"Plumber charged a lot to hack up my house to fix a leaking pipe behind the dishwasher. He didn't hook up the dishwasher drain line correctly and it leaked. Had to fix myself. They used a scrap pipe instead of the proper $2 part. They wanted to charge me a service fee to come out and fix their problem. I would give zero stars if I could. Over $2200 for bad work. Avoid these guys!"

With a name like Dallas Plumbing Company, you may not think of us as air conditioning and heating experts, too. Fact is, in addition to our award-winning plumbing service since 1903, we are also one of the top licensed commercial and residential Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Contractors in the Dallas - Fort Worth area. That simply means we know plumbing, air conditioning and heating and we do it right. Our goal is to earn your trust and keep you as a valued customer from now on. And, we back it up with our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Look to us for all your plumbing needs, and let us provide a free estimate on any new heating and cooling equipment you are planning to purchase. If your system needs cleaning or repairing, we can service all makes and models.

"We needed a shower head swapped from one bathroom to another and scheduled the work for the next day. We got call at 9:23am where they said we were next on the list. Then we got a call at 11:40am to say the plumber was on his way. At 12:25 we got a call from the plumber saying he'd be there in about 30 minutes. He spent about 15 minutes here to swap out the shower head. They charged a flat rate which we were not informed about until the plumber got here - it was $242. If we refused the work they would charge $131 for the trip charge. Again this was not communicated at the appointment scheduling. The plumber said that the company had been sold about 1 year ago and this is what it was now. We had used Dallas Plumbing for over 30 years; not anymore. The customer service is gone and they don't have any concept of small job pricing."

I’m Scott Riddell, the owner and founder of Riddell Plumbing, Inc. I was born and raised right here in Dallas, Texas. At the age of 19, I started working at a plumbing company. I almost immediately knew this is what I love and live for. In 1987, I started with one truck and my garage. Here we are, 26 years down the road and I am very proud to say my company has grown into one of the largest and best plumbing companies in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. I give every task my all and I can promise you that you will never receive less than 100% from me or my employees. I still go out in the field every day to check on jobs, meet our customers, and make sure everyone is satisfied with my work ethics. This company was built on a lot of hard work, honesty, and quality. We treat every single job as if it is our own, and we always thrive for perfection, and satisfaction!

"Although this company is very courteous and employees are professional, they lack any common sense and will cost you time and money. I have used this company a few times now and this seems to be a consistent issue. The first time, they installed a leak defense system in the middle of my yard and placed a plastic rock on top, which looked obvious and terrible. In addition to paying the initial fee for install, I had to pay an additional $500 for them to come back out and reinstall it against the wall. Today, I had them come install pop-ups for some of my sinks and they didn’t check to see if the pop-ups had all parts before installing so I had to pay for removal of old drain, install of defective new drain and then reinstall of old drain. They offered no apology or discount so I ended up paying for 1.5 hours of work for NOTHING. I would not recommend this company."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

For homes with a septic tank, harsh chemicals like those found in drain cleaner or bleach aren’t recommended. Some chemical drain cleaners can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the septic tank or damage your pipes. For homes with a septic tank, you can choose drain cleaners specifically formulated for use with septic tanks or go with a drain snake. When in doubt, make sure you know who to call for a clogged drain

A septic system inspection costs $100 to $200. Doing so can spot issues early so you can plan for necessary repairs ahead of time and save yourself the issue of a backed-up septic tank. Some septic tank repair professionals do an inspection as part of their yearly maintenance on your septic tank if you choose to pay for that service, but you should shoot to have a septic system inspection completed at least once every two to five years.

Yes, a bigger well pump can increase water pressure—up to a point. If you currently have a well pump of 8 GPM, you might notice a pressure boost when you go up to 10 GPM. However, overshooting significantly (going up to 15 GPM for an 8 GPM home) can strain your well system and result in things like burst pipes that can decrease your water pressure and make for costly repairs.

Wells should be at least 100 feet deep for drinking water, but they may need to be deeper depending on the local geology, water quality, and your household’s water usage. Work with a qualified well drilling professional who can assess the appropriate depth for your well and test the water before drinking it.

Adding a thin layer of dirt over a septic drain field is fine, especially if soil erosion has occurred. However, adding too much dirt can compact the soil, reducing the drain field’s ability to absorb and filter wastewater properly. Avoid using heavy clay soil, as it can prevent proper drainage. Instead, use a light layer of topsoil and plant grass to help with soil stability.
