It always helps to keep up your home's plumbing system in order to avoid costly repairs down the road. Regular maintenance can also help to extend the life of your plumbing system. If you have an older home, maintaining the plumbing becomes even more important. Black Plumbing is standing by to perform all of your plumbing maintenance services.
Black Plumbing can install, repair, and maintain any make and model of hot water heater. We know that our customers count on us for their plumbing needs, so if your hot water heater is in need of replacing, we will make sure we find the absolute best replacement option for your needs and budget. Though the life of hot water heaters varies, if yours is more than 10 years old, chances are you're going to need a replacement fairly soon.
These days, more and more homeowners are making the switch to a tankless water heater. And for good reason! Tankless heaters can pay for themselves over time, as they're more energy efficient than traditional hot water heaters. Tankless heaters only heat water as you use it, unlike traditional heaters.

This is the second time weve used Black plumbing and they have definitely earned themselves a customer for life! We had an unexpected plumbing issues tonight and they were quick and efficient. These guys are awesome! The technician arrived quickly and assessed our problem and took the time to answer all of our questions. He was very friendly and informative! We love that Black plumbing offers emergency plumbing services for those unforseen and unexpected plumbing issues! We are so thankful and appreciative of Black plumbing!!

Had problems with toilet leaking. The gentlemen that came out did a wonderful job repairing the problem. We decided to have a new toilet put in so they picked one up for us and put the new one in. The gentlemen were very professional and kind. Will recommend to others about how professionals they are and what a great job they did.

This is our first experience with Black Plumbing and we were 100% pleased. Their employees, Tyler and Justin, were very efficient and professional in locating our leak and repairing it in a day’s time. We will certainly recommend them. In this day and time, it is unusual to find such knowledgeable and nice employees.

I just want to say thank you Jeff. Most of the time when you call for help, people can be very rude and not explain exactly what they are about to do. Not in this case Jeff was very easy to talk to, he explained everything to me to where it was easy to understand and he even fixed another pipe that was wrongfully put and he didn't have to let me know. He could've just fixed what he came for and left but he didn't and I'm very grateful. He is truly a good honest guy and I really appreciate it. Once again THANK YOU, JEFF.

Each time the Black Plumbing team has visited, they have done amazing. ✔ I've had a few encounters with the same techs and they have all been professional, experienced and committed to resolving my issues. Clayton and his two techs today (I forgot one of their names), Bob, Santos and Jeffrey previously are all excellent service technicians. Would highly recommend and will always call Black Plumbing!

We had an issue with possibly our water heater. We had water leaking out on the floor in a closet, into the garage, under our freezers. Also seeping into our 1/2 bath. We called them Saturday morning, and got a lady that said she will try to call the person on call to get someone out and they will call us back. It is now over 30 hours later, and no one called. I guess they don't want our business again. 24x7 service? Not true. We will not give them our business again most likely due to this.

I've used this company in Abilene & San Angelo. They are big enough to do most any job and they have saved us more than once. There are times I have to say no on their estimates for work because they are not the most affordable, but the times I have used them and bit the bullet on price, I was happy with the work.

UPDATE: Spoke with owner Darrin Black. He said my review was slander. Along with calling me a hypocrite for stating I'm a Christian on FB. He also made jabs about my posts because posting this review I wasn't being Christian-like. He told me that I should be ashamed of myself and shame on me for posting the review. I read one of his 1 star reviews on FB and apparently I'm not the only one that the word slander is thrown at. No true reputable professional, Christian or not, would speak at people like I was spoken to. I was going to remove my review after we agreed to disagree. Then

Had a problem with one end of my sewer line which a toilet, a shower, lavatory and washing machine connect. I'm too old to fix these problems myself as I had done the original plumbing, but that was over 35 years ago. So, I made the mistake of calling these guys. I thought they were professionals and after problem after problem they finished two days later and presented me with a 2,500 dollar bill. I wrote them check, they went on their way. We washed a load of clothes and air started bubbling through the toilet, I assured my wife the it was just air and everything would be fine. The toilet

I recently had my clean out snaked to clear out unwanted toilet paper and debris. The day before my washing machine had run over into the floor and flooded some of my carpet. I was able to shop vac and dry it up, so i called on Black Plumbing. Worst idea possible. After most the day to snake a clean out, they told me all debris was cleaned out and it was clear. Not being plumber savvy, I assumed when they did a job it was done right. I assumed too much. That night my pea trap to my washing machine clogged and flooded my house. All my carpet ruined. It cost me $3,000 to replace it all. When I called

If I could give 0 stars I would! You guys are a bunch of frauds! Charge an unreasonable amount for a job and don't even successfully complete the job! Now we have just as much if not more problems! Try to get you guys to come back out and you claim we will now have to pay double because it was after hours! How in the heck does this even sound right!?! I can guarantee me and my family will NEVER go through you guys again, and you can expect me to recommend the same to others through reviews and word of mouth. This is straight robbery at its finest what you guys pulled today. Unacceptable

If I could give them no stars I would. Called and told them 2 days prior to the service call it was possibly a heating element in a hot water heater. They arrived 2 days later late in the day and let me know that the heater has totally failed. Can't install another one for 6 days! Charge me 165 for their diagnosis. Such a waste of my time!

I never had any problems in the past with these guys. I called them about fixing 2 toilets. I thought this would be an easy fix. They came out one day and then it was over a week before they came again. They finally got the problem fixed and they only charged me for one days work. They would have gotten more stars if it hadn't taken so long to fix what I thought was an easy fix.

These guys used to be 4 or 5 stars. I used them for years. They still show up when expected... Mostly. Often call to come earlier or let you know if they'll be late.
I had them replace two water heaters. They immediately exhibited electrolysis and rust at the connections. They came out to repair it once, but after the same issue recurred, they were very clear that their warranty was out and they could order the parts and charge me $100 per hour to fix it. Since I have no confidence in their abilities, I'll go with someone else to pay $100 per hour. Why would I pay them to fix something
