Best Businesses in San Antonio, TX

I had a clogged drain from my washing machine and Adam and Taylor came to get the job done.. They did an outstanding job diagnosing the problem. I watched as the camera went down the pipe and saw the debri that was clogging it up. They were able to get the machine on the roof and get my clog unstoppable. They were very professional. I really appreciated their customer service from the text showing a picture of who they are with a description about them to a phone call that they were on the way. When they were here they even gave me some pointers as a home owner. They have definitely earned my business and a high reccomendation. Keep up the good work guys!!!

Joaquin was very friendly and went above and beyond to explain what he was doing and what our plumbing issues were and gave several options as to go about fixing it. It was a simple unclogging  of the cleanout and he brought out the pipe camera and showed the interior of the pipes. Would  highly recommend and plan to use Andre's Pro Plumbing for all our future plumbing needs!

Plumbit was responsive and reliable when I needed service for a toilet clog and kitchen sink leak ASAP. They provided a 3-hour arrival timeframe and a text when they were en route. They resolved both issues and were very respectful of the home.

They offer FREE ONSITE ESTIMATES and gave me a quote via Yelp's Request for Quotes before they came out. This local business also has the heart to support our military and first responders with a discount.

Really phenomenal experience! I've had several SA plumber/repair experiences with my house/appliances and by far Blue Lion plumbing was the BEST! Our water heater was going bad and not only did they give us a fair and fast online quote (which was one of the more affordable options that included a warranty) they followed up a few days later to double check if we had questions. We were actually saving up for the water heater replacement during that time. Then, all of a sudden we came home one evening and the old water heater was leaking water into the carpet. I sent a message around midnight and had a response by 7am the next morning and they FIT us into their schedule the very next day! Heather and Martin are fantastic! Really impressed and will absolutely call them again if we have any plumbing needs! Great customer service, friendly and knowledgeable staff and affordable price. Really can't beat that! :-)

Brad is the nicest guy, but more importantly a great plumbing professional.  He showed up when he said he would, and he got the job done.  (I had called two other plumbers, one missed his appointment (no phone call) and then blew me off the second time).

He was here a couple of hours working on two different projects (installing new laundry lines) and repairing a leaky bathroom faucet (one of those funky one's that come out of the back splash).  For what he did and how long he was here, I thought his rate was reasonable.  He even suggested using Pex instead of copper which would be less expensive).

Thanks!  Definitely recommend him.

ETA: I have edited the review to add a photo that shows the written estimate that Cody sent me after we got off the phone. Before accusing a customer of lying, one would be smart to check their records and make sure they don't have proof to back up their claims. As noted, my initial interactions with this company left me feeling they were less than honest with their lack of transparent pricing. However, the harassment by Cody and Adam after leaving a 3-star review initially are what earned them a 1-star review. The reply to this one-star review below tells you all you need to know about Cody's character. In looking at other low reviews (to which PlumbSmart replied to every single one, blaming the customer), I now see that others have mentioned their high-pressure sales tactics. BUYER BEWARE!

P.S. Apparently this company works really hard to get Google to remove any review that is not 5-star, even when the review states facts and has receipts to prove it. I now realize PlumbSmart's 5-star rating on Google is not authentic. As Cody mentioned, Yelp does not allow businesses to bully or buy their way out of low reviews. Thank goodness!

Original Review: I reached out to this company for a quote for a water softener installation for our new home. The price I was quoted was $3,000 for the cheapest water softener they sell, plus an extra $2,000 for a carbon filter. That's high compared to other quotes, but no big deal. Companies can make up whatever price they wish.

The kicker for me was that I couldn't get a straight answer on the price to install a plumbing loop. I was told it would be between $800-$1500, but they would need to come out to the house to give me a price. Okay, that's fine. However, I was then told I was going to be charged $79 for a tech to come out to the house to tell me the price for the install. They advertise here on Yelp, Free Estimates, but apparently that is false advertising (see photo).

The final thing that didn't sit well is that they wanted me to commit to having the work done on the day that they came out to give the quote. I don't make a decision on a purchase that is over $6,000 on the spot. That is a very high pressure sales tactic. Ultimately, this made me choose another company.

That alone led to a 3-star Google review. However, after leaving that review, the two owners of the company, Cody and Adam, harassed me so much that I lowered my review to 1-star. What did that harassment look like? They collectively called and texted me TWELVE times in the span of one hour, calling from different numbers when I didn't answer the first number. They likely would have continued, but I blocked their numbers.

Clearly, they have some other good reviews, so I sincerely hope they were (both?) having an off day when they blew up my phone on Monday. However, based on the fact that they worked so hard to get me to take down my honest (3-star) review recounting my experience with their company, I question the legitimacy of their 5-star rating here. While I did not end up hiring them, my experience with them absolutely reflects their professionalism--or lack thereof. You can check my other Yelp reviews to see the awesome company we ended up choosing instead!

I got Tsanko's contact from Yelp because of the great reviews. He is very knowledgeable, reasonable, and very fast. He saved me from a water pipe burst and almost another catastrophic nightmare with the water pressure in the house. He makes sure you understand the problem before he move forward on anything. He is always ready help out.

After calling for the first time, David and Michael came quickly to my house and gave me a fair quote.  I felt at ease with them and felt confident based on previous reviews that the guys were honest and fair.  The only reason I didn't give them five stars is that I had to show David how to plug up our toilet after he used the long plunger for 30 mins to clear the drain.  After I clogged up the toilet, the diagnosis was, I need a stronger toilet (with bigger diameter p-stopper).  New language I have learned.  Over a hundred dollars later, I was told I need a stronger toilet.  At least I know I don't have a clogged pipe.

This company is the real deal. We weren't pre-plumbed for the softener and had gotten bids from others on digging to find where the water came in. I was on the phone talking to Dallas, a member of the sales team, trying to explain where the water main was at my house. We ended up on FaceTime so I could walk him around my property (Covid 19 precautions.) I instantly trusted him. He was so knowledgable, not at all pushy, and answered all of my questions. I called him back when I thought of other questions. We texted back and forth. Throughout the whole process he was patient and helpful. The other companies I talked to were going to just put a drain out to the yard, but Dallas asked about the location of our laundry room and as it turns out they were able to rout the brine out to the septic system, without having to dig a line all the way over there.

Last year we had another company come and dig for two hours, charge us $500 and never found the line. We gave up until a few weeks ago. When we decided on Alamo their crew came out and found it within 30 minutes, in the SAME place the other company had dug! Alamo's installation process was fast and efficient. And then Blake came out later to install our reverse osmosis filter and he and Bishop were so professional and great to work with.

There's a reason Alamo has five stars. They are honest, experienced, hardworking and affordable. I am super happy with my new system!

At'a Boy!! These folks are great! Even when you don't know what your looking for or need they understand! Go to for my plumbing needs!

I woke up to both of my bathrooms flooded and Santana plumbing company squeezed me in and within an hour found and fixed the problem. Prices arent bad, he finished in a timely manner,  and he even gave me info to help in the future. I'm so glad that I called them and they're local. They were great.

Our water heater needed to be replaced and we called EZ Flow.  Wow, just wow, what an amazing installation.  Emilio walked me through the upgrades and updates (new drainage pan, expansion tank, et cetera), explained their purpose and usage, and completed everything in a timely manner.

There's no question we'll go to EZ Flow Plumbing for any future plumbing needs we have.  We could not be more pleased!

Gilbert came out (masked up) on time, and did a great job installing two new kitchen and laundry room faucets. He brings a positive attitude, professionalism, and you can tell he loves his job! Highly recommend.

These guys are awesome! Came over with no issues to inspect my system and pointed out CO2 problem & were able to fix the system same day! Great service, great customer service, and great value! Noel & Jesse were professional, quick, and clean. Answered all my questions and were very knowledgeable about the HVAC system and explained why there was a problem & what it took to fix it. Very transparent about what they were suggesting and why. Recommend services!

Josh from Mr. Rooter came out promptly when I had a busted shower valve that forced the water to stay on and prompted me to shut off water to the entire house. He was thorough and efficient in providing an analysis of the problem and conveying it in an understandable manner.

I was back up and running quickly and the valve works better than I ever remember it working.

It's worth noting that although Josh operates as Mr. Rooter, he's still a local business that is 100% Veteran owned and a native of the area. This is the only guy I'll ever call for my plumbing needs in the future.

Guarantee Plumbing & AC was available when I needed someone quickly to repair a broken pipe during my foundation repair. Luis even showed up earlier than expected and was able to quickly repair the broken pipe. I greatly appreciate their responsiveness, timeliness and ability to completely resolve my water woes in time of need. I will certainly contact Guarantee in the future for my plumbing needs.

We called at 8 with water pouring out of our shower, so we turned off the water to the whole house. They said they'd be out by 9:30, called at 9:40 no one answered so I left a message. Called again at 10 was told plumber had difficulty at previous job couldn't show up until some time between 12-1, still no one shows up and no one calls, so we call again and they had pushed us back to 7:30 AM. All this waiting and no water and no call from them and they aren't willing to help they just say, well sorry. So much for 24 hour service or any service for that matter.

This plumbing company is absolutely wonderful. At first I thought price was a little steep for a quote but they replaced a part and came back when I still had an issue with the same faucet for free! Every employee has come to my home has been very nice and professional. I definitely recommend elite plumbing and as a new homeowner will be utilizing their services for any future problems! Thank you elite!

I needed an AC tune-up and decided to go with Jon Wayne, even after reading some of the reviews here on their flaky appointment scheduling.  I should have paid more attention.  I made an appointment on their online calendar for a 2-hr window and received a call saying it wasn't applicable for tune-ups even though it was an online option due to higher priority 'emergencies'.  I was told they were working to update their system.  I decided to go with an appointment the following week.  Almost 90 mins into the 2-hr window I received a call from them saying they needed to reschedule to another day due to other scheduling conflicts (paraphrased) and if that would be ok.  Of course it's not ok.  I had to take off work for this and they wait until the appointment window to try and move it.  They then offered to keep me updated on progress throughout the day to be able to come later.  I told them to forget it.  I told the guy I knew they were canceling for higher profit calls and that I had seen that called out in their reviews by others.  This is not how to run a business or attract new customers and judging by the 2.5 star rating, I'm not the only one.  And to Jon Wayne, don't bother responding to my rating with spin.  You have severe business ethics issues.

They quoted my plumbing to be $3000 for 40ft of pipe work to be done and they only did 5 feet of pipe and my wife didn't check because we have a baby and I was at work so they made her sign without telling her they changed the plan, and still charged us $3000. Watch out for these scammers
They charged me for 35 ft and only did 5ft of pipe, I did not get my money back.
