Adept Plumbing

If you have a plumbing issue call Adept!  They helped us right before Christmas - and Christmas company - to fix bathroom issues.  He's been out again to help us with our outdoor spicots  and other issues.  He's been a great help finding the cause of problems and getting them fixed.  Excellent and highly recommended!

I don't ever leave reviews but I feel like  we should since we received excellent service. Christian and his wife came out to fix our shower handle and to replace our pressure regulator valve. Typically my husband fixes everything but I didn't know the brand of our shower fixtures. And upon my sending him a picture, he knew the brand right away and he ordered a cartridge. He was at our house within a couple of days. We were not having an emergency. This was not an easy job and they knocked it out in an hour. They cleaned up and left everything very tidy. Everything works as it should.

Called Christian out to fix a kitchen sink leak and to repair a broken clean-out in the yard. He was able to fit us into his schedule same-day; arrived on-time; and completed the work accurately and quickly. His costs were reasonable and we're happy to have hired him. Would definitely recommend him.

Very knowledgeable and efficient.  He explained what he was going to do and even gave me some tips for keeping my water flowing full force in the future.  I would not hesitate to call him again if I needed to.

In June 2021, a PVC nipple connecting our water meter to our main water line separated and we lost about 15,000 gallons of water.  Because of our prior experiences with Adept Plumbing, I contacted Christian to schedule a visit to repair the line.  As usual, Christian came out to our home quickly and assessed the problem.  He concluded that the overall connection to our water meter needed to be replaced.  He carefully considered how to perform  the job and completed it successfully at a reasonable price.  It is clear that the new piping configuration is much better than the original installation and we won't have to worry about this problem recurring.  

We have used Adept Plumbing for several other jobs over the years and Christian always does a great job at reasonable cost.  If we need plumbing assistance in the future, we will certainly contact Christian once again.

Quick response, clear terms, and easy to work with. They installed a new kitchen faucet. I will use them again if I need additional plumbing work in the future.

By far the best around! Christian and his wife are amazing honest hard workers! They do the job right! We have had them do numerous repairs in our home in Dripping Springs! I highly recommend them! They do not do emergencies and I totally respect that. They are very responsive.

Highly recommend Christian. He and his wife literally got me out of a serious bind when my water pipe froze and broke this week. If I ever need a plumber, he's now on my speed dial! Thank you, thank you.

Christian is amazing! I had a gas line in need of repair in my fireplace and I'm so thankful I found him. He was prompt, courteous, fair and he didn't mind my dogs wanted to give him kisses while he was working. Such a nice man and excellent plumber. His wife was with him helping as she was equally as wonderful and so incredibly sweet. Don't hesitate to call him for any plumbing needs!

Awesome and trustworthy

All I wanted to say but yelp needs more words

Excellent job

Great service from Christian!  Happy to find quality plumber who works efficiently and does not try sell services like membership clubs or other nonsense.   Other plumbing companies flat rate charge based on a book to boost profits- for example, installing a toilet rebuild kit is $350 and two toilets is $700 even though the time it took was 90 minutes.   Christian charges time and materials, so for most jobs he is much cheaper, while providing the same or better repair.

Highly recommended

Christian and his wife were recommended to me by some friends of mine.  They were great. Called last night, and they came out this morning.  Fixed my kitchen sink, which had been backing up horribly, and showed me what to do to help maintain it so it (fingers crossed) doesn't happen again.  I felt their price was fair, and the work was completed pretty quickly.

Also, because this is important in the times of COVID -- they put on fresh masks and gloves before they got out of their truck, kept them on the whole time they were in the house, were easy about maintaining social distance, and even used some cleaner I had out to wipe down any surfaces they had touched.

There is a lot to like about this one-man operation. Answers his phone. Shows up on time. But before that he asks good questions on the phone to make sure you don't arrange for services you don't need. Does another test upon arrival to ensure you need the big repair. Knows his stuff. Improves on previous plumber's work. Builds in measures so if it needs a repair in future- parts are more accessible.
You get a sense of Christian's honesty throughout. Note: his quote was not the lowest, and it wasn't the highest either. But you could deduce from his questions and thorough explanations that you were getting a much better service than many might provide. He says he stays one man now in order to be totally accountable. Makes sense. Complete recommendation here.

If I could give 10 stars to Christian at Adept Plumbing, I would! He goes above and beyond and doesn't ever try to up-sell. He guarantees all his work, and he's honest and fair with his pricing. He is the only plumber I will call!

Christian is knowledgeable and honest. We needed emergency service due to a blockage in our septic line and he came out within a few hours. He also texted multiple times to update on his ETA and I was able to see his location on Waze when en route, which was very convenient! He took the time to explain everything, and the price was fair. He and his wife are truly wonderful people- we will use them for all our future plumbing needs.

Had a pair of sun glasses get flushed down the toilet. Called them and they schedule for the next day even though it was not an emergency and were in and out within and hour! Great job and reasonably price. Thank you!

Christian and Beatrice arrived just a few hours after we called them about a leaky garbage disposal. Their good humor was evident even through the masks they wore, and Christian got the job done efficiently while Beatrice fetched parts and performed quality control. I enjoyed having them in my house and recommend Adept Plumbing far above all others. Absolutely first class.

I am so happy I found Christian.  He fixed a leak in my kitchen faucet and replaced a sensor valve on my hot water recirculating pump.  He's a super nice guy, does excellent and fast work, and very fair hourly price.  I initially called a larger company but they quoted me a much higher fixed price.  Christian has been doing this for around 30 years.  He's super knowledgable, and he took 20 minutes of his time on an initial phone call to diagnose the problem and make sure that he had the necessary parts when he showed up at my house.  He'll be my go-to guy for all future plumbing issues!

I called Monday morning at 8 am and Christian got back to me within 30 minutes with commitment for this afternoon. He was professional, knowledgable, provided some great information to avoid this issue in the future. This is the second time we have used Adept Plumbing and highly recommend them.

I personally appreciate that he was able to diagnose the issue and resolve within one hour. Thank you!

Adept are fantastic! Christian and his wife are really warm, and patient, and you can tell they know exactly what they are doing, and what they are talking about. I found the price really fair, and better than some competitors.

Very happy with the job, call Adept if you need plumbing done!

Christian and his wife were knowledgeable, professional, and fairly priced. It was a true pleasure to have met them even if the reason wasn't great. They went the extra mile and found an issue I did not know existed and fixed it promptly and properly.  Whenever I do have plumbing needs, I look forward to working with Christian and his wife again as it is a great feeling to have a trustworthy plumber.  Highly recommend.

Highly recommended! Christian is very knowledgeable and thorough as well as reasonably priced. I hired him in the past to replace the leaky hose bibs (spigots) on the outside of my house and he made it look easy. Recently I tried to install a garage sink and failed... water was leaking everywhere! I made an appointment with Christian and he not only quickly solved the problem but anchored the sink to the wall and made it sturdy. Very much appreciated!

I gave Christian a call and he was at our house less than 24 hours later! He not only fixed a few things that needed fixing but he even showed me how next time I could probably fix a few of the things myself! He was reasonably priced and he was a super nice guy too. That's always a bonus!

In response to Christian's detail response, which I greatly appreciate, I am modifying this review..

Christian has helped us with several serious plumbing issues. He is extremely knowledgeable and does a good job.

I called Christian and asked if he could come over and take a look at somethings in the house. Nothing wrong just want to make sure all is ok.  Wow, what an honest guy.  He told me how to do the checks so he wouldn't have to charge me because it was so simple.  Major thumbs up for him!  You don't find many people who would do that.  10 Stars PLUS!

Christian called me back with 15 minutes of me leaving a message about my clogged toilet and was over at my house an hour and a half after that. He was friendly and knowledgeable, and really wanted to show me how everything worked. He gave me options and didn't push the upsell. His visit lasted about a half hour total.

I had a hard time understanding some of what he said, but overall he was very charming. I wish I had known that he doesn't take credit or debit cards before I called him though, as I don't have checks or keep that much cash on hand. I would call him again or recommend him to a friend.

Christian, owner of Adapt Plumbing, is exactly the type of person that you want to work on your home.  He is honest, professional, and knowledgeable.  We had called quite a few local plumbers who either did not call back or did not show up when they said they would.  Christian called me back within a short time of my initial call, fully explained what needed to be done, and provide a date that he could do the work along with a cost estimate.  

When Christian arrived at our home (on time as scheduled), he quickly went to work and finished the job in just a couple of hours.  His rates are reasonable and he is a pleasure to work with.  We highly recommend Christian and will not hesitate to call him again if we need plumbing work done.

Just had Christian save the day here! Such a pleasure.

At 5:00 PM at my business, we discovered that our toilet was clogged. We only have one bathroom and patients and staff need to clearly have access to a working restroom. In a panic, I began trying to phone businesses from YELP to try to get a plumber out to fix the issue prior to my first patient today. I must have called 15 places and left messages. Thankfully, Christian called me back and was able to fit me in first thing this morning before his other jobs.

He was wonderful. Very professional, friendly, fixed the issue. He was also very informative, explaining everything (he had to access the drain line also). Totally recommend him and will be using him in the future in the event that I ever have any plumbing issues!

Christian called me back within 30 minutes and was able to get me on schedule within 3 days, which was fine for my needed repairs. He was friendly, attentive and explained each repair before he did them. Also, as he's basically driving around in his own mini-plumbing supply shop, there was no additional time needed to go buy parts becasue he already had them. His pricing was very fair and I would have called him again except he doesn't travel to Round Rock. Thanks Christian!

Christian called back in good time, scheduled an appointment and showed up on time. Then he diagnosed the problem and came up with the least expensive solution to our leaky under-sink disposal. He carefully explained each step and checked that the job was well done. When there was still a slight leak, he trimmed the appropriate under-sink pipes to properly align them. Once that was done, no more leaks. Totally wonderful and we will use him again when the next problem arises.

My water heater went out and Christian was able to squeeze me in that next morning. He was prompt and very helpful!  I would recommend him to anyone who needs a plumber.

Christian was prompt in returning my phone calls. He was also very upfront about ways to help bring down the cost of replacing my toilet. He is very professional and courteous. The job was done quickly and beautifully. I would use this company again and recommend him to my family and friends for any future plumbing needs.

Christian saved my Thanksgiving!!!

My kitchen sink backed up the day before Thanksgiving. Of course, I was cooking for both my family & my boyfriend's family. So I needed a working kitchen sink fast. In a panic, I called 10 plumbing companies that either weren't working that day or couldn't send anyone out to help me before I finally called Adept Plumbing.

Christian worked me into his schedule and came out the same day -- the day before Thanksgiving! He figured out the problem, installed a new disposal & taught me how to use it properly so I wouldn't have problems in the future. I had lots of questions, & he genuinely didn't mind that I was watching & learning over his shoulder. I really appreciate the level of customer service that he provided. I won't be calling 10 other plumbers when I have a plumbing problem in the future -- I'll just be calling Adept Plumbing.

Last Month, I was in the process of fixing some items in our rental property in Belterra in prep for its market sale and requested Adept Pluming to change out the kitchen sink drain connection collar. I had used Adept several times before on other issues, from installing a whole house water treatment softener unit to replacing a hot water heater and other plumbing problems. The response and service was always the same, 5 Star, in every respect from time of arrival to completion of the work. Christian Sage, the Owner of Adept Plumbing, is highly capable of solving those unforeseen issues in the fix and repair plumbing business, while he is on-site, as long as he has the tools and parts to accomplish the job. The Kitchen Drain Collar was removed and replaced in less than an hour.

I mentioned that I had a GE built-in BBQ equipment (11 years old) issue that was not usable from years of renter neglect, located on the back porch patio. Christian looked at it, as I was thinking demolition, and he said it's fixable, if new replacement burners are available. He readily found the available burner parts on-line for me and told me If I got the new burner manifold parts, he would do the work to replace the existing burners and get the unit back in operation again. I got the new burners and Christian got the entire unit capabilities/functions working again and back in operation. Christian's cost, one hour of his labor @ $150. Anyone that has dealt with built-in BBQ units, knows these are expensive units to purchase and deal with, as reasonable BBQ service folks are really hard to find, especially for repairs.

If you need a plumber to install, repair or replace any of your plumbing needs or anything that requires Mechanical/LG/Propane technical trade capability in the field, at a reasonable cost, and quality work, Christian Sage of Adept Plumbing is your man.

On Monday morning we were scrambling to find a plumber who could help with a gas leak AND a leaking toilet (happy Monday!!) and all the plumbers were of course dealing with very busy schedules. But Christian called me back, moved his schedule around and came to address the gas leak!!!! Bless him!!! He showed up 5 minutes after we talked and solved my problem, thoroughly checking all of the gas lines in our house. By the time he left we were able to go back in and breathe!!

He also fixed our toilet and gave us all sorts of solutions and tips.

Christian is my new favorite plumber and I totally recommend him!

I called on Monday to make sure the email I'd sent via his website on Sunday got through.  He said I don't know, I don't check my email unless someone calls me and tells me they sent me an email.  I told him we needed a bid on a sewer line replacement (which is listed on his website) and he said he doesn't do that anymore.  When I asked if he had anyone he's recommend, he told me a phone number.  I guess I could have asked for the name of the business he was recommending so there would be some clarity, but I gave up at that point.

My hot water heater started leaking badly and after going 'round and 'round with my home warranty company's plumbers I gave Christian a call.  The other guys either wouldn't call me back, didn't want to come way out to Dripping, or saw where the water heater was located and decided it was too much work.

I left a message for Christian and he called me back within a few hours.  We probably discussed the issue for 15-20 minutes. He wanted to make sure I had properly shutdown the heater to avoid any water damage.  He gave me a ballpark price, then later that evening e-mailed me a quote. The quote was a little more after he sourced the replacement, but he made sure to fully explain why.  I was cool with it.

He promised to be able to fit me the next afternoon.  Awesome.  He contacted me when he was on his way. He arrived with the new heater and the two of us were able to strong-arm the old one out and the new one in.  I'm glad he was cool letting me assist instead of paying for a 2nd guy -- this was definitely a two-man job.

The price was exactly what I had agreed too. This guy works hard and values his customers.  If I need a pro plumber again, I'm calling Christian.

We've had Christian to the house three times now. He works quickly and gives us what I think is a very fair price. He's spent a lot of time on the phone with us and even Skyped with me (at my request) so that he could assess the extent of a job before he came over. He really tries to fit us into his schedule as quickly as possible. I like to recommend him to my friends and family.

Christian was great. I needed my main line pressure reducing valve replaced. Called him on Friday afternoon based solely on Yelp reviews for plumbers in my area, he answered the phone himself, and came out within the hour. 10 minutes and the valve was replaced and I once again have good water flow to my house. Reasonably priced and walked me through what he was doing as he did the replacement. Highly recommend!

Christian was my hero yesterday!! He came by to help me with a clogged sink, a dripping sink, replaced my kitchen faucet AND replaced the garbage disposal. All of this within an hour!!! Even though he was hustling to get all of this done for me, he took the time to explain what he was doing and gave me tips for how I can do some preventive maintenance on my own. I highly recommend!

I had Christian out yet again last week. This time for a septic line full of roots. I had actually had a few other plumbers give their opinion on what needed to be done and after telling Christian their view he set me straight. Rather than dig down and patch the broken piece of pipe we needed to dig up and expose the entire pipe to determine where the stress which originally cracked the pipe was, replace/repair the pipe and then make adjustments in the pipe to elevate the stress that caused the break in the first place.

Christian and his crew showed up early. His helpers spent all day digging up my yard and Christian spend many hours working his magic speaking a combination of English, French and Spanish. He's quiet the interesting man.

All said and done they were there all day, roots were removed, pipes were repaired, sand was put in to surround the pipe and salt was packed around it as well as plastic to keep future roots away. And for piece of mind we ran the camera through the pipe one more time so that I could see everything was good.

The best part: Christian's initial quote was cheap. As much as some of the other plumbers ballpark estimates for patching. When the bill arrived it came out to 30% less than the quote. Not bad for having work done 8 hours.

Hopefully I won't need to call on Christian again anytime soon but any plumbing need I or any of my friends may need will get his number.

This guy is amazing! Came out quickly and fixed problem very fast. Also very reasonable on his rates. I will call him every time for any plumbing needs.

Christian is very honest, friendly, professional and knowledgeable! He came the same week I called and fixed my issues very quickly. Very highly recommend!

I've used Adept 4 different times over 10 years and Christian always provides an excellent level of service at a fair price.  

My experience with other plumbing firms has been very negative with outrageous estimates and overstated issues.  I will never use anyone but Adept.  

Christian is a perfectionist, honest and extremely hard working.  He even tutored me on how to fix my bathroom faucet so I could save a few bucks.

I just used Christian to install a new kitchen faucet after having new counter-tops and sink installed, and he did a great job at a reasonable price.  He had to adjust the piping because the new sink was a different size, and he stayed until he got it just right.  I will definitely use him again.  I trust him.

Christian is wonderful.  I highly recommend him and Adept Plumbing.  He's professional, personable, punctual, straightforward and best of all honest.  His prices are also very reasonable.  He is very skilled at plumbing and can fix just about anything.  We've had him come fix many plumbing issues and he was able to easily repair it all.  He has replaced our water heater, a pipe in our house, and a couple of pipes outside.  He does it all, promptly and honestly.  We call him every time we have any plumbing issues.

The greatest compliment I can give to Adept Plumbing is to recommend him to friends, family, and acquaintances and I have done this regularly for 10 years.  

The owner, Christian, has managed plumbing issues in three of my homes, two of which I use as rentals.  He was referred to me 10 years ago after I'd had two other master plumbers at one of my homes and where neither were able to resolve the problem.

As a master plumber, Christian has solved problems in my homes related to water pressure, shower cracks, commode issues, leaky sinks, even an outside faucet.   If I have a plumbing problem that is outside of his realm of expertise, he lets me know right away.   If it's not something that can be discovered until he's onsite, he figures out who can repair it and makes sure you get connected to the contact.

Either way, you get the solution you need to get the plumbing problem fixed!

Side note:   It is best to schedule him during a *time period* versus a specific time.  Christian is a one-man operation and he sometimes runs late based on the issues he's solving for the appointment in front of yours.   If you can practice patience, he's worth the wait.   Plus, he never leaves a customer's house without making sure their problem is fixed.  Just know he'll do for you what he's doing for the customer ahead of you and that is to solve your plumbing problem before he leaves!

Truly a no fuss transaction.  The day I called, he was able to swing by between jobs, assess the situation, tell me what parts to order and to get them under warranty through Kohler and Delta's customer warranty programs (NO COST!!).  He didn't charge me for the assessment!  When the parts came in, Christian was out within 1 day and did the repairs.  I find his prices very reasonable and his ability to ensure the parts are to me from the dealer saved me about $200.  Loved that he wanted to get job done quickly and well.

There just aren't enough stars available.  We have been using Christian's services for at least 10 years.  Thanks to him, our 75 year old house remained habitable; and he fixed the plumbing in the house we just bought to meet his high standards as well.

Once we had an emergency on a Sunday morning and couldn't reach him, so we called one of the 24/7 franchise plumbing companies.  Luckily, Christian called us just as the other plumber was telling us it would cost $2,000 to fix the problem.  Christian made us ask the guy if he had performed a simple test (can't remember what) before making this estimate.  The other plumber stormed off in a huff.  Christian told my husband to shut off the hot water and wait for him.  He came by on Monday, fixed the problem, and saved us a fortune.

Ok Austin  is crazy building and finding contractors and workers has been difficult. I found Christian thru Yelp initially. He called before coming at our agreed time and had a van with every conceivable part. No running to the store for this guy. Hey was polite fast and professional. Emailed receipt and boom was done. I wish all my the people I've used for this remodel were this good!

SPECTACULAR!!!!  He fixes every problem we've ever had, and he does it for a fair price.  Plus the French accent is cool.

Christian is great. I used him for the first time recently, based on his stellar reviews. We were moving into an older home and had several things to take care of. He was fast, honest, did great work, and cleaned up thoroughly afterwards. He also fixed a few things that I had done incorrectly myself, without me asking. I highly recommend Adept Plumbing.

Christian is great.  We had a clogged plumbing line - discovered on a Sunday.  Based on Yelp reviews, my wife called and left a message.  Christian called back in the evening and said he would be at our home the next morning.  He was actually a few minutes early.  He diagnosed the situation - had to bring his snake machine, remove a toilet and proceeded to unclog.  He repaired the toilet mount that I had broken by over tightening - don't do that - use shims to stop the rocking.  He cleaned up and gave us some good advice on how to do some preventative  steps to prevent a recurrence in our 30+ year old house.  Found a plumber.  Could not recommend someone higher.

When I first called Christian and described my problem (an apparent leaking hose in kitchen sink pull-out sprayer), he suggested a few things I could check and maybe fix myself that would obviate having him come out and charging me for work. I found his approach really refreshing and honest. After trying his suggestions, confirming that it was a hose leak, and deciding that I was not about to contort my aching back and knees crawling under the sink and trying to reach up behind the disposal, I called him to set up an appointment. When I told him it was a Delta faucet, he told me to call Delta (even gave me the number) and, because they have a lifetime guarantee, request a free replacement hose. When the replacement arrived, I again called Christian to schedule an appointment and he was able to come by the next day to install the new hose. He also pointed out some things to do to maximize the life of other parts of the kitchen sink. Highly recommended and will be the first plumber I call if I have any problems.

Christian is efficient, honest and dependable and I truly believe he can fix anything. We've referred him to others and I never, ever do that. I'm always afraid they won't have the same experience. With Christian it's a no brainer, the man knows what he's doing.

Very personable guy who knows his business.  I've been looking for a good plumber forever and I believe I have finally found one I can trust and who knows what he's doing.  His price to fix a major leak in my water line was very reasonable and the repair was completed in a timely manner.  Christian had to dig through a lot of rock and mud to get to the source of the leak but he did so in 95 degree heat with no complaints.  He cleaned up the entire work area before he left.  I couldn't be happier with the quality of his work.  I'll be using him from now on whenever the need arises for a plumber.

Had a crack in a toilet tank that leaked water into my bathroom floor.  Called Christian at Adept and he came out the same day and took care of everything.  This guy is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly.  He even showed me some tips on how to do things myself.  I would highly recommend Christian for any of your plumbing needs no matter how big or small.  Thanks Christian!!

I have had a couple of not so great experiences with plumbers so I was very excited about Christian's work. He suggested solutions, installed new fixtures in tub and sink, fixed a running toilet, turned it into a dual flush system, calked--it all turned out beautifully. I am so excited to have everything like new and at a reasonable price.

I have been calling upon Christian's services for the past 3 years.  He comes out the same day, he is very reasonable and focuses on doing quality work.  Good plumbers hard to find, he's a good one.  Agree with other reviewers, the french accent and whistling are a bonus ;-).

Christian is great to work with. He's smart. He calls when he's running late. He takes care of the problem on the first call.  He gets the job done!  Put his number on speed dial.

Very pleased with Christian's response time to my request and his ability to fit me in to his busy schedule.  Great work and reasonable fees. Would definitely recommend him to my friends and family.

Adept Plumbing run by Christian should be the first and last call you make for any of your plumbing needs. He's honest, fair and FAST! Service with a smile, charm and wit. No need to look any further, Adept Plumbing is THE best plumbing service in town!  The French accent is easy on the ears too!

Christian showed up on time, did great work and charged a fair price. What more could anyone want?

Called Adept to get a bid for a complete re-pipe on my house. He was not willing to give me an estimate for free, wanting to charge me for providing the bid. Having worked with multiple plumbers for job of this size it seems crazy to me that Adept could not provide a bid without charging.

We love Christian!  We've used his plumbing skills for several years now and have never been disappointed.   He's prompt, courteous, honest and is genuinely interested in solving the problem you have hired him to fix.  I recommend him to anyone who asks and will continue to do so.  So far, he's helped us with a very problematic water heater, two stuck faucets, clogs and an condensate line issue.  Good work all around and fair pricing.

At the risk of not being able to get him when I need him, Christian is the best and most reasonable plumber I've found in Austin.

Christian is as good as it gets!  What started out as a mid-level plumbing problem, turned out to be a MAJOR plumbing issue.  Christian responded quickly, was very professional and worked until the problem was fixed.  His price was very fair.     While I hope I don't need a plumber for a long time, Christian is the GO TO man when I do.

I've asked Christian to handle a variety of plumbing problems over the years and he's always done an excellent job for me.  His manner is direct and professional, and he's a well-traveled, interesting guy to talk to.  He is a master of the trade, for sure, and a very smart problem solver.  His rate is fair, especially considering what you get. He works efficiently, with a well stocked truck, and I believe he often saves me money by repairing rather than replacing.  I really enjoy doing business with him, even when I'm the one who's always paying!
