Reviews
Had some billing issues, but they were quick to address them. Happy with overall service provided.
I had an issue with roots causing my bathtub to back up and slowly drain every time I ran the washing machine. I called Joe Rushing out to clear the drain.
They came and ran a camera and supposedly tried to snake the drain. They said the whole line needed to be replaced and sent me a quote for several thousand dollars to replace it.
I ran my washing machine that night and the tub almost filled up and held water for several hours. My problem was much WORSE after they came than when I called them. I called one of their competitors (Earls) who came out the next day and within 30 minutes had the drain clear. This was a few months ago and as of now everything is working perfectly.
I tried to discuss my issue with them however they were unyielding about getting payment for the work they performed and not willing to work with me. From where I am sitting, it certainly appears that they made my drain worse in the hopes of getting $8k worth of work out of me. I do not appreciate being held hostage. I will never deal with these people again and recommend that you go elsewhere. At best, they half assed the job and clearly didn't run the washing machine to check it before they left. It certainly looks like a nice attempt to extort more money out of me. STAY AWAY.

I was unable to obtain any information over the phone, including the simple price of parts without labor. The customer service depended upon sending someone out to oversell what I needed and was not appreciated. I didn't get the service I requested, which was the price of a part for my existing air conditioner unit, and went with another company.
This was the third or fourth HVAC company that had come to my house. The others were trying so hard to get me to upgrade this and that, instead of just fixing the issue. The staff at Joe Rushing was amazing. From the ladies at the desk, to the gentlemen that serviced my AC. They were honest and upfront. They didn't try to force me to purchase things I didn't need. I'd trust them any day, and they'll be the only ones I go through in the future. Thanks y'all!
My heater motor went out. I was expecting to wait a few days until someone could come and fix the problem. I called late in the the day to set up an appointment and they said they would have someone come out the same day to change the motor. I have always had good service from Joe Rushing.

Called to get help with water heater. Said they aren't taking new customers. I guess they don't want to grow.
I got a second opinion on a job that another company looked at. To make a very long story short, John from Joe Rushing came out, ran a camera, showed me my drains under my slab, and fixed a clog in my pipes. He explained what he was seeing, told me all looked pretty good overall, and charged me a couple hundred dollars. I was told previously from another plumbing company that I needed new drain pipes under my slab, that would mean tearing up all my tiles floors 35 feet long, cutting into my slab, then fixing it all for around $8,000. If you need a plumber call Joe Rushing Plumbing for an honest and complete good job. If you need a second opinion, call them, if you need anything that has to do with plumbing call them, you will not be disappointed for sure. All I have is praise for this company, it is nice to know that honesty still exist...
If you have tough issues in an old house, Joe Rushing Plumbing provides pricy work that solves difficult problems. Reading some of these reviews, I can understand the frustration people feel as the tab increases as additional problems are found, and less expensive solutions tried initially, don't work. We've had the same experiences in our own home but don't feel like it's the plumbers fault, it's the situation. In our 30-year old house, thanks to West Texas water, we've had slab leaks multiple times in different parts of the house which required jack hammering up the floor and replacing lines in the floor with PEX run overhead through the attic. We've had most of the long runs in the house replaced and after 5-years or so, everything is holding up with no new issues. We've been using Joe Rushing Plumbing for many years and wouldn't hesitate to contact them again when having difficult problems. The stress melts away, soon after we've made the call, knowing from experience that they will resolve our problem, no matter how difficult. The deduction of 1 star is due to the cost of fixing difficult plumbing issues.
WHERES THE HONESTY?? EXTRA CHARGES like $25 for a body suit ha kidding right?? Nope just look at the invoice, Company charges extra hour($90/hr) of labor by design not only that but get every visit invoiced in writing signed to avoid surprises(my mistake). FYI, They will start charging you labor as in drive time to your home soon as they call to confirm you are home even a little bit before the call in my case and also after the technician has handed you paper work and sits for a rest so it will always tack on at least one hour of labor. Just imagine the extra cost if the service tech was stuck somewhere or had to stop even just for a quick drink? So shoo them away or make them get out of the truck asap to complete the work, long as they are parked on location you're paying them(GPS based I was told). Clocked the entire actual work time since I had nothing better to do and for both days it was 3 hours total. I was told by the service technician the initial visit would be of no charge since he did not really work plus it would be again another drive time fee and did not receive an invoice of the visit to sign. Came back the next day to start and complete the work which caused an extra cost in replacing the valve to the water heater since the technician wanted the water to be shut off to the whole house not just from the water heater (Thats fine+fair). The work was good but comes at an very high extra cost so please think carefully and get everything in writing signed, ask about extras cost like the body suit and plastic sheeting if you choose to go with Joe Rushing services since they will not tell you these things. Bitterly paid my bill that's different from my signed day of invoice since it would not be worth the fight in legal fees this time. Wish I could include a picture to show the difference. Thank you for reading and have a great blessed day!
I had Joe Rushing Company come give us a quote for work. The plumbers are super nice but the office staff is HORRIBLE!!! Just HORRENDOUS!! I feel bad for Joe Ray Rushing who built this company up & retired only to leave it in such incompetent hands! They called me for a payment they said I owed and acted like I was trying to cheat them. I had no clue a bill was due and can't figure out why they didn't collect the day they came out. They charged me $100 to use their cameras. I paid but no way in hell would I use them! Joe Ray you need to fire your staff and get competent help and ones that aren't so RUDE!! They are ruining your business. They wanted to charge $17,000 to fix stopped up drain. I got it fixed by Pro Flow for $86
