Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. We provide a free estimate for most non emergency jobs, along with a clear price range before any work begins.

Is 24 hour emergency service available for every service listed here?

Yes. Our emergency line covers all twelve services above, not only the ones labeled as emergency repairs.

Do you work on commercial properties, or only homes?

Both. We handle plumbing service for residential homes and small commercial properties throughout San Antonio.

How is pricing determined for a service call?

We quote a flat price after diagnosing the issue on site, based on the scope of the repair, the parts needed, and whether it falls outside normal hours.

How fast can a technician usually get to me?

Typical arrival is thirty to sixty minutes, depending on demand and your location within our service area.

Fast, licensed, and local. From clogs and leaks to water heaters and gas lines Silverback gets it fixed today.

Our Services

From Emergency Repairs to Everyday Maintenance

24/7 Emergency Plumbing

Burst pipes, sewage indoors, no water at all — answered around the clock, with the after-hours rate quoted before anyone is dispatched.

Slab Leak Detection & Repair

A warm patch underfoot or a bill that climbed and stayed. Located electronically and proved before any concrete is cut.

Hydrostatic Testing

A written pass or fail on the drain lines under your slab, in about an hour — the test lenders, insurers and engineers ask for by name.

Clay Soil Sewer Lines: Why They Fail Here, and Why Roots Get the Blame

Tunneling Under a Slab

Reach the failed drain from an access pit outside instead of cutting the floor, with backfill compacted in layers.

Sewer Line Repair

Sewage backing up or a drain that will not clear. Camera inspection first, then trenchless lining or a located repair.

Drain Cleaning

Clogged or slow drains cleared by cable or jetting, matched to what is actually in the line, priced before we start.

Water Heater Repair & Replacement

No hot water, a leaking tank or an attic unit past its years. Tank, tankless and heat pump, same-day where we can.

Water Softener Installation

San Antonio runs 15 to 20 grains per gallon. Sized to your household from a test of your own water, not a shelf default.

Whole-House Repipe

Pinhole leaks, brown water or pressure gone everywhere. PEX or copper, permitted and inspected, every drywall opening marked first.

Yard Leak Detection

A wet patch that never dries or a bill climbing on its own. Located acoustically and repaired at one point, not trenched.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was very happy with the job that David and Brendan from Silverback Plumbing & Drain performed on my toilet. They were able to come out to my house within a day of my phone call, which was wonderful. They replaced the seal in my toilet tank quickly and showed me how my old seal had bumps on it (causing it not to seal properly anymore). Additionally, they fixed the chain that connected to the handle for free after I explained that sometimes the handle doesn’t flush properly. I also was satisfied with the price that I was charged for replacing the seal in my tank. David informed me that I should contact SAWS to let them know that I had the seal in my tank repaired in order to possibly get them to reimburse me some money (if the most recent bill that I had was higher than my previous bills). David and Brendan were very knowledgeable, professional, and personable. If you need to have a plumbing job done, don’t hesitate to use Silverback Plumbing & Drain!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Silverback Plumbing! Brian and Brendon recently replaced our water heater and repaired a leaky tub faucet, and they did an outstanding job from start to finish.

Both of them were professional, friendly, and took the time to explain everything clearly before and after the work was completed. They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and left the area spotless when they were finished. It's refreshing to work with technicians who truly care about the quality of their work and customer service.

Silverback Plumbing has earned our trust with their reliability, honesty, and excellent workmanship. We highly recommend Silverback Plumbing, and a special thank you to Brian and Brendon for providing such exceptional service. We will definitely call them again for any future plumbing needs!
