Best Businesses in Austin, TX

Called Brad a few days ago asking about replacing our old shower valve temperature control.  Ive called numerous other plumbers from yelp and they all asked me to described what I wanted and was able to give me an estimate.  Others even asked me to text them a picture of what I needed repaired.   And i know estimate is an estimate, it might be a lot more , it might be less.  No way for them to get an accurate price until the see the issue in person.

But Brad seemed like he was in a rush.  Didnt really ask me to describe what I needed done.  He just went straight ahead to his it will be $95 for me to look at it for the first hour and theres 1000 different valves out there so no way for me to give an estimate .  I mean why not ask me to describe what the valve looks like, or send you a picture of it, etc?  It just sounded like that his priority was the $95 first hour.  I understand business is business, but sounded like he wasnt interested from the begininng.

Technicians showed up on time ... completed the removal and replacement of 2 toilets. The guys did a superb job ... kept everything clean and kept us informed about their progress

Gilbert is super nice, knowledgable and professional! We needed two 40 gallon gas water heaters replaced - Gilbert was very prompt with the quote and the result was a plumbing work of art (it's a shame that they are hidden in the attic). About a week later Gilbert resolved an unrelated issue with our tub faucet...we plan to call Blue Dragon Plumbing again for an upcoming renovation project.

I have never trusted nor liked plumbers. Until today. Thanks to a faulty fill valve, I came into contact with Kyle of Rooter-Man Plumbing, who fixed my toilet issue while keeping me thoroughly captivated and entertained during the process. This is no small achievement, considering the fact that I am a professional author of dark comedic fiction. Kyle is a genius. I not only got my toilet fixed, but also the idea for my next novel.  I almost hope some pipe explodes or another toilet goes on the fritz, just so I can have another intriguing conversation with Kyle. The best plumber I have ever known. And so much more. Thank you, Rooter-Man.

My water main broke and my water had to be shut off, which was a drag. Nathan and his crew went above and beyond the call to get my water main replaced.   There was a scheduling issue with their regular digging crew.  So, they rented the equipment and did the digging themselves.  I could not be more pleased with how quickly they got the job done and my water back on!

Emelio was professional through the entire experience.  He called me before he came to the house giving me an estimate of when he would arrive.  He listened to me describe what was wrong, then he shared his game plan for fixing it with me.  My toilet was stopped up; when the water went down the drain in the bathtub, the toilet would bubble; and then the shower had sewage coming up the drain - gross.  He said all 3 were related and he'd need to remove the toilet to get directly to the drain and so the toilet wouldn't break.  

He brought in his huge auger machine - after seeing it, it was pretty clear why the toilet needed to get removed.  He explained to me what he was doing because I was curious about it.  He did an excellent job and got the clog cleared completely out of the drain so everything was flowing properly again.  He was careful to keep the area clean and didn't track anything through my house.  It was a lot of work to do everything he did - and it's not something I could have done myself.  He reinstalled the toilet and caulked it - a much better job than the builder did.  

He also discovered that one of the clean out valves - the one closer to the street - was broken.  He suggested to call the city, etc. to get them to fix it since it's likely their responsibility (I'm making some calls on that now).  I was very happy with the whole experience and I highly recommend Emelio and will hire him again when I'm ready to put in a new water softener.

They came out promptly from the time of my request. A small job that ended up taking a bit longer due to the fact the piece was original or 35 years old and didn't want to be replaced. Ha.  It works like a charm now. I am very happy.

Dave is our hero! He came out today and fixed a plumbing problem that two other good plumbers have failed to fix. It's been bugging us for over a year. Call him at 512--452-5963. You'll be a happy camper, like us!

Lightning quick response and he fixed my leaky garbage disposal in no time. I will definitely use Abel in the future.

Braulio did an amazing job with my plumbing work. He was very responsive to text, prompt, and on-time. He is an expert and very knowledgeable. He also alerted me about my water filtration system that was fully missing insulation (not done by him).  I chatted with vendor to get the issue hopefully resolved.

Overall great and super friendly guy. Will work with again soon.

We had them out recently to try and figure out why we had a puddle in our yard. He was quick to get back to us, and we loved that he was located in Manor. We also appreciated his knowledge and honesty when he correctly stated that it was a problem with the city's water line. We will for sure hire him again if we ever have another need for a plumber.

I used Jim at Republic Pipeworks to handle the gas line plumbing for my restaurant.

I can't say enough good things about Jim and his work. He is a Master Plumber in every sense. He was prompt, reliable and extremely knowledgeable. His pricing was very fair and his pride in his work in evident in the results. Jim also took the time to explain what he was planning prior to starting, answering all my questions to MY satisfaction every step of the way. Further, instead of plumbing everything simply as he saw as best, He took the time to present me with my options and advised me as to what he thought was the best course of action. I truly felt as a customer, I was a priority to him and he has earned my respect both as a customer and as a fellow businessman.

From now on, Republic Pipeworks will be the only company I trust to handle my commercial plumbing, as well as, the plumbing in my own home.

Very pleased with the service and the timeliness of the appointment.  I needed help with duct work leading from my range vent hood and Bernie was knowledgeable and professional.  He needed to be creative and implement a solution to a unique situation and handled it with ease.

We had a burst pipe on Christmas Eve, in the middle of the winter freeze, and Plumb Doctors answered their phone, showed up within a few hours (at midnight), and did a great job. We couldn't get other plumbing companies to pick up the phone, much less give us a reasonable expectation of when they could help us- one company told us it would be a week! We were so grateful for the emergency service and the price was fair for the timeframe and issue. I would definitely call them again.

Not gonna lie, when I realized I had a leak in my master shower, I remembered seeing a van on MoPac with this name blazoned on the side, and I'm a Law& Order fan..... But happy I called them. They came out the next day, on time, and they were fast and clean workers. While they were here they also resolved my slow-draining kitchen sink. Win!!! Thanks Tony.

I had a blockage in my bathroom drain line; my bathtub and sink were talking to each other in some gurgle language.  I'd already had a plumber come out and try to snake the line.  He told me I'd had a rat stuck (yucky and super smelly when he finished) but he also told me my old cast iron pipe was collapsing and needed to be replaced because he couldn't get his snake all the way through the line.  Quote:  $5900.  So then I had some other plumbers come out to give me quotes.  They were all in about the same price range (except the one that wanted to charge me $9800!) but something about them just didn't fill me with confidence.  Still searching for someone to give me a good, I called Thunderbird. The plumber came out and suggested that we try to snake the line again.  No one else had suggested that, so I thought that I'd give it a try for $130 bucks before I spent nearly $6000.  Guess what?  I don't need to spend $6K any time soon!  Thunderbird has just become my plumber of choice :-)

We selected Pure Plumbing after a Yelp search and reaching out via email for quotes. Mark was a professional, pleasant and respectful. He showed up and took care of business - we were fortunate in having a quick fix. Highly recommend Pure Plumbing Service for anyone in need.

They showed up on time. Great communication. A couple mistakes that were promptly corrected. Olvin was very nice and followed through with everything he said. I'd recommend again. Thank you.

We discovered a leak after coming back from vacation. I contacted Scott from Spot-On Plumbing after the water mitigation company found the source and he came the same day, diagnosed the problem, and fixed it promptly. He was knowledgable, upfront, and was able to identify other major and minor issues that were the cause of the leak. I'd highly recommend Scott to anyone who needs repairs done efficiently!

I called Nick because I have an AC condensate drain that is clogged, and my drip pan is full.  I was hoping to find a good plumber to squeeze me into his schedule on the same day (more of a schedule emergency for me, rather than a true plumbing emergency -- due to my personal travel plans and work constraints, I needed to get this done today, or I'd have to wait for over a month, and I didn't want to leave the house vacant for that long with a shallow aquarium in my attic!).   Nick called me back within an hour, and was very polite and courteous on the call.  As it happened, just after I called Nick the first time, another plumber called me back and had had a cancellation, so I jumped on that appointment.  So I didn't need Nick's help anymore.  Nick was gracious and professional about it, and spent some time on the phone with me anyway, telling me what to expect, and how I could prevent this problem from recurring in the future.  Definitely have to give Union Jack Plumbing high marks for promptness, professionalism, courtesy, and generously educating me even though he already knew I wouldn't be using his services today.   Two thumbs up, Nick!
