Best Businesses in San Antonio, TX

Very reasonable pricing & they were efficient. My water heater went out & I chose them for replacement & install. I was glad I did! They are fellow parishioners at my church. Plus, master plumber certified, licensed & insured for peace of mind. Highly recommend!!

Based on good Yelp reviews I called them and am very satisfied. He was polite and lucky for me had an appointment available that day. He arrived at the expected time and continued to be very polite and informative. I found their pricing to be very reasonable and he got the job done. Yay for Thunderbird Plumbing and Yelp!

I had a Yelp thread with Mr Mitchell during the freeze of 2021. Knowing that all plumbers were going to be super busy during this time, so on Wednesday we set up an appointment for Saturday 02/20 between noon-2pm. I had lost water and turned off my main water line just in case there was a problem (Flume was showing 20 gallons/hour being used but nothing coming into the house).

On Friday, I called and personally talked with Mr Mitchell to confirm we were still good for Saturday - he said we were.

Saturday, I received no call or updates from Mr Mitchell so I decided to call him at 2:30pm to confirm he was still coming out. I got no answer but got an automated text message directing me to text him, I figured this was because he was on another job so I texted him when could I expect him to arrive - no reply.

After several attempts to get him to respond, I decided to turn on the water myself and slowly open faucets (started outside then worked my way inside).

Everything was going well so I texted Mr Mitchell that he didn't need to come out - he replied ok.

4 minutes later I noticed a leak at one of my backyard faucets - the line is fully above ground and there was a 1 gash in the copper.

I immediately (4 minutes later) responded to Mr Mitchell's ok text that I still needed him to come and provided a picture. Several calls and texts were never responded to - forcing me to find another contractor willing to come out.

I fully understand that these were unprecedented times and would have understood him showing up later or needing to reschedule but there was zero communication the entire day of the agreed upon repair date and time. Not once did Mr Mitchell attempt to contact me during this whole ordeal.

Just goes to show that in times of crisis the customer is at the mercy of the service provider. A little courtesy would have gone a long way and I would not be writing this review.

Also - the repair took about 15 minutes to complete once the other contractor arrived - easy money. The person that actually came out was $100 cheaper without even trying to negotiate.

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!

The folks are H20 Specialists are pros. We have had them work on a variety of projects in our home from installing a tankless water heater; to new plumbing fixtures; to responding to an emergency plumbing leak. They always get the job done right. They are incredibly pleasant to work with from the office to the on-site plumbers. I highly recommend them.

This is a father & son business.  They are quite knowledgeable and have a friendly, business-like demeanor.  They have been to my house 3-4 times since 2007 to fix a problem and charges have been very reasonable.  I recommend them highly.

We had a disappointing experience with American Leak Detection.  It started off well when their tech came out to first look for the leak.  He was timely and professional, and by all accounts did his job properly.  He located our leak underneath a large stone walkway just a few feet outside of our front door.  They charged us $575 which we felt was fair and were thankful for the information.  

We then had some plumbers come out to get quotes on actually repairing the leak.  They were quite skeptical that there would be a pipe in that particular location and recommended we double check before proceeding with excavating underneath the walkway.  So, American Leak Detection came out again and located the leak in approximately the same spot.  They charged $350 for coming back out which we again thought was fair.  

We then hired a plumbing service to do the actual repair, part of which included $2000 for excavation.  They excavated underneath the walkway and found nothing.  No pipe.  No leak.  Just a bunch of rock and soil.  They did locate a leak about 20 ft away (not under the walkway) and repaired it.  

When I emailed American Leak Detection to let them know what had happened, their initial response was encouraging.  The employee that called seemed genuinely concerned about the issue and spoke glowingly of the owner and how much he cared about their customers.  They asked if they could come back out a third time and essentially do a post-mortem analysis, which we of course agreed to.  Afterward, they acknowledged that they should have located the leak in its actual location and not underneath the stone walkway.  They told us that their method is not foolproof, which was really more in the form of an excuse than an apology.  Also, we would have liked to have known that from the beginning instead of them standing behind their results when others were questioning it.  They offered a refund of the $575 we initially paid for them to come out, but said they needed to keep the other $350 to cover their costs.  We appreciated the offer, but there was no apology and no concern about the financial burden created for us by their mistakes.  

They eventually had a change of heart and agreed to refund all of the $925 we had paid them (for which we are grateful), but refused to help cover any amount of the $2000 we paid Steve's Plumbing to go looking for a leak that never existed.

The process of receiving a refund was drawn out over several weeks and mostly consisted of speaking with someone who was very defensive, said a lot of things about the situation that didn't make sense, and whose story changed several times.  She said we should have hired them to do the repair, but based on initial conversations and additional understanding provided by other plumbers, their reliance on their technology probably would have resulted in the actual leak being missed and a bunch of holes being made in our house to reroute our main line unnecessarily.

We can understand why the company wouldn't want to set a precedent of paying for plumbing services they didn't provide.  What we can't understand is how a company that claims to care so much about its customers can't even muster a passing sorry for the inconvenience when their mistakes prove to be very costly for those who hire them.  We would feel very differently about this situation if they had at least acknowledged and maybe even apologized for the $2000 we lost.  Instead, they chose to circle the wagons so fast they were rendered incapable of even the slightest bit of empathy, making it impossible to consider how the situation might actually be affecting one of their customers.  When we needed them to be the company they purport to be, they chose to be defensive and could not have cared less about out predicament.

So, based on our experience, I cannot in good conscience recommend that you hire this company (or at least this particular branch as they have multiple locations).  The 1 star review has nothing to do with the employees that came out or even the fact that their information was flawed.  Their technology isn't perfect and can't account for every single variable that might come up.   It has everything to do with how they chose to treat one of their customers when things didn't go according to plan.

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!!

I have hired ABC Residential Pest service to do regular pest control in my house. I do not know what to expect from any pest control servide, but when I saw some ants pop up, the gye came in within 1/2 hour and sprayed some more.

5 Stars all the way.  Clint Morris was extremely professional and completed his work in less than 30 minutes.  He took the time to explain exactly what he was going to do and why he was doing it.  How many times do you get a quote for a repair and it ends up costing less?  I could not believe it costs less.  I will definitely call Quest if I ever have any future plumbing needs.

Installed 2 light fixtures for me and were fast, responsive and reasonably priced.  I would definitely recommend.

They were who my builder had install the plumbing 2 yrs ago. My pressure regulator valve went out 2 yrs and 1 month after install (1 month after the 2 yr warranty expired). So I called them to see what they could do. They said that they could send a tech out that morning since they were on a job nearby. 6 hrs and 2 additional phone calls later they finally showed up. Even though the part failed, they didn't cover it since my warranty expired, so $220 was the cost to replace. The tech had to dig to access the pipe, but he could have taken a little more care to make it easier to put the grass back together but no, he flung grass and dirt everywhere. Had to get additonal soil and grass seed to patch the area back up. And he did not like the fact that I stood there and watched him do the repair. Sorry but if I'm paying someone to do a job, I have the right to watch and make sure it's done. My overall experience with this company is poor. They probably have decent price for builders but I would never call them again to do any future work on my house. I do not recommend this company for any homeowner to hire, look someplace else.

Had Fred Wrights come out (Preferred vendor from our home warranty company) to fix a leaky sink, leaky faucet and septic drain issue in May 2012. As of October 2012, I still have 2 out of the three issues unresolved and the guy from Freds quoted $9,000 (!!) to dig under my slab and fix the roots that had gotten into the drainage pipe. I called a second company to come out and paid them $227 to fix without digging under anything. Dishonest and incompetent company.

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
