Reviews
Chambliss was recommended by multiple family members in San Antonio. We hired them to install a new PRV due to a humming sound in our wall.
I really like to understand what's going on when I hire somebody to do service work. They let me watch and ask questions throughout the whole job. I learned a lot, and the new PRV solved our issue.
They did great work and they really know their stuff. We'll be using them for our plumbing needs in the future!
Ugh, Water heater giving us issues. Momma likes her hot water bath so what Momma wants Momma gets. The wife had been complaining for a month or more about our hot water. There wasn't enough for both of us in the morning and it was taking a very long time to reheat. I assumed one of the elements had gone out. I called Chambliss and they got me on their schedule. Joe and Jesse arrived as planned and got right to work. Joe was excellent in explaining things. They were prepared for any situation that might arise, i.e. not meeting code and the upgrades that may be required. Since it was an older water heater I decided the best route was jsut to replace the water heater instead of the element. They got it all done in record time and now Momma is a happy bather with her hot water. Thanks Chambliss, Joe and Jesse.

We have used Chambliss Plumbing for about 10 years or so on and off. The lasted issue occurred last night when we discovered that our upstairs water heater was leaking from the bottom and had overflown the reservoir pan. Since Chambliss installed the water heater approx. 4 years ago, called them this morning and they came right out and replaced it. Fast, professional service. Their employees have always told us was exactly was wrong and an accurate estimate. I highly recommend them for any type of plumbing issue.

I tried Chambliss after seeing a number of neighbors recommend them online. We had four bathroom sinks serviced. New P-Traps, new push pop-up drains, supply lines serviced, and tub drain serviced.
The initial call to the office was efficient, as was communication via email. The two-man crew showed up on the early end of the two-hour window, which was great. They were polite, professional, and the workmanship was impeccable.

Chambliss Plumbing sent Deric who quickly replaced my old garbage disposal with a new one. He inspected and checked for leaks. Then made sure he didn't leave a mess. He was professional and courteous the whole time.
5 stars for Chambliss Plumbing's service. I strongly recommend them. If possible, ask for Deric to do the job.
Awesome experience with the Chambliss crew from quote (Justin) to install team (Blake & Jesse). These guys are precise, quick, quiet and extremely professional. Im very happy with the job completed and will definitely be calling them back to take care of a few more projects.

Arrived same-day to fix water break from city supply to house and replace broken garbage disposal. Did all that in less than 2 hours. Service fee was reasonable. Technicians were respectful and left kitchen spotless. Highly recommend.
Chambliss plumbing has installed a tankless gas water heater for us and added shower heads in our master bath. Very reasonably priced and knowledgeable/thorough staff. Like anyone else, I don't typically like spending money on grown up things like car and house maintenance but really appreciate the fair, honest and professional service we got from Chambliss.
I had 4 issues that needed to be addressed. They were wonderful! 2 fixed yesterday. New faucet and garbage disposal today, with some re plumbing of 1981 year old pipes.
The work was done beautifully. The area is probably cleaner when they came! The price was great. I can't say how pleased I am with the work and the people!

Amazing work, walks you through the process, gives you a quote. Will be calling back out for additional needs in the future.
We finally decided to replace our old worn out carpet with wood flooring. We did our research and chose a company with very high ratings. They came in and put down some really nice floors.
I will not go into details here, but I will just say we had to have plumbing repairs for 3 huge mistakes the floor company made. We hired Chambliss for each of these repairs.
The first visit came a couple of weeks after the floors were done. They took off some of the sheet rock and found a nail in the right sink water line. They did a great job fixing it, and we thought everything was fine. Then during the Labor Day holiday another leak showed up. Can you say $$$$? They checked the original repair, and it was fine. They took out more sheet rock and found another nail in the left sink. They fixed this one also.
Prior to the sheet rock being repaired we found another nail. This was in the PVC drain pipe. Another call to Chambliss. When they came back, they found another nail in the same pipe, so we now had 2 nails in the PVC. Because of where the nails were, the job became complex. After getting some additional supplies that they did not carry on their truck, they fixed the problem.
So why not 5 stars? It was some small things. They should have spotted the nails in the PVC in searching for the leaks. Also, they should have had all the parts on their truck.
Will I use them again? Let me just say that they are on speed dial.

Repaired my gas fireplace. Explained everything. Very professional, on time. Highly recommend.
This company repaired my external pipes which burst during the extreme cold. Troy and Ryan did an outstanding job and the price was very reasonable. They came out the next day after I called. Bottom Line: Rapid response, professional, courteous, and fair pricing. I give them my highest endorsement.
I can only say my experience was not all that pleasant. Cleaned out tree limbs from pipe from house to curb. Wanted $4500 to fix pipe!! But the whole problem was not fixed. Commode still would only flush twice then stop up. When I talk to owner, he was not very friendly. They also charged me almost $400 to come out and do what they did. Troy would never all me back about why commode was still not flushing. I feel they are excessively expensive. And, they never completed the job!!
Finally had another company come out - what I needed it turns out was a new commode!! (My house was built in 1984). Things have been fine since new commode was installed.
GOD, these guys are all expensive !!!
I needed a water heater replaced, so I called around for several estimates and would also discuss other potential work I needed. It was good opportunity to get to know a little about a few companies, their responsiveness and customer service.
I was impressed with everyone at Chambliss from the office, to the owner who called me back and had some insightful & honest advice, to the guys who came out to do the job. The workmen were courteous, efficient, on-time, and skilled.
I come from a DIY family so I was a little shocked at prices I was getting from several plumbers but Chambliss was reasonable, didn't try to thrown in unnecessary extras and honored the coupons on their website.
I'll definitely use them again and highly recommend them.
When you know you can make a couple hundred thousand plus dollar purchase decision based on the information that someone provides in verification of another experts input, it's safe to say that you trust their expertise and know how. Such was the position my wife and I were in not long ago. Mr. Kevin Chambliss is someone I feel like I can trust, though we've only met four times. His integrity is something very important to him, and that becomes very clear when you interact with him for even a short amount of time. He also recruits individuals of a similar belief system, if caliber and quality of work are any indications. For me, personally, integrity matters a great deal when I'm dealing with a vendor, and because of that, Chambliss Plumbing now has a life long customer.
Recently, my wife and I were able to seek out Chambliss Plumbing again for some plumbing issues that we wanted addressed immediately following the purchase of our home. The price was more than reasonable but also commensurate with product and work quality. The best part is, we knew upfront what we'd be paying for, and were able to plan accordingly. Additionally, because of that, we're able to plan for some 'nice to have's' that we had in mind for the future, as well.
The explanation of the work and products involved exceeded expectations, and the peace of mind that the job was done right is hard to beat. If you're looking for a company that puts as much effort into keeping their word, as well as meeting or exceeding your plumbing need expectations, Chambliss Plumbing can be held up as an example and you'd be well-served in seeking them out for your requirements.
I would definitely (!) recommend Chambliss Plumbing. Kevin, owner, demonstrated a high level of integrity and transparency, walked me through work that should be completed versus nice to have done. His employees were courteous, professional, efficient, knowlegeable and followed COVID safety procedures.
Definitely recommend and i would hire again for future work!

Our Reverse Osmosis system blew out a filter and was making a mess. Chambliss went above and beyond the call of duty to resolve it and install a better one. I trust these guys. Plumbers are always competent, courteous, clean and thorough. Kevin Chambliss, the boss, is a very trustworthy, honest guy and delivers on what he says. Don't look elsewhere if you need plumbing help.
Consistently an excellent customer experience. Have used Chambliss Plumbing for time sensitive and scheduled services. This level of excellence starts from the ease in scheduling the service request. Then the day of the scheduled service starts with the much appreciated advance courtesy call informing me that the assigned plumbing technician(s) are enroute. The technician(s) themselves are courteous and respectful. They explain what to except during the service call. Then the technician(s) carefully cleanup the work area. Finally, the service costs are reasonable and a great value.
Keep up the great customer experience. Thank you much!

We were referred to Chambliss Plumbing from a friend who had great praises for them. The Chambliss plumbers Roy and Justin (Son of owner) came by and looked at a leak on my water heater. Luckily, they had said that the tank was still good and was not leaking but found the leak at the top where the main water line was feeding the tank. They also noticed that the pipes were corroded and changed that the fittings & pipes to the proper ones that resist corrosion. We had a previous company come take a look earlier in the week prior to Chambliss and was told that it may be a major overhaul and they quoted a high amount. Chambliss was very honest in their estimate and explained what they were going to do and they had the parts to do the job in their truck. They were friendly and courteous and cleaned up after the job was done. We will definitely call them again for any plumbing issues and make sure our friends know about hem too.

Super-glad I selected these guys! I was looking to have washer connections replaced, a bathroom faucet installed and four hose bibs converted from compression to screw on connections. I was a bit concerned that they charged by the hour rather than the job, but the total was much less than I had been quoted from others who offered fixed prices for each.
James arrived promptly, was very knowledgeable and completed the work quickly, efficiently and cleaned up afterward.
I'm 110% satisfied with Chambliss plumbing! Though I'm sure all their plumbers are great, I'd recommend you request James.
I had Chambliss swap my PRV and add a water cutoff valve. They did a very professional job and were priced reasonably. They showed up when they said they would be and the tech was very courteous and professional. I will definitely be calling them for future needs.

These Guys were so Polite and even wore Booties in the House. Thank You for taking time from your busy schedule to fix our toilets. We will definitely use you again.
I've been using Chambliss for the last 15 years. It's a local family-owned business and I am always confident that the work gets done right. Today I had my water heater replaced for a cottage in the back and when I asked about the tankless they said for the usage it will get they couldn't recommend spending the extra money. They installed it on time, with no surprises. The job was done in two hours, they cleaned up, and even fixed a toilet valve at no additional cost. They are my goto plumbers.

Hired them install a water softener in my new home. They did the work quickly, explained everything and answered any questions I had. I would definitely recommend Chambliss Plumbing others.
We've always had great experiences with Chambliss. The kind of experiences that when they leave, my husband and I both agree that we really appreciate how thoroughly they explain the issues to us and seek out the best solutions. Fairly priced and thorough. Honest and do a good job. The office staff that answer the phones are always friendly and helpful as well. Highly recommend.

I cannot say enough good things about this company. After another plumber did I terrible job and told me he would need to come back in a few days (we had no functional toilets at that point) and it would cost $500, I called Chambliss. They came to my house in 30 mins and had the problems fixed and everything cleaned up in under an hour and under $200. Super professional and did an excellent job. So happy I called them.
I love this local, honest and family owned business! I got two separate estimates from different companies. Their estimate was extremely detailed and a lot more educated and honest than the other company. They didn't just want to do the work, they wanted it done right! They also called me about a small leak at the main, they could have just told me it was going to cost extra to fix and done it, but they suggested that I call the city, since it looked like it was on their side, so that I wouldn't have to pay for it.

What a wonderful experience! Another plumbing company had come out & told me the pipes had to be hydro jetted. Clayton & Derek from Chambliss came out. They ran a camera ( the other company didn't) & said it was normal buildup & not necessary at this time. They even changed the way the dishwasher drained. They only charged me the $45 visit. I will never use any other company. Both men were polite & explained everything perfectly.
We had been having issues with one of the toilets in the house. About a year ago, Roto Rooter came on an emergency call to stop a leak on another toilet and while here, they changed the flapper in the master bathroom toilet. The flapper worked for a while but then started flushing on its own again. Husband replaced flapper with same results. Over the weekend, he tried once again, but the flush tube appeared to be cracked and the flushing became almost constant.
We read about Chambliss and since they are very close to us, we stopped by and scheduled an appointment. Kevin Chambliss came and fixed it with a 90 day warranty. He also did a few checks and suggested some repairs that should be done. One was the pressure regulator - we knew we had borderline too high pressure from last year when we had another plumber check for leaks. We will have him do these repairs.
Very professional, honest, and willing to take the time to explain things.
Cannot say enough about Chambliss Plumbing. Very honest and dependable crew. Mr Chambliss did some work for my elderly mother and father, he went way beyond what any plumber is suppose to do. There just isn't enough kind words to express my gratefulness toward Mr. Chambliss. You cannot go wrong by using this Company.
We had our conventional water heater removed and replaced with a tankless system. We HIGHLY recommend Chambliss Plumbing. They are one of very few authorized plumbers in the SA area for the Rinnai brand tankless system. Their price estimate was the lowest (although this isn't an inexpensive system) and we were impressed with their customer reviews. The owner was very involved in explaining the work and his team performed professionally. We are VERY pleased with their services.

Extremely responsive and reliable. Our church has major plumbing issues and we can't afford to fix them all. Chambliss did what we needed to fix the current issues and gave us a sense of what was probably coming. We will definitely use them in future.
Very disappointed in Chambliss. I have used them on a few different jobs and have found that they are 1 very expensive and 2 do shotty work. Most recently I had a big leak in a yard faucet I had them install in my front yard. The work cost a little over $500 and looked very make shift. They had two steel stakes (different sizes) with very sharp edges sticking out of the ground and then taped the pipe to the stake. The tops of the stakes were very sharp and definitely a safety hazard and the pipe was not secure at all. Again, this looked very make shift and not a professional job. Fast forward 1 year and there is water leaking all over the yard from this faucet. I contacted Chambliss to see if this would be covered under any type of warranty and it is not. They told me they would send someone over to take a look at the job and no one ever showed up. I just had another plumber go out and repair the job at a cost of $232 and plumber showed me that this was due to shotty work. very disappointed here
I can't recommend this company enough! Fantastic service. We were in a bind and they were able to fit us in a tight schedule that very day. Ruben came out and was extremely fast, friendly, and professional. And it didn't cost us an arm and a leg! Thank you Chambliss!
Always get great service and super reasonable prices with Chambliss! They do not have huge turnover with their employees and that says a lot about the company. Would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Mr. Kevin Chambliss and his team are our go-to group for my family's plumbing needs. Through, fair and reasonably priced, they go above and beyond to help the customer understand the appliances installed and how to operate and care for them. This is in contrast to other companies charging the same or more money for poorer quality work.
Very good high quality work. Not the cheapest plumber in town but you get what you pay for.

locally owned plumbing company who takes care of their customers. they had to dig out my backyard sewer several weeks ago and replace the line. Did an awesome job and made sure everything was done correctly. Instead of spending $4400 for a partial fix by another company, i spent $2800 for the complete fix. specializes in older home areas where you have to be careful of how you dig so don't break gas lines, etc.
