Instead of buying plumbing equipment from my country, this is the perfect place for it for best quality. They were amazingly helpful and gave me a few tips of each. Each part you buy from there really deserve its price instead of buying generic tools monthly!

Business is in downtown area, I didnt realize it was there. Staff was very helpful and they actually had what we were looking for. The product loaders also very nice and professional. This place has a good vibe, will come here again.

Needed a Stiebel Elton electronic water heater. Melvin checked his stock and unfortunately didn’t have it but called around, located it, brought it over to his own shop same day, and charged me the same price as online stores. Good service. Great people. Glad to have met Melvin and everyone else.

Extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The folks here really are the best at what they do and just as a bonus, they carry EVERYTHING. Thanks to these folks at Universal I was able to find all the materials to fix my pipes after the winter storm.

Called in advance to verify that they had the parts that I needed and drove from Clear Lake to pick them up. The person on the phone didnt bother to verify it was in stock and I made a trip and stood in line for 2 hours for nothing! CITY PLUMBING is MUCH better and will actually verify that they have items in stock before you drive out. I am NEVER using Universal Plumbing again

Reading all these reviews of how good they are just seem soooo fake! They were not helpful and just treat you dumb. They didnt have any stock of anything, just a big waste of time coming here.

You need a tough outer shell to handle the politically incorrect banter that Congress between the counter crew and customers, but they are by far the best stocked and most helpful plumbing store within this City!

They have everything but what I dont think its right is the brother of the owner is making his business and getting others order making the ppl wait longer bc he writes down the orders for plumbers get those ready first.. when the plumbers should get in line like everyone else. Smfh.

Review №22

Incompetent, unorganized and zero ability to use technology (a computer). If you need to order something you have ordered before... good luck. Everyone that answers the phones will transfer you until they put you on hold or hang up. Then, they will increase the price of the items if they are busy.

These guys have anything related to plumbing. I recently purchased a house built in the 1960s. The plumbing bathroom faucets and toilets are in need of TLC. Universal Plumbing Supply helped me match items that are almost 60 years old. They are knowledgeable and reasonably priced. For old, one of a kind, or hard-to-find items, this is the place to go. When I wanted to install a new master suite they even helped me with a quality toilet for just over $100.

Review №24

Homeowner with HVAC background. Was looking for parts for my busted water heater, Melvin quoted be a good price on a new one instead so I went with that. Service at parts counter was good, made sure I left with everything I needed (including the CPVC cement I would have forgot for sure).Now, understand that this is an industry guys part shop. If you know generally what you want, they will help you get to the right product. If you are there to get Water Heaters 101 at the counter, you might want to call for general info and do some reading on products first. Still - I would recommend this shop for general tools, parts, and hardware for homeowners who can do their own work. If not - call your local plumbing contractor and save yourself.

Universal, is a Houston landmark for Plumbers & your total plumbing needs.With decades of expertise & knowledge behind the counter. You cant go wrong. Glen, & Pablo, can answer any questions you may have about the mystic arts of plumbing and plumbing repair.It has the feel of a Texas Ice House & is probably my all time favorite Plumbing Supply.

RUDE RUDE RUDE. Just got off the phone with their superior staff whom like to make you feel extremely stupid. I was told that certain plumbing terminology was actually house hold language, then put me on hold because this particular individual could not be bothered. SORRY YOU CANT STAND YOUR JOB BUT YOU SHOULD REALLY SAVE YOUR RUDE BEHAVIOR FOR YOUR LOVED ONES......

Had a piping problem that nobody at my office or a hardware store could figure out. Took it here and they fixed it in seconds, and immediately helped with other sections of the project. Id pay for just their advice, but they have every adapter and plumbing equipment anyone could possibly need. Will come back again anytime.

Fantastic customer service- they helped me disassemble our clogged up modern kitchen faucet. It was not a brand they service or stock parts for. Nevertheless, Travis & company helped me resolve a problem without charging a dime. They came up with a solution long term that didnt involve a new $450 faucet. Great place!
