Editorial Review
The repair-first positioning is unusual enough to be worth taking at face value, especially in a market where replacement is the easy upsell. Four decades of trading and a 4.8 average across 64 Google reviews suggest a business kept alive by returning customers rather than marketing spend. Just plan around the weekday hours, because there is no published emergency cover.

Editorial Ranking
It holds position 7 in 10 Best Plumbers in Dallas, TX.
Based in Dallas, TX.
Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. A company will often travel beyond the areas listed here for a large job and decline a small one at the same distance, so confirm your address before scheduling.
Northeast Dallas houses, the ones around Lake Highlands, White Rock and the neighbourhoods off Audelia and Skillman, tend to be slab-on-grade builds from the 1950s through the 1970s with cast iron drain lines underneath and galvanised supply lines in the older examples. That housing stock generates a very particular workload: slow drains that turn out to be bellied pipe, water heaters in tight closets or attics, shower pans that fail quietly and rot out a subfloor, and sewer lines that need a camera down them before anyone starts guessing. Mai Plumbing Co Inc works from an address on Faircrest Drive inside that same 75238 zip, which puts the van close to most of the older neighbourhoods it serves.
The service list on the company's own site is a repair list rather than a remodel list. General residential service repair sits at the top, followed by water heater installation and repair, tankless installation, faucet and fixture work, drain cleaning, shower pan testing, sewer line repair and camera inspections. The company is explicit that while upgrades and new installations are sometimes the right answer, repair plumbing is the market it caters to and it prefers to fix what is already there. That is worth reading carefully. A homeowner who wants a bathroom gutted and rebuilt from the studs is probably talking to the wrong firm. Someone whose 14-year-old water heater is dripping and who wants a straight answer on repair versus replacement is talking to exactly the right one.
A family business trading since 1986 has seen several Dallas plumbing eras pass through. It has watched cast iron reach the end of its service life across whole streets, seen tankless units go from novelty to common, and worked through the code changes that came with them. The site says growth has come almost entirely by recommendation rather than advertising, which is consistent with a small operation that keeps a steady book rather than chasing volume. The published licence number, master plumber M16292, is the thing to note: in Texas, plumbing work is regulated by the state board, and a licence number displayed openly is easy for a homeowner to check before anyone comes out.
Hours are the main practical constraint. Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, with Saturday and Sunday closed. There is no published after-hours or emergency service, so a burst supply line on a Sunday afternoon means either shutting off the main and waiting or calling one of the larger Dallas outfits that staffs nights and weekends at a premium call-out rate. For scheduled work, that same weekday-only pattern often means fewer rushed jobs and a clearer diary. Ratings back that up to a point: the Google Business Profile shows 4.8 from 64 reviews as of September 4, 2026, a solid figure though a modest review count next to the big advertising-heavy Dallas franchises.
Before hiring, ask the questions that matter for this trade in this city. Get the licence number confirmed and check it against the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners register. Ask whether the quoted figure is flat-rate or hourly plus parts, and what happens if a wall has to come open. On any sewer or drain job, ask whether a camera inspection is included in the price or billed separately, and ask for the footage. If a section of line needs replacing under a slab, ask whether the plan is a tunnel from outside or a break through the floor inside, because the cost and the disruption differ sharply. On water heaters, ask about the expansion tank, the pan and drain, and whether a permit is being pulled, since Dallas requires one for a replacement.
Compared with the alternatives, Mai Plumbing Co Inc sits in the smaller, referral-fed end of the Dallas market. The large branded companies offer round-the-clock dispatch, financing and membership plans, and they will replace a system readily. A long-standing family shop is generally cheaper on straightforward repairs and less inclined to sell a whole new fixture when a cartridge will do. The trade-off is availability. Weekday-only coverage suits homeowners who can plan, retirees, landlords with a bit of flexibility and anyone who would rather have the same small crew back for the next job.
Company history, ownership and capability details on this page are provided by the business and reviewed by our editors for plausibility and consistency. They are not the same as the credentials block, where each item carries its own verification status and source.
Verified means we checked the credential against the authority that issues it and recorded the date. Reported means the business told us and we could not independently confirm it. We publish both, labelled, rather than dropping what we could not check.
We show each source separately rather than blending them into a single score, because they measure different things.

What this company publishes about its own pricing.
Business-submitted, reviewed by our editors
From the company's own channel and website. Loads only when you press play.
The company operates from 9403 Faircrest Dr in the 75238 zip, in northeast Dallas. Its site describes it as a Dallas-based residential plumbing service without naming a specific service radius, so it is worth confirming coverage for your address when you call on (214) 878-1062.
No weekend or after-hours service is published. Listed hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, with Saturday and Sunday closed. For a burst line outside those hours, shut off the main at the meter and expect to call a firm that staffs nights, usually at a higher call-out rate.
The company's website lists master plumber number M16292. Texas plumbers are regulated by the state board, and any licence number can be checked on the board's public register before work starts. The site also describes the business as insured, though no policy details are published.
The stated preference is repair. The company says that although upgrades and new installations are sometimes the answer, repair plumbing is the market it caters to and it seeks to fix what you have where possible. It does also install tank and tankless water heaters when replacement is the sensible route.
Its Google Business Profile showed 4.8 from 64 reviews when read on September 4, 2026. That is a strong average, though the number of reviews is smaller than the big Dallas franchises, which is consistent with a business that says it has grown by recommendation rather than advertising.
Yes. Drain cleaning, sewer line repair and camera inspections are all on the published service list, along with shower pan testing. For older northeast Dallas homes with cast iron under the slab, ask whether the camera inspection is priced separately and request to see the footage before agreeing to any excavation.

Dallas. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.
Emergency availability is not listed for this company. If you need an urgent call-out, check the ranking for companies that do list it.
Work is guaranteed. There are usually two warranties on a job: the manufacturer covers materials, the contractor covers workmanship. Get both in writing and check whether the workmanship coverage transfers if you sell.
