Best Businesses in Austin, TX

A very rude person, I called to ask for a quote and he quote me something with a huge range. I then asked if he could come by when ever he was in my part of the town and he started going on about how he would loose business  if he did that. OMG, i was just asking as I wanted a quote, if the range was in few hundred $$ i was even fine but said it all depends on what have to replaced. I would stay away from people like this. He needs to tone himself down and be at least less rude to win new business. He could be a one man show and I understand he can't drive all around town but working with your customer as I was very flexible and he was point blank rude. Watch out if you are a new customer.

The best experience I have had with a plumber. I have had 3 different companies out in the last 2 years for clogs. These guys were the cheapest and were friendly. They did a great job.

As a Realtor, Gilbert and Blue Dragon Plumbing are the go-to plumbers on my vendor list.  He is skilled, personable, and honest.  I have also used him for my own plumbing issues and was never disappointed!  I highly recommend him!

As the most recent hurdle in trying to get my property ready for resale, my pipes decided to spring a leak right at the edge of the sidewalk.   After seeing the excellent reviews, I reached out to Rooter-Man to get it looked at.  

They had someone out to me the same day, he found out what the problem was and told me what was involved in the repair.  He was completely transparent with what needed to be done, pricing and the estimate and the problem was fixed roughly 5 hours later.

They were definitely the right people for the job.

I had a mysterious water leak in my rental property (like 25,000 gallons a month), and Capital City came to try to find it, and they couldn't find it. This was largely because my renter had the flu (which could have been covid) so the plumber was in a bit of a hurry to check the inside, and spent most of his time looking for trouble outside. My renter told the plumber he was SURE that it was not the toilets, so the plumber only briefly looked at the bowl in each toilet and moved on.  (Also worth noting is that my renter does a lot of cryptocurrency mining, and those machines are LOUD, so it's not a surprise that the plumber did not HEAR any water running.)

Capital City recommended a specialty plumber that uses sonar equipment.  They came out and instantly found that the guest toilet (in a bathroom my renter never uses) was actually at fault, and then, since they are fancy specialists, they charged me THREE TIMES AS MUCH as Capital City had. The plumber at Capital City was VERY embarrassed about this, and told me to forward the report and invoice from the specialists to him. Capital City has promised to send me a check to refund me 100% for BOTH his initial visit and for the payment I made to the specialty plumber.

They didn't have to do a full refund.  Clearly it would make sense that I should pay SOMETHING to have professionals find the leak, but this is an honest and honorable company and they said it's only right that I should be fully compensated, as penance for their mistake.  I think that is absolutely EPIC.

I now have a go-to plumber FOR LIFE, both for my rental property and for my own house.

The EZ Flow team has been out twice to help us with various minor repairs - primarily unclogging our old house drains. We recommend them to friends and they are great. For example...

I give kudos to Emilio in particular, who walked me through a completely ridiculous problem of my own doing tonight. I assumed it was their work, but in fact it was my miraculous cleaning skills that clogged my drain. Emilio took it in great stride and helped me diagnose my issue (on a Sunday night no less) which saved both of us time and money.

Outstanding company and crew - fantastic owners running the company with integrity, honesty and reasonable pricing - hard combination to find these days, but you don't need to look any further.  Give them a chance, I know you will be glad you did.

Mr.Henderson did a fine job repairing our leaking toilet. He was polite, professional, neat and charged a fair amount.  It was a tight space so I was relieved he could get the toilet in and out in a small area. I appreciated that it didn't seem to bother him that I stuck around asked questions. I learned some new things about plumbing.  :)

Haven't been able to get ahold of Abel after he came out to fix our main valve after the storm. Once he left, we immediately had pressure/flow issues.
Have called, texted, voicemail is full.

I sent a request on Yelp for emergency assistance reinstalling toilets some flooring contractors had removed. Braulio was responsive, provided a quote right away, and visited me on Sunday although they are usually closed. He got the work done quickly and was incredibly friendly and personable throughout the entire visit. I highly recommend Standard Plumbing for quality care done right. Thank you for all your help!

I woke up to both of my bathrooms flooded and Santana plumbing company squeezed me in and within an hour found and fixed the problem. Prices arent bad, he finished in a timely manner,  and he even gave me info to help in the future. I'm so glad that I called them and they're local. They were great.

Jim is amazing. I've used him on numerous occasions and he has always been fair, courteous and quickly gets the job done. We originally used another plumber to install our tub, but he did a terrible job, so we contacted Jim who was able to fix the previous plumber's work. Then we got a flood in our kitchen and Jim was able to come quickly to turn off the water and then returned later to fix the complicated leak issue. We only trust him for all our plumbing needs. I highly recommend him!!

Not impressed. Jessica was confused about June day they were coming. Asked for clarification and confirmation from James by email and never received a reply. Charlie came out on designated day and supposedly did a check-up for $79. He carried a gallon jug of vinegar up into the attic to flush the lines. However, figured out later he did not even turn and face the unit to flush it.
And of course he said my unit would not last this summer.
Recently moved back to Austin.

It was 6 months ago now - but they came quickly and even offered a slot the evening before my appt. My issue was a bit complex so the owner came by after the 1st teammate looked at. Id call them again anytime. They offered many options - honestly and w kindness.

They replaced a water heater in my attic which was not an easy task--especially considering I have a low ceiling in my attic and you have to crawl to move around it! They took their time and were very careful moving the tanks in and out. They were professional, friendly and did an excellent job. Also reasonably priced. Highly recommend these guys!

If I could rate more than 5 stars, I would!  Ted and his team are rock stars!!

I was referred to Thunderbird Plumbing about two years ago and Ted has always done a great job at my Austin property - shows up on time, is smart, professional, and personable.

I didn't think their service area included Dripping Springs, so after trying to get three other local companies to help with a drainage issue for a property there, I casually mentioned my frustration to Ted while he was doing some repairs in Austin.  He said he'd come take a look.

Well, yesterday morning he not only showed up ahead of schedule, he brought a whole crew so that if we agreed on the price they could make the repairs.  I was thrilled that I wouldn't have to wait any longer to be able to use the shower!  The team, Don & Son Plumbing, worked tirelessly, were very polite, and even cleaned up afterwards.

I really appreciate Ted's personal and proactive approach to his work.  I usually call for one specific thing and then remember 12 others while he's here and he just takes it all in stride and gets it done.

Thunderbird is the only plumber I'll ever use!

When our garbage disposal gave up the ghost and water was pouring out onto our floor, I called several plumbers.  Mark not only picked up the phone when I called, but was able to make an appointment the next day.  He called before he came, was prompt, very calming, patient, polite, and reasonably priced.  He also repaired a defective outside faucet that another plumber installed. Would use him again!

Olvin and his crew did a great job. I had a small patio that needed tiling. Olvin gave me a reasonable quote. On the day of installation, they showed up on time and completed the job as we agreed to. And the finished job turned out great. I'd highly recommend him.

Scott did an amazing job with my leaking pipe in my garage. I messaged him at 11pm on Friday night and he responded in real-time and was able to come out the next day. He also helped me with trying to get me maximum coverage with my insurance and even gave me a discount when they didn't cover the repairs. 5/5 would recommend Scott again!

I called Union Jack Plumbing ~9am this morning and Nick called me back within the hour (they don't open until 10am on Mondays).

He scheduled an appt. for the same day, called me 15 minutes before arriving, made sure he had all the parts needed before-hand by asking for make and description of the faucet, arrived on time, fixed it in a flash and with a smile.

Great experience and wonderful person. I highly recommend.
