Best Businesses in San Antonio, TX

Amazing fast friendly service. Came to the house immediately after my water heaters gave out. Very reasonable and excellent workmanship.

We had a problem with our hot water (we have tankless) in our home we just moved into called a cold water sandwich, the water in the shower would start cold (which is normal), then get hot (which is normal), then go ice cold again (NOT normal), then maybe in a while would get hot again.

We hired a DIFFERENT plumber (not Thunderbird Plumbing) to come by, and after poking around for 40 minutes that idiot said I don't see any issues.  It takes a while for hot water to travel through the house, you need a hot water recirculator to fix this, which will involve us tearing up drywall throughout your house and cost thousands of dollars - we'll send you a quote.  

Before spending those thousands of dollars, we found Thunderbird Plumbing on Yelp looking for at least a second opinion.  Their voice mail said they were too busy right now, but we got a call back right away and they agreed to swing by the VERY NEXT DAY to take a look.  Jeff walks into our house, listens to my description, goes to the tankless hot water heater AND IN 3 MINUTES says Yeah, that's not right at all, I'm reproducing the issue, and it is displaying an error code.  Let me call tech support for this particular unit and we'll work through it.  

I sometimes get chills up my spine when the person in front of me fills me with confidence and I realize this is the right guy, right here, right now.  

About two hours later, Jeff says ok, I fixed several thing and I think you're good, but call me if it isn't fixed, I guarantee this work.  Jeff then explains in great detail, The air intake/exhaust wasn't hooked up right, maybe the wind knocked it at some point, maybe it was never hooked up right, but I fixed that and the error code stopped. Also, you are supposed to replace the water filter into the unit every few years and it really didn't seem like it had ever been replaced and the unit is 7 years old - so I replaced that.  Also, I descaled/decalcified the water heater, it was pretty bad, I don't think anybody had ever done that either so I descaled it.  I also went around to all your showers and cleaned out the sediment from all the shower heads.  It's working great now.  Oh yeah, somebody had turned the hot water heater temperature up too high probably to try to fix this incorrectly, I turned it down to the recommended setting.  It's not great to have it cranked that high, bad for the unit.

And from that point onward we had no more issues, everything worked the way it is supposed to, it even gets hot first thing in the morning in half the time.  No thousands of dollars on a recirculator that would not have solved the problem anyway.  No drywall work.  One visit by the right guy.

I'm never calling anybody else ever again.  Jeff is the plumbing whisperer.  He's the right guy.  And he doesn't charge NEARLY enough, not even close.

I called this morning to see if I could get a quote for a leaky hot water valve to my washing machine. He gave me a good ball park figure but assured me that if the work needed more than this, they would stop and let me decide what I wanted to do.  He asked me if I was available today and I was taken aback...I was expecting a few days before the technician could come...he arrived within 40 minutes to me calling for the quote. I showed him my issue and he had it fixed within 10 minutes and charged me HALF of what was quoted...HALF! I would use this company over and over again!

Give them a call! You will not be dissatisfied with them!

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.

They came out within an hour of my call.  I didn't expect them to, especially since the freeze recovery going on.  They replaced my water heater expansion tank and water heater drain valve, hooked up a dishwasher that I've been meaning to get hooked up and then checked my water lines.  In an out quick.  Great company!

This company is honest, dependable and reasonable.  They have worked at my houses several times.  They always show up and get the job done.  They were especially great after this last terrible ice storm.  I highly recommend them.

Rueben has been my plumber for 16 years. Except for being way too busy during Covid and the big freeze, he is always quick, friendly, knowledgeable and economical. You will not be disappointed.

I called American Leak Detection when I discovered my pool was losing water. They found the leak and I decided to have them do the repair. They estimated $2500-3000 based on not knowing exactly what would be required because the leak was determined to be underneath the flagstone pool deck. Two technicians came out and performed the repair in just under 2 hours. I have no complaints about the work done (so far so good) but I was charged $2550 ($2500 labor, $50 for materials) for the repair which I believe is unreasonable for the amount of work required to fix it.  Maybe I'm off base and $600+/hour is a fair labor rate for pool repair but I feel a little taken advantage of.

Tietze Plumbing Inc really came to our rescue! The dispatchers were quick and efficient. We had our hot water heater go out! Walker and Travis brought pure professionalism, knowledge, skill and excellent communication to help get our water heater replaced as it had already had the temp controls replaced previously and was 14 yrs old so was ready to be replaced. All of my questions were answered and different options were fully explained! Extreme respect was shown such as always wearing their facemasks and cleaning up thoroughly afterward. I highly recommend this family owned and operated business, which we like to support. Great service and we had hot water same day. We will definitely utilize them for any future plumbing needs!!

This is regarding handyman services. Requested two corners of fascia board to be replaced, maybe 12-15 linear feet altogether. Speaking to the estimator, Bob, I understood the 4hr minimum and a potential for overtime charges. Fine, I know the job could be done easily in 4hrs because I've done it myself but just don't feel like doing this kind of work any longer. So I get a call from the technician, Dan, who immediately, I mean immediately begins to tell me that a half-day will definitely not be enough time to perform the work. I explained in detail what needed to be done and he began regaling me with his carpentry prowess. Great, I love good work and I am a pretty good carpenter also so I welcome and appreciate workmanship. Dan continued telling me any number of different reasons why he could not do the work in the allotted time. After expressing my frustration with their estimating process I point blank suggested that Dan come give me 4hrs of hard work and he could leave promptly thereafter to which he replied that he was disinclined and he didn't like dealing with strong personalities. Well, cry me a river, Dan. I could go on in more detail but I want to get to the heart of the matter. Their estimating is lousy when they don't look at the job and tell customers about the 4hr minimum. It leads to precisely this kind of miscommunication. Additionally, it lends itself to precisely this kind of abuse with the technician, before even seeing the job, is trying to add more hours. It is a bait and switch plain and simple. And, if anyone at ABC replies to this I will assure you the first thing out of their mouth will be about the lengthy time in business and their integrity as a cover for this lousy and abusive system. One last thing, as I was speaking to the estimator I determined that if the technician needed materials the time spent running to fetch them would be part of the 4hr minimum. So, I got the necessary lumber, paint and painting supplies, caulk, ladder and even set out saw horses, extension cord etc. They are sitting in my yard in position for the work. All that dude had to do was show up and provide 4hrs of work, exactly what I contracted for...not one thing more and certainly not for more hours before he even showed up for work. 100% DO NOT RECOMMEND

Used Quest first time today and I am very impressed and pleased by their professionalism and knowledge. Clint detected leaking water heater problem immediately and proceeded to repair it efficiently and expertly explaining everything along the way.  Saved me some money by not having to by a new one, afterwhich he stayed to make sure water heater was heating properly and even checked water temps in all water faucets and shower. Reasonable price considering all work he did. Will definitely use Quest again.

Great service and hard working. Did work efficiently and in good time. Friendly team. Would recommend for different tasks. We had doors removed and new doors hung, mulch in our front and back yard beds and around trees, cut and trimmed bushes trees, removed carpet from tile, and helped with heavy lifting of items in home. Reasonable priced.

If you purchase a home and the builder uses Gibson Plumbing for warranty, run away and do not purchase the home. Gibson doesn't answer their emergency calls or call back and they don't back their warranty. Any other plumbing company is better than them and worth paying for.

Had a stopped up toilet.  I removed to see if I could fix.  I augured , got running again.  Put toilet back on to use.  Backed up again so I removed toilet and snaked it again but when running hose water it would back up so left toilet off and called my home warranty company.   They had 3 plumbers in the area.  First never called me back.  Ten days later I get John.   He shows up in a personal truck, red f150, with no decals, no indication he is even a plumber.  And no tools or equipment I could see.  He ran water down toilet then tried up selling me on what he thought he could do to fix the problem.  I know a crook when I see one and talk to one.  I really feel sorry for ladies with no knowledge about construction, systems, or maintenance.   This guy probably takes advantage of every situation he can.  As you can imagine, I asked him to leave.  Good luck!  The rest of their techs may be ok, but if John is yours, may the force be with you.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Some female said they'd be able to service our home the next day... the next day comes & she says they'd have to reschedule for the next day.... well that day comes & this dumb braud has the nerve to say they don't service our area (5 miles away).... my 3 kids went w/out water way longer than need be thanks to this company who asked for our address the day we set the apt up & never said they didn't service our area but proceeded to make an apt
