Best Plumbing Services in Texas

This was the 3rd time I called Kevin of K&K Plumbing for various issues.  For me, he has snaked a sewer pipe, installed a new kitchen faucet, fixed a toilet, and fixed a leak in a wall.  He comes out quickly, does good work and is easy to work with.  I got his name from a real estate agent who uses him all the time.  Prices are reasonable too.

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.

Great service. Caleb came out to do an estimate and was able to jump into working just shortly after that. He saved us from a massive headache and is a great guy. Will definitely be going to them for future plumbing work. Very reasonably priced and great work done.

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...

The company provided excellent service they were very responsive and helpful I believe they been in business for over 50 years and there's a good reason for that

We had a great experience with Tioga. They came to give a quote on replacing some light fixtures and fans and performed the work the same day. The price was very reasonable and the installers, Michael and Seth were very careful, efficient and professional.

We will use them again for our next round of upgrades!

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!

Did a good job of coordinating a two-fer plumbing plus electrical job and getting city permits.  Moved a laundry washer box and electrical outlets and then replaced the main electrical panel, added whole house surge protector and car charge outlet.  Donnie was helpful in referring a drywall company they regularly use who also did well.  They were also very reasonable on pricing.

These guys are awesome!

I've had them out multiple times, and they're fast, affordable and effective. They really know what they're doing, they're honest and dependable and you don't feel like you're getting swindled like you do with every other vendor out there.

Give them a call for anything you need, big or small.

I can't say enough good things about peradventure. We had them out to get rid of the air gap on our sink and reinstall our garbage disposal and faucet after getting new countertops. They are very fairly priced, showed up on time and were so courteous!!

Our granite people took part of our garage disposal with them and he was luckily able to find a spare part in his truck - total life saver!!

They are a family owned business...Nathaniel the owner is 1 of 11!! Just great people who do honest work - I would highly recommend!!!

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.

I chose Benton plumbing because of there 5 star rating. Yes this company definitely deserves to be at the top. They weren't the first place I called. But from the moment you answered my call I was impressed. The lady listened to my problem and she was able to dispatch Ray to come out. He arrived on time and came prepared to take care of my issues. Five star for sure.

This company is great!  I had another company coming to refinish both bathroom vanities and discovered the night before that the water cut-offs under the sinks were frozen and could not be turned off.  This would have meant turning off the water to the whole house for a period of 4 days, which would have been very inconvenient!  I called Riddell at 7 a.m. and they were able to send Brian out within 1-1/2 hr.  He was able to replace the cut-offs in both bathrooms, including both toilets and remove the faucets and drains in both bathrooms for the vanity refinishing job all in 1-1/2 hr.  He was amazing and did excellent work!  I felt that their pricing was fair as well.  Thank you Riddell Plumbing!

Texas Green will always be my go-to plumbing company. These guys are good at what they do and they don't cut any corners. I know I can trust them to get it right the FIRST time. I've seen Roger (owner) make miracles happen with seemingly impossible deadlines. Coming from a Realtor, this is HUGE. Amazing customer service!

I had a toilet overflow problem on Monday and needed help fast. I called several local plumbers and they all said the same thing that they couldn't come out until the following Monday.  Late that night I found NTX's website had a place to request service online. They called me first thing the next morning and had 2 guys over by noon. Eric knew exactly what needed to be done and replaced a couple parts and explained how to check whether a flapper needed to be replaced. I checked and sure enough it was time to replace the other one too.  An hour later they had both toilets fixed and even added some caulking around the bottom of one toilet.  The guys were extremely polite, knowledgeable, willing to help and didn't waste time since they charge by the hour. NTX did an excellent job at a very reasonable price. I will definitely call NTX for any future plumbing problems and I highly recommend them.

(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

They really helped my parents out of a bind recently.  Both toilets had issues and after contacting another local plumbing company that charged a service call , refused to repair the existing toilets instead trying to upsell 2 new toilets for approximately $1500.00; HIO came out within 30 minutes and gave a fair estimate.  The Sloan Flushmate replacement parts were ordered.  The toilets were repaired in less than an after Jeff arrived.  He was very quick and professional.  The job was done at the estimated price.  I would recommend this company to anyone.

Seven years ago, I had Olshan level my home by installing their cablelocking stabilizers around my house in Webster.  Three years later cracks started appearing and I called to get someone out to assess and adjust.  Even though they have a lifetime warranty they found a way around honoring it with me.  The lady who answered the phone gave me a number to an area sales guy who I HAD TO go through for any warranty problems.  He avoided me, didn't return calls and would not make an appointment using any excuse.  I called to talk to someone higher and Shelly says not possible, this area manager is the final word.  This went on for SIX months.  Turns out that the lifetime warranty was an empty promise in my case.  Get a lawyer?  Sure, more money for something I already paid for.

We used this company 3 times this month to fix our water hammer issue.  The 1st guy came pointed something without ever ask any additional question or background from us. Then we told him about the high water pressure, and need to change the PRV. So I DO NOT think he really try to investigate the issue. Later after he installed the water heater extension tank as the PRV inspected OK, the water hammer was still there;

Next we asked the company to send plumbers back again. 2 guys showed up. This time they offered to cut a hole in the dry wall  for 600 USD, but not sure if it truly can fix it. We turned down this idea.

3td time, finnaly some professional guy come. His name is Duan Glenn. He fixed our faucet cartridge issue, and at the mean time, he found the water hammer was due to we did not fully open the water valves/angle stops  under faucets and toilets.

I would hope could have Duan came the 1st time instead of other 3. So if you need use this company , be sure to ask for Duan Glenn, who has 25 years plumbing experience and do think before do anything!
