Best Pipe Repair in Austin TX

Rude, condescending.  I get it, you're busy and you're probably tired of vague homeowners saying things like, the thingy is leaking where the water comes out of the place or some other unhelpful description.  That would drive me nuts, too.

But I'm not all of those people.  You don't get to be rude to me just because you're having a bad day or you've picked a career you don't like.  I'm having a bad day, too.  No one calls a plumber just for fun.

So here's what happened, Brad.  I fixed it myself.  No big deal?

Yeah, it's  kind of a big deal.  We're completely gutting and remodeling our home in July and guess who I'm not using as a plumber?

Both of our water heaters (connected in parallel) started leaking and the pilot light would not stay on. I reached out to Proven Plumbing for a quote.

The first thing that stuck me about this company is their professional and polite attitude - this is one of the best I have ever experienced. I spoke to Peter and he immediately sent their team members to my house to inspect the current water heater and then they sent me a quote to replace both water heaters. It was very easy to talk to anyone at the company - special kudos to Peter and Louis. What I loved was that they took the time to calmly explain to me what was wrong and what they would be doing. They also answered any questions I had about my quote.

On the day of install, they sent Mr. Richard and Mr. Brian. Both of them were super professional and answered the numerous questions I had :-) It was a true pleasure talking to them. They did an amazing job of installing the new water heaters, expansion tanks and all the insulation (important due to the unpredictable weather in Austin/Round Rock. )

This is a trustworthy company, reliable and knowable with a professional crew. I highly recommend them.

I was trying to replace my toilet by myself and ran into an issue where I felt stuck. Johnny from Blue Dragon Plumbing came out within a few hours on late notice and was a huge help.

When I initially called I spoke with Gilbert who asked that I send a short note with the problem. I was surprised he was able to confirm he received my mail and would have someone out only 4 minutes after I sent my first email.

I would absolutely not hesitate to call Blue Dragon Plumbing again. These guys are very fair and you can trust them.

As the water started dripping at a rate of a gallon a minute through the smoke detector in my son's bedroom and the paint started buckling on the walls/ceiling, and the floor was soaked, it became slightly apparent that we had a problem. I contacted Rooter-Man based upon reviews, and sure enough, people were right. When I asked if they did emergencies, Christy quickly said Sure, we'll be there in half an hour. (whaaaaaat?) Eddie arrived and was super knowledgeable and helpful, told us this hot water heater we have is known for having these issues (but also told us it's under warranty--appreciate honesty). Before he left to go get us a new one (same day--whaaat?), he also referred me to Tracy at Dry Force (water removal specialist) who promptly came over to assess the damage in order to get things dried up. Awesome guy, explained exactly what was needed and took care of the insurance part. Excellent, prompt experience from both companies thus far!!

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.

Had a corroded tub spout that was dripping. Emilio replaced the seals and spout in fast order. He also spotted an issue with the water softening system. When using the cut off at the system, it only shut off the hot water. Thanks to Emilio's knowledge and listening skills, the water system company will repair their mistake next week, saving pipes from further erosion. I would highly recommend EZ Flow. Professional, friendly, insured, and no clean up for the home owner!

Showed up when they were supposed to, they were polite, clean, and professional.

I spent the bulk of a Sunday afternoon replacing everything I could reach under the sink, to no avail. After more than a decade in the same house, the clog was just too far into the wall for me to reach. I admitted defeat and called in a professional.

Not the cheapest in town, but they had immediate availability. When the kitchen sink is clogged, the wife isn't happy. And when the wife isn't happy, immediate availability matters!

Quick response time. Fixed the issue with no problems. Asked if he could look at additional shower issue and he resolved that also. Abel will be the first call I make if any other plumbing issues come up. Extremely glad we went with him.

We had a leaky shower head that was wasting water and causing mildew buildup in our shower from being wet all the time. Once we reached out to Standard Plumbing, Braulio contacted me within minutes to assess the situation, give an estimate, and set a time for repair. He was on time and the repair took less than an hour to complete. Great work. We will definitely be calling Standard Plumbing for future repairs.

Came across a small water leak on the main line coming into the house...I was happy to see that Jamie lives in my neighborhood, I mean...how much more local can you get...He showed up in about 30 minutes, gave me what I thought was a very fair quote and got to work...job was wrapped up in about 4-5 hours and was please with the whole process...Looks like we have a new Plumber that I wouldnt hesitate to call for my needs.

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.

I had decided to have an Aprilaire whole-home filter installed at the intake of my air handling unit. On their website, and for my zip code, Aprilaire listed Stan's as a preferred contractor. And now I know why.

Stan's did a fantastic job installing my whole-home filter, and the price was fair. And they did it without trying to sell me anything else. The man knew what I wanted, showed up, and made it look easy. This was such good work that I'll be seeking them out for more HVAC and plumbing work I have planned.

This company is solid. I'd definitely recommend them.

One of our bathroom sinks backed up. We ran a snake down the pipe but it kept going into the roof vent path. We called Blue Dragon and they said that it sounded like we needed a drain camera and they did not have one but referred us to Plumb Doctors. I scheduled and was told that there was an $89 service call fee but it would be waived if we went ahead with service. Marc and Gabe came and after I signed for the $337 drain opening service they brought in a large power auger. They said their drain camera could not make the turns in the pipe. They tried several times to use the big snake but could not get it to go through. Marc said it looked like the pipe was collapsed or rusted shut and said we would need to tunnel under the house at a cost of $18,000. He knocked $50 off the service since they did not get the drain clear so I was charged $287 for no results. After they left we tried our little wire snake again, got it into the correct pipe and snagged the hair clog and cleared the drain. I called and asked about getting reimbursed for some of the $287 since it was obviously a wrong diagnosis. I was told I would get a call today from the operations manager but no call. I would not recommend this company.

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.

i would give a half star if it was possible.

maybe he is good at fixing water heaters, but i had him redo the plumbing in our old house. Bath tub needed replacing as the drain hole had rusted out beyond repair, new tankless hot water heater and had all new copper underneath the house.

after a couple of months first problem we had we noticed that our tub (new) began to rust around the drain again. it looked as though the tub was dropped on the drain hole (prior to installation) causing a large portion of the ceramic coating to be chipped, thus the rust.

we called mark back and asked him what this could be from...his response was, that it was the manufacturers fault. after calling the manufacturer, they claim that the tubs are sent via conveyer belt into the truck, then delivered to the store. therefore, they would never have the opportunity to DROP a tub.

basically he installed a tub that either he dropped or the person he bought it from dropped. by this time, all of the tile around the tub had been redone and his response was, to just clean it more often. WOW, thanks for installing a damaged rusting tub.

recently, we had our pier and beam house leveled and noticed that all the copper that he installed underneath our house, was just sitting on the ground nor was it insulated.  it was supposed to be tacked up to the underside of the house.  paid full price, for half-priced work. Good Luck Mark

i guess i wouldnt be so angry, if he would have provided some possible solutions, but all he said was ,there is nothing i can do.

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!

Our main sewer line clogged Wednesday night.  I called Ben hoping that he would answer and not only did he answer but he also told me he can  come fix the problem the following morning.  Ben and his assistant (Carlos i think) arrived on time, unclogged the line and got us back and running.  Ben explained everything to me.  Very professional and pricing is a fair.  Thanks Ben.  Im hoping I wont need to relocate our sewer line but if we have to, I know Ben and his crew can take care of it!

I needed a stopped up sink unclogged. I contacted 5 local providers from Yelp, four responded

I chose austin plumbing.

First of all the office manager Chelsea responded right. He was very straight forward about scheduling a time that fit my availability   I'm a disabled veteran and I was given a 20% discount

Cody the plumber arrived on time, respected my home and got right to work. He completed his work quickly and effectively

The other three vendors quoted prices that were over twice the price. They used complicated formulas that are obvious tactics at gouging

I highly recommend Austin Plumbers

Our child flushed a small toy down the toilet, causing a big headache. It was out of reach, toilet was backing up, I needed help. I got in touch with these guys and we had the issue resolved the same day. The work was done cleanly and effectively. The gentleman that came to my home to do the work was very friendly. There is no question that if I have any professional plumber needs in the future, this will be the first company I call.

We just had Diego here today to install a wall mount doggy door for us. I started asking around for estimates last week and Diego was the most responsive, could come do the job the soonest and had the fairest price. Diego worked meticulously to make sure the job was done right. He even touched up the paint around the dog door when he was done just to make sure it was perfect. I have been looking for a good handyman for a long time and am so happy we found Diego.
I will definitely keep him in my contacts for further jobs!
