Best Plumbing Services in Fort Worth TX

My Experience
==============
- Hassle Free Project
- Pro-Quality Installation
- Good Price

Solicited bids from the 10 highest rated area plumbers for a sewer main replacement.  Bids ranged from $2,800  - $7,200 and Schrader Plumbing won the project with low bid.  

I liked the owner's (John Schrader) efficient approach to interaction with customers.  I don't need someone to hold my hands and don't have time to shoot the bull.  He doesn't either and we handled all comms via texting.  End of the project he emailed the invoice and I paid via PayPal.   They also handled coordinating with the city on the inspection.   Super convenient start to finish.  

As for the project work, two crews were used, one to dig the trench and another to plumb the line.  Both crews were top notch and got after it.  I know  a little about plumbing with PVC and was impressed with the sewer line install -- it was just and true.

I could add a bunch of gushing superlatives, but there's plenty of those in the previous reviews.

I recently used ABC plumbing for a tub faucet and rough in replacement as well as outdoor hose bib. Amazing turn around. Jason was friendly , personable. Brian came out and was same, friendly , personable and wanting to do a good job. And did. Amazing work! I'd recommend and call again for any plumbing needs.

We had a terrible experience with another plumber, and called True Plumbing for a second opinion based on reviews.

True Plumbing was able to do the job for 1/10th of the price of the other guy!! They were quick to schedule. They did arrive later than the original window, but at the end of the day, I was just glad to have my water turned back on.

Will continue to use them, and recommend for all needs!

Our neighborhood NEXTDOOR.COM app was my go to for advice on hiring a plumber and truly I couldn't be more pleased with the referal. O'Bryan Plumbing Services is a company that I know I can trust and be happy to use for all of our plumbing needs. Asa was very professional and helpful with recommendations on our leek. Suggested we rule out a simple fix before we call them back. NO SERVICE CHARGE!. I know many businesses would have charged for the call.

I made an appointment for the next day between 12:00 & 2:00.
The lady said someone would call before arriving for appointment.
He called and arrived an hour before appointment time.
He described the problem and solution that I already knew, quoted me a reasonable price, had the repair done in a few hours and cleaned up real nice.
Good, reliable service, thanks!

These folks are the real deal!!!

After being quoted around $6000 by another local plumber, who told us our main line needed to be totally replaced, we decided to get a second opinion, and boy oh boy, am I glad we did!!!

Blake and his teammates Brand (I believe) and Joseph were fabulous!!!

Prompt, professional, and courteous, they managed to address and resolve the issue (roots in the pipe... I'm getting that dumb tree taken down.) in less than an hour!

And it didn't cost a fraction of the original quote.

Call these folks. They're friendly, and most importantly, trustworthy and honest!!! Thanks again y'all!

We got kitchen drain stoppage, found out by the team that it was because of the grease build-up. Bryson and his coworker came out as soon as possible and got it fixed at a reasonable cost. He doesn't hesitate to share what they did to resolve and tips on keeping it trouble free. This business is also one of the plumbing businesses without service trip charge add-on like a few plumbing places I contacted, just the charge for what they do.

Kenny and his son replaced my water heater and they did a wonderful job. They both were very knowledgeable, courteous, and precise. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the Verde Valley. And I would also use them again.

Had several jobs that needed to be done, flushing tankless water heater, installed new faucets and replaced some of the hoses and valves on the toilets. Kevin did a great job and finished quickly and efficiently.

This was my second time to use Legacy Plumbing. This time we had a complete toilet replacement done. Sean was the service technician and was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and reliable. What I appreciate about Sean and previous technicians is they explain everything they are going to do, provide advice even if it is not what you want to hear. They are accessible and respond to calls and emails. I even called the office without leaving a message and they called back using caller id to see if I needed anything! Many thanks from one demanding customer.

I own a property management company and finding reliable and knowledgeable plumbers has been the single biggest obstacle we have encountered. However, when we found Professor Plumber, we knew we would have a great vendor partner. Several days ago, I personally experienced a plumbing issue at my own home and when I called, they were here within a couple of hours, cleaned the line, ran the camera and determined the cause. Tyler was diligent and did not give up until he located the problem. With this old house, it's always with great anxiety that I have a plumbing issue because I do have cast iron but working with Professor Pipes, my mind is at ease knowing they're going to be honest, thorough and with reasonable pricing. This gives me comfort also knowing they are servicing my property management clients with the same level of care. Highly recommend.

Don was terrific! Detected and fixed a slab leak with minimal after math in the garage dry wall. Was professional and very informative through the whole process. Very competitive pricing up front and no hidden fees later! He even fixed a wiring issue on my hot water heater for no extra charge! I had shopped around and felt very comfortable and confident in his work and honesty. I would highly recommend Live Oak Plumbing!

Have used Roto-Rooter before and trusted them.  No more.  When I use them it is always for the same service - cleaning out the sewer line from the clean out to the house and out to the alley.  In 2006 this was $150.  In 2010 it had gone up to $175.  Pretty reasonable.  We decided to call them out about 6 months later to prepare for several events at our house.  The line seemed to be slowing down.

The service guy showed up and quoted me a price of $270.  This was almost a $100 more than 6 months previously.  I went in and checked the previous charge to confirm.  When I came back out to question it he gave several reasons.  Having to clean out both ways, price increase.  However, he promptly dropped the price to $180 with a 10% discount.  My BS detector went off and I told him to tell me what I owed for him coming out and for him to pack up.  (I try to be fair in my dealings with people)  He told me there was a $90 charge.  While he was loading up I called the office.  They could not give me a price or explanation of the discrepancy of the charges.  They told me that there should be no charge for him coming out - it was a free estimate.

I contacted their customer service info.  Played phone tag with a guy from the local franchise.  He just kept asking several questions and never gave any real explanation for the behavior or apology.

I will do this service myself in the future or will hire a true local company.

I had Tioga out to my house a few months back to do some plumbing.  They we're great!

I needed some electrical work done.  They were supposed to come on Thursday to give me a bid.  The tech got caught up in a job that took longer than expected so I got pushed to Friday.  Friday morning came and went.  I called and was told that due to on demand scheduling they would be out to see me later in the afternoon.  

So at almost 2 pm on Friday afternoon, I got the call that the tech was on his way.  I voiced my frustration to the lady but she gave my the company line that this was on-demand scheduling and I was free to go about my day and they would gladly give me a 30-minute advanced notice.

I obviously don't understand how on-demand scheduling works but I am ok with that.  From my perspective,  as a customer that was supposed to be helped on Thursday, I should have been helped first thing Friday morning.

***revised 12/11 to three stars for:
Pros:
-Upfront pricing
-resolution of two problems after calling them back out
-camera-ed my system at no charge after the error
-Carissa Stinson makes genuine efforts to hear my frustration
-warranty on work good for 12mos

Cons:
- felt like I didn't get what I initially asked for in inspection of system BEFORE installing flooring, which will now cost me time and money
- didn't perform quality inspection after work causing me to call them back out more than once
- didn't perform thorough testing/inspection of gas line to fireplace before selling me new line
- didn't provide me with requested materials for insurance and have no recorded notes of phone conversations requesting this info

Still, they have plenty of 5-star reviews. Sometimes relationships just don't work out. Might have just been a bad time for them. You may have better luck, and they might make the necessary changes so that my experience does not get repeated. This is my hope for them as I desire small, local businesses to be successful. I had really high hopes about them based on the recommendation....it just didn't work out for me.

****Original post:

Highly recommended by a trusted source...ultimately let me down.  

After buying a house I had some time before move-in to get some necessary repairs and renovations done. LS Plumbing was highly recommended by a close friend. They came out as scheduled. Upfront pricing so no surprises. Pricing was high, but based on recommendation I assumed it would be good work, and I was tied up with other things.  I asked for an inspection of total system, and let the tech know of a specific issue relayed to me by the seller. He diagnosed the first minor problem he saw and went no further. I asked That's all? and the tech indicted yes. I felt confident in their expertise and moved forward with installing flooring throughout the house. After move-in we had a major backup and called them back out. They diagnosed a sewer line issue under my living room slab (and brand new floor). The tech's response was wish we had known about this a month ago.....which did nothing to make me feel better about the new flooring having to be taken up at my own expense and the disruption for my family...which again, I wanted to identify and resolve BEFORE moving in.  The rest of the work was poorly done and they made two more trips out to try and resolve....which could've been caught in the initial call had there been some quality control, or even a simple thorough inspection. I diagnosed on my own that they had installed a part backwards. This was also extremely frustrating as I am NOT A LICENSED PLUMBER, and they missed it TWICE before.  The office manager (Mrs. Stinson) genuinely seemed to care about how their company let me down. However, there was very little accountability from Mr. Stinson beyond admitting that the work had been of poor quality.

I still have a sewer repair to complete, but I have vacillated between giving them another chance to do good work...and not giving them another penny.  

Ultimately, they self-selected themselves out. I needed a quote and description of work to turn into my insurance agent for possible claim. After multiple requests (and assurances from them that they would provide) I gave up. I think they were hoping I would go away. And this review will live on the internet forever, which is a shame because nobody is perfect...and they had opportunities to get it right, but they didn't want to.

Told me they would get me help with my hot water heater and never responded when I asked for a status. This was on a Friday. I suppose they're used to leaving folks hanging with no hot water over the weekend. I guess another plumbing company will get my business and my recommendation on YELP.

Jeff is a professional and all around great guy. I redid my kitchen and had to do some major work (to me anyway) with the plumbing. He showed up on time, did a solid job, and stuck to price quoted. I will certainly be using him again when I get into my bathrooms. Highly recommend.

Would give Pablo 6 stars if possible.  We had to wait for an appointment,  but when he arrived, he lived up to his reputation.  He diagnosed the problems, found the price on his list and proceeded to fix the problems.  He showed us the 'near disasters'  had we waited longer to fix the plumbing issues.  He was neat, wore shoe covers & cleaned up after himself.  He was on time & gave us the time we needed.  We were very satisfied & will definitely call him back when needed.

Loved that they responded quickly on Thumb Tack.
Loved that they would give a free estimate.
Loved that they showed up and repaired my leaky faucet even though my tenant didn't answer when they knocked.
Loved that they fixed the problem and didn't charge me.
Who does that?
Mr. Young's Plumbing, that's who.
