The 15 plumbers serving Schwertner, ranked.

For the 21 plumbers working within 20 miles of Schwertner, we read 1,138 public reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB and ranked them like a friend who'd done the research. The number that matters most here: only 8 of the 21 list 24-hour service — if it's the middle of the night, start with those. Rankings are not for sale.

Ratings run high here (median 4.9, 2 below 4.0), but the depth behind them varies: 11 companies carry 100+ reviews while others have a few dozen, which we treat as thinner evidence and say so on their cards. Where reviewers repeat a specific complaint — 16 of the 21 companies have one — it's flagged below with their exact words. One number worth knowing: Plumbing Outfitters alone carries 1,444 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.

Updated Jul 11, 202620-mile radius of downtown SchwertnerHow we rank
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: 957 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 ↓

Why we're cautious

  • Billing surprises on emergency calls: two separate reviews (2/25 and 11/21) report final invoices exceeding initial quotes substantially ($75-575 overages), though both customers acknowledged urgency premium may apply (2 of 137 reviews)
  • Pricing significantly above market in some jobs: $600 for shower cartridge (1 hour) at $450 labor rate, and $575 quote vs. $500 actually charged when initial estimate was $300-500 (2 of 137 reviews)
  • Supply-chain delays on complex jobs: one reviewer noted technician had to visit supply store twice during a job, adding hours to completion time (1 of 137 reviews)

To be fair

  • Emergency responsiveness: owner texts on holiday weekends, schedules same-day or next-day appointments, calls to confirm morning-of (cited in 3 of 137 reviews)
  • Consistent professionalism across technicians (Jason, Steven, Logan, Xavier, Hunter named individually): arrive on time, explain work clearly, clean up thoroughly (cited in 5 of 137 reviews)
  • No hard-sell tactics: 5 reviewers explicitly praise honesty about pricing and work needed, avoiding upsells even when more expensive options available (cited in 3 of 137 reviews)

Small sample — we've analyzed only 5 of 177 reviews so far. Treat this as a first read.

Why we're cautious

  • Minimal review volume (5 reviews total) and zero Yelp presence limits statistical confidence in service consistency (5 of 5 reviews)

To be fair

  • Exceptional emergency responsiveness: 90-minute arrival on Friday evening flood, same-day service for urgent backflow crack, Saturday lunch arrival for weekend sewer backup (cited in 3 of 5 reviews)
  • Honest diagnostics without upselling: one reviewer explicitly notes plumber 'explained exactly what failed and why without trying to upsell me on a bunch of extras' (cited in 1 of 5 reviews)
  • Fair after-hours pricing: multiple reviews praise fairness despite emergency/weekend calls (cited in 2 of 5 reviews)

Walker Plumbing Co Inc

Top pick
4.9 (69 Google reviews) 8.5 mi from downtown SchwertnerNot a 24/7 shop
Our take — how we form it

Arrives within an hour for emergencies and charges 60% less than competitors, but one recent review reports a cleaning service that failed within 2 months.

Rating mix — of the 15 reviews we analyzed69 total on Google
5★14
4★0
3★0
2★0
1★1

Why we're cautious

  • Single 1-star review alleging service failure and charging for work that didn't hold; insufficient pattern data but warrants caution on drainage/cleaning services (1 of 66 reviews)
  • One recent review (Sept 2025) reports a gooseneck cleaning service that drained properly for only 2 months before failing completely, resulting in no-drain condition and $190 charge (1 of 66 reviews)
  • One reviewer noted a 2-day wait for non-emergency service due to workload, which could be problematic for time-sensitive repairs (1 of 66 reviews)

To be fair

  • Exceptional emergency response times, with multiple reviewers reporting arrival within 20 minutes to 2 hours during urgent situations like burst water heaters and flooding (cited in 4 of 66 reviews)
  • Dramatically undercuts competitor pricing—one reviewer received a $1,200 quote elsewhere and paid only $400 with Walker, with multiple mentions of 'reasonable' and 'affordable' pricing (cited in 4 of 66 reviews)
  • Named technicians (Noah, Payton, Jeremy, Terry, Nathan) consistently praised for politeness, honesty, and willingness to go above and beyond, including free diagnostics and helping non-customers (cited in 5 of 66 reviews)
What reviewers praise

4.9 (559 Google reviews)4.2 on Yelp (43) 15.0 mi from downtown SchwertnerNot a 24/7 shop
Our take — how we form it

They'll show up fast and fix it right, but a handful of customers felt blindsided by unexpected charges on complex jobs like tankless water heaters.

Rating mix — of the 15 reviews we analyzed559 total on Google
5★9
4★0
3★1
2★1
1★4

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

Why we're cautious

  • Poor follow-up and customer service recovery on disputed work—one 2017 review documents the supervisor refusing to discuss customer concerns and later deflecting blame, indicating potential accountability gaps when complaints arise (1 of 129 reviews)
  • Yelp shows 4.2/5 vs. Google's 4.9/5—a 0.7-star gap suggests negative experiences are underrepresented on Google; Yelp reviews include two 1-star and one 2-star billing/service quality complaints absent from sampled Google reviews (3 of 129 reviews)
  • Significant cost overruns on complex/specialty equipment—two reviews detail experiencing unanticipated charges: one customer charged $600 total for a failed tankless water heater diagnosis followed by $750+ recommendation, another felt 'fleeced' by high diagnostic and repair costs that seemed disproportionate to the work (2 of 129 reviews)

To be fair

  • Exceptional same-day and rapid response times—multiple reviewers report calls answered immediately and technicians arriving within 1-2 hours, even on weekends and holidays (cited in 6 of 129 reviews)
  • Consistent workmanship quality—reviewers praise attention to detail, professional conduct, and thorough testing to ensure problems are fully resolved (cited in 4 of 129 reviews)
  • Strong customer service team—multiple mentions of friendly, courteous office staff and field technicians who listen to customer preferences and avoid high-pressure upselling (cited in 4 of 129 reviews)

Why we're cautious

  • One documented case of significantly overpriced quote on water heater replacement ($3,200 vs. historical $1,000 rate), though customer deferred to get comparison—suggests pricing may spike during perceived urgency (1 of 92 reviews)
  • Significant pricing concerns on major jobs: one reviewer paid $3,500 for work requiring a second plumber, another received $3,200 quote for water heater replacement (3x competitor rate), though transparent pricing mentioned by multiple reviewers (3 of 92 reviews)

To be fair

  • Exceptional emergency responsiveness: same-day appointments and arrival within an hour during business hours, with documented next-day service for critical breaks (cited in 2 of 92 reviews)
  • Diagnostic expertise and transparency: 8+ reviews highlight thorough explanations, fiber optic camera inspection, and detailed photo documentation of issues (cited in 4 of 92 reviews)

Rating mix — of the 15 reviews we analyzed93 total on Google
5★9
4★1
3★0
2★0
1★5

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

Why we're cautious

  • Installation quality control gap: Two detailed accounts of post-installation leaks with inadequate warranty follow-up suggest possible workmanship or inspection issues on major jobs, despite overall 89/100 workmanship dimension score (2 of 100 reviews)
  • Platform rating disparity: Google 4.9/5 (93 reviews, recent) vs. Yelp 3.3/5 (15 reviews, includes older complaints). The two 1-star reviews are from 2019 and appear on both platforms, suggesting potential age-related rating recovery rather than performance improvement
  • Serious water damage from installation work: Two identical 1-star reviews (2019) describe water heater installation that leaked within a month, resulting in mold growth, with claimed follow-up repair failing to resolve the issue a year later (2 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Exceptional emergency responsiveness: Multiple reviews cite same-day service, after-hours callbacks, and rapid arrival during urgent situations (sink failure at 11pm resolved by 9am; urinal fixed within 2 hours; water heater emergency completed in 3 hours from first call) (cited in 3 of 100 reviews)
  • Honest pricing and no unnecessary upselling: 5 reviewers explicitly mention fair costs, declining to push unneeded parts, and pricing significantly below competitors (cited in 5 of 100 reviews)
  • Thorough diagnostic work: Multiple reviewers praise detailed leak location efforts, camera inspections, and offering multiple repair options rather than rushing to most expensive solution (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)

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

Why we're cautious

  • Massive platform rating discrepancy: Google 4.8/5 (1351 reviews) vs. Yelp 2.3/5 (8 reviews). The two Yelp reviews detail billing shock ($12,850 quote), service avoidance, and inflated camera fees ($499), suggesting high-stakes jobs may trigger aggressive pricing or refusal patterns (2 of 102 reviews)
  • Answering service coordination failure: 1 Yelp reviewer reports answering service claimed they don't service the area despite company having an office there, and required 4-hour window with late arrival (call at 6:30pm for 2pm-6pm slot) (1 of 102 reviews)
  • Significant pricing markup: 2 reviewers report bids 3x higher than competitors or significantly inflated component costs (2 of 102 reviews)

To be fair

  • Exceptional emergency responsiveness: multiple reviewers report same-day or early-morning arrival for urgent issues like burst pipes and clogged main lines (cited in 2 of 102 reviews)
  • Thorough communication and explanation: 5 reviewers specifically praise technicians for explaining work in detail, showing camera footage, and asking if customers have questions (cited in 5 of 102 reviews)
  • Consistent technician quality: individual technicians (Esteban, Jason, Travis, Weston, Kyle) are repeatedly named as professional, knowledgeable, and courteous across multiple reviews (cited in 4 of 102 reviews)

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

Why we're cautious

  • Triple-charged a customer's credit card after also collecting a check; company acknowledged the error but did not reverse charges until the customer disputed with their card issuer after 12+ unreturned calls (1 of 100 reviews)
  • Billed 150% of quoted contract price, did not notify customer, then took 3+ weeks to attempt refund with no live callback available (1 of 100 reviews)
  • Gas-leak diagnostic charged $750 + additional $160 next day with no invoice or quote provided; reviewer was also quoted $1,800–$3,000 for a clogged pipe they ultimately cleared themselves (3 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Same-day emergency dispatch confirmed including Sunday sewer-line response within 2 hours (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)
  • Water heater replacements — same-day scheduling and thorough installation walkthrough cited in multiple 5-star accounts (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)
What reviewers praise
“We had an emergency plumbing issue with no hot water with relatives coming to visit right before Christmas. Reliant put us on the schedule for the same day and determined that our 20yr old water heater was heavily calcified and needed replacement. Roman …”

2.6 (69 Google reviews) 16.6 mi from downtown SchwertnerNot a 24/7 shop
Our take — how we form it

Selective about jobs, frequently misses appointments, and nearly impossible to reach—avoid at 2am unless they're your only option.

Small sample — we've analyzed only 5 of 69 reviews so far. Treat this as a first read.

Why we're cautious

  • 3 of 5 reviews report no-shows or extreme delays (24+ hours) on scheduled appointments (3 of 5 reviews)
  • 2 of 5 reviews describe complete communication breakdown (unanswered callbacks, no arrival notifications) (2 of 5 reviews)
  • Insurance refusal: company refused to work with insurance claims on second attempt, attempting to bill customer for inspection only (1 of 5 reviews)

To be fair

  • Capable of quality work when engaged: one reviewer reported three separate tickets fixed perfectly and quickly (cited in 1 of 5 reviews)
What reviewers praise
“These folks were contracted via my property management company. The entire process was easy despite having tech issues on my end. I had at least three different tickets which were fixed perfectly and quickly. What a great change of pace!”
Dawn Keegan · ★★★★★ · Google · May 2025
The most critical take we found
“My insurance filed for this company to assist twice. First time was decent, second time they state they don’t do anything with insurance tried to bill us to even come look them refused looking at anything on very basic problems. This took about 6 phone calls …”

What reviewers complain about in Schwertner

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

  • Sosa Plumbing Services — Billing surprises on emergency calls: two separate reviews (2/25 and 11/21) report final invoices exceeding initial quotes substantially ($75-575 overages), though both customers acknowledged urgency premium may apply
  • CTX Maximum Plumbing — Minimal review volume (5 reviews total) and zero Yelp presence limits statistical confidence in service consistency
  • Walker Plumbing Co Inc — Single 1-star review alleging service failure and charging for work that didn't hold; insufficient pattern data but warrants caution on drainage/cleaning services
  • Neighborhood Plumbing and Drain - Georgetown — Poor follow-up and customer service recovery on disputed work—one 2017 review documents the supervisor refusing to discuss customer concerns and later deflecting blame, indicating potential accountability gaps when complaints arise
  • Neighborhood Plumbing and Drain - Georgetown — Yelp shows 4.2/5 vs. Google's 4.9/5—a 0.7-star gap suggests negative experiences are underrepresented on Google; Yelp reviews include two 1-star and one 2-star billing/service quality complaints absent from sampled Google reviews
  • Roger's Plumbing Georgetown Plumber — One documented case of significantly overpriced quote on water heater replacement ($3,200 vs. historical $1,000 rate), though customer deferred to get comparison—suggests pricing may spike during perceived urgency
  • Mainstream Services Inc — Installation quality control gap: Two detailed accounts of post-installation leaks with inadequate warranty follow-up suggest possible workmanship or inspection issues on major jobs, despite overall 89/100 workmanship dimension score
  • Mainstream Services Inc — Platform rating disparity: Google 4.9/5 (93 reviews, recent) vs. Yelp 3.3/5 (15 reviews, includes older complaints). The two 1-star reviews are from 2019 and appear on both platforms, suggesting potential age-related rating recovery rather than performance improvement

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving Schwertner we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 957 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.
