Best Water Heater Repair in Houston TX

After having repairs made to our sprinkler system we lost almost all water pressure to our home.  It was so bad we could barely even run water for a minute to wash our hands.  I called other plumbers but Wedgeworth was the only company able to provide me with a next day appointment and offered a free estimate.  The others charged $100 just to show up.  

James quickly diagnosed the problem, and restored our water pressure.  He was also kind enough to take apart a bathtub faucet and clean out the valve at no additional charge, even though it had no bearing on the original job.  I will most definitely call Wedgeworth in the future.

WOW! I have not hired Acosta yet and I was totally impressed with the appointment setting, response time and willingness to accommodate our schedule for an Estimate!  As a Realtor Professional, I have done business with all the ARS, John Moore, Mercy, Hartford, but Acosta is now #1 on my preferred contractor list. We really Love Acosta Plumbing because they are genuine and not just about chasing and charging money.

Audits fixed 3-4 burst pipes in a single afternoon. Highly recommend. Arrived early to the property and is knowledgeable on plumbing.

I've used Plumbco in the past, and I've had good experiences with them. But Gary exceeded my expectations recently when I couldn't be at home for our appointment. Luckily my contractor was there and let Gary in. Gary called me to tell me one of the problems I had was a missing part on my faucet that got lost when our kitchen cabinets and countertops were replaced. He said we could order a new part or replace the faucet. Since we had been without a kitchen for 4 weeks we wanted it fixed ASAP so Gary went to the store and called me with pricing on various faucets. I picked one out over the phone and he installed it. I really like that Gary gets the job done every time, no matter what it takes.

Should be 10 stars. The owner spent literally hours on the phone with my home warranty company to get them to do what they said they would. The technician (Chris) went above and beyond to make sure his removal and replacement of my water heater was accomplished professionally, efficiently and absolutely in compliance with all codes. He took extra care to protect my home as the utility room could only be accessed from the the living area.
In short this company has earned my confidence in them and I would absolutely recommend them to everyone. Bravo!

Hugo really wowed me. He did 3 jobs for me today, one fairly complicated. The results surprised and delighted me--and he charged less than I expected. I would DEFINITELY use him again.

Called Robert on friday afternoon regarding a leaking pipe under the kitchen sink. He picked up and was able to help walk me through how to figure out the problem.  We made an appointment and he was prompt , professional and good with kids. Spent time amusing the kids and answering a barrage of other home do -it-yourself questions.  It was refreshing to meet with the owner of a company and to feel confident in the work you are paying for and for the exceptional  customer service.  The price was also very reasonable for this quality of work.  Highest recommendations!

Had a great experience with Alex and First Aid Plumbing.  Checked around for plumbers to do a hydrostatic test and Alex was the first to respond.  He was very thorough in explaining the work, offered a couple options to do the test, and quoted a fair price.  Once we agreed to go ahead, he kept me updated with text and photos of the work in progress and he got the job done quickly that same day.  The hydrostatic test is not something that every plumber can do (one other plumber couldn't do it and another didn't respond and a third was wishy washy about it) so I felt Alex was one of the more experienced plumbers in the area.  I'll definitely use Alex again and highly recommend First Aid Plumbing.

Quick professional affordable response. We had a flooding emergency and we're very grateful for their reliable quick response.

I tried installing a bathroom faucet but had some issues with the hoses matching up.  I called this company at 6:20pm. By 7:00 pm they were at my home.  By 7:25 they were finished. I asked them to take a look a my slow draining kitchen sink since they were already there; they snaked it multiple times and made sure everything was draining great. What i can say is they work hard and go the extra mile.  They are fast, no up-sales, friendly up front pricing,  and really do care about doing a great job for the costumer.  I plan to keep them for all my plumbing needs. Would recommend.

Quick, transparent, and efficient. Being able to shower again is nice!

Called this morning with multiple plumbing issues. They were able to accommodate
me the same day. They were exceptionally helpful. My plumbing issues were resolved timely and at a fair price. Will be using them again!

Our hat water heater quite unexpectedly. Alberle got it running the same day at a reasonable price

Highly recommend! In the middle of a remodel needed pipes moved, needed it done quickly to avoid holding up electricians and other craftsman. Everyone at JD Precision helped me get a date to complete the job. The plumber Ben has great work ethic and completed the job quickly and professionally. He cleaned up too.

Augustin was a pleasure to deal with!  He quickly responded to our issue with the leaking toilet and fixed it in no time.  He also made some suggestions on how to avoid the issue in the future.  I was very pleased with the service and would definitely call on Augustin again!

Albert and Devin replaced a leaky kitchen faucet after assessing the plumbing issue. Both men were friendly, polite and respectful. They completed the work at a good pace and to my satisfaction. Albert did need to come back to adjust the faucet. He was out the next morning and performed the work perfectly. Would recommend Epic Plumbing and Albert and Devin

Gap Plumbing did a great job replacing a 50 gallon hot water heater in our attic.  The technicians, Jimmy and Justin, were fast and precise, and cleaned-up well after the work.  They came early morning but could not start due to an oversight on my part (attic stairs need to be removed to fit heater through).  Once I was ready, Teri rescheduled the same day and they came back to complete the job in the sweltering attic heat with no complaints.  

I priced the job around with 3 local plumbers and Gap Plumbing was the best price with a quality Rheem heater.  The price that Teri quoted over the phone was exact with no add-ons or additional fees.

They contract with homserve. I tell them the stem is leaking and when I turn the kitchen faucet and bathtub faucet to hot water the pressure drops drastically. I walked Josue over to the bathroom and turned the faucet on in the tub. The stem leaked and when I turned it all the way to hot the pressure dropped. He says it's the interior plumbing that needs to be replaced because Houston has hard water and all of the minerals (which he started naming like magnesium and phosphorus) mixing with the hot water causes scaling. I have interior coverage with home serve and it is covered (scaling over time can cause a complete blockage)
per home serves interior coverage copied straight from their contract if you put in 77029 as the area code.

What is a Covered Repair?
Repair or replacement of the following inside Your Home, for which You
have sole responsibility, which is damaged due to normal wear and tear:
* The partially or permanently blocked or leaking System pipes that carry
fresh water and wastewater

Like I said I turn the tub faucet on along with the bathroom sink on so he can see the dramatic difference. He says that the interior plumbing needs to be replaced. A lot of older homes have galvanized pipes and over time scaling happens. Josue says let me go out to my van and speak with homserve to try and get it covered.  Home serve calls me and says that the valve is a fixture, and it isn't covered. I'm like huh (the girl with home serve is named Nika and she had a very bad attitude) I said we didn't talk about him replacing the valve. I said the stem was leaking and he said the interior pipes needs to be replaced. She then states that he didn't say anything about the interior pipes. Josue is still sitting in his van. At this point I have an extra device and I am recording this entire conversation because I knew it was going to be some BS and if you are wondering Texas has a one-party law and I consented to being recorded, look it up!

I asked him did he tell her about the interior plumbing needing to be replaced. He said yeah I mentioned it but like I told you home serve won't cover it because you still have pretty good pressure. the only time I have seen them cover it is when there was a complete blockage. then Nika says that there has to be below 30psi in two or more fixtures open in order for it to be considered low water pressure. She said that my water pressure is measuring 50 psi with two or more fixtures open and that's why home serve is not covering.  I asked her how she knew it was 50 psi when he never gauged the water. I had to go outside an ask him to gauge the water.

I kid you not I am being told two different things from Josue who has totally changed his story and Nika the idiot with a bad attitude.   He never checks the pressure in my home. I tell him to come back inside and check the pressure. he says ok ill come back in and check the pressure. He never comes back in. I start recording him sitting in his freakin van. I go back outside cause home serve tries to call me again. I answer it but don't hear anything then they hang up and don't try to call again. Like I said I am recording. I go ask him what is he doing because he never came back in the house, and he never gauged the water pressure. he says yes, I did I have the pictures. I said show me. he placed a gauge on the outside valve infront of my home and says that it is registering 60 psi. When I checked my audio recording Nika said my psi was registering 50 now Josue says its 60.  I asked him why he didn't gauge the pressure in my actual home on one of the fixtures because that's what Nika said.

There is a character limit on this, but I have Nika and Josue on recording. Very unprofessional, bad business on home serve and Texas Quality Plumbing. This business can contact me if they want to listen to the audio. Josue didn't check any of the fixtures in the house. I turned the water on in the shower and the bathroom faucet. that's as far as his inspection went. I called homeserve to let them know they are sending out another plumber.  i dont think I can attach the audio but I would if I could. I took video of him sitting in his van which what he basically got paid to do but not sure if i can post that either

Get a second quote.  Offered to replace air conditioning system for $18K or a better system for $25K.  Had someone else replace for $8200.  What do I know about HVAC.
