Herndon Muncey, Inc.

Herndon Muncey runs a plumbing outfit based in Katy, Texas, and has worked the Greater Houston Area since 1995. They concentrate on under-slab leak detection, sewer repairs, reroutes, and freshwater re-pipes for homeowners, realtors, and insurance adjusters. When concrete slabs hide leaking pipes, the crew brings camera inspections and test equipment to locate the trouble without tearing up whole yards. Nearly three decades of this work means they see the same problems in older neighborhoods and newer subdivisions, and they know how to trace lines, confirm failures, and plan fixes that stay within local codes.

Their crews handle full under-slab pipe replacements on older houses, with JR laying out every step so homeowners who are not plumbers can follow the plan. Hydrostatic tests show up often during home purchases, and technicians Alex and Brian arrive on time, run complete checks, and hand over reports that include diagrams and photos. Coordinators like Adrian S. match experienced hands to bigger jobs, while the same team can fit in last-minute tests when closing dates press. They finish sewer and freshwater work, restore the yard to its original shape, and deliver written results by the next business day.

Homeowners give top marks for the way the work holds up, how quickly someone answers the phone, and the clear updates from start to finish. Pricing stays fair with no hidden charges, and the reports arrive complete enough to satisfy inspectors and insurers. These steady results across dozens of jobs explain the overall rating. DIRT Score 4.15 from 23 reviews on Finds.

“I recently hired Herndon Muncey for a large job at my older house which involved under-the-slab pipe replacement. Throughout the whole process, Herndon was great at communicating early and often leading up to the job. JR did a great job explaining the project details to a non-plumber like myself. The crew was extremely hard working (on a hot week) and were professional. I would recommend this company and will call them again if I have future plumbing needs.”

“I reached out to Herndon Muncey during the inspection phase of my home purchase, needing a hydrostatic test. Becky promptly reached out to me and kept in contact via email. Technicians Alex and Brian were on-time and did a very thorough inspection and the report itself was very detailed in its assessment and recommendations. I received the inspection report the next business day after payment and also received a free quote for re-piping the house with PEX. They were a decent value for the inspection and I would recommend them for performing hydrostatic test whether you're a homeowner or home buyer.”

“Almost all projects start with a competent coordinator that know how to COMMUNICATE with internal and external customers, which is Adrian S. Knowing the type of job and the potential complexities of the project, he put his most experienced crew on our job so it would unfold just like the paper proposal. Job was executed as planned and we had constant communication as to where we were in the process and overall project. Great experience with great people resulted in a job well done. Would highly recommend!”

“Herndon Muncey is wonderful, highly recommend. They sprung to action and were able to fit us in very last-minute when we needed a hydrostatic test done in a very short timeframe. They were also able to provide us our report earlier than their already very reasonable turnaround time so that we could use this critical information to help us make an informed decision about a house before our option period was over. Critically from a buyer's perspective (since this is often a sticking point with sellers), ***they accept all liability for any potential issues arising from a hydrostatic test*** (and they expect none), which is hugely helpful. (Make sure to read their agreement for yourself.) Also, their process and pricing is fair and transparent, and the person I spoke with was kind, patient, and answered all of my questions. (This was not the case with every company we considered). Thank you so much to everyone at Herndon Muncey. If we need this service again we'll be coming straight back to you!”

“Herndon Muncey did an incredible job for us. As first time home buyers, they were incredibly patient and did their due diligence with us. Highly recommend working with them!! The best team.”
