"My water heater, was about 15 years old, finally started leaking from the base. Now, I have a Home Warranty (AHS), and they were very expedient assigning me to a company to come and see if they could repair it. When the company came out, they gave me estimates, three to be exact. Each estimate was sufficiently more expensive, but it is a water heater replacement, so I understand. For the replacement, they were going to replace the previous model with a comparable. Again, I understand, but chances are, I was overpaying for a outdated and less efficient model. So, after they provided me with their estimate, I Googled best contractors to replace a water heater. I was looking for the reviews, and with the reviews, I only ever look at the 1-3 stars. Well, I found George Plumbing Co. formerly known as Yell For George Plumbing (funny story, if you hire them, please ask why George called it, “Yell for George Plumbing”), and they had 4.9 out of 5 stars (557 reviews) on Google, 4.4 out of 5 stars (58 reviews) on Yelp (They really should have closer to 5 stars) Many of those 1 stars, were very petty. If you rely on Angie’s List, they have a 4.9 out of 5 stars, with 303 reviews, there. If you see or look at Trustpilot, you will see the review is a 2.1, but please make sure you are looking at the right company, as they are George Plumbing out of the United Kingdom. So, please make sure that you are reading the right reviews for the right company. Anyway, just know that I looked at every consumer review site that I could find, even the BBB, which, I normally don’t trust, but still looked. Don’t waste your time, I absolutely disagree. They used high quality equipment, the technicians/contractors were absolutely amazing. Nathan and Austin, were very professional, explaining what they found, how they would remedy it, and what I can do to extend or prolong the life of my new water heater, based on what most likely caused the one being replaced to go out. Both Nathan and Austin, were active listeners, ensuring to address each of my concerns, before the work, during and upon the completion of the work. As with many houses, 10 plus years old, there was a lot of new codes that increased the cost of the work, to bring it up to code. Not only did they correctly explain it to me, but I had already research and talked to the city and county to see what codes my previous heater needed updating. They were right on the money. Another important concern was the warranty. I was happy that they both explained the details of it, made themselves available to contact after hours for any questions I might have forgot to ask. Believe me, I texted, and Nathan replied, in short order. Both Nathan and Austin are very experienced, but also patient, and have a very high level of attention to detail. When they arrived to diagnose the leaking one, my garage was an absolute mess. They even took the time to clean up, my mess, and treat the area that was damaged by the leak. They were very expeditious as well, both taking their time, but not wasting my time on unnecessary explanations. They were both a pleasure to have work on and in my home and I will definitely be using them again if I need too. Of course, I hope I never need to again, just saying… They also took the time to clean out and empty my water softener, which was quite full of sludge and sediment, that contributed to the previous water heater’s decline. I highly recommend George Plumbing Co, so if you need them, please call (210) 495-9991. Any other George is simply not worth your time. Oh, one more thing, the gentleman who runs the office, either Mica, possibly Micah, was very professional and took care of me as a military veteran. Thanks again. If you made it this far, I hope my review was helpful, because I very rarely give reviews, let alone a 5 star one."

"We had a late afternoon plumbing emergency. Marc Gonzales - Master from Will's Plumbing & Testing Service arrived within 1/2 hour and got to work quickly. He explained his work plan and kept us informed as the work was done. He gave us an accurate estimate as well. Very professional and knowledgeable. I’ll never call another plumbing service besides Will’s. "

"This is the worst sprinkler company we have ever used. They used to be much better. We needed to have our system reinstalled after a year of disuse, as well as our control box. There was a lot going on here when they came out, and I never did monitor them. We xeriscaped our front yard and wanted to convert that to used less water. They charged us over $1000 to convert to higher sprays, but they kept finding leaks and the price kept going up. They were supposed to check our back and side yards too, but since they were here, several heads have broken off. Why didn't they do a proper inspection? Also they reinstalled my control box and it cannot be manually controlled, or programmed. When these leaks in the back happened, they charged me $100 to fix one pipe and replace a head (they claimed it had checked before and charged me to come out and do a replacement. WHY DIDN'T THEY DO A COMPLETE CHECK AND ESTIMATE THE FIRST TIME? I HAD ALSO THOUGHT OF DRIP IRRIGATION ON AN INITIAL VISIT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. I mentioned this during the working visit and told me that it would cost me $6,000 or more--and this was AFTER they fixed some leaks."

"Horrible customer service and timing with this whole project of installing our water softener. Tech were always late by like 1-3 hours. We are on our 2nd Friday in a row and the work is still not done. The first Friday they showed up unannounced and the lady Dominique argued with me over the phone about her scheduling them. She was unprofessional and rude. The excuses they have for being late were Covid, warehouse was locked or a tech was not on time. Mind you we have to stay home all day and get nothing done because they need access to the house inside. The manager will not call me back. We have paid in advance and it?s been a mess. Work is still not done. Dominique still argues with us about excuses on why things are delayed. I could recommend this company to anyone. The techs that are here even said the office in San Antonio always get them in a bind with the homeowners and they have to take the raft of it all. Fix your customer service and stop calling customers the morning of to tell us there is a 3 hour delay and your techs show up 4 hours late and the work carries into another week."

"Mr. Lujan ran the “SNAKE” from the clean out outside the house to the clogged out area of the bathroom. He also installed a hose bib that was leaking, and unclogged a hot water line from our kitchen sink. He was punctual and polite. Provided points of how plumbing issues behave to prevent future problems. Well satisfied with his craftsmanship and will highly recommend him."

"We contacted Chambliss Plumbing to replace an old leaky bathroom faucet. The people we talked to were great at explaining their rates (very reasonable) and other aspects of using their services. The plumber for our job even called ahead when he finished a previous job early to see if he could come ahead to do our work. He was efficient, knowledgeable, very professional and friendly. We will definitely contact Chambliss again with our plumbing needs."

"This was my first experience with Rigdon, and it couldn’t have been easier. The whole process was honest, smooth, and pleasant. They communicated well, made everything stress-free, and I’m definitely planning to be a repeat customer. This was my first time having holiday lights installed, and Rigdon made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. After a scare last year, I knew I didn’t want to handle it myself and wanted someone experienced. Rigdon worked with me on a wide range of design options and really listened to what I wanted. They communicated clearly every step of the way and even coordinated the takedown around my birthday, which was such a nice touch. Everything was seamless from start to finish. I’ll absolutely be using them again."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in San Antonio, TX

Expect a well-built French drain to last 30 to 40 years. By channeling both surface- and ground-water away from your foundation, the system relieves hydrostatic pressure and helps prevent costly structural damage. Choose a pipe with a quality cloth filter to keep sediment out and extend the drain’s life. A quick annual inspection and routine cleanouts will keep water flowing freely, ensuring the system continues to protect your home for years to come.

Most French drains sit two feet below grade, but depth ultimately depends on the problem you’re solving. For puddling rainwater or snowmelt, a shallow curtain drain at lawn level often does the trick. To handle rising groundwater, pros dig deeper, down to the footing, and run the pipe beneath the basement slab. A drainage contractor will determine the optimal depth for your specific soil conditions and water issues.

A properly installed interior French drain captures water at the slab, channels it to a sump pit, and directs it safely outside, preventing basement floods before they occur. Because the pipe sits just under the floor edge, a plumber can reach it easily for cleaning or repairs. Pairing the drain with a reliable sump pump gives you the best long-term protection.

Hire a contractor who installs drainage systems every day—typically a foundation specialist, drainage contractor, experienced landscaper, or plumber with waterproofing experience. These pros understand slope, soil, and local codes, and they have the equipment to trench safely around utilities. Ask for references and photos of recent jobs to be sure they can design a system that keeps water off your foundation for decades.

Once the drain is in, patch the yard by reseeding bare spots or replacing plants the crew removed. Inside, look for ways to add value—finishing the basement or upgrading interior waterproofing while the space is open often costs less now than later. Schedule a quick annual checkup to flush sediment and confirm the pipe and sump pump are clear. Consistent maintenance ensures the drain functions properly and protects your investment.

Most policies don’t cover the cost of repairing a French drain itself, but they may provide coverage for water damage if the system fails. Coverage varies by insurer, so be sure to read the fine print or contact your agent before any issues arise. If you live in a high-risk flood zone, consider a separate flood policy to close the gap. Knowing your coverage in advance helps you budget for repairs and avoid unexpected costs.
