    Had Milton install a french drain in my back yard due to flooding after heavy rains. It was actually pretty challenging job as my back yard has a very slight grade. Milton and his team were able to get enough drop in the french drain that I didn't need a pump of any kind and this saved me quite a bit money. Other quotes I received required a pump in the system which made the install way more costly. Milton quoted me a fair price and his team worked quickly to install the drain. Shorty after the install we had some heavy rains and the drain system worked great. I would definitely recommend Milton's Drainage. He is by far one of the best.

    The "low point" where the catch basin was installed. During rainy seasons water would sit 6-8" deep covering the ENTIRE corner of the yard.

    Highly recommend Milton for drainage installation. We had disgusting water piles that stayed for WEEKS after rains. Backyard was unusable during entire rainy seasons. Like 6-8" deep standing water at a corner low point. Milton recommended a French drain along our fence line, and a catch basin at the low point. So 2 structures both with a pipe draining to the front street. Milton was patient with us as we weighed the decision, as this was our biggest project to date on the house. Once we were ready, his crew got started the next morning. He was communicative throughout the process, and his crew was friendly and professional. He was flexible- we had a late add-on of a walkway in the area that was no problem for the crew. I also liked how Milton was on-site frequently monitoring the project and communicating with both me and his team. The moment of truth came 4 days after they finished during a heavy thunderstorm. Nothing was more satisfying than seeing a flood of water pouring out of the pipes and into the street (all from our backyard)! The next day the backyard was so nice!!! Just soft damp grass as it should be. No more giant water holes. This project saved and restored our backyard and we could not be more satisfied.

    We had a significant drainage issue on our property. Our entire yard was soggy and squishy regardless of whether it had rained or not and we had 2-3 inches of standing water along the back of our house at all times. We got solutions and quotes from multiple companies and Milton's was the most affordable and comprehensive plan we received. He was able to start 2 days after we requested his service. Him and his crew worked all day in our yard for 4 days. They were very friendly, responsive, punctual, and respectful of our property. Best of all, our yard is now dry!!!! We never thought we'd see this day. Thank you so much to Milton and his crew. You guys did amazing work.

    After: trench behind garage

    We were experiencing some major flooding issues in our backyard after heavy rains. Milton came out to assess and sent us a quote along with a detailed sketch the next day. His team installed 5 catch basins, a French drain, and tied our gutter downspouts to those drains (they had to trench 200 feet of 4" PVC pipe). They also installed edging and Blackstar rock for one of the trenches (at my request) and didn't charge additionally for it. We are so pleased with the results and would highly recommend his company.

    We are so incredibly happy with the drainage and hardscape work that Milton did at our house. They built a retaining wall, raised the dirt level, put down sod, did drainage for three gutters and made concrete pavers before we had turf installed. Milton was also great to work with!

    New channel drain to catch water before it hits the concrete steps.

    I've had chronic flooding issues in my split level home and met with many "drainage" companies working to find a solution. I realized most of the companies in Austin that handle drainage work are just landscape companies. My issues were brought on by water seeping into my foundation and exterior walls and flooding my sunken living room. I called Milton, as I felt his company had a better reputation for working with foundation and concrete than a landscaper, and I was right! Milton, showed up for my first meeting on time and I loved his plan to solve my drainage issues. Other companies offered drainage solutions, but nothing to seal, and protect my home, like Milton offered. Milton and his crew showed up on time on the day they promised and knocked the job out in a day and a half. They ripped out concrete steps that were cracked and allowing water to seep into the foundation of the house and installed a large channel drain to collect all the water draining from my courtyard patio to the steps. They did an excellent job and the work looks great. Shortly after the install we received 5" of rain and Milton's solution worked flawlessly. Would happily recommend Milton and his team and will be using him in the future for more drainage work.

    Exceptional O & Plumbing Service Experience…read more I highly recommend O & M Plumbing for any plumbing needs. In particular, Chris F. has consistently demonstrated exceptional skill and professionalism on every project of mine. His attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship set him apart as a truly outstanding plumber. Project Background I recently purchased an older home, full of charm and distinctive bathrooms. However, I encountered a leak in the master shower that required the p-trap under the shower drain to be replaced before new tile work could be completed. My concern was that reconnecting the new p-trap to the antique cast iron drains in the foundation might cause the cast iron to crumble. Chris F.'s Approach and Solutions Chris came to the rescue, using a camera down the drain to evaluate the situation. He explained the difference between what was probable and what was possible, providing two bids: one for the probable good case and one for the possible problem case. Having used Chris before with excellent results, I trusted his methods, which are always the least intrusive and focused on effective access. In the worst-case scenario, Chris would need to cut and excavate a 2' x 2' hole in the foundation around the shower drain, then tunnel no more than five feet under the foundation from that access point to secure a solid connection to the iron drainpipe. In the best-case scenario, he would only need to excavate a 2' x 2' hole around the shower drain to replace and secure the new p-trap. He also showed me pictures of his past work for reassurance. Successful Outcome Fortunately, the best-case and probable case prevailed. While fixing the p-trap, Chris also discovered an unrelated drain leak under the foundation, which he repaired at no extra charge. I felt I received excellent value for the service provided. Professionalism and Work Quality Chris left the work site clean, as he has always done in the past. He and his co-worker collaborated well, using a small and quiet jackhammer designed specifically for plumbing foundation work. The new drain looks beautiful, and I can confidently proceed with the new tile work, knowing that the unseen part of the shower is sound and affordable. Appreciation Thanks to O & M Plumbing for introducing me to Chris F. and Mike. Both are good and considerate professionals, and I am grateful to have them working in my home.

    Rooterman has changed over the years and, unfortunately, not in a good way. My first review of them…read morewas in 2015 so that tells you that I have been a customer for a very long time. The focus of this review is the water heater that they installed on 1/26/23. As you can see from my other reviews, the water heater that was installed before that one was in 2016. 7 years is a reasonable amount of time for a water heater to last. The problem is that the anode rod is failing in this current one. Edie came out and drained it on June 29th. We are not currently living there. In fact, the house is for sale. The problem was the hot water was turning yellow. He said to run the hot water, especially in the tub upstairs once a week, which we have been doing despite living across town now. Guess what? The hot water is yellow in tint again. Here's the rub. At the top of my receipt it says 50 gallon water heater, 6 year essential warranty. Fast forward to yesterday. Garrett comes out and notes the yellowish tint in the hot water. So, he says he can maybe replace the anode rod for about $500. He also says I can try calling AO Smith to see if they will send a new water heater and they will install it for about 2K. So, this is like going to a mechanic and a part fails and they say, why don't you call the company and see if they will send you a new part? I am pretty sure that is not a thing. By the way, he tried to get the anode rod out and it is welded solid in there. I told him we would give a credit to a potential buyer but after talking to my husband I realize that is not a good approach. It is already a brutal market to try to sell a home. So, I am faced with having to replace it although I have a document that says at the top 6 year essential warranty. That makes no sense. I will have to bid it out and Rooterman will not be on the list. They replaced the heater in 2016 and then again in 2023. I had no qualms in having them install it in 2023 because they had my complete trust. This is no longer the case. I no longer recommend Rooterman Plumbing. I gave them 2 stars because they used to do a good and honest job for me. I no longer feel that this is the case.

    Honestly the work is good...as it should be from a master plumber…read more The issue I have is the issue I've had with literally every plumber ever. They've got you over a barrel when they come out and start throwing parts. This was an install of a drop in kitchen sink and faucet. He told me his hourly rate was 135 bucks. I was expecting to spend about 400 maybe 500. The final bill was 850. I feel I was overcharged on both the parts and labor. He charged me starting 45 min before he got there but still included a "truck charge." The removal and replace of the sink took 2 hours. To me the "clock" starts on the labor at the agreed upon arrival time. When I'm getting charged 439(!) bucks for parts on top of the sink and faucet itself, that extra charge for labor is quite unwelcome. I mean the sink and faucet itself that were "nice" were like 500 bucks. So almost that again just in parts. ‍ His answer in general as I look at these reviews is that he buys his parts from a plumber supply not Home Depot etc. I would have to research each individual part to see if its price point is "fair". A perusal of solid brass fittings and pvc p traps on the Lowe's site shows the price I paid was about doubled. He acted quite insulted that I wouldn't know just how much better his parts were and implied they were all but unavailable at big box stores. literally doubling what I expected to pay was quite a shock to say the least. It is what it is. If I was able to do it myself, I would've. Live and learn Learn a trade kids lol

It happened at 4:30 on a Friday in July and with all the 100+ temps that week, the three other companies I called in a panic were too busy to come out.

Ernie the technician was AMAZING, friendly and professional and a relief to work with. Later on during the water damage mitigation process with TX Dry Out & Restoration, we ended up needing to replace the old out-of-code HVAC, and had a great experience with Airco. Brandon was extremely helpful and happy to coordinate with TX Dry Out to get our new unit installed on schedule amid all the restoration work.
