Life Saver! Had water leaking on garage floor. I had used TDP before with good success so I called them. The leak was in a pipe in the wall that required minimal removal of a portion of the sheetrock on the garage side to visualize. The leak was fixed without incident. They came out in a few afters after the call on a Saturday night.

Angel was very informative, personable and knowledgeable. Angel has a calming effect even while homeowner is new at serious plumbing issues. He explained the Hydrostatic Test failed because there are at least 2 leaks in sewer lines under foundation. He cannot isolate the 2nd leak / pipe break until we repair the 1st issue. He explained the breakdown of the quote for repairing the break under kitchen, which require digging 15 'under house from back wall and paying for engineer testing plumbing repairs afterward. The charge today includes (1) Service Fee; (2) Hydrostatic Test; (3) Leak Detection Test.

Hi, and thanks very much for letting other Angie's List members know about our outstanding technician, Angel, and our service to you. Angel has 19 years of experience in plumbing, and has excellent diagnostic skills, as I'm sure you noticed. We are thankful to have him working with Texas Plumbing Diagnostics. We are very well experienced in tunnel repairs, having done many over the years we've been in business. In one month, we performed 13 plumbing repairs via a tunnel. Eleven of those were for a local housing authority. We pull all required City permits and inspections for our work in tunnels, and all our technicians are licensed, insured and bonded to work in our customers' homes. Our past customers are our best advertising for the quality of work we perform, so I can't overstate how much your words mean to me. Thanks again for allowing Texas Plumbing Diagnostics to serve your plumbing needs. We'll look forward to hearing from you any time you need us. With deep appreciation, Dixie Texas Plumbing Diagnostics 210-361-0812

Great. David was professional and detail-oriented. We had a laundry faucet hose burst Friday night and had flood inside. Another plumber came Friday morning to check on water collecting outside by front door. He turned off valve and planned to replace hoses Monday. He said he was booked Saturday, so I called Dixie because I've use Texas Plumbing Diagnostics before. I was going to wait and fix toilet myself, but am glad I had David go ahead. Yes, it was expensive, but he flushed out any blockages and could then check water pressure for more leaks. Sure enough, fixing the laundry hardware and toilet helped us diagnosis an issue remains. That is why we're having an Angie's list Foundation repair come this week for an estimate. I'll compare Texas Diagnostics and the other plumber to see which yard and home water leak location test is most economical.

We are as unhappy as anyone when we are unable to serve past customers. Our repeat customers are the base of our business, and we deeply appreciate you, and want to serve you. However, this has been the busiest January we've ever had, and we have not been able to get to jobs as quickly as we would like to. We are still working as hard as we can. One of our crews was out till 3:00 in the morning to get a job done recently. However, just like you and me, our technicians must have rest to continue to do their jobs. They've done a phenomenal job, and I am so thankful for the work they've performed. That being said, it always grates when you're the one whose work has been placed on hold. We value you as a customer, and hope that you'll return to us. Please call our Office when you have a plumbing need arise again; we'd like to do something special for you. Thank you for allowing Texas Plumbing Diagnostics to serve you in the past, and we hope to serve you again. Gratefully, Dixie Texas Plumbing Diagnostics 210-698-9790 January 25, 2018

Horrible!! I talked to Dixie this morning and she told me about the service fee and estimated the cost for a valve and to tighten parts to be $100-150. I felt that was reasonable so invited company to come. Plumber came on time, took 15 minutes to evaluate the problem and make a phone call on our front porch. Took a total of 20 minutes to fix the problems - total cost $259. This price was discounted from original quoted price of $322. Price too high for 35 minutes !! Owner said this was discounted and so he did not want to honor the 5% Angie's list discount, but then did agree to do so. Unprofessional and price changes. I hope he actually fixed the leaks!!

My apologies to readers. Angie's online response box does not allow me to use quotation marks, or sometimes, other punctuation. To the writer: I spoke with you for more than 16 minutes on the 23rd regarding gas leaks at your home. You were tagged out by CPS. When this happens, you are required by CPS to have a Licensed Plumber perform repairs before the gas will be turned back on. You called on a Saturday, which is an on call day for us. You wanted same day service, and I set an appointment at your convenience on that day. Your description of the problem was, There's a valve on the furnace, and there's a little nut on the water heater that which he said if it's over screwed, or screwed too tight, then, you know, we'll need a new water heater, so he was unwilling to mess with it. You didn't say whether the person who made these statements was a plumber. Based on what you saw on Angie's List, you were, quote, concerned with price. I went over the Service Fee, as well as the Minimum Charge we had for gas repairs. I also plainly stated that we would need to have a technician on site to be able to tell you what needed to be done and what the charges would be. This call was recorded, and these quotes came from the recorded call. I stated, Again, getting the guy on site allows us to get out there and give you a price. And, then, if you don't like our price, or if you don't like our technician, or if you don't like us, then at that point, you're free to say, you know what, thank you for coming out, but I don't want you to do the work. You responded, quote, We're not kind of like that. You know, once we say yes, we're going to have the work done, usually. You wanted somebody, quote, nice and speaks English. Of course, all our technicians are US citizens who not only speak English, but they are also background checked and drug-tested. Our Plumbing Manager, Norwood, spoke with you when you called to complain. He asked you exactly what you wanted, and when you didn't state what you desired, he went ahead and discounted the price. He never refused to give you an Angie's List discount. What he did say was that we usually do not honor double discounts, but that he would go ahead and give you both discounts. I'm sorry that you did not appreciate the service you received. We sent a licensed Journeyman Plumber to your home on a Saturday. He repaired your gas leak, and provided you with information that you could take to CPS to get your gas reconnected. You agreed to have the repair made, AND agreed to the price to be charged. I'm sorry that you decided, after agreeing to the work and charges, that your experience was, quote, horrible. Dixie Texas Plumbing Diagnostics September 29, 2017

Angel at Texas Plumbing Diagnostics knew exactly where to look for the problem. He went up in my attic in the middle of the summer; he came down sweating profusely and had solved the problem. Another plumbing company (listed on here with more than one thousand reviews) had already come out to my house and told me that I needed a new line installed at a price of more than two thousand clams. Some plumbers treat themselves like distinguished Doctors, charge like them, and will not do the unpleasant work. TPD went where no other plumber would go!
Description of Work: I had an old gas line which was installed years ago for my range. At the time I had an electric range, but wanted to upgrade to gas "one day." That day came, and there was no gas coming out of the connection.

A previous plumber really screwed it up but they came out, figured out how to correct it and had it working right within an hour. Only complaint is they charge to just come out an provide the estimate but getting a professional quality job was worth that extra expense.

Hi, and thanks for this great review of Texas Plumbing Diagnostics, and our technician. Your review states what people have said over and over about our technicians. They locate problems (and solutions) that others miss, and they are able to repair the problematic issues. As owners, we consider ourselves lucky and blessed to have men like this working with us. I appreciate your comment that getting a professional quality job was worth paying our service fee. We implemented a service fee to protect all involved. There is no pressure on anyone when a service fee is charged. Our cost to send a technician is partially paid, and the customer gets a licensed, experienced technician to his or her home, but does not have to feel pressure to go forward with any repairs. If the customer decides to go forward with repairs, the technician will be ready to perform those repairs. Thank you again for posting this stellar review; please call any time we may be of service.

Both my husband and I felt incredibly uncomfortable with their technician. First he and gave us an assessment of about $1,100 to run less than 5 feet of water line to our fridge. He stated the company made him charge for lots of ridiculous fees. Then he starts telling us how dangerous our neighborhood is. Then he kept telling us he'd come back and "watch" my husband install the line. Finally he left the first time after formally writing up the cost assessment and charging us $69. He came back about 20 minutes later saying the company didn't have any more work for him so he could install the line then. We just moved in so we have a ton of other things to do and didn't want to proceed with it at much less we're INCREDIBLY uncomfortable with this guy. So he left a second time. We get a knock on the door a little while later & it's him AGAIN. Insisting my husband take some piece he had in the car. My husband very politely tried to get the man to take the piece back saying "I don't want you to get in trouble." "We don't need this." Guy would not take the piece back and he left. Really wish we would have never called them. The woman was very responsive over the phone and informed me the assessment would cost $69 but the technician would be able to do the install after telling us the cost. That was the only positive part of my experience with this company.

This is the third time I've used this company. The first time I used them, they saved me from a company American Home Shield sent me that actually ripped me off for a grand, and promised I needed $3000 more in work on my septic. TPD figured out my problem, and it was weird, within a couple of hours and about $500. It was great fix, and they were curious, and described it all. I've had them back twice (I live in an older home), and have been just as pleased. They are a great company, and I trust them.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Wow! Thanks, Ms. [Member Name Removed], for posting this excellent review on Texas Plumbing Diagnostics! I took a few minutes to look back over our records on the initial visit to your home, when we discovered an old gate valve buried under the corner of your Koi pond. Once we located the leaking valve, we were able to cap it, since it was no longer being used, and eliminate your water leak. This is another fine example of our employees' dedication and commitment to their work, and to our customers. It was very kind of you to take the time to post this review, and tell others about our technicians, and their high level of skill, integrity, and honesty. Thank You so much for allowing us to serve you over the last two years; we look forward to serving you at any time you may require our services.

First group that was able to make it on short notice as we didn't know how long the leak and been going on or where it was coming from. They located it fairly quickly with minimal holes. Master Plumber came out and directed the crew the best way to fix the problem and minimize the instability as the leak was in a corner wall. Took them the afternoon and next morning to complete work. Cut through my outdoor lighting but they fixed that. They did give a quote of their hourly rate which we thought was high but we needed someone out quick. Very professional.

Hello, and thank you for your review of our Company, Texas Plumbing Diagnostics. It tells a lot about our Company and our plumbing technicians that you state they are "Very professional." We sent two technicians to your site as quickly as possible, and then sent our Master Plumber to oversee the work. As you stated, they worked that afternoon and the next day to complete your repairs, and get you back online with your plumbing. Thanks for stating that we located the water leak quickly, with minimal holes. The quality of our work is very important to us; we appreciate your kind words. We perform this type of work on a weekly basis, and our technicians are very experienced and very capable. When we perform leak detection, we charge hourly rates, because each water leak is different, and some leak detection jobs require more time than others. We find that our leak detection rates are quite reasonable when compared to leak detection companies in San Antonio. Thank you again for taking the time to review our Company, Texas Plumbing Diagnostics. And, Thanks So Much for allowing us to serve you! Dixie Texas Plumbing Diagnostics 210-698-9790 April 10, 2017

Be carefull using this company if you are looking for a value added deal. Their prices are substantially higher than the competition. As mentioned, we had this same job done by another pumbling company who charged less than 1/2 the price. This company is located close to our home, we thought a high Angies rating meant we could trust them on price and quality. We paid the $69 service charge and sent them on their way.
Description of Work: We needed to replace a wax ring on a water closet (toilet) that involved an off-set phange. Previous repairs on another toilet required cutting some pvc pipe and cost $275.00. This company estimated the cost to be over $500.

Response from Texas Plumbing Diagnostics
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ We charged our standard Service Fee of $69 to deliver a licensed, trained, background-checked and drug-tested technician to your home. This technician came out on the weekend, on an on-call day, at 2:00 in the afternoon. When he arrived at your home, you had already pulled your own toilet. This saved you money, and allowed the technician to inspect the flange. (The toilet is attached to the flange.) Your flange was damaged, and a proper repair would necessitate some chipping of concrete. This was a more involved repair than simply repairing the flange. Charging a service fee allowed us to send our plumbing technician and have him diagnose your problem. It also allowed you the opportunity to receive our quote for the work, then decide whether you wanted to proceed with the work. I understand your requirements for a cheaper plumber. We do not claim to be the cheapest in town, but we generally find our pricing to be very competitive with other companies that provide highly skilled plumbing technicians, and offer a high level of service and warranties. We are not the plumbing company for everyone, but we are glad to learn that you found someone pleasing to you. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you, Dixie Texas Plumbing Diagnostics 210-698-9790 April 10, 2017

Work was done correctly and the staff was courteous, but that can not outweigh the price they charged for one hour of labor. I provided all parts, except one, and the work was done in exactly one hour...........$577. The bill is somewhat itemized, but it is not itemized enough to truly break down the cost. It was also added wrong. I was overcharged another $10 by simple arithmetic error, but that goes in line with how the rest of the visit went.

Response from Texas Plumbing Diagnostics
Thanks very much for saying our work was performed correctly, and our plumbing technicians were courteous. We appreciate you relating the positives you experienced concerning our company, Texas Plumbing Diagnostics. As regards our charges for work performed, the charges are our standard charges. We performed a complete tank rebuild on your toilet. We did supply the tank-to-bowl kit. As you may understand, we are unable to give value to the parts you supplied, as the largest part of charges for toilet repair are labor charges. We also have a Service Fee of $69. This fee allows us to provide a licensed, bonded, insured and fully-trained technician to your home. Our technician had to drive 36 minutes, traveling 25 miles, to reach your home; I feel that this is a very reasonable charge, considering that we are not only paying for the truck, the gas, the insurance, the wear and tear, but also an hourly salary for our technician. As you can see, this does not even cover our cost to deliver our technician to your home. One item you do not mention is the cut-off valve you attempted to install, creating a leak that you were not able to deal with in the process. We were able to stop the leak and properly install the valve. Our technician discounted the repair cost on this item. I recently read an article on Manta that stated, "Analysts who study this sort of thing note that most of the time, when the price on a product or service is wrong, it's because it's too low, not too high. In fact that's the case with about 80% to 90% of bad prices." We at Texas Plumbing Diagnostics have recently brought in a national company to review our pricing, and this is exactly what they told us. In order to provide the best ongoing service, hire top technicians, and offer excellent warranty coverage, it was recommended that we raise our prices. I do apologize for the $10 overcharge, based on incorrect calculations by our technician. I have called and left a message on your phone. Please call our Office with credit card information so that I may process a refund of $10.00. You called with a pressing need for service. We came out on short notice on a Friday afternoon and took care of your plumbing problems. Your review states that you were pleased with the work and our staff. I'm sorry you felt that our charges were too high. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you, Dixie Texas Plumbing Diagnostics 210-698-9790 April 10, 2017

They will rip you off and you have no choice but to take it. They quoted $149.00 for a service call. Our normal plumber charges about $100 an hour. Texas Plumbing Diagnostics was after hours, so we understood it would cost a few dollars more ($100 to $149). We agreed to the price. When plumber arrived and told us what we already knew about the leak, he then told us it would be ANOTHER $349.00 to repair the leak (no parts needed)!!! So $498.00 for the plumber to be at my house for less than 30 minutes to repair. If I had said, "no thank you" to the $349.00 then they would have still charged me the $149.00 to come to the house and I would not have had the leak repaired. My normal plumber would have charged just the $100 service call to fix the leak. Luckily, I have a voice. I have a voice in Angie's List, Yelp.com, BBB.org, Homeadvisors.com and finally on a Facebook page that services many buyers and sellers of real estate.
Description of Work: A leak in a pipe that was a small plumbing repair that my husband could have done the next afternoon but we did not want to have the water off all day.

Response from Texas Plumbing Diagnostics
Thanks, Angie's, for the opportunity to respond to this spurious and inflammatory review. This woman was neither the person who called, nor the person who signed for the work to be performed. However, now, a week later, she has decided that she does not approve of our charges, and has made it her mission to destroy our business and our character. Indeed, she does have a voice. So do I. We were called by Mr. H. at 7:50 p.m. on Monday night, October 24th. The person who answered our phone, Norwood, went over our after-hours fee of $149. We always charge this fee for after-hours work, for a couple of reasons: 1) Our technicians have already worked at least an eight-hour day at this point, and they will be leaving their families to go serve a customer. To give them some incentive to give up their personal time, we pay them half the dispatch fee; and, 2) The technician will be on overtime hours. Ms. S's normal plumber only charges $100/hour, but, apparently, he was not available for after-hours work, which, presumably, is why we were called. In addition to the after-hours fee, we charged our normal rates for in-wall repair. As I have stated many times, we are not the cheapest company in town, but we are certainly not the most expensive. It would be unfair to our many dedicated customers, who value our expertise and happily pay our rates, to discount our charges for people like Ms. S. who complain and threaten our reputation. Ms. S. also states that her husband (who must be Mr. H., the gentleman who called) could have performed the work. He was right there. He's the man who called us, and he told Norwood that he didn't want to do the work. While trying to do his own renovations, Mr. H. had driven a screw into a copper pipe that was run through a stud. Most people (wisely) choose to have a licensed plumber perform this type of repair to copper pipe, as it is both difficult and dangerous (because a torch is used in a very tight space). Although Ms. S. makes outlandish claims, they are not supported in any way. - The after-hours call-out fee was approved before our plumber showed up. We Always get approval for this charge ahead of time. Ms. S. knew about the $149 charge, because Mr. H. asked Norwood to hold on while he discussed it with her. SO, if, afterwards, she decided she didn't like our price for repair, she was well aware ahead of time that the after-hours dispatch fee would apply. There was no surprise there. But, when our techs have to deal with someone as disagreeable as she is, we tell them to drop the fee and leave the premises. She wrote the check, paying for the repairs, with no complaints. - Parts were needed for the repair; anybody that knows anything about copper pipe knows that a piece of copper pipe (approximately 8 inches long, in this case) is used to make the repair. Our technician sweated the copper pipe from the existing Tee and sweated the new piece back in. He also used a new coupling at the other end of the repair. Our technician also took care to install stud guards (which were not there previously) to prevent the homeowner drilling into the stud again. - The fact that my technician could quickly perform this repair does not in any way reflect on the difficulty of the job or the talent required to perform it. In fact, Mr. H. stated to my technician that he was "impressed with him using old-school techniques." This gentleman is a Master Plumber, with 17 years experience in plumbing. Most intelligent people recognize his ability, and are grateful to have a man of his caliber working at their home. - Our technicians use a 1400-degree torch inside a wall containing 2x4 wooden beams. When we work in a customer's home, we are careful to ensure that we do not burn wood, or leave it smoldering. Many people have tried to perform their own repairs, and had disastrous results (including a gentleman who later called us, after he had burned a portion of his house). - If Ms. S. felt the charges were so egregious, she never stated that, either to us, or to our technician. If she had expressed outrage such as this, he would have left the job site. Either people want us to work for them, or they don't. If they don't want us at their home, we don't want to be there. Contrary to what Ms. S. states in her review, Mr. H. claimed he was, "so happy to have water back on." AND, Very Importantly, he signed our Invoice, saying that he was 100% satisfied with the work, and charges were satisfactory. - Indeed, Ms. S. and Mr. H did have a choice. They could have refused our work, OR they could have waited till her regular, cheap plumber was available, OR Mr. H. could have performed the work himself. We don't make choices for customers. I've dealt with people like Ms. S. before. They are bullies, people who want to push others around. We are pleased that she has a regular plumber, and we encourage her to call him next time she has a plumbing emergency. Dixie Bishop Texas Plumbing Diagnostics 210-698-9790

Great experience! Highly recommend. I wanted to thank Master Plumber Angel Gregorio for the amazing work he provided! If you can believe it, it was an amazing experience. The work we needed was based on a failed hydrostatic test and the fix required digging under a house over 40 feet. Although this was an expensive undertaking, I did not feel overcharged or taken advantage of. Angel walked me through the entire process and I knew we were in good hands and that it was a fair price. Even with an expedited schedule, Angel worked with me every step of the way. He was kind and patient. Even on his off hours he ensured my house was top priority. I was blown away by their service. You get what you pay for and I definitely did when I called Texas Plumbing Diagnostics. They were excellent! Dixie was amazing. When I needed paperwork, she provided it all in perfect order quickly and seamlessly. Thank you for taking a nightmare problem into a easy solution!
Description of Work: Hydrostatic test failed due to a hairline crack within a pipe 40 feet under the house.

I called in the morning to make an appointment for 2:30 PM. At 2:27 I received a call to inform me that the Technician was running late and would be here at 4 or 4:30 pm. At 5:15 I called to find out where they were as no one had showed up. The man who answered the phone advised me he could not get to me today, and he had lost my number and thought I lived on the other side of town. I told him that was not my error, as I had provided them with the exact info he requested. I told him I would be reporting a bad review on Angie's List, and he advised me that they would respond tactfully and then hung up.

She called us to come out the next day, Tuesday, May 10th, to serve her, after the bad experience with the prior company. This review was posted on the other company, but I hope this customer will update the review to show her experience with Texas Plumbing DIAGNOSTICS! Thanks for allowing us to serve you, Ms. W!

For other Angie's List members, this customer was told by SAWS that he did not have a PRV, but our technician knew very quickly that a PRV was located somewhere on the property. As the customer has stated, our plumbing technician found the PRV under the sidewalk, proving once again that our plumbers find things others miss. I'm deeply grateful to have earned your trust, sir; and, I'm also grateful to have excellent plumbing technicians who find your plumbing problems and fix them. Texas Plumbing Diagnostics ...

I was originally quoted for a faucet replacement, which was a relatively inexpensive and quick fix. When the plumber arrived late in the day, he saw what was going on and gave me the new quote. The repair wasn't cheap, but the plumber stayed late, until it was done, working in the cold, wet, dark. The repair was done competently. Nobody likes paying for a plumber, but when you need their help, you want it done quickly, and done right. Texas Plumbing Diagnostics did just that.
Description of Work: A cracked line leading to my outside faucet had to be replaced.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Thanks very much for posting this review of Texas Plumbing Diagnostics. I appreciate your mention that the final price was different from the price given on the phone, and that the price change was due to a change in the actual work required. Often, we give phone estimates. We base these estimates on the information given to us by the customer, and since the customer is not likely to have training in plumbing, they may not be able to diagnose the actual problem. This is common. When our technicians arrive on site, they may be able to immediately see the problem, or they may have to use diagnostics skills and/or tools to locate the problem. Either way, the tech on site will let you know what course he needs to pursue to take care of your plumbing problem; once this determination is made, he'll get your approval for the work, and then get right to work. Thank you also for saying that our plumber "stayed late, until it was done, working in the cold, wet, dark." Texas Plumbing Diagnostics' plumbing technicians are some of the most dedicated men I have ever had the pleasure of working with. And, yes, they have stayed many times on jobs into the morning hours, to ensure that customers have water service. Thanks again for your very kind words, and, Thanks for calling Texas Plumbing Diagnostics! Dixie Texas Plumbing Diagnostics March 4, 2016

Great! When the flush was not enough to really fix the problem, they made the extra effort to get anew one in place before the weekend. This involved a difficult attic access. On both visits, Dave and Angel were prompt, courteous and thorough. They also took the time to show and explain what they did so we could better understand the system in the future
Description of Work: Angel and Dave checked gas water heater for poor performance, after discussing all factors, we asked that they attempt flushing the heater first. Problem recurred as we were advised it might so they installed a new water heater the next week.
