Enoch Electric, Water, & Air, is an electrical, plumbing, & HVAC contracting company passionate about providing the best value and service in the industry. The company was founded by a DFW native engineer and real estate investor who became disenchanted by the lack of morality in the construction industry and decided the only way to combat it is to participate. We are professionals with over 30 years of experience that specialize in both residential and commercial electrical work. Give us a call today and allow us to earn your trust!

"We spent 14K on two new AC units for our house in 2021. We had to get the technicians out almost every year and multiples a year because something is always wrong. Some technicians were not experienced enough to diagnose the problem and wasted hours at our house. They also made careless mistakes (not connecting the draining pipe back in the attack) in Aug 2025. We had to run very loud fans for 5 days just to dry the water leak from the attic to our ceiling. The same technician was sent out in Nov 2025 and made the same mistake again. Now our ceiling is leaking again. The customer service did not even acknowledge or apologize for what we are going through. I am now worried that repeated leak may have caused permanent damage to our house. I do not recommend this company."

"Called and they sent out someone to unclog a simple tub drain, he came out got upset because some device had broke. Told me it would cost $318. To unclog. To no avail. Then he said they would have to replace my pipes and tear up my house which would cost over $3000 to repair. He took my $318. And told me it would go towards the repairs. I got a second opinion and they were able to unclog my tub drain for $420. And it?s working great WITHOUT having to tear up my house. I?ll probably never see the $318. They took for nothing. That?s taking advantage of people, 101. "

"At first the company seemed super helpful. Eric was always pleasant and seemed to be supporting us. HOWEVER, they told us that they were dealing directly with insurance and that we wouldn't need to worry about anything. Therefore no costs, no options, no explanations of services were ever given to us. When the bill came back higher than insurance would cover they assured us that Joyce was the best in the business and would get it taken care of for us. the gap ended up being $3000 out of our pocket and as far as I can tell, no genuine effort was made to come to an agreement because we would have to pay it anyway. They were not actually working for us. In addition, the whole process was frustrating because appointments were made with us, where we canceled plans and they never showed or called. They removed equipment before it was dry and then covered themselves by putting it back in. At the end of the day our house is dry as is our bank account. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!"

We are a Family Owned and operated business and have been in business for over 20 years. Cathy and I have been married for 17 years and we have one daughter, Emma Grace, age 11. Cathy is currently the Children's Director at our church and also helps with our office staff and management. Emma Grace is a great encourager to me and loves seeing Daddy's before and after pictures of jobs we do everyday. As the owner/operator of the company, I assure you that you will receive the best in customer service. I never sub contract my work out to others. I promise if you choose us we will provide you with best quality of service at a fair price. We will not always be the cheapest, but we will provide the best cleaning while protecting your property and being respectful of your time.

"This is a mixed review, but I would hire again. Doug is very knowledgeable and pleasant, everyone I dealt with at the company is very polite, they did a great job getting rid of the black algae, workers were prompt and courteous. However, at the outset I mentioned the one negative review where a customer stated that his plants were killed. I inquired about precautions and was assured that this must have occurred with a roof cleaning where they use a stronger solution and leave it on, and a light misty rain following the application could wash the strong solution down on the plants. Since a much weaker solution would be used on my brick and stucco siding, and it would be washed off promptly, and they would use multiple equally mild applications washed off promptly each time until the algae was gone, there is no way my plants would be damaged, they assured me. Well, actually almost every plant that had contact with the solution had severe leaf burn from the cleaning solution. The company was very apologetic and said they had no idea why this happened, and tried to make it right by coming out to apply a complementary foliar feeding to help the plants recover. I appreciate that, and hopefully I will not lose any of the plants, but they are very unsightly right now with all the damaged foliage. It is fortunate that I was having the pressure washing done in preparation for an exterior paint job, and not for a party at my house! I had watered the roots in well prior to the pressure washing, since I saw that tip online for pressure washing in general, but this did not prevent damage to the leaves. So if you have expensive landscaping you might ask what other measures can be taken to protect your plants. The other issue I had was due to ignorance on my part. I thought that pressure washing would brighten the brick porch floor and the stone surrounding the pool. I was surprised to see that there was still a white haze after the pressure washing. It turns out that this haze was due to calcium deposits from twenty years of watering plants, just like the white haze you might have on brick siding from the sprinkler system. Pressure washing with a bleach solution does not help to remove calcium deposits, so that is why there was not any improvement in the appearance after the pressure washing. I did not know that, and it had not been mentioned to me ahead of time that perhaps my problem was mineral deposits rather than something that could be removed with a bleach and detergent solution. The company did come out promptly to take a look, and explained that pressure washing cannot be expected to help with the haze from mineral deposits. I looked this up online and brick masons use an acid solution to clean brick and remove calcium deposits, but it is easy to damage the brick if the solution is too strong. On a different issue, I have left the mud daubers alone over the years since they eat black widow spiders, which we do have in abundance in our yard, but their nests need to be removed if you are repainting. The company offers hand scrubbing for removal of mud dauber nests and stain, but it is very labor intensive and thus rather expensive. My husband decided to do the hand scrubbing himself, so we did not utilize that service."

"Technician looked at control pressed the liter button and the burner lite. He then wiped his hand over one of the side vents and said that could have been the problem...did not vacuum off the vents. Nothing wrong with control valve. Charged me $150 for lilting the heater. When I questioned the charge, he said that was a discounted charge. Never gave me an estimate for what the work cost...because nothing was wrong with heater. Talked with their manager and got the story about how much it cost to run the business. They offered to take $25 off bill. Their service assessment is $49...would have considered that to have been fair because that's all he really did.

"Ronnie is excellent. He did need to come to my house more than once to get a handle on a hard-to-locate leak, but this is what he did on one of those visits: I had had very low water pressure for 18 months, following the freeze last year in February, and I had just never gotten around to taking care of it. Another company (large chain) had installed a new water heater 2-3 months before the leak discovery; at that time I mentioned the low water pressure problem at least 20 times but no one paid any real attention. When I called them back for an estimate on the leak repair, they convinced me that, with the low pressure and the leak, my house just needed to be re-piped and quoted me $8,000 - not including the sheetrock repairs that would be necessary. Thank heavens I decided to get a second opinion. Ronnie took a walk around the house and checked the gateway shutoff valve that I had used to turn the water off and then back on after the freeze. I had simply neglected to open it all the way - hands probably not strong enough. He then came back to locate and repair a very messy, hard-to-reach hot water leak for under $1400. The way I see it, his competence, his real interest in solving problems the simplest way, and his honesty saved me about $8,500."

Sewer Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Some experts estimate that descaling your cast iron pipes can extend their lifetime by upwards of 50 years, although there’s not a lot of research to prove it. But we do know that without proper maintenance, cast iron pipes can quickly rust—leading to more expensive issues like burst pipes or main line clogs.

Cat pee has a strong ammonia-like smell, so if you smell cat pee but don’t have a cat or don’t suspect your cat has any accidents, there could be other issues at hand. Aside from pet urine, your house may smell like cat pee from leaking freon from an old fridge, mold, spilled cleaning supplies, or even outside odors from nearby farms.

In most cases, drain cleaners will not clear a clogged sewer line, and they’re likely to damage your plumbing. Sewer lines are several inches wide, meaning any material that clogs it will need to be large. Drain cleaner can work on small clogs, but it usually won’t clear a larger one in a sewer main. Drain cleaners can also easily damage and corrode your plumbing with prolonged contact, and a clog will keep the cleaner in contact with the pipes for an extended period. Hire a professional sewer cleaner instead for a safe fix.

Knowing the signs can alert you to a clogged drain line. Clogs cause slow drainage or cause no drainage (if there’s a complete blockage). You may also notice foul odors, gurgling noises, water backing up in other appliances on the same line, or a poorly flushing toilet. If you experience any of these issues and think your line might be clogged, call a plumber.

Black Friday, also known as the day after Thanksgiving, is one of the busiest days of the year for plumbers. Plumbing pros receive many service requests for clogged drains, garbage disposal issues, and clogged sewer lines. Don’t hesitate to call a plumber on Black Friday if you experience emergency plumbing problems.
