty operator and instead told them that we broke the part ourself and on top of that told us that we would have to call and order the part and have it delivered before he could replace it.
The part was broken....but really....I am pretty sure I did not take the handle off and unto the part and break it and then put the handle and parts back on....pretty sure!
So we have paid $110.00 and now have no way to take a shower and must order the part ourself!
Joe is not welcome in my house again!
