Recommended Customer Reviews

Chambliss Plumbing was amazing for us. Ask anyone. They saved us when another company, Kore Plumbing, installed a defective sewer line, without a permit, twice. Chambliss came, videoed the lines (sewer lines were botched), and successfully made repairs. Chambliss also fixed the other code violations--all of which, by the way, the Alamo Heights city inspector overlooked--like the use of AC lines for water heater drains, lack of shutoff valves, loose supply lines, and other installations in non-compliance with installation guidelines. Chambliss was responsive, and cared! I learned from one of their plumbers that Chambliss pays for their plumbers to get extra education and certification, and are really part of "the solution." Cheap? No. Cultivating pride and integrity in their workers, fostering their education, and doing work with right way? Priceless.

I love this local, honest and family owned business! I got two separate estimates from different companies. Their estimate was extremely detailed and a lot more educated and honest than the other company. They didn't just want to do the work, they wanted it done right! They also called me about a small leak at the main, they could have just told me it was going to cost extra to fix and done it, but they suggested that I call the city, since it looked like it was on their side, so that I wouldn't have to pay for it.

We had our conventional water heater removed and replaced with a tankless system. We HIGHLY recommend Chambliss Plumbing. They are one of very few authorized plumbers in the SA area for the Rinnai brand tankless system. Their price estimate was the lowest (although this isn't an inexpensive system) and we were impressed with their customer reviews. The owner was very involved in explaining the work and his team performed professionally. We are VERY pleased with their services.

Very disappointed in Chambliss. I have used them on a few different jobs and have found that they are 1 very expensive and 2 do shotty work. Most recently I had a big leak in a yard faucet I had them install in my front yard. The work cost a little over $500 and looked very make shift. They had two steel stakes (different sizes) with very sharp edges sticking out of the ground and then taped the pipe to the stake. The tops of the stakes were very sharp and definitely a safety hazard and the pipe was not secure at all. Again, this looked very "make shift" and not a professional job. Fast forward 1 year and there is water leaking all over the yard from this faucet. I contacted Chambliss to see if this would be covered under any type of warranty and it is not. They told me they would send someone over to take a look at the job and no one ever showed up. I just had another plumber go out and repair the job at a cost of $232 and plumber showed me that this was due to shotty work. very disappointed here

I think this is the most honest plumber out there. Switched out my water softener and diagnosed another problem for a very fair cost. Will definitely use them in the future.

We had been having issues with one of the toilets in the house. About a year ago, Roto Rooter came on an emergency call to stop a leak on another toilet and while here, they changed the flapper in the master bathroom toilet. The flapper worked for a while but then started flushing on its own again. Husband replaced flapper with same results. Over the weekend, he tried once again, but the flush tube appeared to be cracked and the flushing became almost constant.
We read about Chambliss and since they are very close to us, we stopped by and scheduled an appointment. Kevin Chambliss came and fixed it with a 90 day warranty. He also did a few checks and suggested some repairs that should be done. One was the pressure regulator - we knew we had borderline too high pressure from last year when we had another plumber check for leaks. We will have him do these repairs.
Very professional, honest, and willing to take the time to explain things.

We finally decided to replace our old worn out carpet with wood flooring. We did our research and chose a company with very high ratings. They came in and put down some really nice floors.
I will not go into details here, but I will just say we had to have plumbing repairs for 3 huge mistakes the floor company made. We hired Chambliss for each of these repairs.
The first visit came a couple of weeks after the floors were done. They took off some of the sheet rock and found a nail in the right sink water line. They did a great job fixing it, and we thought everything was fine. Then during the Labor Day holiday another leak showed up. Can you say $$$$? They checked the original repair, and it was fine. They took out more sheet rock and found another nail in the left sink. They fixed this one also.
Prior to the sheet rock being repaired we found another nail. This was in the PVC drain pipe. Another call to Chambliss. When they came back, they found another nail in the same pipe, so we now had 2 nails in the PVC. Because of where the nails were, the job became complex. After getting some additional supplies that they did not carry on their truck, they fixed the problem.
So why not 5 stars? It was some small things. They should have spotted the nails in the PVC in searching for the leaks. Also, they should have had all the parts on their truck.
Will I use them again? Let me just say that they are on speed dial.

Very good high quality work. Not the cheapest plumber in town but you get what you pay for.

Mr. Kevin Chambliss and his team are our go-to group for my family's plumbing needs. Through, fair and reasonably priced, they go above and beyond to help the customer understand the appliances installed and how to operate and care for them. This is in contrast to other companies charging the same or more money for poorer quality work.

Extremely responsive and reliable. Our church has major plumbing issues and we can't afford to fix them all. Chambliss did what we needed to fix the current issues and gave us a sense of what was probably coming. We will definitely use them in future.
