PLUMBER — AUSTIN, TEXAS

Pipes fixed right,the first time.

We're a working plumber's shop in Austin — not a call center, not a franchise script. When you call, you talk to someone who held a wrench that morning.

Drains, leaks, water heaters, fixtures, sewer lines, repipes: the everyday plumbing of houses and small businesses, done in-house. You get a written price before we start, photos of what we found, and a floor that looks like we were never there.

Austin's hard water, summer-baked attic water heaters, shifting clay soil under sewer lines — we deal with all three every week, so nothing about your job surprises us.

"Show up on time, fix it properly, clean up after yourself. That's the whole business plan."
— THE SHOP MOTTO, TAPED INSIDE THE TRUCK

02 / SERVICES

Everything below,
done in-house.

S.01

Drain cleaning

Sinks, tubs, showers, main lines. Auger where an auger works, hydro-jet where it doesn't, camera-check after so the clog stays gone.

S.02

Leak detection & repair

Meter and acoustic tracing, the smallest opening that solves it, proper copper or PEX repair. Slab leaks rerouted overhead when that beats breaking your floor.

S.03

Water heaters

Tank and tankless install, annual flushes, anode rods, elements, thermostats. Sized to your household, not to our inventory.

S.04

Fixtures & faucets

Drips, running toilets, new installs, cartridge and flapper swaps, low-flow upgrades that feel like upgrades. You pick the finish.

S.05

Sewer & repipe

Camera inspections with video you keep, spot repairs, whole-home repipes for houses still on galvanized pipe — copper or PEX, your choice.

S.06

Emergency calls

Burst pipes, water where it shouldn't be, no hot water before guests arrive. Call — if we can't get there fast, we'll talk you through shutting the water off.

03 / HOW A JOB GOES

Four steps.
No step five.

STEP 1

You call

A person answers, asks what's happening, and gives you an honest window. Active leaks get same-day priority.

STEP 2

We look

On-site diagnosis with photos of what we found. Jargon translated, options explained, no pressure.

STEP 3

You approve one number

A written price for the whole job. It changes only if the problem changes — and then we stop and talk first.

STEP 4

We work, test, clean up

Shoe covers, drop cloths, everything tested twice, floor broom-clean. Written workmanship warranty in your hand.

04 / GOOD TO KNOW

Asked every week.

How fast can you get here? +

Active leaks and no-hot-water calls get same-day priority. Everything else usually books within the week — it depends on where you are and the truck's route. We'd rather give you an honest window than a fake "we'll be right there."

Do you charge for estimates? +

Small repairs get a price over the phone when the problem is clear. Bigger work gets a free on-site look and a written quote. Mystery-leak diagnostics are a flat sample $89, credited in full if you have us do the repair.

Will you sell me a heater I don't need? +

No. We'd rather flush your heater and swap the anode rod — cheaper for you, easier for us. When a tank is genuinely done, we'll show you the rust and the serial number and let the evidence talk.

What does Austin's hard water do? +

It scales water heaters, clogs aerators and showerheads, and shortens cartridges and elements. A yearly heater flush and a vinegar soak for aerators handle most of it.

Can I supply my own fixtures? +

Yes — buy the faucet you love and we'll install it. We warranty our labor either way; we just can't warranty a part we didn't supply, and we'll say so before we start.

Do you warranty the work? +

Every job leaves with a written workmanship warranty on the labor. If our repair fails, we come back and make it right — in writing.
