Best Plumbing Services in Texas

Ray and Robert were fantastic very helpful and recommended some important repairs I wasn't aware of. They replaced 3 feet of my cast iron sewer line in less then a hour! Good price even better people couldn't ask for more!

We recently used  Genzel Plumbing to fix a leaky outdoor faucet. They did the job efficiently and thoroughly. I was pleased with the price as well. We love supporting local family businesses that have a high standard of excellence and customer service.

These guys are great! I called at 8am, and my plumbing was fixed before 11:30am the same day! Caleb helped me out. He was fast, courteous, and professional (plus good with my dog). He explained what probably caused the problem, and told me how to prevent it from happening again. Do yourself a favor and just call these guys if you need a plumber!

So about a month ago, one afternoon I walked out into my garage and saw a rather sizable puddle of water in the middle of the floor.  Huh??  I looked around (why, I don't know).  Then I looked up.  Oh f@#k!  I ran upstairs and opened the door to the attic space where the water heaters and one of the hvac systems is located and there it was - water coming out of a small hole in a pipe by one of the water heaters.  Water was shooting out horizontally, hitting a wall, and running downward - through the ceiling of my garage.  I tried to turn off the water supply to the water heater, but nothing happened.  Panic!

Anyway, I didn't have a plumber that I liked (I deal with almost all the tradespeople who have to come to our house - poor things - and I decide who will come back).  I'd tried about three since we moved here, but none of them screamed 'I want to be your regular plumber'.  So I called my regular HVAC company and asked them to recommend someone and they gave me the number for Arty's Plumbing.  I called Arty's and explained my problem to the person who answered and guess what?  He actually sounded concerned about my emergency and said someone would be there within an hour.  In less than an hour, Frank arrived, assessed the problem, turned off the water to the water heaters and to the house and proceeded to repair the leak.  From the time I found the puddle in the garage to the time the problem was fixed was less than three hours, and that included Frank having to make a trip for a piece of hardware.

AND, the cost was very reasonable (I thought).  When he handed me the bill, I couldn't believe it was so low.  And Frank was very nice.  He also either didn't make a mess or he cleaned up after he was done.  Either way, there was no mess for me to deal with.

AND after all this, the worst thing we have is a water stain on the garage ceiling.  My car (that was just washed that morning for the first time in a couple months) didn't even get dripped on.  Now how lucky is that?!

Anyway, they don't know it yet, but Arty's Plumbing is now my regular plumber.  I sure hope they don't scare easily...

I got great service from Hoover, especially from Mike there. I had a buried commode waste line under our house (crawl space access) that has been a problem for years stopping up. One plunger wanted $5000 to fix it a couple of years ago. Mike crawled under the house to inspect the configuration, brought in an expert camera sub to view the line interior, then came back in a couple of days and dug out the old bad 8' section and replaced it, all for a fraction of my old quote. He was very professional, timely, and effective. Great work! Potty works now like new.

Do not use this company. They are gouging prices. I found a plumber who would just repair my water heater.

They tried to charge $3000 dollars and came with a water heater thinking I would finance it. Absolutely not!

Thanks so much to Allen for providing such great products and installation of recent our bathroom and kitchen remodeling.  We love our new tubs, toilets and fixtures that he helped us pick out. He coordinated perfectly with our tile guys to give us timely installation of all the products.  You are these best plumber we have ever had.

After a very disappointing experience with another plumber, I found Mark and Sunshine Plumbing.  So glad I did.  He listened, communicated well, arrived when he said he would, took care of business and was reasonably priced.  Can't do much better than that when it comes to a plumber!

Guy showed up, I hope is not represent the company anymore.
We went with someone else.

Bob and his crew are the best. Super responsive and knowledgeable. We are always confident in their service and integrity.

Nathaniel with Peradventure Plumbing is my go-to for all plumbing needs. He has helped us for several years now with our rental properties and he's professional, knowledgeable, reliable, honest and all around just a wonderful guy. They are a local, family owned and operated business. Nathaniel has assisted us with so many projects from tough jobs fixing another contractor's shoddy work to small needs. The pricing is always fair for top quality work. I'm extremely grateful to have found Peradventure plumbing. I wish I could say the same of all the other trades that we use. If you're looking for a company with integrity, this is is.

Abe of Strittmatter Plumbing, Heating, and AC repaired the water main line to my home and I could not be happier with everything about his work and his demeanor! Abe was very professional, always on time, extremely knowledgable, and very clearly FAIR and HONEST (which is So, SO important to me!). Abe did excellent work on what was a fairly complicated job. I felt like I was in such good hands from start to finish. And that's exactly how I like to feel when somebody's working on my home. For me, that feeling of confidence and trust is worth everything! The support staff at Strittmatter was also completely above and beyond -- they were EXCEPTIONAL -- in regards to their personal approach, their kindness, professionalism, timeliness, helpfulness, you name it. They were really, really great! Thanks so much, Abe and Outstanding Staff, for being so competent, professional, knowledgable, and HONEST! You really warmed my heart. Truly.

Elsewhere (not on Yelp) I saw a few favorable reviews for Benton Plumbing of Benbrook, so I took a chance and called them about a leaky faucet (not an emergency).

The receptionist told me that they had an opening for the next Tuesday (I had requested a Monday or Tuesday appointment). She said the plumber would arrive between 11 and noon.

Tuesday, 10:45 a.m., Benton's called, saying the plumber was on his way. He (Paul) arrived at 11 sharp. He fixed my two bad faucets quickly (he did have to go to a nearby hardware store to get the proper fittings for my particular faucets).

Very reasonable charge ($85 per hour, plus parts).

I was very pleased! I asked for extra cards so I could spread them around the house (I tend to lose such cards).

Highly recommended!

Updated May 15, 2014: I have had occasion to use Benton's two more times since my original review. The review stands. Excellent service indeed!

The guys did such a great job. We had has another plumbing company out earlier in the day and they completely screwed the pooch. Brad and his partner came out and worked so hard to get us all fixed up. It was a reasonable price and we're happy to have our home put back together.

Roger is such a great guy.
Came over within 30 minutes of my call and got us up and running again!
With our house reaching 15 years old, I'm glad to have a highly competent plumber so close.
Thanks!!!

My landlord used this company to fix a leaking toilet, some water cloudiness, and some water pressure issues. Scheduling was pleasant and easy. The plumber came right on time, and although some things couldn't be fixed without major work, I appreciated how the plumber explained everything and even fixed some items I failed to mention. They worked hard and were transparent through it all.

I would recommend NTX Plumbing, for sure.

(Slightly After Brunch)

It was at this most August point in Earth's history that the first amphibious creatures to evolve reached out with their stubby, scaly paws, and with deliberate steps, crawled out of the water and into the glorious sun.  No longer confined to the reeking pools of the fetid swamps, they were now free!  Free to roam the banks of slippery mud and begin their dominion of this new, uncharted world!  They were the pioneers of the new future, a new world order that would span the millennia.

And it was about three whole seconds later that they realized what a colossal #$@&!@ mistake they had made.

The problem was quite simple.  Land, by definition, was not water.  Land was here, under their feet, but the water was now inconveniently over there, and the further into the land you went, the more distant the water became.  And since water remained essential to staying not-dead, this meant that the more involved you became with land, the more work you had to perform in order to get water.

For the first amphibians, this meant hoofing it over miles of jungle, dodging 8-foot cockroaches and whatever other nightmares mother nature had just cooked up, all for the simple sake of getting a drink and live to see another day of roach-dodging.  Worse still, having kids required more water and an extended honeymoon at any one of a million watering holes that quickly became known as Predator Heaven or  Prey Hell (today known as Club Med).  

For millions of years, this was de rigueur for all the life that walked or crawled or slithered on this earth.

It was a serious bummer.

Then, around 245 MYA, the dinosaurs appeared.  These newer models were special because of their revolutionary approach to the egg.  Instead of dumping an egg in water and praying for the best as the roaches charged, these guys encapsulated the water INSIDE the shell of the egg.  Mothers around the world were free to fire at will as they pleased, the nearest pond and its minions of death be damned.

It was the world's first attempt at plumbing.

Sadly, it was about the most successful nature was able to devise until homo sapiens appeared.  It was the Romans who most famously tackled the problem of moving water from where it was to where people wanted it to be - mainly, in their bathtubs.  Because nature had forgotten about body odor during the leap to land, too.  

It wasn't long before the Romans invented indoor plumbing and health spas proliferated across the world of the ancients like Starbucks hitting virgin territory.  For the first time, life did not have to bust its hump for a dip in lavender bubbles and a good loofah scrub.

Unfortunately, the new technology was entirely based on pipes made out of lead, and the history of plumbing pretty much went downhill from that point on.

Perhaps it was an affectation of the lead coursing happily through their veins, but humanity bought into the whole indoor plumbing concept and added to it exponentially.  Baths became showers, showers became multi-headed, holes over the inlaw's room became toilets, and we all completely forgot how the whole thing worked.  

As the opportunities for profit grew in this ecological niche, a new breed of specialists with low-hanging jeans quickly evolved to pick up the slack and make a quick buck.  And many of them made more than just a quick buck or two.  For the unwary ex-amphibian caught in the clutches of a wrench-wielding roach named Bob, a $2 leak in a shower could easily become a $15K home-improvement odyssey through the depths of hell.  And as quickly as the damage was done, Bob and his ilk would scurry back into the underbrush to hide under logs and leaf litter to await the next sucker to call out for a water heater installation.

Ever since, it's been a hard job to sort out the roaches from the saints.

Happily, Speake's is one of the few saints on the block.  And what miracles they perform!  They arrive, when they say they will arrive.  Their arrival window can be as little as 2 hours.  They know what they're doing, and do it very quickly.  They are very free and open with advice and options, but don't push a hard sell.  And they go the extra mile to make sure everything is done right.

My parents had a leak in their shower.  $15K was the estimate to rip it out & replace.  But Speake's diagnosed a potential seal leak over the phone and talked them through the fix.  About $50 and some elbow grease was all they needed.  They did it themselves & hired Speake's to install a set of water heaters.  On that basis, we had Speake's install our new heater.  It wasn't cheap, but they used quality materials you don't get from Home Depot.  Better yet, they installed a catch-pan for the water and the release pipe (which went through the wall), gratis.  Speake's gets my highest recommendation

After being assured that an exterior leak had been located and repaired, I was charged $680. Water continued to flow in the same area and pattern immediately after Hole in One's repair. After requesting that the ongoing leak simply be stopped/fixed, I am informed that it was repaired. Hole in One's position is there is simply a new leak. I am then told to use another company to find it and repair it as Hole in One's initial $680 repair was thorough and appropriate.

When I texted their employee, Clint, to resolve payment and the leak a few days later, I am texted the information on the photo above:

Oscar has informed me that there is nothing more he can say that I didn't already cover in our conversation.
Arguing with you about it any further isn't worth the $800. Enjoy your complimentary sewer repair, and please don't contact Hole In One for any more of your plumbing needs.

Sincerely,
F*** off

After forwarding his employee's response to the owner, Oscar, no response or explanation was offered.

There are way too many plumbers in the metro for anyone to have to tolerate this. Please find another company that stands behind their work and won't curse at you when they don't.

Just had a great experience with Olshan. We were worried about foundation problems at our house because of some small cracks on the outside as well as the inside of the house. They thoroughly checked the inside and outside of the house and assured us that everything looked good. They could have easily recommended unnecessary work and we have been none the wiser. If we ever have foundation problems in the future we will definitely be calling Olshan.

We moved into our house in Feb. 2019 and set up a maintenance contract with A #1. Someone came out in the spring for regular maintenance, and again in November for winter maintenance. The guy who came in November let us know that we had the incorrect size air filter in our unit, and because of that, we now needed to have our interior unit's coil and blower fan cleaned, along with a full duct system cleaning for a minimum of $2,000, but $4,000 for the recommended package. Why was the air filter not flagged to us during the spring appointment? No one could tell me, but it seems like it was intentional so they could come back a few months later with this outrageous recommendation. We had another company come out to give us a second opinion before spending thousands of dollars, and were assured that our blower fan was cleaner than most and our duct system did not need cleaning unless we were noticing hot or cold spots in the house (we weren't). The second company also noticed that our exterior unit hadn't been properly cleaned, that it had only been cleaned at the top, not cleaned out from the inside, too. The only thing A #1 told us that was correct was that the interior coil did need cleaning, which was because of the incorrect air filter that they didn't flag sooner. Needless to say, we cancelled our contract with A #1 and gave all of our business to Samm's - I'd highly recommend looking into them if you'd rather have an honest company that isn't trying to rip you off handle your HVAC needs.
