Best Gas Water Heater Repair in Austin TX

Just wanted a quote for a simple repair. Was even able to provide a similar part number. Brad was straight up rude, which even he acknowledged by apologizing. More power to him if he's able to stay busy with his demeanor. But if you have 25+ years of experience, you should be able to estimate something off the top of your head, especially if it's something small between $300-$600. That all being said, I read his reviews and would probably still work him in the future.

So far so good. Out of the blue, hot water in my house stopped working. I relit the pilot light but it went out after a few days. I thought the issue was a wire (I believe it's called a thermocouple), which would have been an easy fix. Before doing sell, I reached out to Proven Plumbing to see if they can consult on what they think I should do. I found this business from a neighborhood Facebook group. Apparently someone else in the neighborhood had the same issue a while back and they had recommended this company. If you have no hot water then you understand you'd like to move pretty quickly on a decision. Proven plumbing was extremely responsive and very professional. They came out after a few hours and scheduled an appointment with me the next day to replace the entire water tank. It turns out that the water heater was about 14 years old so this is about the end of the useful life. I wasn't expecting to pay a little bit north of $1,400 but that's what it took. I am very pleased with my investment. A week later the city came out to perform an inspection and, it passed with flying colors.

Proven plumbing told me that I have a year warranty and then a few years after that the manufacture gives a warranty. However, if anything were to happen then my contact would be proven plumbing and then they would reach out to the manufacturer on my behalf. This all happened last month. So far so good. Hopefully I never have to use the warranty.

Great business ethics! 

My wife and I recently encountered a leak on our newly remodeled shower plumbing. John came out and quickly and expertly fixed the leak. Out of kindness, he took a look at the shower valve b/c it was pretty tight. A couple of days after the adjustments were made on the valve, we noticed a drip.  We wrote Gilbert an email and the very next day he showed up, took the valve apart, went to his supplier in the middle of a storm to pick up a part, replaced it, and didn't charge for any of the labor or parts.  My hat goes off to Gilbert and his crew for his top notch customer service and ethics

Honest, professional and work in a timely fashion, what more can you ask for? David and his crew tackled a challenging job replacing a sewer main on a 50+ year old house in a tight location compounded by torrential rain. Dealt with multiple issues along the way and Rooter-man handled them well. 2 thumbs up!

Patrick was our tech for a hose bib repair. He showed up FIRST thing in the morning, a rarity for service calls. He was polite and courteous, and knocked the job out in a timely manner. I would absolutely use him again.

My exterior faucets blew out due to the freeze during Christmas and I was really fortunate to have CT come out and help fix the faucet the same day. We also spotted another faucet that was leaking and he helped change that one as well.

CT was very professional and efficient. He came out within 30min and the repair took less than 30min so I was able to have water again to enjoy the holidays with my family in no time.

Would definitely use again.

They did not give me a quote for the job after the camera inspection through the drain plumbing line.  I texted them to remind them of a bid, and still no response.  In my opinion, they want quick money.

Not only is Abel able to plumb PERFECTLY but he is also a great listener. He makes sure to tackle all of your concerns.
Once he determines the root of problem, he will go over every detail with you before starting on the job.
He is determined to get the job done and will not leave the site until it is completed.
Did I also mention that he is very affordable?
Great Work, Great Price, Great Person! Highly recommended!

I texted Braulio with an issue with one of my rental properties.  The water was coming out very slowly from one of the bathroom faucets.  He told me to replace the aerator ($4) and fortunately my tenant was able to help out and give it a try (I live out of state).  Sure enough, fixed the problem right up.  It is so refreshing to have someone honest that will shoot you straight and give you the $4 fix and not make anything instead of just charging $250 for a service call.  Standard Plumbing will be my new go-to for all of my plumbing needs.

Garbage disposal stopped working and sink was backed up over the Labor Day weekend.  I couldn't cook or run the dishwasher.  Called, left a VM on Sunday and Jaime texted me back within 30 minutes.  He said he could drop by the next day at 10:30-11:00. Mind you, that was the Labor Day Monday!  He showed up on time and got to work replacing the broken disposal with another one I had bought from one of the big box stores.  Unplanned but he was also able to fix an old toilet at the same visit.  All for a reasonable price.  

Very grateful for his responsiveness and professionalism.  I've found my go to plumber now and I know my old house will have something for him come back for another visit...hopefully not soon.

Really enjoyed working with Jim. His honesty and straightforward nature of getting work done is hard to ignore. He knocked everything out quick and was incredibly responsive via text and phone.

Great service and very reasonable rates! Brian knows his stuff. He was fast and efficient and solved the problem. My AC is cooling very well. It's great to know you can get this level of service on a Saturday and not have to pay an outrageous sum. Thanks  Stan's and thanks Brian! You guys are amazing!

I had a gas pipe relocation work and started by getting quotes from professionals on Yelp. Plumb Doctors was very quick and responsive and after sharing photos of my work and the job site, we agreed on a base price. Andrew came to my home and very quickly understood what I needed. What he did was beyond the quality that I expected. He relocated my gas outlet very quick and safe and answered all my questions patiently. Since we are still in Covid era, he was wearing face mask and shoe covering that I really appreciate. I recommend their services strongly!

I've hired Thunderbird Plumbing for a couple of jobs now and was really happy with the outcome of both. One was relatively small and easy - putting a drip pan beneath a hot water heater. The other was gigantic and heinous - leaking pipes beneath my foundation, which took 2 or 3 days to completely repair. In both cases, Jeff was great to work with and extremely patient and thorough. For the latter job in particular, I was very impressed. They had to go through my garage floor, dig out a mound of dirt and store it in the driveway until the job was done, fix the multiple leaks, then back fill all of the dirt and cement in the hole in the garage floor. When they were done, I honestly couldn't tell that anything had been out of sorts. They left the place exactly as they found it; no small task considering the size and nature of the job.    

I've used a lot of plumbers in south Austin over the last 9 years, but these guys are now my go-to plumbing people.

Today if the fourth time I have used Pure Plumbing Service.  Each and every time they have done a wonderful job.  The staff is very professional,
polite and flexible.  I would recommend Pure Plumbing to anyone if you
have a job that you want done right.

Scott was great! So helpful, friendly, and fast. Our bathtub hadn't been draining properly for months he fixed it quickly! He cleaned the bathtub, explained future maintenance suggestions, and was extremely polite!

It's about time I got around to leaving O&M Plumbing a review.  I've used Ben and his crew several times over the past few years both personally and professionally.  Every single time I call, Ben either personally answers or calls me back within just a few minutes.  His bids have always been honest and transparent with a clear outline of the work to be done, the cost of parts and labor.  O&M's not always been the cheapest bid I've gotten, but they are the most reliable AND I've never had to call them back for the same issue.  They fix it right the first time and to me and my owners thats worth the little bit extra.  I'd never hesitate to have Ben and his crew take care of any plumbing issue.  Personable, Honest, Transparent and  Reliable.  I wish I could say that about all my vendors!!

My Son is a Long Haired Hippy Type. Cody came out on time and cleared the Boy's shower drain. Professional and Pleasant to talk to. We will be using Austin Plumbing again in the future.

Had an emergency plumbing issue over the weekend with two toilets backing up & overflow into shower. Quick Response, excellent service, & reasonable price I'd recommend this company & use again!

They were able to make room in their schedule for me very quickly and were even kind enough to call and see if I wanted them to come sooner (I did) when someone else cancelled. They quickly identified that the leak was actually a backed up drain pipe from me A/C. They cleared the pipe for me, helped me fix it so that it wouldn't happen again, kindly pointed out that I needed to clean out my dryer vent soon, and vacuumed out all the water that had accumulated. They were very punctual and professional. They're one of a very few businesses that I have saved into my phone to contact again in the future if I have problems. I highly recommend them!
