Beneath The Slab... The Final Frontier... These are the voyages of our home-shaped spacecraft. At least, during the pandemic, that's how I've explained it to my kids. We're on a ship, we have limited ability to take shuttles to places, and only at great need. Our food is delivered via Underway Replenishment, and we're on patrol until further orders come in from Starfleet. Or something. Well, we had a minor problem in engineering. To the tune of 30 gallons an hour. The 3/4" pipe between our utility room and our guest bathroom had ruptured... under the slab. Enter Eric Stolle Plumbing and The Plumbinator. This amazing tag team of technical experts in the plumbing profession put us right, quickly and without the need to crack into our foundation. I cannot say enough about the timeliness, courtesy or professionalism of both of these companies, and how they exchanged information and expertise to take what might have been a much more extended (and expensive!) process and get it down to a couple of visits and a minimal disruption of water services. When we're telling the kids to pretend we're on a spaceship to make the quarantine more bearable, we kind of need to avoid as much, um, "life support" failure as possible. And these enterprising engineering entrepeneurs made sure the problem was fixed with as little of that as was practicable. My nightowl son pretty much slept through what little water disruption there was. Folks, if you spring a leak in your... umm... warp core... or something... you can't go far wrong than to employ either or both of these outfits to come put you right again. Mickey The Plumbinator helped us solve a massive issue when we were two weeks in as foster parents, and Eric from Eric Stolle Plumbing has handled issues for us for years as well. In this day and age, it's rare to find companies you can trust who will not steer you wrong. Both companies are dedicated to ensuring you have the best fix for the minimal price, they've got the kind of integrity that gives peace of mind when the rest of the world is going crazy. I'm grateful to these two companies for getting us back to where we needed to be, when home becomes office and schoolhouse, and we can't afford to be without the necessities of life in our little pretend spaceship. Now, off to the galley to feed the crew. Live Long and Prosper, and may the Force be with you! read more

Tried calling for a quote not only was he kind of an dick but he was way more expensive than others. dont waste your time on this douchebag

Eric is a LIFE SAVER! Our tankless water heater busted a coil while showering on a Tuesday night (not fun) - he was able to come out the next day to check it out. Rather than trying to upsell us on a whole new unit he was able to overnight parts to fix it. So grateful for his speedy service and saving us a ton of money! read more

had a major water leak in the front yard due to a tree root over three feet down . Eric was able to get on site quickly find the leak and get it fixed ! even the fixed part of my sprinkler I busted looking for the leak . all in all I can't thank him enough and the price was far cheaper than the rest . thank you again Eric ! read more

Mr. Stolle does exceptional work! We called him to work on a few of our units at our property and he came right away and explained the issues and what needed to be done to fix them. He installed a new sink, fixing a foul smell coming from the sinks water tank in 2 other units, and solved the mysterious leaking sink in our gym. One of my tenants even called our office to compliment who we used to do the repairs in his unit. Saying he was quick and respectful of the apartment cleaning up the mess before leaving. Not only was he knowledgeable and experienced he was respectful and made the whole office laugh! You can't go wrong with Mr. Stolle! Thank you for making our tenants and us happy! read more

Eric was a lifesaver!! He responded to my request for an appointment quickly and kept me posted on the day of the appointment about his whereabouts. He arrived in a mask and gloves and was very professional. I'll definitely be keeping his card! read more

Eric is the best. Referred to me by ET Plumbing, Fair prices and great service. I highly recommend. read more

Oh man. I hate leaving bad reviews... but I would have wanted to know it would be SO much money for such a simple fix- I will say that I made a big error trusting him and not asking him his hourly rate before he I honestly thought he wouldn't overcharge me like that ($225/hour). Eric was relatively responsive during the chaos of the freeze aftermath (wouldn't answer my calls but would text me back eventually) BUT he charged me SO much money! He charged me for 2+ hours of work and the biggest chunk of that was him going Home Depot to get a 6" long piece of plastic pipe (which I'm sure he must have had in the back of his truck) $225 an hour is awfully steep in my opinion. $650 to snake a shower drain (10 min max) and cut out a small piece of sewer pipe and replace it. Yikes... well I guess we don't need to eat for a while. Honestly, I would have been a loyal customer for life and referred him to everyone I knew of that hadn't have been so damn expensive. :( I remarked it was a lot and asked if that was his post-freeze rate and he said no, he wouldn't 'gauge customers' but what the heck does he call this? I feel certain he wouldn't have tried that if I were a man. BEWARE, his rates are HIGH! Ask before you have him come out and know he will be gone for most of the time he charges you for. read more

Short version: did a poor job, and subsequently refused to answer his phone. Overcharged. Avoid this plumber at all costs! I had a shower that wasn't working properly, so I hired Eric. He came over, and said the cartridge needs to be replaced. He took a full hour just to get the part (there's a home depot like 10 minutes away), and charged full rate for that. He took a half hour to write up the receipt - also charged full amount for that. The shower handle stopped rotating properly after a few days, and the shower itself doesn't switch modes correctly - clearly he used an incorrect part - two other plumbers agree entirely on this. Any attempt to contact him after this goes straight to voicemail - calls don't ever get returned. The plumber who recommended him to me no longer recommends him because he's flaky. Just an awful human to deal with, and a worse plumber. read more

Eric was quick to come out and take a look at our old rusted out water heater after it started flooding our garage. Said we'd need a new one but talked me through everything that happened with the previous one as well as how to take care of and maintain the new one. The price was reasonable and he was able to install quickly. Thanks again! read more

I called late on a Monday night to leave a message so I could get my plumbing issue resolved early the next morning. To my surprise he answered the phone and made sure to squeeze me in to his already booked day. Fixed the issue immediately, and was responsive to follow up questions. Definitely highly recommended! read more

The first day of school in RRISD I came home from dropping off my Senior to find I had a marshland instead of a yard. My home warranty company doesn't cover leaks outside of the house, so I called three other plumbing companies to no avail. A friend and RRHS graduate on FB recommended Eric Stolle Plumbing, also a RRHS graduate. Eric was professional, courteous and found the problem right away. Within (2) hours the pinhole leak in the copper tubing was remedied and my water was back on and flowing into the house instead of everywhere else. Eric Stolle Plumbing was very easy to work with and made it apparent they work with all heart. Thank you Eric Stolle Plumbing for coming to my rescue! I will continue to recommend your services to all I know. THANK YOU! read more

I had an issue with a clog downstream of my garbage disposal that rendered the kitchen sink unusable and foul-smelling. Following a friend's recommendation, I called Eric Stolle Plumbing and made an appointment for the next afternoon. The plumber was there exactly when he said he would be, fixed the issue immediately, and charged an entirely reasonable price for the work done. In the event a larger plumbing issue ever occurs, I will certainly be giving him a call again. read more

We had the fantastic luck to have 2 water heaters go out within 4 days of each other. When I called Eric Stolle Plumbing he was quick to respond and replaced both heaters at a reasonable price. No price gouging, no messing around, he just got it done! If you need plumbing work, simple, complex, remodel, replace, give him a call. read more

Eric was knowledgeable and fixed our hot water heater so we have hot water again! Very professional and good at explaining the issues and solutions. I highly recommend him for your plumbing needs! read more

So very thankful for Eric. He was a referred by another local plumber that we called and was booked and couldn't come out to help us with our leaking water heater. I explained that our water heater was 15 years old and so it was probably going to need replacement. I explained that there was water leaking from the top and bottom and he said that it most likely would need a replacement. He gave me a bid and said he could bring everything out the next morning for replacement. I asked him if it ended up not needing a replacement and just a minor fix then would that be an issue since he would be bringing a new tank with him. He said that it would absolutely not be a problem and he would never just replace a water heater that didn't need to be. Eric told me that he would just return everything to the supply store. No problem. Well as we suspected because the water heater was so old it did need replacement. I had received a few other bids from other plumbers and they were close to $1500. Eric's bid was a few hundred lower (which is closer to the average cost for a 40 gallon tank) and he was so courteous and informative and I felt really comfortable letting him do the replacement. I was really happy with the work that he did. He was efficient and did a great job. The new tank looked fantastic and he cleaned up everything perfectly. No mess. I would highly recommend Eric. He is definitely straightforward and knows what he is doing. He doesn't give you crazy high prices and he is honest which is not always easy to find. read more

Eric has always been professional, thorough, prompt and clean when we've needed his services. Most recently we had 2 water heaters go out within 4 days of each other. Although I had initially bought myself some time to have a neighbor plumber do the work when they had availability by bypassing the first failed heater, after the 2nd one went we couldn't wait for the "friend discount" from my neighbor. I called up Eric Wednesday evening, explained the situation and he quoted a fair price and moved around some work to get to us first thing Thursday morning. He arrived on time, came in with new drop clothes to keep our house clean and dry and got right to work. By the end of the day we had hot water again, the work area was clean (he even grabbed a nearby vacuum and vacuumed his work area and the stairs!), and we weren't taken to the cleaners on the cost to get it all done. Although we now have a neighbor that is a plumber, after another fantastic plumbing service by Eric Stolle Plumbing we'd have a hard time not calling Eric first for any future plumbing needs. read more
