Bryco Plumbing

BEST PLUMBER IN TOWN! I have used Bryco Plumbing at least half a dozen times in the past 2 years, and every time they are competent and fair!

I had Bryco come out to my house today to fix a leaky shower. I have had three other plumbing companies look at the shower and each told me that they had to get behind the tile which would require more effort and money. I called Bryco today (have used them once before and the experience was very positive) and they came out same day. They got right to work and were able to stop the leak without breaking through the tile. They were fast, efficient, and honest. Bryco will be my first phone call for any plumbing concerns in the future.

Really wanted to do it ourselves but epic fail that was. Kitchen sink was clogged and all our attempts at unclogging it failed. Hesitant about getting a plumber due to knowing they like to charge a pretty penny but after much hesitation we called. They said they wouldn't be available until the next day since we had called at 1pm then at 4:30 we get a call stating they'll be at our place in 15 minutes. Quote was 125 to come out and labor was included in that price. They came out and they were done in 30 minutes. They were friendly and got straight down to business. Overall price was 131.00. We were very happy campers, will recommend them to everyone we know. Thanks Woody n Angel!!

Went out a limb and used these guys after reading the reviews. Great experience today. The guys were quick to arrive, businesslike during the work, and friendly throughout. I'm recommending them to anyone needing a plumber.
As inexpensive as can be expected too. $125 plus a mere $10 for the part.

I called Bryco up due to the reviews posted....And I noticed a day too late that the "not recommended" reviews are on another link on Yelp and that could have helped me avoid them as the "Recommended"post are front and center. That part is my fault.

Rest of the story: I had a leak on the front yard that was starting to creep over to the neighbor's yard and SAWS washed their hands clean of the issue as it was on my side of the lawn. I called Bryco and one of the guys stated that they do a $100- p/h work on whatever , plus parts and a 15-minute (rounded up to 30) drive time. The plumbers did get there at the agreed time and did the inspection and it showed up that the RPV had a pin hole leak and flooding fast. The plumber on site said that the job will cost $450 straight up. As I stated that the leak was flooding fast, I had no choice to go ahead and proceed. I asked about the whole $100.00 thing that just became a non-issue and he said that the type of issue is what is quoted for.

One thing that motivated me to give one star (I would give Zero) is that my original tube was copper from the SAWS meter to the RPV and after the repair, I saw that the middle section was PVC (not as durable, so this may be another headache in the near future). I asked them if that was PVC, he said it was "Section 85"...never heard of that , but section 80 is....Cue up fanfare---PVC!!!

They were at my house exactly 1 hour. So I estimate that it is about $150, for service and drive time + say $150 for RPV (way over priced) and say another $50 for a ball valve and PVC pipe...so say $350-ish.

I called the next day and spoke with "Shawn" to see if I could get a break down of the price, to see what the $450 was all about, and if anything can be done... and he said he will let me know. I won't hold my breath either.

In all, another fall to the old "hook and reel" gig.


STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS!!!!

UPDATE**** UPDATE ****UPDATE.-8/12

I just wanted to comment that a wrong has been corrected, from a previous experience / post with Bryco.
Yesterday I went to my mailbox and I was more than surprised to find a envelope from Bryco plumbing. I thought it was going to be a survey or something, but I am glad that I do not give into rapid impulses and rip it up, because I would have torn up a check to offset the cost of what I was charged with before.
I will say that they have set things right and earned a second chance.

Four stars overall.

I opened an account on Yelp just so I can write a review on Bryco. I am thoroughly impressed.

I had water seeping through my laminate wood floor and it was a huge mystery to me. I contacted Beyer Boys, instead of my usual Aramendia (whom I will never contact either again.) Beyer Boys said first they had to fix my barely leaking shower faucet for $179 to figure out the rest of the problem. Afterward, they needed to run a test which would cost at least $500 and tear up my walls and floors which was an undetermined price. I said thanks, let me weigh my options.

I googled "good plumber san antonio" and came across the Yelp reviews for Bryco. I was pretty impressed from what I read so I gave them a shout. Woody and Garrett showed up and immediately went to work - turning things off and on, going into my attic, etc., - a way more thorough and professional start than what I experienced with Beyer.

Bryco charged me $25 for the shower faucet - yes, you read that right - $25 for the same exact thing that Beyer was going to charge $179 for. Bryco was able to pinpoint the location of the leak behind the wall and fixed it within a few hours with very minimal demolition. They charge by the hour, so total I paid $344, way less than the potential $1000's that Beyer wanted to charge, and for all the work to be completed, rather than $500 for only running a test. They even didn't charge the full time they were there. They explained everything they were doing and gave me tips and recommendations.

Again, a true thorough impression. I am only upset that I didn't use them for all of my plumbing problems.

I used Aramendia a while ago, they stopped in the middle of a job, and told me they had to charge an extra $400 to continue. Now that I've studied the law I know they can't do that legally. Trust me on this - do not use Aramendia or Beyer, use Bryco. You will not regret it.

I found Bryco through Yelp and I couldn't have been more satisfied! The 2 men who came were on time, friendly, provided quality service and the price was very reasonable. Thank all of you who shared your positive reviews, I will continue to
use Bryco Plumbing for any of my future needs.

First time I used Bryco after seeing all the great reviews here. I had no hot water to my shower, everywhere else my hot water was ok. Turns out it was some mechanism that prevent folks from burning themselves from too hot water; the setting was set to low. Reasonable price for the service/diagnostic. I would have given them 5 stars if I could have been known a better time window for them to arrive. It sucks when you have to take off work to wait on service repair stuff but that's due for the course. Keep up the great work!

I did not use this company. I called to obtain an estimate and was told there would be at least $125 charge without any repair work. I would recommend that Bryco should offer an estimate at no cost if work will be completed by their plumbers.

Called in the morning for a clogged drain and asked if they could help, I was told NO. Odd, I thought this was a plumbing company??
