Best Plumbing Services in San Antonio, TX

My lawn really suffered the last few weeks of the summer when several of my sprinklers heads were broken and then the entire system just stopped working. Now that spring is upon us I really needed a reputable company to help get my system up and running at a reasonable cost. I called George based on several local recommendations and he did not disappoint. He was able to come out and quickly diagnose the issue, provide a solution as well as a reasonable quote to have everything repaired. George and his crew came by the next day and within a few hours I was controlling my new and improved sprinkler system through my smartphone.

I would recommend Diamond Irrigation & Backflow to anyone looking for a person who is knowledgeable, courteous, professional, and fair!

They were quick to respond. They came out the next day. They were on time, fast and efficient. The price was reasonable.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND:

Had a kitchen faucet replaced (I suppled the faucet- he was cool with that). Plumber also replaced two cutoff valves-one that needed to be replaced right now and one the plumber recommended since it was old. ( He gave me a choice about whether to do second valve ) . Price was fair, comparable to other quotes. Gave me a discount on installing the new valves since it was an add-on.

Very fast next day morning service, prompt arrival at appt. time. Worked neatly (minimal spillage ) and cleaned and dried under the sink thoroughly after the job was finished.

Great job all the way around.

I've dealt with a lot of contractors during my 71 years but never any contractors better than Randy and Daniel with ET's Plumbing & Rooter. They installed a toilet for us and were very polite, clean and professional. Ron & Shirley C.

Highly recommend Mr. Jose Chavez (210) 815-3693. He does awesome work, is very professional and doesn't price gouge. He took the time to explain what he was doing. Definitely recommending him for plumbing needs.

Instantly our heroes. We'd received a bid from another company that wanted to replace all the sprinkler​ heads for over $2000. I called Austex for a second opinion.  Phil and Tyler arrived and immediately determined that the heads did not need to be replaced. Whew!  Next Phil determined that a wire was redundant to a rotor and fixed that (saving us thousands of gallons of water), fixed the errant 4 sprinkler heads. He also found a couple of leaks.  So Austex (ala Phil) has demonstrated both competency and proficiency in irrigation systems maintenance​ and repair. He reprogrammed our clock to save us hundreds of dollars of water usage​, and saved Texas some precious water.  Austex is terrific and we're thrilled to have found them. That's a big 5 Texas Star rating and much appreciation.

Very honest, respectful, diligent and kept us in the loop of status on where they were to reaching my parents house. Despite the weather ordeal and weather they made it out in a timely fashion and fixed it on the spot!!!

Good plumbers are hard to find!  I knew exactly what the issue was, and of the 12 plumbers I called, only 3 were willing to give me prices over the phone.  Atlas offered the best price and was able to come out the very next morning.  A different company came out to offer a free estimate, but wanted to charge me $688 for a bandaid fix with other package options increasing in price up to $2500.  Atlas plumbing did the job for $265.  They were prompt, professional, courteous, and honest.  They did a GREAT job, and they did it fairly and well.  I recommend them to everyone!

We are doing a re-model of a home in Canyon Lake and hired Clint DIxon as our plumber.  For the first few months, he was relatively reliable, and we paid him as per his fee schedule.  In early November, he informed us that we needed a sump pump for our septic to function properly.  He asked us to pay him in advance $600 for the cost of the pump and $160 for installation of the pump.  Within 15 minutes of leaving our home he cashed our check and has been ignoring our phone calls ever since.
When we called him from another phone number (so he did not know it was us) he informed us that he had spent the money and could not purchase the pump but that he would buy it with money that his father gave him at Christmas, and would install it on Dec. 27th.  Needless to say, he did not, and continued to ignore our phone calls until we threatened him with legal action.  He then purchased the pump (according to the store, the cost of the pump is $400, not $600) and left it in our yard.  He now owes us $200 for the pump, and $160 for advance payment on his labor.
We are now in the process of hiring another plumber to install the pump.  Clint has once again disappeared and is not accepting any of our phone calls.  I would NOT recommend him as a plumber to anyone, any time.

Some of the good things about Mr. Plumber: they have a receptionist who will answer phone calls during business hours, and they offer professional and fast service visits.  When I called on Friday morning, they said they could send a plumber out the very same day.  I scheduled the appointment for Tuesday morning, and they sent a reminder call about an hour before, just as promised.

At the appointment, the plumber arrived on time and was knowledgeable.  Instead of a leaky pipe, he said I have a leaky faucet that needs to be replaced.  That was OK with me, but unfortunately, the plumber quoted $575 to replace the faucet.  I thought that was too much, since faucets costs between $100 and $180 at Lowe's. For a simple thing like switching out a kitchen faucet, I would expect not to pay more than $200 for the labor.

So I opted to cut my losses and pay the $65 for the Mr. Plumber visit.  That's their charge for going out there, when you JUST SAY NO to their services.

Thankfully there was some good timing ...  right after I got the bad news from Mr. Plumber, Mike's Plumbing Service called me back, and he said he would install the new faucet for $165.  After that, I bought a faucet for $99 + tax ($108) from Lowe's.

The other option I had was to buy the faucet from Lowe's on Callaghan Road, and they charge a $99 installation fee for faucet installation.  I think they contract it out because you have to come in to the store and sign a contract for the plumbing installation.  I went with Mike's Plumbing Service, even though it cost a bit more, because I'm out of town and unavailable to sign the Lowe's contract.  And I wanted the leak fixed sooner rather than later.  If I had been in town, I probably would have gone with Lowe's installation for $99 instead of Mike's price of $165.

So now I'm at $65 for Mr. Plumber, $108 for the new faucet, and $165 for Mike's Plumbing Service.  That's a total of $338 to replace that leaky faucet.

Although that's a lot of money ... it's considerably cheaper than than the $575 quoted by Mr. Plumber.   Whew!

Faucet I'm getting (cheap plastic parts, but made in the USA?)

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. We used Franco on a recommendation and the entire process has been a joke.  We had a leak in the shower faucet he said he fixed it for $500 only to be told that the entire shower and bath tub area needed to be ripped out because the leak was in the shower wall. No credit for the $500 already paid. The walls and bath tub were ripped out and we were left for 4 days with an exposed moldy wet mess, he had a church retreat to go to, that should have been our first clue that the project was going to go sour. Then, after asking and asking for a written estimate, 2 weeks later,  he wrote one because we refused to give him any money. Now, 2 months later we are still trying to get Mr. Franco to complete the project. We are not paying him the balance of $3362 until the project is complete. He blames every problem or delay on someone else. This is his business. Days go by with no work done only empty excuses. Now, he tells us that he is retired, retired? then why start the project??? As of tomorrow he is going on vacation and sending his Pastor to complete the project. That says a lot right there. If you read a positive review on this company it was probably written by him or one of his family members.

Edward was GREAT! After getting the run-around from my home warranty Old Republic Home warranty (ORHP), Edward replaced my hot water heater, by himself! He is very personable, professional & extremely hard working! Champion is truly Blessed to have such employees. Thanks!!!

This guy had his assistant work a total of 1 hour 10 minutes and charged me for 2.5 hours at $87.50 per hour ONLY for the labor.  When I asked about the charges he said that he is master plumber not a handyman that is why he charged that much. He said that even though they didn't work the full 2.5 hours he was charging for driving from his office which is 10 minutes from my house.  So according to him it took them 2.5 hours just to change the washers and seats from the shower handles.  You want to hire this guy?  go ahead, his number is up there.

Called at 10:30 AM for a clogged main. Was exciting hear a tech would be here in 30-45 minutes.
90 minutes pass & no one showed up so I had to call & follow up. I was told this time 2 more hours because someone had truck problems.
No one shows up after two more hours so I call again.
This time I was told 90 minutes because the tech was just finished with another job & is headed my way.
3rd time calling after not being contacted that the timeline they gave me was still running late.
I call exactly 60 minutes later for the 4th time to see when a tech would be arriving. I was told another hour.
After another hour passed I called to cancel & was told a tech will be here in 45 minutes.
I kindly declined because no one had show up the previous 5 times I was told, why would this be different?

I waisted my entire Sunday waiting for no one to show up.
Unreliable & unapologetic. Not once did they apologize for all the screw ups.

0 stars! The owner Steve is rude and was yelling at me lying about a quote he gave me even when he did not! They charged me $426, they were here less than 30 min and did not send me a receipt. I called the office to ask for my receipt because I want to know why exactly I was charged that much and that's when the owner, Steve, starts yelling at me telling me because they did a job and that no one ever request a receipt! Do NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE THIEVES! Rude, and way over priced. The plumber was nice but not nice enough to be worth $426, and he had his young apprentice doing the actual work! DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY, horrible business practice. And they didn't even honor the 10% military discount
