Best Plumbing Services in San Antonio, TX

I'm giving 2.5 stars bases on Yelp's description of the stars.  I will recommend to folks where cost is not an issue.

Gist: $540 ($490 with Military Discount) to replace a Pressure Reducing Valve.  The job took 1 hr from knock on the door to payment.  So that is 85.00 for the part and $405/hr labor (w/ fuel & prorated business costs).  

Call for quote before replacing PRV if you have the following:  Jack hammer sound when flushing any toilet or running any faucet.  I took the steps to clear a water hammer but the problem continued.  

Cons:
- Cost (Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me)
- Plays word games when doing reputation management
-----------
*Response to Owner comments*:  
Your guy was great, he had the problem diagnosed as I was describing it. I'm guessing because he had the new part in his car that this is a fairly common issue.

Is this the first time you have replaced a PRV valve in the new residential Alamo Ranch Area?  No, probably not.   Valve was 8 inch below the surface and easily accessible.

He knew this was a quick job but I didn't. I asked how long it takes on average and he said I don't know, we have to dig.  I asked him how much that part normally runs and he said he didn't know because you don't buy from Home Depot.

Average cost w/ labor online in 350.  Add the 350 plus the 65.00 you charge for the visit without service, that is 415.  It was worth it, at that point, to spend the 75$ just to have it done now.   Again, I didn't know the cause before you came out, otherwise I would have compared quotes.

I would prefer that in the future you ask a fair price for jobs you have a good understanding of, not the I don't know, maybe it could cost 1 to 3 hour price.   That is the difference between 2.5 (ok) and 5 stars (great).

Fun fact:  Brain Surgeons make $175/hr. on average.

- Very Fast response
- Professional Staff
- Same day appointment without fee
- Good Work
- (edit) Will work in 100 degree heat

I needed a plumber right away to stop a water main leak with the overflow running down the street. After calling several companies, Andres plumbing was available to come out the same afternoon.  I found them to be responsive, reliable and trustworthy.  A crew came out and dug up the yard to get to the leak, and the plumber repaired the leak using a flexible hose to prevent future breaks.  I was sent an invoice via email and then contacted the following morning by the office and payed by credit card.  I was surprised that I wasn't asked to pay on the spot once the work was completed. My overall experience was positive despite the unanticipated expense.

I had a great experience with Henry and his team from Plumbit Plumbing Services! They were prompt to answer my request for a quote and came out same day to provide it. The following day, I made an appointment for their services and they came out 3 hrs later. Henry and his team are very honest,efficient and kind. I'm very satisfied with the pricing and outcome. If I ever need a plumber again, I'll definitely being calling them!

Had a great experience with Martin! He was the best quote we received and he was able to replace the water heater by himself! Other companies were trying to charge me extra because they said they needed 2 guys to replace a 75 gal water heater. Amazingly Martin did it all by himself. He was able to come fix it in a day and answered all of my questions. We even had him come back and put a drain in for a second job. He is my go to plumber now!

A very rude person, I called to ask for a quote and he quote me something with a huge range. I then asked if he could come by when ever he was in my part of the town and he started going on about how he would loose business  if he did that. OMG, i was just asking as I wanted a quote, if the range was in few hundred $$ i was even fine but said it all depends on what have to replaced. I would stay away from people like this. He needs to tone himself down and be at least less rude to win new business. He could be a one man show and I understand he can't drive all around town but working with your customer as I was very flexible and he was point blank rude. Watch out if you are a new customer.

PlumbSmart was able to fix the crack pipe problem that happened due to the freezing temperatures. My outdoor pipe cracked due to the freezing temperatures. I talked with Cory and explained the problem. A technician was dispatched to my home within 2 hours. Roger was courteous and corrected the problem promptly. I will definitely use PlumbSmart for any further plumbing issues or changes in the future.

Class act.  They ran a gas line for me in my backyard and changed the water shut-off for me.  They were very professional, always punctual and did a great job.  Plus they were very flexible in working with me to design the system and get the permits.  I highly recommend them if you want a job done right, and for a reasonable price.

David was really nice and like another review he did request pictures first which I sent. He came and looked at the stuff I needed done and told me it was $180/hr up front but not until he started the job did he tell me I needed new faucets that he didn't have and if he did it would cost me more money to get from him instead of just purchasing and having him install. He basically tightened a bunch of screws on the things he could fix and charged $340. I still need the get the faucets and have them installed. I didn't realize it would cost so much and not have everything done. I did agree to his price terms but in the end I feel like I got the short end of the stick.

Back in the day I was looking for a company for my water softener needs and Alamo Softeners came to the rescue! Not only did they give me a free reverse osmosis system, they did an awesome job! Finally, I'm impressed with them because I didn't have good credit and wasn't able to pay for it up front, so they basically installed it on good faith that I would pay them in full. The are trusting and honest working company. They are truly a blessing !

Chris and David came out to fox a water line leak in my ceiling. They were respectful and attentive listening to me describe my problem. They then quickly looked at the situation and proposed a cost to fix the problem. Although the price was high for the time and supplies they did quick work and fixed the problem. Great service but the price is high for 1 hour total time.

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.

Simply the best anywhere. Incredibly responsive. It doesn't matter if you get Emilio, Theo, or anyone else there, they are ALL top notch. I can't say enough about this company's work ethic, honesty, and responsiveness.

After the city dug up our street to replace a water main we had much lower water pressure.   The city's attitude was 'too bad so sad'.  

I called Blue Dragon, and feared a very expensive repair would be required.

Andrew from Blue Dragon came out to work the problem.  He was pleasant, articulate, and clearly competent.    

He did some kind of flushing of some of the water lines, replaced a clogged toilet mechanism, and cleaned the filters on several sink faucets.  

In less than an hour and at a very reasonable charge we had water pressure again!!

I was very pleased and will use Blue Dragon again the next time I need a plumber.

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..!

Andrew, from Mr. Rooter, was awesome! It wasn't my property, but I manage the maintenance for it. He called the tenant beforehand, then called me when he arrived and told me the total price. After accepted, he immediately started working on it. We had the kitchen faucet leaking a bunch of water. After he finished, voilá! No more leaking. If you request services from Mr. Rooter, ask them to send Andrew.

The 4 stars are because I found it a bit pricey (almost $400), but the service was good, quick, and reliable.

Best plumbing service ever!!!!  Troy King was at my house in less than an hour after I called. Replaced my water softener and worked with me on the price.  Did a number of small plumbing jobs as well.  I will always use this company for all my plumbing needs!  The company also gives a 10% military discount.  Troy was very professional and knowledgable and went the extra mile to complete the job.

Got great service from AAA Auger last Sat.  Had a backed up drain to the kitchen sink and washer.  Phoned AAA Auger due to other positive comments & the coupon in the phone directory.  A human answered the phone & quickly had me scheduled for an appointment for mid-afternoon that same day.  Harold (72) & Joseph (43) came to fix the problem and were very professional, competent, helpful, and went the extra mile for us.  We were very pleased with their service and the whole experience with AAA Auger, San Antonio.  Thanks!

It's very hard to find an honest plumber with fair prices. Pete and his team have proven several times to be a group of plumbers who are knowledgeable, prompt to provide service within the day or day after, and with fair prices. And that is very hard to find with plumbers. Also what I love is that Pete gives you a fair set price before hand without any last minute surprises like other plumbers do.

All these 4 characteristics make Elite Plumbing Solutions to be a 5 star company.

Returned my call for service approximately 10 days after I made the initial contact requesting help with an ac unit that suddenly and unexpectedly stopped working. Had no AC in the house and requested an advisor to quote for a complete system, condenser, coil, and furnace. Never heard back. In the meantime had 4 other contractors come out evaluate my concerns and offered solutions. Ultimately choose a professional company with a great parts AND Labor warranty. Couldn't be more happy with my new Carrier unit. Sorry John  Wayne maybe you have more business than you can handle or maybe I just fell through the cracks, but my family needed relief from the heat and humidity all through STAR testing and in my opinion you all failed miserably

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.
