patiently responded to multiple emails after-hours and addressed all my concerns. I sent him a few photos of the old water heater from my iPhone and he gave me a quote. As a busy professional, I appreciated the ability to arrange everything without the need to take time away from the office. On the day of installation, everything went smoothly. Gilbert arrived early. He worked with purpose throughout the job. I had several questions as a new homeowner and Gilbert helped to educate me on the basic plumbing features of my home and showed me how to operate and drain the heater. In addition, he explored my attic and climbed onto the roof to diagnose and fix a leak he noticed around the water heater exhaust pipe, from the original construction of the home. We requested the permit inspection a few days later. The inspector actually goofed, went to the wrong address, and planned to reschedule for another day. Luckily, Gilbert managed to persuade him to accommodate me on the same day, which helped me avoid another morning away from the office. The inspector found no issues. Fast forward to Monday, September 16, I experienced a plumbing emergency that had nothing to do with the water heater Gilbert installed. I noticed raw sewage overflowing from the cleanout pipe, in the right-of-way, outside my fence line. Let me repeat, raw sewage. I was stressed out. I sent Gilbert a photo and asked for his help. He called me and advised I immediately phone the City to report the problem. The City responded quickly with a crew of four workers and heavy equipment. They found a blockage in the sewer line and addressed the problem. Again, this issue was totally unrelated to the water heater installation, yet he was more than willing to help me. Great, but the next night, my garage smelled like a sewer. I traced the stench to the washing machine drain and sent Gilbert a panicked email at 8:13p. He replied the same night at 11:12p with detailed instructions. Are you kidding me? I didn’t expect to hear from him until the next day. He gave me the information necessary to diagnose and fix the problem. Gilbert is awesome. I can’t say enough about his responsiveness and customer service. It’s such a relief to find a skilled tradesman who takes pride in his craft and is reliable, capable, accessible, and goes the extra-mile. I recommend him to my family and friends without hesitation. The next time you need a plumber, look no further.

Rick brought Joe in to consult about relocating a flue pipe from my old water heaters that I wanted to bring up to code and when we started doing the math it made more sense (with the rebates and federal tax credit) to install a new tankless system. I also discovered while I was contemplating the new system that my yard line was leaking under the house. Joe replaced the old galvanized pipe and fixed the leak. Both projects were labor intensive and Joe even waited for the city inspector on my behalf when I could not be home to meet with them for the inspection. He really went above and beyond on this job and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a good, honest plumber. I wouldn't hesitate to call Joe again for any plumbing job, large or small.

I got home 20 minutes later Wayne already took all the pipes out under the kitchen sink, then I started to ask him questions if I want to replace my kitchen sink would it damage the laminated counter top and Wayne said it will not. So from one thing lead to another the scope of work rolled into a big snow ball. Any way Wayne was nice enough to put his half finished work on hold for two days while i go buy a new kitchen sink, lavatory faucet and pop up for tub and lavatory, so he can come back in two days to finish his new scope of work. Wayne also helped me clean up some stubborn stains that I couldn't get it out around the sink, tub and toilet, extra bonus work from him. He also gave me a new custom 10% discount and one year parts and labor warranty. It's hard to find some one likes his work so much that will whistle while he works.

I found S&D because I called around and other plumbers told me if I needed excavation work, call S&D. My impression is that they hire craftsmen who know how to do it right. My only complaint is when they fixed the drain pipe in the yard, they started on the job before I arrived home. I needed to take pictures to document that the landscaper had damaged the pipe. They put the drain pipe back in place and I snapped the pictures. I would have preferred they wait; however I did not tell them that I needed the pictures, so it was an honest mistake."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/taylor/s-and-d-plumbing-reviews-394389.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"A & H Services Inc","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"TX","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Brian C."},"reviewBody":"I called in the afternoon and made an appointment for the following morning.

The only termostat that he had was a older and cheaper model (he was going to charge $100) that did not cover the space the old unit took up on the wall and I was not interested in repainting so I made the decision to buy one on amazon. The rep was very friendly and showed me how to replace it when the new one arrived. I ended up buying a great touch screen model on Amazon for $65, it arrived the next day, and I was able to install in 5 minutes. Overall a good experience and I will definitely use A&H again.

"I can’t say enough about Ryan Stegent Plumbing!!! As with any home service, one expects courtesy and care for one’s property. From the first contact to project completion, Ryan was a consummate professional. Ryan and I were in continuous communication related to the job. He was very responsive to questions and flexible to my schedule. When he got to my house, he had everything he needed to do the job and did exactly what I asked him to do. No negotiating an easier path. I really appreciated that. When all was said and done, Ryan had done a superb, professional job despite the heat in the attic (over 120 deg F). If one can do a professional job under difficult conditions, I’d trust him to do any work on my house. I would hire this guy in a second for any future plumbing job. Oh, it was also a nice touch that he charged what he said he would."

FAQs for drain pipe installation projects in Hearne, TX
The regulations around whether drain pipe installers need to hold licenses or certifications differ based on where you live and the type of drain pipe installed. Municipalities have varying rules and regulations about who can and can’t perform plumbing work. However, we recommend hiring a certified plumber to install or modify your drain lines. Licensed plumbers will perform a high-quality, professional installation, which translates to a lower risk of clogs and leaks in the future. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm the license status of your potential plumber before hiring them to install your drain pipe.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Plumbers will typically take one to two hours to install a new drain pipe, but that timeline can vary based on the area’s accessibility, the drain length, and the type of drain line. Replacing an easily accessible p-trap under a sink could take as little as a half an hour, while replacing a larger section of drain line behind the wall could take as long as three to four hours. When hiring a plumber for your specific installation, ask them to provide an estimated timeline to get a more accurate assessment.
You might need a permit to modify or repair any portion of your plumbing system, including drainage lines, depending on where you live. In some areas, simple replacements of existing drain lines don’t require a permit. We recommend asking your drain pipe installer or your local building department about permitting requirements. In many cases, only certified plumbers can pull plumbing permits, so you’ll usually need to leave the permit application to your professional. The fee for the permit will be passed to you on your project bill, though.
We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
