What sets Advantage Drainage apart? We solely provide drain service and have made it our specialty for the last 37+ years. Drainage is an unregulated business, this means that anyone— landscapers, plumbers, or sprinkler companies— can put a pipe in the ground and call it drainage. This becomes risky for the consumer. However, Advantage Drainage customers throughout Dallas and Fort Worth, know that our drain solutions stand apart as time-tested and proven. A large percentage of our business consists of redoing drainage work attempted by landscapers and sprinkler companies. Save yourself time, money, and frustration by contacting our team of experts to do the job right the first time. Advantage Drainage solutions integrate multiple layers of protection to stop flooding now and in the future. We have the specialized tools and equipment to deal with North Texas soils. We can access hard to reach areas— below ground level, preconstruction sites, underneath landscapes or buildings— to stop basement flooding, standing water, blocked drainage, etc., at its source. Our combination of experience, ingenuity, and specialized training cannot be beat. Let Advantage Drainage help you today! Please provide your phone number and address in the message center for the fastest response. Thank you!

"A foundation repair company wanted $6,000 to install a French drain that they were planning to have pop out in the middle of my side yard. Advantage showed up on time, put in a first-class French drain that exited further (at the drainage at my property boundary) for $2,650. We had record rains today. During the rain I went out and checked. The French drain was working like a champ!"

"The insulation was blown in place and upon completion I took a look from one of my attic access ladders to confirm the installation and wrote a check. Two days later I took a look from my other attic access ladder and discovered that 2 of the supports for my roof ridge board had ben broken in half! No one else had been in the attic except the Climate Doctors crew. I informed them of the damage and the owner, Paul Boyd came over , viewed the damage and took pictures. He said he would contact me in 24 hours. He did not. I have called daily for 3 days and nobody has returned my calls. I was not informed by the crew of the damage they caused and when I showed it to the company owner he did nothing and did not even apologize for causing this potentially dangerous situation. I think this behavior is irresponsible and unprofessional and now will need to repaired at additional expense. I strongly do not recommend them!"

At Reliant Plumbing, our mission goes beyond simply fixing pipes and unclogging drains. As long-standing members of the Austin, San Antonio, Waco, and Dallas communities, we understand the impact that quality plumbing services have on daily life. Our dedication to our neighbors drives us to deliver the highest standard of plumbing repairs and services. We know the local environment and plumbing challenges unique to our area, and this knowledge equips us to provide solutions that are not only effective but lasting. Reliant Plumbing is your local Central Texas plumbing company. We live and work in the greater Dallas and Fort Worth areas, where we offer all plumbing services. We pride ourselves on understanding the unique plumbing needs that come with living in this area. We are committed to providing only the highest quality plumbing repairs, and vow to provide exceptional customer service. We believe in keeping this promise to each and every customer and that's why we guarantee our work. We describe our business as Family owned and operated

"Tyler Perry at Reliant Plumbing – My Aqua Man Hero! I had never heard of Reliant Plumbing before my search, but their 24/7 availability and same-day service promise caught my attention—and wow, did they deliver! From the moment Tyler Perry arrived, I knew I was in good hands. Water line repairs can be overwhelming, but Tyler’s approach was nothing short of exceptional. He took his time to thoroughly explain all three repair options, ensuring I understood every detail. His patience and clarity turned a stressful situation into an informed decision, and he was incredibly mindful of the financial impact, presenting payment options that truly eased my anxiety. Beyond his technical skills, Tyler showed a level of care and professionalism that’s rare. He was prompt, courteous, and even returned later to complete a complimentary service to help resolve my ongoing water leak dilemma. His commitment to going the extra mile speaks volumes about both his character and Reliant Plumbing’s integrity. And as a self-made handylady, I loved that he let me tinker around in the mud and the hole to learn more about the process firsthand! Not many pros would welcome that, but Tyler embraced it, making the entire experience feel collaborative rather than just another service call. If you’re looking for a plumber who combines expertise, compassion, and top-tier service, look no further. Tyler Perry at Reliant Plumbing is the real deal—my Aqua Man hero!"

We also don’t charge extra for service on nights or weekends. Work with a team that is dedicated to treating you like family.

"Here's a more refined, less repetitive version that maintains the same level of frustration and negativity: WARNING: Read Before Hiring Xtreme Air Services If you're considering Xtreme Air Services, take a moment to read this--there's a treat at the end. Surprise, surprise... yet another negative review. Let's start with Eddy O., the so-called "General Manager." Our Experience Eddy made it clear that Xtreme Air Services "wouldn't be able to help us" if we posted negative reviews about their incompetence, despite the fact that they improperly installed our unit, left us with a potential fire hazard, and disabled one of our heat coils (without our consent). Screenshot attached. After leaving us with a heater that doesn't function properly in winter, their solution? Pay thousands more if we want them to "help." Comical. So, in order to get the service we already paid for, we have to stay quiet? Oops. A Few Key Points: 1. Threatening not to help the customer with an issue you created? That's just ignorant. Zero integrity. 2. Why would we pay more to an unprofessional company that sends unqualified, non-bonded, non-insured workers to botch an installation? Rude, unaccountable, and incompetent from top to bottom. 3. This experience makes spending our money elsewhere EASY. The CEO is an imbecile. We paid over $12K for a unit that now operates on half power because the breaker they installed can't handle it. A professional company would've caught this--Xtreme Air Services didn't. Even their own seventh technician admitted, within seconds, that it was installed incorrectly. Still not convinced? Let's Talk Fire Hazards Both the Xtreme Air Services technician AND a third-party electrician confirmed our system was a fire hazard. Eddy (who is not a licensed electrician) claimed it wasn't because "that's why the breaker trips." That's not how fire hazards work, Eddy. This system was installed in the summer. Clearly, not one of the seven techs they sent even tested the heating function beyond a few moments. Fast forward to winter--our heater trips the breaker after 5-10 minutes, sometimes running inconsistently (aka, a fire hazard). Xtreme Air's Response? * No accountability. * No apology. * Just more incompetence from "General Manager" Eddy, a pompous clown who lacks both professionalism and basic customer service skills. Instead of addressing their negligence, he condescended, interrupted, and dismissed legitimate concerns. He even had the audacity to tell me we "don't have that many cold days in Texas." What does that have to do with selling and installing a properly functioning heating system? The real kicker? Their own sales team KNEW this system wouldn't work. They either failed to test it or outright lied. Either way, we now have a fire hazard and an unusable heater unless we fork over an additional $2,500-$3,000. Xtreme Air Services is an unprofessional, dishonest company that cuts corners and are a JOKE professionally."

Plumbing and heating services FAQs

The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.

The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.

Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
