Best Businesses in San Antonio, TX

Thank you so very much Anchor Plumbing and Paul!  I had a problem with my toilet and all the water pressure in the house. Paul found out the problem and fixed it and was totally nice and professional.  I will totally recommend them to anyone who needs plumbing services. Plus they will be putting in a new water softener for me. Definitely 5 or more stars!  Thanks again Paul!

I got a quote from this company for re-plumbing my property. He said all the right things and appeared to really want the work. He took the time to put a quote together and send it to us. I called and tried to schedule the work, he said next week (Monday or Wednesday). He said he would let me know. We called him back on that Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday along with texting him. No answers. I really figured he was injured or something. I actually held out on finding someone else to do the work. We tried calling again from our phone and then from a friends, On the friends we got a call back immediately. The receptionist tried to say she did not get any of our messages or text from several of our phones. Apparently they did not really want the work. It would have been nice if they could have not wasted my time and just been honest from the get go.

Our SAWs bill sky rocketed from $40 to $80 to $400 in three months! I freaked out and spoke to SAWs, who confirmed it was a fast leak and to get it fixed immediately. I did a project request on Yelp and Plumbit was one of the first responses. They were very friendly and knowledgeable. I decided to go with them because I had a gut feeling. I'm so glad I trusted it. Another plumber told us the problem was in the concrete foundation and our house would sink eventually. But when Plumbit came (within hours of us speaking), they were incredibly precise and careful in finding the source of leak. They proved the other plumber wrong in that the leak was actually outside the house and not in the concrete foundation. I cannot tell you how much of a relief this was to me. They've taken a day of stress and torment to a day of relief to have the leak fixed. They even helped with tips on contacting SAWs to prove the leak was fixed and how and why it happened. I'm blown away by this company. Everyone was so friendly and professional. Anytime someone mentions needing a plumber, I'm recommending Plumbit to them!!! I would give ten stars and not five if it was possible.

Martin, and John were very friendly, professional, thorough, and fast!  Thank you for wearing masks. Instead of using the cheap parts my plumber friend bought, they got a higher quality which will last longer, no extra cost.  Usually I worry about being charged too much but Blue Lion's rate was actually less than what a local handyman was going to charge me!! And Blue Lion has Master plumbers. I'm so extremely happy with how awesome the new kitchen faucet looks. Now I have my plumbing company for life! :) THANK YOU TEAM BLUE LION!

We needed an outdoor faucet replaced. Brad showed up promptly to our scheduled appointment, completed the job in less than an hour (including offering us some helpful advise for future planned plumbing needs), and charged a fair price for the work. We'll call him again!

Asked for a quote to disconnect two 40gal water heaters, remove from attic and connect two tankless water heaters and a soft water system.  The technician (Gabe) and owner (Cody) were straight forward, professional and offered expert advice without trying to up-sale unnecessary options.  Highly recommend!!!!

Tsanko saved me from a huge plumbing scam. He was helpful, straightforward and no BS. Will keep him in mind for future plumbing upgrade projects!

I hired David to install a water heater and a water softener for me. He is very knowledgeable, professional, courteous and honest. It was a real pleasure to work with him. Everything was installed very well and professionally. I communicated with several plumbers to select one and David was a true standout. I absolutely recommend him with no hesitation for all plumbing jobs.

Caleb and Doug are always so helpful and professional.  They have done several jobs at my home and they go the extra mile every time.  When I have questions they both don't hesitate to reach out and help.  A+ customer service.  I highly recommend Alamo Water Softeners.

We had Joey come to do a hydrostatic test (to see if any of the pipes in our foundation were leaking). They had a good price, and it was for the job, not per hour, which I liked. He was really professional and very nice. He wasn't creepy, and I felt comfortable having him in my home (I've met some weirdos, other women know what I mean). Here are some of the things I really liked:

1. He put shoe covers on each time he went in the house, and removed them when he went outside. He went in and out like 20 times, so that was impressive.

2. I was working from home while he was there and he let me work, only interrupting when necessary.

3. While the test was running, he did a free home inspection and fixed easy things, like a wiggly toilet seat. He recommended a few things, most of which he said my husband could easily do himself. The only big thing was our water heater... it's getting dangerously old, which I did not realize. He wasn't pushy about it at all though, even offering to add the parts it needed to get it to code (which really is pointless since it's so old, but I appreciate the alternative).

4. He used an iPad to give me instant quotes on the water heater options and emailed them to me. Payment was also done on the iPad. Nice up to date tech.

5. They have a membership program where you pay a fee (a hundred and something) and get 15% off everything for a year, plus no service call fees, and 2 free inspection/maintenence visits. With a bug purchase like the water heater it pays for itself.

6. The girl who answers the phone is really friendly and helpful.

The only negative was I waited towards the end of the 4 hour window and that's never fun. Apparently someone's pipes broke or something and they went to see them first. But at least I know if I ever have a emergency I'll come first, so that ok. All in all I was extremely impressed. Thanks Yelp for helping me find another great company!

We first met Jaime about 8 years ago when he was hired by our contractor to do the plumbing for a new addition on our central Austin home.  He did all the work for a new master bath, added a tankless water heater and removed old cast iron plumbing from our 1940s home.  Two years later he came back to reroute the plumbing in our guest bath.  He did great work with both jobs and we never had any issues while we lived there.

In 2019, I referred him to a friend who was experiencing a plumbing emergency at his rental.  My friend was super impressed with Jaime's responsiveness and work and was incredibly thankful to have found an honest, trustworthy plumber to help out during an incredibly stressful time.

And in February 2021, we had a pipe break in our new home after the major freeze.  We were panicked that we wouldn't be able to get it fixed timely since it seemed like everyone else in Austin was dealing with the same issue, but Jaime came to the rescue the next day and fixed the busted pipe.

In the 8 years we have called on Jaime, every single experience was top notch. I don't know what I appreciate the most about him: his professionalism, the prompt communication, the excellent work or how wonderfully nice and pleasant he is. The fact that we have been able to call on him to work on every single home we have owned in Austin really speaks volumes about the quality of his business and his work.  Thank you, Jaime, for always being there for us when we need you. You are the best!!!

I've used EZ Flow twice now and both times have been impressed. The first was during the option period of buying our house. We suspected a leak somewhere in the house and they came out the next day to take a look. Luckily there was no running leak to be found. The second time was just the other day. Our upstairs guest toilet seemed to be leaking all of a sudden and it ruined the downstairs bathroom ceiling. They came out the same day to take a look and diagnosed the issue quickly. Both times they gave an upfront cost before doing anything with no surprises at the end. We ended up replacing the toilet that leaked (thanks to a no wax ring that let half the flushed water out) and they told us exactly what to do so we could do it ourselves to save some money. They even gave us some new bolts for the toilet that were better than the ones that came it. Will need a new water heater soon and these guys will be my first call!

Blue Dragon Plumbing is:

1) Super Responsive
2) Will do an amazing job
3) Reasonably priced
4) Gilbert, with the exception of being a Philadelphia Eagles fan, is a darn nice guy.  

You will not be disappointed if you choose Blue Dragon for your plumbing needs

Fantastic customer service. Honest and transparent, Noel explained the entire reason as to why our AC system wasn't functioning properly.  We so appreciated the honesty and lack of pushy ness and fabrications. We'll be calling again... thank you..!

Texas All Cash Home Buyers have used Josh and his team at Mr. Rooter for over hundred service calls and renovation projects.  There friendly, scheduling when needed and very fair pricing.  They have become our preferred plumber of choice and would recommend them to anyone.

Best service in the area! I've been using their services for the past three years. All my experiences within the company have been fantastic. They are very honest, provide prompt service, and are genuine people. Highly recommend to anyone in need of their services!

Fast service, plumber was here within 30 to 45 minutes, showed us the problem, worked on the leak and called us outside again to show us what he had done.  Fast, courteous Jose was our Plummer.  Will recommend them!!!!!  Thank you Mr. Jose

I was looking for a plumber for a blockage and Elite messaged me through Yelp.  My appointment was for 12 noon.  I took time off work and no one ever showed up or bothered calling.  I know times are not exact, but I didn't even get a courtesy call to let me know they were running late.  I then received a text 30 minutes after they were scheduled to show up saying they would show up between 130 and 330.  The time of customers is important to them and running late, giving no courtesy call and then changing the time on customers is just not good business.  Telling your customers the times are an estimate after the fact is useless.  Iam aware of that.  Why not call your customers that are scheduled to inform them?  I went ahead and canceled due to the writing on the wall.

Our A/C system froze up a couple of times (the basic freeze, turn it off for an hour or so and it starts working again). We called John Wayne out to come look at it even though it was working fine other than the two couple of freeze ups since we thought some maintenance would be beneficial. He said it was likely our filter, but then did the whole salesman speech on the laundry list of ways a new unit would be better, etc. We told him we were fine without one for now and would just replace the filter, but would consider a new unit down the road. Then he went back outside before he left and we went and ran an errand. He calls us and says I don't know what I did, but all of a sudden your breaker won't stop flipping. Then when we get back 10 min later, our compressor (which was only 2 years old) is now grounded and fried to the point of not being fixable, so our entire system is dead.

The only recourse the JWC tech offered was, in his words, he replaced the breaker free of charge, because I'm not sure what I did there. And then pulled up his lengthy price sheet again. $3-5k to replace the compressor that was now fried, or $11-15k for a new unit. I had a expert with over 30 years in the business come out for a second opinion and he told me what happened to the system, and he was appalled that they did this to us.

I attempted to escalate to JWC, but they offered zero in the way of assisting to make it right. Said not their fault, nothing they would do other than come out and give us price options to replace our system.

Not sure if it was merely grossly negligent, or malicious and intentional, but I do know that our AC worked when they showed up, was completely dead by the time they left, and they offered nothing other than extremely expensive options to at least put me back in the position I was in when they got there.

Would avoid at all costs unless you want employees to damage your systems, and the company deny it and tell you it is not their problem. They could have made it right at a negligible cost to their massive company, but instead left us to fend for ourselves.

During the snow storm of 2021 a water pipe busted in my home. I called Roto-Rooter on a Monday and pleasantly found they were scheduling me for the next day.  Winter conditions continued and no show.  I called them at the end of the day and was told all scheduled appointments were moved to next day.  Next day no show, no call.  It's Friday and still no show, but what disturbs me most is no notice this whole time.  I only heard from them once and that's bc I called them.  Luckily my neighbor called A.L. Plumbing and after talking to their plumber he squeezed me in right there on the spot and fixed my problem.  A.L. Plumbing, 210-269-6346.  

I can't speak to R-Rs quality of service, but I can speak to their disregard for customer notification, time, and general courtesy.
