I had bought a $150 plumbing services coupon for $75 from this company through an Angie's list offer. Because we had already replaced two toilets in the house each for approx. $140-150 (from two different plumbing companies), we anticipated this coupon for $150 worth of services would cover the cost of the latest toilet, which we provided and had even hauled upstairs ourselves. When I made the appt. to replace the toilet, I commented to the man on the phone that we wanted to replace the toilet since we thought the $150 coupon would cover that. He made the appointment for me but DID NOT remark that this was NOT the case. The technician presented a bill that was approx $244 for the toilet installation and had wanted to charge an extra $92 just b/c the bathroom was upstairs. The coupon for $!50 was worthless to me if I still had to pay a lot of extra money to the plumber. The technician did take off the extra $90 charge but overall I still paid more to replace this toilet. The technician was very professional and did a fine job, however.

Response from Texas Plumbing Diagnostics
******** Thank you for your interest in our Company, and in posting a review. I am sorry that you were under the impression that your $75 purchase would completely pay for a toilet install. However, the price quoted by our technician is our book price. So, with the $75 you paid for the coupon, along with our charge, your cost came to $169. This is discounted when compared to our normal price, but I can understand your disappointment if you were expecting the coupon to cover the cost. In comparing our pricing with other plumbing companies on Angie's List, we find that, on this particular item, we are definitely in the correct pricing range. Our price includes hauling away the old toilet. Our technician, Jed, states that you have white carpet. He says that he bagged your old toilet as soon as it was disconnected, to protect your floors. We do feel that we take extra care to leave the customer's home clean, and with as little disruption as possible. I apologize for our Office personnel's failure to clearly describe our pricing to you. Jed says that he did offer to leave you with a free estimate only, but you decided to go ahead with the work. I offer my profound thanks for your remarks that Jed was "very professional and did a fine job." We are glad to hear that you are happy with the quality of work that he performed. He is a superior technician, and we are thankful to have him working with us. Your remarks are valuable, since they alert me to the need for more communications with our valued customers. Thanks again for taking time out of your day to write this review. Dixie

They did a really good job. They were also pleasant. It was expensive because the labor was difficult because there is not alot of room under the house for them to work. They were very fair in their prices as we knew it was going to cost alot.

***** Thanks very much for your report on our Company, Texas Plumbing Diagnostics, and thank you for mentioning the difficulties of work under a house. Some of the problems we have encountered under houses include: feral cats, raccoons, snakes, rats, spiders (and spider bites), dead animals, MRSA (and the accompanying treatments), low clearances, mud, broken glass and so forth. I was told by a local Microbiologist that plumbers are on the frontlines of defense for American health. We hold this honor and trust proudly, and thank you for allowing us to serve you in this manner. Dixie

On a Sunday night we discovered a large leak under our kitchen sink. We called them Sunday night, they came out on very short notice at 8 AM first thing Monday morning and repaired everything right in time before a home inspector came to our home at 9 AM. This could have cost us a lot of money and we are very grateful they came to perform the repairs prior to our home inspection.

Thanks very much for taking the time to post this review on Angie's List. As you discovered, we are ready -- even on a Sunday night -- to take care of your plumbing issues. Since we do charge an after-hours fee for coming out on Sunday, many people prefer to make their non-emergency appointments for Monday morning. Our first appointment is usually at 9:00 a.m., but we are happy that setting an earlier appointment with you worked out to your advantage. We are willing to work with our customers whenever we can, especially when an important event like home inspection is involved! Thanks again for your kind comments, and please call us if we may be of service in the future. Best wishes, Dixie

The man who came to my home was polite, knowledgeable and kept me informed of every step.

When I asked questions, they were honest. The young technician that came out explained to me exactly what he needed to do, and why he thought a certain thing needed to be done. We ended up having to replace a pipe. The work was done by only one technician, but he did an excellent job, and showed me what he had done. Their price was comparable if not a little better than other companies, and I was pleased with the work. I wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again.

Thanks very much for trusting us with your plumbing emergency! The young technician, who could probably pass for much younger, is actually over 30. He is in his twelfth year working as a Plumber. All of our plumbers are licensed as Journeyman or Master Plumbers. So, you can be sure that they are fully trained and experienced Plumbing Technicians. Thank you for noticing that we are competitive in our pricing. I often say that we are not the cheapest plumbers in town, but we are not the most expensive, either. We want to charge enough so that we can pay our employees well (thus retaining our excellent Plumbing Technicians), make a decent profit, and remain stable enough to still be in business and serving you for years to come. Thanks also for letting other Angie's List members know that our technicians will be honest regarding your plumbing problem. We want our customer to know what the issue is, so that you can make an educated decision regarding your repair options. And, there's nothing quite so vividly demonstrative as seeing the problem for yourself. Thanks again for calling Texas Plumbing Diagnostics. Any time you have a need for plumbing repairs, we will be at the ready, and looking forward to serving you again. With much appreciation for your business, Dixie

This is a report that's being long in coming and I apologize. I contacted Texas Plumbing Diagnostics (TPD) o/a 1/24/2012 to discuss an estimate to add a gas line for a gas stove and to buy and install a gas fired water heater. Fairly quickly an estimate was provided and a date for the installation agreed upon. All the dates and timelines were met and everything was done on time and at the agreed upon cost. Very professional and efficient. The actual installation was completed on 2/1/2012 and then I had to wait for the City's code inspectors to do their thing. By and large the job met most of the criteria, but a few additional clichés were discovered. One specifically ended up being very expensive. This required an electrical ground and had to be done by an electrician. Since this was a last minute thing, I just contacted an entity called "Mr.Electric". Since this was outside TPD's responsibility I had to bear the cost. Due to no fault of TPD, this company was somewhat pricey and ended up adding an extra $1100 to the project. Since this company is not listed on Angie's list I did not submit a report, but I would : "Never recommend these people". The job was done and then we waited for a re-inspection. This occurred three days later and most fixes were fine, but it appeared that this inspector had different criteria on some areas of the project and three more little tweaks had to be done. Any and all fixes or tweaks with regards to the plumbing part were done quickly, efficiently and without additional cost to me. Eventually we passed the final re-inspection. The inspection process added almost two more weeks, but throughout this period of time, the plumber that handled the work, Angel, was extremely professional, knowledgeable and punctual. In closing, I will restrict my comments to TPD. As I mentioned, the company met its cost estimate, its representatives were extremely knowledgeable, professional and kept me informed of the progress on this job. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Installed a new gas line and added and installed a gas water heater.

If we discover something that requires additional work and charges, we will let the customer know before we proceed with the work or charge anything more.

The plumber called to tell us he was on his way and showed up on time. We provided our own fixtures we had purchased because we wanted to pick out what we wanted. We have a fiberglass tub surround and I was expecting they were going to have to remove the surround to replace the fixtures. I was extremely surprised and pleased that he was able to replace the fixtures with out removing the surround. He left the bathroom clean and did an extremely professional job. I will certainly use them again.

Great experience - I bought a Big Deals Coupon for plumbing services provided by Texas Plumbing Diagnostics (TPD). I first called the company after purchasing the coupon to set up the appointment and get an estimage for what I wanted done. The price TPD quoted me to pull out my toilet and reseal it with the wax ring sounded reasonable (had a leak underneath the toilet everytime we flushed). I didn't know how reasonable their price was until I thought I would call around and get some estimates from other Angies' List plumbing companies. TPD's price was better than the phone estimates I received from the three other companies I contacted. The TPD plumber came and did the job quickly and professionally. He not only replaced the wax ring under the toilet, but also caulked around the toilet to seal it even more. That was not done by the previous installer. He even The TPD plumber was very thorough and gave me invaluable information about the cause of the toilet leak. I would certainly hire TPD to work on any other plumbing needs and would, without reservation, refer them to my family and friends.

We are not the least expensive company in town, but we are certainly not the most expensive. And we feel that giving you an upfront price, when possible, sets clear expectations for both you and our technicians. If we discover that the work required goes beyond what was quoted on the phone, or expected by the customer, we are careful to go over the price before we start work or charge you anything further. We're happy to hear that your plumbing issue was easily resolved, and that our technician went above and beyond what you expected. I am so thankful for our superior plumbing technicians!

On a Friday afternoon, about 3:30 or 4:00 pm is when we talked to them They were able to go buy the American brand of hot water heater we wanted, get a permit from our city, and come out and service our problem that afternoon. They were at our house between 5:30 and 6:00pm. Angel (our technician) was very professional, very informative & let us know exactly what needed to be done in order to fix our problem. When he had questions, he asked his boss (the owner, who came by to see him) rather than guess. They had to come back Monday to correct the vent problem, but rather than leave us without hot water for the weekend, used our old vent system until Monday when the roofer could come out and complete the job. They made a point to go get the hot water heater we wanted rather than make us settle for what they had around. To top it off, it started raining, thundering & lightning while Angel was working. We were given a military discount as well. Although the expense was significant, I feel we got a great value. I will recommend this company to anyone who asks.
Description of Work: Removed a leaking hot water heater & disposed of it, installed new 50 gallon hot water heater, corrected plumbing to bring it up to code, cleaned up the area and hauled off all the trash. The wore shoe covers to protect our floor from mud and dirt as well.

Thanks for this excellent report! When we talked on Friday, all my technicians were out on jobs, and I was concerned that they might not be able to make it by the supply house to get the heater you requested. Our Plumbing Manager, Norwood, left immediately to pick up the heater and deliver it to your location. I am so thankful to have a cohesive team that works together to facilitate our customers' projects. Thanks for your kind comments concerning Angel. As you noticed, he is the consummate professional. He is knowledgeable, dedicated, and kind. We are so thankful to have him working with us, and are very pleased to know that you were happy with him as well. Our responsibility is to always strive to leave our customers with water service and hot water, and I'm glad you had the use of your heater during the weekend period. Most of us have been without hot water for at least some period of time, and we all recognize that it is no fun! We also abide by the Plumbing Codes and City Codes. These codes are in place for the protection and safety of the homeowner. I'm thankful that you had the necessary code upgrades performed so that you can be sure your gas water heater is operating correctly and is safe. Thank you for realizing the value of having a licensed, trained plumbing technician to perform your repairs. And thanks again for using Texas Plumbing Diagnostics! Dixie

Didn't realize how expensive water heaters are including labor. However, the work was accomplished in a timely manner and the technician was very professional. He emphazided the importance of "draining the tank annually" and showed me how to do this .. simple.
Description of Work: My 8 year old water heater wasn't heating the water very well. I have a water softner and thought I really didn't have to "drain" the water heater as is recommended, as it turned out I should have. The technician showed us how much lime was in the tank. As a result the only solution was to replace the water heater.

Thank you for taking your time to post this report! I especially appreciate that you took your time to explain how the appointment was handled, and that you were thorough enough to answer the additional questions. Many people are not aware of the severity of the problem with minerals in the water in the San Antonio area. If you are unsure as to whether your water softener is adjusted properly, please feel free to ask our technician to check your softener settings while he is at your home. We (and manufacturers) advise our customers to have their water heaters drained on a yearly basis. This will prevent the harmful buildup you noticed in your 8-year-old heater. The buildup of minerals in a water heater can cause the heater to malfunction. As you noticed, the built-up minerals also take up space in the heater that should be holding water. This is why homeowners will often notice that they are getting less and less hot water. If you are not comfortable with performing a water heater flush, we are always at the ready to perform this much-needed service for you. We understand every homeowner's concern with the cost of high-ticket plumbing items. We are not the cheapest company in town, but we know that some companies charge much more for the same services. Our aim in this regard is to charge enough that we can pay our valued employees well, run our company well enough to maintain an excellent level of customer service, and hopefully, make a profit for ourselves. I am certainly gratified to read that you were satisfied with our service and that you got exactly what you paid for. I know that this was the first time you used our company; thank you so much! I look forward to working with you again on any plumbing services you may need. Dixie

It was a pleasant and reqarding experience, and I am definiteely keeping TPD on record in case future work is needed.
Description of Work: OurSan Antonio (zip 78242) 3 bedroom, 2 bath home on a concrete slab is sunken 2,5 inches in a front corner and raised sharply 3 inches in one spot at the rear of the old house built in 1965, I called TPD to not only inspect for leaks but to find the paths and junctions of the drains under the house. As a retired engineer I had a lot of curiousity and questions, as well as knowledge of what would constitute a good job. Owner Dixie was very friendly and took considerable time explaining what they oould do and answering my questions. She scheduled an inspector with camera and signal finder to visit that same afternoon. Jed, the serviceman, was likewise very friendly, answered my many questions and put up with my suggestions, as well as let me view the screen view being picked up by the camera. Yet because he knew I was on a tight budget, he worked rapidly, His inspection proved that the main drain followed an unexpected path, was unexpectedly made up of both old corroded 4 inch cast iron and newer 4 inch PVC, and did not have any leak along the main drain except a small leak at a more recently 10 year old poorly installed outdoor PVC cleanout. TPD's inspection proved that neither the sinking nor the raised portions of the hosue were due to plumbing leaks, and allowed me to proceed with a better designed yet less expensive fix of the badly tilted foundation (which we had already contracted with another company).

They had an Angie's List Big Deal for $75 off of $150 that I purchased so I only had to pay him $27. The experience was excellent. His name was Angel and I really liked him. He told me what the problem was and showed me the problem. He told me how we could do it ourselves if we wanted to do it ourselves without using them so he gave me the option. I wouldn't have had to pay anything that day but I decided to go ahead and use his services because he seemed very honest and upfront about all the costs and everything. I would absolutely use him again.
Description of Work: I used Texas Plumbing Diagnostics to clean out my hot water tank. He had to drain it and clean out the inside because we were having an issue with grime and build up in our faucets, showers and tubs.

These are exactly the qualities we desire to present to our valued customers. Thank you so much for saying that our technician was good, and that you really liked him.

Thanks very much for posting a report on our company, and our valued employee, Angel, on Angie's List. We are thankful to have a man like Angel working with us. He is a highly competent technician, with years of experience and training. Thank you for noticing his excellent work ethic. We appreciate your patience in allowing us to schedule a later appointment, and then, work you in as quickly as possible. Since the number of plumbing calls we will receive in a day is an unpredictable, we do our best to remain in contact with the customer and let them know if we are able to come earlier. Or, if we're held up by traffic or any other factor, we also want to make the customer aware that we will arrive as quickly as possible. Thank you again for your kind remarks. We look forward to serving you again; we appreciate customers like you! Dixie Bishop Owner

gas leak repair

We have an older home that we have recently purchased. I called TPD (Texas Plumbing Diagnostics, LLC) to get an idea what it would cost for the above work. Dixie answered (part owner) and was very helpful and polite. She didn't have the exact cost handy, but sent me an email within the hour on what it would cost. We were able to schedule an appointment for the same afternoon which was so much faster than I anticipated. Jed was sent to do the work. He knew his job and explained as he worked what he was doing. Since we have never had gas in a home before, he was very patient about telling my husband and I how to light the fireplace. He explained why we should or should not do certain things regarding the gas fireplace. He also helped us with the wall furnace in the other room. It is nice to know that our 40+ year old house has a gas fireplace that is up to State standards.
Description of Work: Cleaned gas burner , shop vaccumed all dirt and soot from fireplace, pulled out burner assembly and changed gas flex line suppling fire place burner. Relite furnace for other part of house. Explained how to use fireplace gas valve and how to light it and checked for gas leaks. All work and material were brought up to Teas State Standards.

Thanks so much for writing this report. We are excited to add exceptional people like you and your husband to our customer list! Your remarks are extremely helpful, not only to other Angie's List members, but also to Texas Plumbing Diagnostics. Your feedback on the performance of our technicians is invaluable to me as I implement training and customer relations programs. So, I appreciate very much that you let me know what, as a valued customer, is important to YOU. We have had several calls recently concerning gas fireplaces. If a gas fireplace has never been used, or has not been used for some time, a homeowner may not feel comfortable lighting and using it. For those homeowners who have these concerns, we will come out, examine the gas piping and insure it meets code requirements, light the fireplace, and instruct the homeowner as to how to operate the fireplace. Your safety is paramount in our concerns, so don't hesitate to call if you are unsure of the safety of any gas connections. Thanks again for allowing us to assist you with the operation and safety of your gas fireplace. Dixie

Angel, the plumber, was prompt. He knew what he was doing, he had parts and equipment necessary for the job. He took time to explain the problem, the fix, and he charged a fair price.

We are very thankful they recommended the static test as it turned up several issues that could potentially have become very costly to us in the future. Being a mortgage lender in San Antonio, I will be referring all of my clients purchasing a home to TPD for a plumbing inspection.
Description of Work: We hired TPD to perform a thorough plumbing inspection of a property we were interested in purchasing. We had intended to do only a walk-thru inspection, but given their knowledge of the area, they also recommended a static test to be done.

As we are all well aware, the purchase of a new home can be a very expensive proposition. During the especially stressful period between making an offer and attending closing, it can be tempting to go the least expensive route possible to check on the home's plumbing. But, as you have seen, this is not always the best way. Unexpected plumbing repairs can slam a costly dent in the household budget, but you can gain a high level of awareness of any plumbing issues and a significant level of peace of mind by having your plumbing thoroughly checked before purchasing a home. We are honored that you chose to use our company to perform this important plumbing inspection, and we look forward to serving you and your customers in the future as well. Dixie

Thank you for calling us to check on a leak at your rental property. We work for several property management companies, as well as individuals who manage their own properties, and we understand the need for quick repairs and an accurate diagnosis. Thank you for noticing that our technician did not try to "create" work by reporting a nonexistent plumbing problem. Because our technicians are not paid on a commission basis, they have no incentive to upsell or misrepresent plumbing issues to our customers. We are thankful to have this young man working with our company, and we appreciate you taking note of his honesty, his attitude and his punctuality. If we may be of service in the future for plumbing repairs at any of your rental properties, please call TPD. We appreciate your business! Dixie

gas grill repair, plumbing

The installation went very well, overall. Once the date and time was set up, a call was received to confirm the services. Prior to arrival on the date scheduled, Angel called to advise me of a slight delay in arrival. He gave me a 15 minute window and was prompt with the new start time. The overall project took a bit longer than anticipated but there was no delay in the work progress. The technician, Angel, remainded on the job and worked tirelessly until it was complete. Mr. Bishop even stopped by, at one point, to ensure progress was going smoothly. We are more than satisfied with the work and the professionalism of the foks at Texas Plumbing Diagnostics. We highly recommend them to others and look forward to seeing them again for the additional services to set up our fire pit.
Description of Work: A new gas line was needed to hook up a gas grill outdoors in our new home. We had an estimate from TPD to run the gas line for the grill and during the process discussed future plans for a fire pit. The installation for the gas line to the grill was set up with the ability to extend the line further out into the yard when the fire pit is set up. Mr. Bishop was attentive to our immediate needs and had the foresight to plan this project to accommodate the future plans for a fire pit. This demonstrated the professionalism of Mr. Bishop and his technician, Angel, with listening skills to meet our immediate needs while preparing to acccommodate an extension on the line for a fire pit in the future. We are now in a position to go forward with the fire pit, when that project is undertaken, without added costs to revise the current gas line hookup.

Thank you for allowing us to perform work on installation of a gas line extension at your home. We hope that you enjoy your gas grill for years to come! Many people are not aware that gas line repair should be performed by a licensed plumbing technician. In the City of San Antonio, a permit must also be issued for gas line work, and the work may require inspection by a City Inspector. Sometimes, a customer can even be "red-tagged" by the City, or "green-tagged" by CPS Energy. A licensed plumbing technician must then perform repairs to the gas lines before the tag can be removed and service restored by the City or CPS. We appreciate the trust you have placed in our company by allowing us to perform this plumbing service for you. We are happy to hear that you were pleased with Angel's work, and we are thankful to have a superior employee like Angel working with us. When you are ready to install your gas fire pit, we will be ready to make the connections as necessary. And, if you prefer to have Angel perform this work as well, please feel free to specify your preference when you call. Thank you again for your kind remarks. Dixie
