28 YEARS AGO
by uberplumber at Citysearch
28 years ago I was an apprentice plumber in Houston. I now live in Portland Oregon and own a plumbing and electric company.
During my apprenticeship, an old fellow at U Plumbit would advise on various jobs I was doing (I had to moonlight as an apprentice). He always gave clear instructions and made sure I had the right material.
I am now building a U Plumbit website to assist the Portland do-it your selfer. U-plumbit of Houston, thanks; you were the greatest!
- Pros: They were my start in my trade!

BEST PLACE TO FIX IT YOURSELF
by DboL at Citysearch
I went to this place after SUFFERING from a leaky shower for more than a month or so and it was reflective in my bill. My wife was threatening to call a plumber so I figured what the hell. I went in and was immediately waited on by some guys who knew their plumbing.I had been to Home Depot about ten times and could never find anyone who knew what the hell he/she was talking about-these guys did. They replaced the worn out washer on my cartridge and suggested that I replace another part-sold me the tool and fifteen bucks later I was outta there. I jetted home, it took about fifteen minutes AND THE LEAK OR POURING has FINALLY STOPPED. I love that place.
- Pros: these guys know their profession,very knowledgeable
- Cons: parking and distance, they need more locations
