The 15 plumbers serving Del Valle, ranked.

We track 40 plumbing companies working within 20 miles of Del Valle and have read 3,352 of their reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB — including every one-star review we could find. 23 answer 24/7 per their Google listings; where reviewers describe real middle-of-the-night calls, that evidence is quoted on the cards below. Rankings are not for sale.

Del Valle's problem isn't finding a plumber; it's telling them apart — the median rating here is 4.9, and when everyone has five stars, the stars stop helping. 25 of these companies carry 100+ reviews — enough history for real patterns to show. The patterns differ more than the ratings do: 35 of the 40 have a repeated complaint pattern in their reviews — quotes that grew mid-job, unreturned callbacks — flagged and quoted on their cards below. One number worth knowing: Radiant Plumbing, Air Conditioning, & Electrical alone carries 16,714 Google reviews — the deepest review base in this radius. Across the reviews we analyzed, the work named most often is water heaters and drain clearing.

How we rank — the 60-second version

What we read: for each plumber, up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB — the full text, not just the stars. For this page: 1,583 reviews across 15 businesses.

What moves a plumber up: repeated, independent evidence of showing up when promised, fair and upfront pricing, and work that holds. One glowing review counts for little; twenty that agree count for a lot.

What moves a plumber down: repeated complaint patterns — surprise fees, missed appointments, pressure sales — especially when they show up on more than one platform.

What never moves the ranking: money. One clearly labeled sponsored slot may appear above this list; it never changes the order below it.

Our take on each plumber is our opinion, grounded in the reviews we quote on this page. Full methodology ↓

Our take — how we form it

Calls you back immediately, shows up fast even on holidays, and actively avoids upselling—the anti-typical emergency plumber.

What reviewers keep saying

  • Exceptional responsiveness and after-hours availability. Multiple reviews document same-day or next-day service, including holiday emergencies (water heater replaced before Christmas, Thanksgiving morning leak diagnosis). (cited in 3 of 191 reviews)
  • Aggressive anti-upsell culture. 6 reviews explicitly praise avoiding unnecessary work; one reviewer compared quotes from 7 competitors and found O&M recommended least work while others pushed unnecessary shower rebuilds. (cited in 4 of 191 reviews)
  • Exceptional troubleshooting and problem-solving. Multiple reviews document solving issues that stumped 3+ other plumbers, including water heater problems, leaky shut-off valves, and corroded outdoor spigots. (cited in 2 of 191 reviews)

What reviewers complain about

  • Pricing can be high for specific services. One reviewer noted $614 toilet + angle stop installation was 'more expensive than I would have thought' despite 5-star rating; another mentioned concerns about initial estimate. (1 of 191 reviews)
What reviewers praise
“Andrew was the most friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful professional that we’ve had out to our place. To the point, efficient, and clean work. I cannot recommend O & M Plumbing enough. There is a reason why they get so many great ratings!”

Juan & Only Plumber

Top pick
4.9 (345 Google reviews) 12.3 mi from downtown Del ValleNot a 24/7 shop
Our take — how we form it

Same-day emergency response with strong workmanship, but one detailed complaint about a technician overselling a $10K unnecessary job warrants caution.

Rating mix — of the 15 reviews we analyzed345 total on Google
5★13
4★0
3★0
2★1
1★1

Why we're cautious

  • HIGH CONCERN: One detailed, credible complaint (vuK9QySL7iAwBOt06aOE) alleges technician 'Chris' dismissed customer's informed diagnosis without proper investigation and quoted $10K in unnecessary work (rerouting pipes through attic/cabinets) when actual issue was a $100 drain coupler leak. Customer only discovered this after investigating independently. Reviewer explicitly calls them 'scammers' and 'worse than mechanics.' While isolated in 75 reviews, the specificity and stakes (potential $10K overcharge) warrant red flag status. (1 of 97 reviews)
  • One instance of durability issue: job lasted only a few weeks before same problem recurred (1 of 97 reviews)

To be fair

  • Exceptional emergency responsiveness: 6 reviews explicitly mention same-day or within-hours arrival, including after-hours calls (late afternoon to evening requests fulfilled same day) (cited in 6 of 97 reviews)
  • Transparent, honest pricing approach: 5 reviews highlight no pressure for unnecessary add-ons, fair estimates, and willingness to let customers source materials elsewhere (cited in 5 of 97 reviews)
  • Named technicians (Connor, Robert, Jose, Eric, Joshua, Luis) consistently praised for professionalism, politeness, and clear communication across 15+ reviews (cited in 6 of 97 reviews)
What reviewers praise

4.8 (16,714 Google reviews) 11.6 mi from downtown Del Valle

Exceptional emergency response and workmanship, but high pricing and occasional scheduling friction that could delay critical repairs.

Rating mix — of the 15 reviews we analyzed16,714 total on Google
5★12
4★0
3★0
2★2
1★1

Why we're cautious

  • High-pressure sales tactics during service calls: one reviewer reported being upsold on a full sewer line replacement ($20k) when the issue was in a city easement and ultimately the city made repairs at no cost; sales rep continued pushing even after customer stated they'd contact the city first (1 of 91 reviews)
  • Follow-up cancellation after negative review posted: customer reported that after leaving a critical review about scheduling, a technician who texted he was en route was then cancelled
  • Pricing consistently flagged as high or 'astronomical'—one customer explicitly stated water heater installation felt expensive but paid it anyway; another received $20k/$10k/$5k sewer quotes that city ultimately covered for free (2 of 91 reviews)

To be fair

  • Multiple technicians praised for emergency availability and after-hours responsiveness, including weekend calls during freeze conditions and late-night burst pipe repairs (cited in 3 of 91 reviews)
  • Consistent pattern of technicians going above and beyond: fixing issues ahead of schedule, offering same-day solutions, and educating customers on system maintenance (cited in 4 of 91 reviews)
  • High-quality workmanship maintained across plumbing, HVAC, and electrical services with consistent standards noted by multi-year customers (cited in 2 of 91 reviews)

Rooter-Man Plumbing Austin TX

4.9 (1,192 Google reviews)4.7 on Yelp (100) 19.5 mi from downtown Del ValleNot a 24/7 shop
Our take — how we form it

Rooter-Man Austin holds 4.9 across 1,192 reviews with 97/100 sampled at 5-star — Eddie installs garbage disposals + piping in single visits at no extra charge for found problems, and named techs (Eddie, Alan Thompson, Curtis Kurka) draw repeat-customer loyalty.

Why we're cautious

  • Tankless water heater part flagged as known-defective by another plumber; Rooter-Man wanted $300 to install each replacement. (1 of 100 reviews)
  • Warranty-part install surcharge complaint — $300 charged twice to install a warranty-covered tankless valve that one reviewer says is 30 minutes of labor. (1 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Same-day, single-visit job completion — Eddie replaced piping, disposal, basket strainer plus a wall switch at no extra charge in one visit. (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)
  • Multi-year repeat customers (Eddie has been at one home 'for years', a property at Charlie's for years) — strong loyalty signal. (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)
  • Named technicians (Curtis, Alan, Eddie, Chris, Jay & Matthew) consistently call back and remember situations — small-team feel at scale. (cited in 3 of 100 reviews)
What reviewers praise

Large multi-trade Austin shop at 4.7 over 6,288 reviews — 39/100 sampled are 1-star, with a documented $16k AC install that triggered hardware issues and an explicit 'we don't work weekends' refusal during a broken-since-Wednesday AC emergency.

Our sample skews heavily toward critical reviews — it disagrees with the Google average shown above.

Why we're cautious

  • Warranty work caused secondary damage — techs forgot to glue condensation tubes, causing a second ceiling leak the same day; weeks of insurance/reimbursement requests ignored per one reviewer. (1 of 100 reviews)
  • Property-manager workflow described as gated by 'unnecessary owner authorization' and upfront-payment demands after prior approvals. (1 of 100 reviews)
  • Explicit refusal of weekend work — 'they don't work weekends so they can't fix till Monday AM' during a multi-day AC outage. (1 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Long-tenured Gold Service membership program with named, repeat-praised techs (Saul, Pablo, Julian Rodriguez) for HVAC tune-ups. (cited in 3 of 100 reviews)

  • Two of three newly-installed HVAC systems had gas leaks; one had been leaking over a week before the homeowner caught it during Christmas decoration setup. (1 of 100 reviews)
  • Quote inflation pattern documented: $1,600 quoted for a Pressure Reducing Valve that another company did at significantly lower cost. (1 of 100 reviews)
  • 13 reviews flag slow response — one reviewer waited from 11 AM to 4:23 PM past the window before techs arrived. (2 of 100 reviews)

  • 10 explicit 'expensive' mentions including a $420 toilet snake and tankless install costs flagged as predatory. (2 of 100 reviews)
  • Flat-fee pricing draws repeat complaints — $420 to snake a toilet regardless of time spent is a documented quote. (2 of 100 reviews)

  • Tech described as rude/upfront-payment-demanding at a commercial site before even diagnosing — escalated as a refusal-to-service incident. (1 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Strong HVAC/install execution when crews land — named techs Marvin, Randy, Ryan, Elvin, Adam get repeat praise for clean installs. (cited in 3 of 100 reviews)
  • After-hours garbage disposal swap — one reviewer was offered 7-8 PM service with on-truck stainless steel and lower-cost models for upfront pricing. (cited in 1 of 100 reviews)

Economy Plumbing Services, LLC

We'd call someone else first
4.6 (592 Google reviews) 8.0 mi from downtown Del ValleNot a 24/7 shop
Our take — how we form it

Fast emergency response and quality work from named technicians, but pricing is highly inconsistent—some call it fair, others report $500+ charges for minor tasks.

Rating mix — of the 15 reviews we analyzed592 total on Google
5★9
4★0
3★0
2★0
1★6

Our sample skews heavily toward critical reviews — it disagrees with the Google average shown above.

Why we're cautious

  • Possible quote inflation and upselling tactics: One reviewer alleges technician deliberately placed water in water heater pan to justify unnecessary $3,000+ replacement of functioning unit (1 of 92 reviews)
  • High score variance (34) indicates inconsistent experience across customers—quality appears heavily dependent on which technician is assigned
  • Severe pricing inconsistency and fairness concerns: 3 reviewers report dramatically inflated charges ($500 per toilet tightening, $1,000 for two toilets, $3,000 water heater replacement quote vs. $1,000 independent estimate), while others report fair pricing (3 of 92 reviews)

To be fair

  • Exceptional emergency responsiveness: Multiple reviewers report same-day service, rapid text/call responses, and arrival ahead of schedule (cited in 4 of 92 reviews)
  • Consistent workmanship quality from named technicians (Sean, Michael, Liam, Zachary, Grant): 18 five-star reviews specifically praise professionalism, knowledge, and job completion (cited in 17 of 92 reviews)
  • Good communication and transparency when service goes well: Multiple reviewers note technicians explained work thoroughly and provided cost-saving recommendations (cited in 4 of 92 reviews)

4.5 (577 Google reviews)3.1 on Yelp (100) 10.7 mi from downtown Del Valle
Our take — how we form it

Excellent same-day emergency response and workmanship, but pricing surprises and inconsistent customer service quality create risk on larger jobs.

1★6

Our sample skews heavily toward critical reviews — it disagrees with the Google average shown above.

Why we're cautious

  • Inconsistent quality across technicians: While most named technicians (Daniel, Andrew, Sam, Nate, Richard, Travis, Gabe) receive 5-star praise, multiple complaints cite rude or unprofessional plumber behavior from other dispatched staff (1 of 202 reviews)
  • No-show or extreme delay on scheduled emergency work: 1 review documents complete no-show on a day-before-Thanksgiving after-hours job despite customer being a 15+ year loyal account holder, with evasive and rude dispatcher communication (1 of 202 reviews)

To be fair

  • Fast emergency response: Multiple reviewers cite same-day or within-1-hour service, with one noting arrival within 30 minutes of call (cited in 4 of 202 reviews)

Beyond Wow Plumbing & Drains

4.7 (341 Google reviews)2.3 on Yelp (8) 13.8 mi from downtown Del ValleNot a 24/7 shop
Our take — how we form it

Excellent emergency response and professional technicians, but expect quotes 2-3x market rate and be prepared for workmanship issues on complex installations.

5★6
4★0
3★0
2★1
1★8

Our sample skews heavily toward critical reviews — it disagrees with the Google average shown above.

Why we're cautious

  • Workmanship inconsistency: reviewers report defective faucet installations, failed pipe repairs within warranty period, and condescending responses when customers report problems (2 of 105 reviews)
  • Scheduling reliability issues: one reviewer reported 4.5-hour delay on scheduled appointment window (booked 2pm-6pm, called at 6:30pm) and initial answering service unable to confirm service area despite having local office (1 of 105 reviews)

To be fair

  • Fast emergency response: multiple reviewers report same-day or late-hour service (Friday evening, after-hours calls accepted) (cited in 2 of 105 reviews)
  • High professionalism and courtesy: 8+ reviewers explicitly praise politeness, professionalism, shoe covers, and respectful behavior (cited in 5 of 105 reviews)

What reviewers complain about in Del Valle

The repeated complaint patterns our read surfaced, business by business — each links to the card where the supporting quotes live. How we find these →

  • Juan & Only Plumber — HIGH CONCERN: One detailed, credible complaint (vuK9QySL7iAwBOt06aOE) alleges technician 'Chris' dismissed customer's informed diagnosis without proper investigation and quoted $10K in unnecessary work (rerouting pipes through attic/cabinets) when actual issue was a $100 drain coupler leak. Customer only discovered this after investigating independently. Reviewer explicitly calls them 'scammers' and 'worse than mechanics.' While isolated in 75 reviews, the specificity and stakes (potential $10K overcharge) warrant red flag status.
  • Radiant Plumbing, Air Conditioning, & Electrical — High-pressure sales tactics during service calls: one reviewer reported being upsold on a full sewer line replacement ($20k) when the issue was in a city easement and ultimately the city made repairs at no cost; sales rep continued pushing even after customer stated they'd contact the city first
  • Radiant Plumbing, Air Conditioning, & Electrical — Follow-up cancellation after negative review posted: customer reported that after leaving a critical review about scheduling, a technician who texted he was en route was then cancelled
  • Rooter-Man Plumbing Austin TX — Tankless water heater part flagged as known-defective by another plumber; Rooter-Man wanted $300 to install each replacement.
  • Stan's Heating, Air, Plumbing & Electrical — Warranty work caused secondary damage — techs forgot to glue condensation tubes, causing a second ceiling leak the same day; weeks of insurance/reimbursement requests ignored per one reviewer.
  • Stan's Heating, Air, Plumbing & Electrical — Property-manager workflow described as gated by 'unnecessary owner authorization' and upfront-payment demands after prior approvals.
  • Fox Service Company — Two of three newly-installed HVAC systems had gas leaks; one had been leaking over a week before the homeowner caught it during Christmas decoration setup.
  • Fox Service Company — Quote inflation pattern documented: $1,600 quoted for a Pressure Reducing Valve that another company did at significantly lower cost.

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Del Valle we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 1,583 reviews across 15 businesses.
  2. Patterns beat anecdotes. A plumber moves up when independent reviewers keep describing the same behavior: showing up when promised, quoting before working, work that holds. One rave changes nothing.
  3. Complaints count double when they repeat.Surprise fees, missed appointments, pressure sales — when the same complaint appears across reviewers (or across platforms), it caps how high we'll rank a business regardless of its star average.
  4. Money never moves the ranking.A plumber can buy the clearly-labeled sponsored slot at the top of the page — visibility, not endorsement. A business we wouldn't recommend can't buy the slot at all, and no payment changes the ranked order.
  5. Our take is our opinion.It's grounded in the reviews we quote and count on this page — check our evidence and disagree with us if you like. That's the point of showing it.
Every quotation on this page is reproduced verbatimfrom a publicly posted review and attributed to its author, star rating, platform and date. Star averages and review counts are Google's (or Yelp's) as of our last data pull. “Rating mix” charts describe only the set of reviews we analyzed, which we state on every card.
