Best Leak Repair in San Antonio TX

I waited 65 days to write this review so that I could thoroughly assess the quality of parts and workmanship provided by Anchor Plumbing Services.

Contacted Anchor Plumbing Services for a quote on June 4, 2020 at 8:58 PM.

Informed a representative by the name of Paul A. that I would like (1) my old 3/4-inch copper sweat fitting shutoff valve to be replaced with a 3/4-inch male adapter fitting + 3/4-inch ball valve; (2) replace corrugated copper tubes with 3/4-inch stainless steel water supply lines + thread them onto new ball valve; and (3) connect water lines to water softener using adapters (e.g., 1 threaded coupling, 1 x 3/4 threaded bushing, 3/4 nipple).

8 hours and 30 minutes later, Paul A. replied requesting clarification on whether I am hooking up to a new softener or the one in the picture I had sent him. After I told him it would be to a new softener, he quickly replied, Ok gotcha! Our cost to do what your asking is app 288.00 and that is with all material as well.

I, then, requested that we schedule an appointment. Again, he promptly replied, Absolutely, can you send me your address and contact number and I'll book it.

On the afternoon of our scheduled appointment at 12:05 PM, I contacted Paul A. to inquire about the expected arrival of the plumber and whether the plumber would call me before arriving. Paul A. assured me, Should be within the hour but we will call prior to our arrival.

Indeed. At 12:27 PM, two male plumbers from Anchor Plumbing Services arrived, started, and finished before 1:20 PM.

It has been 65 days since then and the shutoff valve is still working. I successfully used it to shut off water to the house on several occasions, that is, to repair pipes, toilets, and install a pressure reducing valve below the 3/4-inch ball valve.

With regard to soldering quality, it is sloppy but effective. It has observable runs, but the temperature was good and seems to have fully penetrated. Aesthetically speaking, the soldering could have been made to look a little nicer, but my primary concern is reliability. Thus I am still awarding Anchor Plumbing Service a 5-star rating.

On a final note, I am unable to find the hex nipple 3/4 male NPT I had installed on the corrugated copper pipes before the plumbers' visit. I think the plumbers may have inadvertently taken it away as they were hauling the old pipes to their truck. Nonetheless, it is only an $8.00 part, so I will not hold that against their 5-star rating.

The owner was very rude when I called for an estimate. He said he didn't come out and give estimates. He gave me an average price & wasn't willing to answer any questions.

My kitchen facet needed to be replaced asap because it had a bad leak. I called Dave because I read the awesome reviews and told him I needed to go pick up a facet and have it installed the same day. He said no problem text me as soon as you get it and he quoted me a way better price then a bigger company I called the night before. He came installed my new facet right away. Did an awesome job and even checked my hot water heater at no additional cost when I told him I had concerns about it. From now on I will only be calling Dave for my plumbing needs.

Every single person at this company makes you feel like you are their only customer. The tech that came to my house was super knowledgeable and explained the issues he found...then fixed them the same day! They charge fair prices and are all so nice and kind. These people have gone above and beyond for us. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are the only plumbers we will call from now on!

Joaquin did a fabulous job!  Great customer service and quality work!  He took care of multiple things from snaking drains, changing out a pipe and drain in kitchen sink and commode parts. Kept the areas clean as he worked. They were referred by our neighbors who were very pleased with their work and so are we!  We highly recommend Andre's Pro Plumbing.

Great at responding fast I. Giving quote and arrived early and good and notifying they would be early

Outstanding service, prompt and professional.  I scheduled the appointment over a week ago prior to traveling out of town, and Blue Lion showed up, on time...unfortunately, this kind of service is hard to find.  Highly recommended!

Came across a small water leak on the main line coming into the house...I was happy to see that Jamie lives in my neighborhood, I mean...how much more local can you get...He showed up in about 30 minutes, gave me what I thought was a very fair quote and got to work...job was wrapped up in about 4-5 hours and was please with the whole process...Looks like we have a new Plumber that I wouldnt hesitate to call for my needs.

Very unimpressed!!! We have 2 water heaters and the one for the upstairs wasn't sending hot water. We made an appointment on Tuesday for a Friday morning. They never showed so we called and they lost our appointment. They showed up after 2. Looked at the water heater and said yep you need a new one . They didn't even come inside to see the problem!!! They then tell us they have to go get a new heater and will be back in an hour but they shut off the water to that heater. While they were gone my husband was checking the water and come to find out they turned off the STILL WORKING HEATER. Again never came inside to check! When they showed up we told them they made a mistake and by that time our other heater decided to work. The repair man said this is Friday. Guess we fixed it when we turned it off . They charged us for a repair and left. We will not be using this company when the heater truly dies!

Based upon other Yelp reviews I decided to call Blue Dragon Plumbing for an issue with one of my bathroom sinks.  Gilbert answered the phone right away.  He asked me a couple of questions and based upon my answers he told me to try something that might address the issue.  I did what he recommended, and it solved the problem!  Gilbert did not want to come out and charge me $200+ for a problem I could fix myself.  I called him back and thanked him for his help.  He told me where to get the part I need, and problem solved.  I will definitely call Gilbert and Blue Dragon Plumbing when I need a plumber in the future, and I recommend that you do too!!  Thank Gilbert for being so honest and saving me a lot of money.

These guys are awesome! Came over with no issues to inspect my system and pointed out CO2 problem & were able to fix the system same day! Great service, great customer service, and great value! Noel & Jesse were professional, quick, and clean. Answered all my questions and were very knowledgeable about the HVAC system and explained why there was a problem & what it took to fix it. Very transparent about what they were suggesting and why. Recommend services!

Texas All Cash Home Buyers have used Josh and his team at Mr. Rooter for over hundred service calls and renovation projects.  There friendly, scheduling when needed and very fair pricing.  They have become our preferred plumber of choice and would recommend them to anyone.

Best service in the area! I've been using their services for the past three years. All my experiences within the company have been fantastic. They are very honest, provide prompt service, and are genuine people. Highly recommend to anyone in need of their services!

Mario did a great job! Will hire again! They came out quickly and got right to work, was finished before noon.

Do not use this company, they completely screwed us over.  Sold us a cheap garbage disposal after paying extra for the top of the line . It broke after a year.  Extremely rude customer service on the phone and the plumbers.  There's so much more but too much to explain here.  There are better companies in SA, any company would be better than this one

My sprinkler system was not working properly. I contacted Superior Irrigation & Lawn and received a quick response. They even came out the same day! Jacob and his team immediately identified the problem as well as other issues and kept me informed every step of the way.  My system is now fully functional and I am a satisfied customer.  Also, not only was the price fair and reasonable but this business lived up to its name and did a superb job! I will definitely call them again in the future if I have any issues.

Joey and James arrived wearing masks and foot coverings on their shoes. They worked on a couple issues in my restroom - a busted toilet flange and leaking shower plumbing that needed replacing. They worked quickly and efficiently. Joey explained what needed to be done and showed me the repairs once completed. They didn't go over their initial estimate and charged me exactly what was quoted initially. I definitely plan to call Big City Plumbing in the future and will refer them to family and friends.

I just drove behind one of their vehicles and they had a large, open, clear barrel of (plumbing liquids) that were spilling out the top  and landing on the road and cars if they weren't careful. I stayed way back until I could pass them.

I had an appoint with a John Wayne rep today with the understanding to get a complete estimate for a new AC system.  The first thing out of the John Wayne employees' mouth after introductions were, are you ready to make a decision today?  I said no I always review the documents and look up reviews on the product, etc.  I want to take a look at the model numbers and see how some hold up better than others.  That is when he informed me, they had a company policy which states they DO NOT provide written estimates.  I told him are you serious, who makes a 5k+ decision and not receive a written estimate.  He goes on to say, well they have specials that change every two weeks, and different promotions, etc.  I said that is wonderful but what does that have to do with an estimate? My pay check stays the same every two weeks.  I knew where he was going, I saw their approach was going to be a pressure sales approach.  I mean who doesn't give someone a written estimate?  I told him, we were done.  My interaction lasted probably less than 3 minutes and he was on his way.  I just though the whole thing was quite honestly strange.

They quoted my plumbing to be $3000 for 40ft of pipe work to be done and they only did 5 feet of pipe and my wife didn't check because we have a baby and I was at work so they made her sign without telling her they changed the plan, and still charged us $3000. Watch out for these scammers
They charged me for 35 ft and only did 5ft of pipe, I did not get my money back.
