Best Water Softener Installation in Austin TX

Make sure to get an estimate before any work is done. That was my big mistake here - don't let it be yours.

Two stars because they did the job, but $250 to run a pipe snake is twice as much as most companies will charge so make sure to call around first.

I used this company referenced by a friend. I am totally happy with the service they provided me. They explained everything to me and showed me what they were doing. Very reasonable pricing !

A big thank you to PlumbSmart. We've had water problems since we moved into our home almost 5 years ago. They diagnosed the problem, our water softener not connected correctly, and help us make decisions to fix it. Long story short: they diagnosed, fixed, and got us water pressure, clean water in one day. We now have a new softener, old one had disintegrated due to wrongful installation, and a whole house filter. Our health and safety greatly improved! Thanks to Cody.

This company rocks..short handed today and yet they made sure my hot water heater was repaired today....they could have easily blown me off until tomorrow, they will always get my recommendation!!

Absolute professionals: They showed up wearing masks and booties for their feet as well.
They listened to my concerns, answered my questions, then diagnosed the problem - all while not trying to sell me on unnecessary repairs. They honored me by winning my TRUST.
Absolutely recommend Anchor Plumbing: they'll be my go-to for any future concerns.

Like many people in our area some of my pipes froze and burst these guys were able to fit me in a day after I contacted them and when they were arrive they were friendly and polite they were efficient and reasonably priced and explained everything that needed to happen and showed me

I am sure ROD Plumbing is good at small plumbing repairs. I hired them to replace the sewer line from my house to the city (approx 10 feet).  
They started the job on MAY 4th.
They failed inspection a number of times.
We were not told when we were on test.
We were not told when we finally passed inspection.
I had to call or text for updates when we noticed nothing happening for days or when we found our pipes backing up because no one took them off test at the end of the inspection. When I asked questions, Diana usually got back to me, sometimes not. Only once (on May 5th) did Diana reach out to me with an update.

They finally passed inspection and backfilled on the 24th OF MAY.
When they backfilled, they filled the ditch at the street. When I expressed my concern, Gustavo said it's just dirt, it will probably wash down the road.

Gustavo came to the door to collect payment after he told me to not worry about the ditch. At that time I was informed that a credit card fee would apply.  Mind you, I had paid them $450 on April 12th to clear and scope the line. No fee was assessed then. I don't mind the fee HAD THEY TOLD ME, but they did not. When I contacted the office, Diana said they charge it for large jobs as they work with a lot on developers. I am not a developer. I should have been informed. She finally agreed to reverse the charge if I drove to Hutto to get a bank check and send it for payment as, with Zelle, Venmo, Bill pay, etc., I haven't had physical checks in ages. This was a very disappointing ending to a very disappointing experience.

Three weeks into my 4 day job...I am just happy it is over. Two stars as they did eventually finish the job. The reviews are great for minor plumbing fixes. I think this was just too much for them. As it is, I wouldn't even call them for a clogged p-trap.

I broke my leg in 3 places and when I got home from the hospital I realized our standard height toilets were going to present a significant challenge.
    I called Hambone Plumbing and they were out the next morning and installed a new ADA compliant, chair height toilet.
    Wesley and the crew were professional and the cost was very reasonable. I will be calling Hambone Plumbing for all of our future plumbing needs. I high recommend them.

Excellent service from office staff and Tim. He was available for questions after hours. Installed shower fixtures in one hour. Answered all my questions thoroughly. Office staff responsive and friendly.

Response to Dan D.:  Thanks for your comment. What is S&D's policy about calls to downtown residences?  Do you make them?  What are your plumbers' expectations about parking?  

Note: I did not want to give a rating since I am responding with a question but can't post unless I rate.  I am neutral right now on S&D and their service to downtown residences.

Mr. Edward Garza is GREAT!!! From his expertise, he quickly found the problem and FIXED it. Outstanding service!!!

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.

I called Alamo water softener to replace my high pressure relief valve outside my house because it was rusting. They charged me 600 dollars. A few days later I get a notification from saws stating I had a leak. Called Alamo to fix it which they did. 3 weeks later another notification from saws. Called Alamo water softener to come back to fix it.  They sent the same incompetent plumber that installed and fixed the other leaks. They fixed it with no charge. A month a half later another leak from the same valve. Called them again and still waiting on them to come and replace it. I have probably spent some ver 600 dollars on water charges alone for all the leaks. This is ridiculous. I would never hire them to do any plumbing work again

I was really happy with Kimco Plumbing. They answered their phone, showed up to the job on time, they offered me 2 solutions to my problem and had the correct parts stocked on the truck and finished the job in a timely manor. Plus their price was fair. David was the plumber that helped us, he was knowledgeable professional and skilled. I would highly recommend this company!

We had a foundation leak. I called John because our kids played baseball together. He came out that day and completely over charged us for the work he did. What irritates me the most of that he lead me to believe insurance would cover most of the work done, which they do not and he knew that. They do not display pricing anywhere. The worst part of the whole experience is the restoration company that he tried to bring with him but I wanted to wait for insurance. I ended up using the company since I thought i thought I could trust John. They ended up being shady crooks!!

Just had Blue Lion out to install a water softener I purchased.  He was fast and explained the work well.  He was very professional and cleaned up after work was done. I would definitely use them again.

San Marcos Plumbing was very friendly and gave an honest fair quote. They did a good toilet installation.  I highly recommend them.

They showed up on time, gave me plenty of notice before arrival. Showed up in mask and kept their distance. They were friendly, fast and efficient when working on my kitchen sink. Definitely would recommend them and would use them again.

***** for communications - emails, phone, and in person
***** for timeliness - RSVPs, arrival, starting work, job completion
***** for cost - reasonable estimate that was honored with no add-ons
***** for cleanliness - personal, uniforms, cleaning up after completion
***** for thoroughness - cut no corners and were diligent in assuring the job was done correctly.

40 years in Austin and this is BY FAR one of the best companies I've worked with. Absolutely nothing I could think of to improve in any area. (!)
I highly recommend and will use them again soon on a project I've been thinking about doing for awhile now.
