Response from Texas Plumbing Diagnostics
Your simple expression of your experience with Texas Plumbing Diagnostics tells a potential customer everything he or she needs to know. You were wise to get a second opinion when you didn't feel comfortable regarding a possible broken pipe at your home. You were thoughtful, and you realized that it is cheaper to pay twice for diagnostics than to pay far too much for a repair that may not be necessary. I am so deeply appreciative of your comments, “Turns out pipe was not broken as told by previous plumbing company. I would not hesitate to use this company in the future.” Of course, I can tell customers that our technicians are honest, and that they have no incentive to “sell” large jobs, because they are paid a salary no matter what repairs the customer chooses. However, you have both the description and the customer experience to back up your words. Please know that we will look forward to assisting you with plumbing services at any time that you may need us. It will be our pleasure to serve you. Thank you so much!

Description of Work: We moved into an existing home recently. One of the bathroom sinks started getting a slow drain. I tried cleaning the bathroom sink trap, but the former owner had everything glued so that I was not able to clean out the piping. I called Texas Plumbing Diagnostics on a Sunday evening and committed to have someone out the next day to service the sink. The rep assessed the problem and determined that he needed to obtain another part. He returned promptly and completed the job.

Description of Work: The plumber was very punctual and did an excellent job. He removed and replaced the two 1/2" flexible plumbing lines with 3/4" flexible plumbing lines. He also added 2 safety turn off valves on both lines which I wanted so if my water softener leaks, I can turn off the water on each plumbing line and not at the street. He also replaced an E shaped copper tubing where 1 of the 3 copper tubing was starting to leak. I asked him to replace all of the copper tubing (E shaped) for if one started to leak around the leaking soldered copper pipes, the other 2 might leak. Plus it was easier for him to cut the 3 copper tubing prongs off, solder them together into an E and then solder them to the cut of prongs. I would hire them again for my plumbing needs.

Thank you for saying that, “Angel and Eric were very professional and answered the call promptly.” I’m so glad, too, that you got all your questions answered.

Some of our customers who have more common uses for the smaller, citrus-based unit (which uses a replaceable cartridge), are: those who live in a condominium or apartment, where there is no room for a larger unit; those who are unable to lift large bags of salt; or, those who wish to avoid salt altogether. If you have questions or need help choosing a softener for your other units, please call Texas Plumbing Diagnostics at 210-698-9790. We’ll look forward to serving you again any time.

Description of Work: called for a leak and clogged a/c drain. In the past various companies have been unable/unwilling to determine why the a/c drain kept backing up. Jed and Dave discovered yellow jackets nesting in the drain. They cleared primary and secondary drain, removed yellow jacket nests, fixed leak in bathroom caused by last year's a/c back-up repairmen. They went above and beyond the call of duty, were polite, professional and hardworking. I recommend them!

I remember our conversation when you called Texas Plumbing Diagnostics. I was concerned that you had this problem every season. I was thinking that you might need to have work performed every year to ensure the drain was working, before a leak could damage your home. But, oh, how wonderful it is to deal with the root of the problem! I’m always amazed to learn of the things my technicians deal with. They’re very matter-of-fact about it; many times, we don’t even hear about it here in the Office. I’m smiling now, just thinking about the superior plumbing technicians who serve our customers here at Texas Plumbing Diagnostics. Thanks for the smile!

Instead, they are free to do as this technician did for you: Give you an honest assessment of the problem, and provide you with the most reasonable solution. Often, we are able to give two or more options in dealing with a problem, to give the customer the highest amount of flexibility in dealing with his or her plumbing issues.

Description of Work: We had a control block for 3 outside hose bibs start leaking in the garage. We had first contacted another local plumber who wasn't able to work with our problem, so I found this plumber on Angie's List at the top of the ratings. The first plumber was able to tell me exactly what I had so I could explain my needs to the one I used, and they could get the part. They scheduled promptly (it was a drip so I could wait til the next day), and the tech called to tell me he was on the way...he actually got there a few minutes ahead of the appointment...love that! He didn't have the part on him because it needed to be ordered, but temporarily capped off the line so we could be away in the meantime while they found the part. He also suggested a second option...he could make a replacement out of brass fittings (original is a plastic piece with knobs) that should be a better long term replacement. He called the next morning with the price of each and the brass would only be $20 more so I went with that. We set an appointment for the install and it went without any surprises. Plumbing is expensive but I feel their prices are in line with what I would expect for two trips and two fixes. I felt I was working with competent, professional plumbers who I would not hesitate to use again. Highly recommend them!

As you related, we are typically unable to obtain a manifold on short notice. And, since this part is rarely in demand, we do not normally carry it on our trucks.

I’m happy to know that our technician gave you options in dealing with your plumbing issues, and that you felt confident when choosing to go with a slightly higher-priced item. Sometimes, spending a little bit more makes us a little bit happier with the result! Thank you for saying, “I feel the prices are in line with what I would expect for two trips and two fixes.” You obviously have a good understanding of the cost of doing business and providing quality technicians driving a Company-provided truck.

Description of Work: Texas Plumbing Diagnostics replaced the faucets in the shower and two tubs. They did a fine job, it was just really expensive. It was 399 for the first one and the second and third were 299 a piece. I bought the faucets, they only had to replace the plumbing in the wall. They did a really nice job, advising me on every change. The job took 6 hours so they charged about 160 dollars an hour. I'm glad it was done, and they did a really nice job.

Response from Texas Plumbing Diagnostics
Thank you for your interest in our Company, Texas Plumbing Diagnostics, and thank you for allowing us to replace three shower valves in your home. I appreciate your mention that the job was a lengthy one. Our technicans were dispatched to the job site at 8:30 am, and completed the job at 3:30 pm. Although a Journeyman Plumber was there the whole time, he was assisted by a Master Plumber for part of the time, in order to expedite your appointment. I also appreciate your mention that the technicians "did a really nice job." They took great care to preserve your shower tile, which saved you the cost of tile repair. I'm very proud of their efforts in this regard. My technician mentioned that you are a handy person, and like to perform your own repairs, but I'm glad that you called out a professional plumber for this item. Great skill and care are required when a torch is used in the tight confines of a shower valve set-up. It can be very tricky. We have actually had a customer who used a torch in attempting to perform his own repairs, and thinking everything was fine, he left the home, unaware that his lack of skill in using the torch had started a fire in the wood framing. After the damage and loss, we were called in to perform a much more extensive and costly repair. Thank you also for calling us out again after this initial service call. The fact that you trusted and used our Company, Texas Plumbing Diagnostics, to perform further plumbing services for you lets us know what an outstanding job our technicians did. Please call us any time we may be of further service. With appreciation, Dixie

See statement above.
Description of Work: TPD was prompt and courteous. However, after finding the leak, they wanted an additional $1200. for replacing the line from the meter to the house. They said that they could not get to the repair for over a week. (Our water bill was over $1,000.00 due to the leak), I feel like they were interested in finding the leak, (the easy part),and getting paid for that and not solving the problem. They realized that the leak was significant and yet they wanted us to wait a week risking possible damage to the foundation or driveway. I feel the charge was excessive and it was a waste of time to call this company. Would not recommend. I found the owner to be offensive and less than honest in dealing with my concerns. His technician NEVER offered to do a "spot" repair of I would have most definitely done so... It would have been illogical for me to so, "no, don't fix my problem".... If you read the tone of his response, you will get a glimpse of his attitude towards satisfying his customers. I would never recommend this company to anyone. I have never had such a negative response from a company in response to my concerns. By the way, the additional several hundred charges that I was charged was to simply saw a small hole in the sheet rock in my garage to turn a valve off and on. A $25.00 coupon is a half cent discount which does not justify the excessive charge and the obvious strategy of not fully serving the customer. I hardly find $352.00 for walking around my house checking for leaks and cutting a small hole in the sheet rock a reasonable charge. But, what do I know about plumbing? I'm just a hard working individual that believes in fairness and reasonable fees for services. TPD does a poor job in justifying themselves and out and out lied as well. I stand by my statements. My advice, there is better out there... Don't waste your time or money with these folks... On a positive note, Mr. Plumber was out there the next morning and within four hours, (without major digging equipment), had my problem resolved with a new line with up to date code specs. They were prompt, courteous and reasonably priced.

Response from Texas Plumbing Diagnostics
***** Thank you for saying that you considered our Company to be prompt and courteous. On the other parts of your review, I have a few remarks: 1.) You state that we wanted $1200 for replacing the line from the meter to the house. What you didn't mention is that part of the distance we would have to cover is covered by a concreted walkway, and another part would have to run under a concrete wall. We would also have to dig around a bush located near the water meter to preserve your landscaping. These are all items that present difficulties, and require skill and care. It is our experience that dirt in San Antonio can be hard, compacted soil filled with rocks. We are willing to work in these conditions, and deal with the items above, but we must be paid accordingly. 2.) You state that we could not get to the repair for over a week. The actual time was 6 days, and our technician offered to do a spot repair for you. You refused the spot repair and stated that you preferred to have the entire line replaced. Our digging crew was unavailable until Wednesday; we could use other crews to do our digging, but we are hesitant to use an untested crew to perform digging work for our valuable customers. 3. You state that we realized the leak was significant, and yet we wanted you to risk damage to your foundation or driveway. However, when you spoke with me on the phone, you told me that you had an unexplained increase in your water bill for several months before you finally were contacted by SAWS and directed to call and plumber and have the leak repaired. And, again, as above, we offered to do a spot repair for you; we never want to leave our customers without water service. 4. You state that you felt the charge was excessive. Our technician did not charge you our usual access charge of $133, but instead, rolled it into the diagnostic charge. You also used a $25 coupon. I think you got a great deal on the work we did for you, with a total savings of $158. Unfortunately, some people do not realize the skills necessary to perform plumbing repairs or the difficulty involved in accessing and performing repairs in certain areas, such as underground plumbing. My plumbing technician, Angel, has 13 years of experience and a Master's License. Every day he and my other valuable technicians risk injury and exposure to contaminants, etc., to provide my customers with superior plumbing skills and customer service. My highest aim is to reach customers who appreciate the skills and service that my Company offers, and are willing to pay for them. My repeat customers are people who have come to know us, know our integrity, and know that we will be there for them should problems arise. To THOSE people, I say, thank you very much .... may I serve you? With deepest appreciation to my customers, and an offer to give the very best plumbing service we can give to our future customers, Dixie
