Book a visit01 — About the shop
Clarke Kent Plumbing has been locally owned and run in Austin since 1986. Our plumbers are trained to diagnose the problem and then educate you about your options — no pressure, no jargon, just the fix explained straight. Manufacturers have selected us for factory certification on commercial boiler start-ups and residential digital shower installs, which is a fancy way of saying we keep learning long after the apprenticeship ends. But the part we are proudest of is simpler: regardless of when you call, you get a real person. We sell service as well as plumbing. What matters to us is building trust — one customer at a time.

02 — What we fix
Everything from a dripping faucet to a full repipe. Leaks, clogs, low water pressure, running toilets, fixture installs — diagnosed on site, explained in plain English, fixed the same visit whenever the parts allow.
Downtime costs money, so our commercial crews are built for speed: in, fixed, out. Restaurants, offices, retail and multi-unit buildings across the Austin area.
Slow drains, backups, and sewer line trouble. We clear it, camera it if needed, and tell you exactly what we see — then lay out the options from spot repair to replacement.
Tank and tankless installs, repairs, and tune-ups. Cold shower at 6am is an emergency in our book — and yes, that is a same-day call.
Burst pipes do not check the clock. Nights, weekends, holidays — a real person picks up and a truck rolls. Mention our service coupons when you schedule.
03 — Recent work
Customer called four plumbers on a Friday night after the water line gave out. We were the only shop that showed up — on site Saturday at 9am, water back on before lunch, priced fairly for a weekend call. That is the whole business model, really: answer the phone, show up, fix it.
We are factory certified for residential digital shower installations — the kind with thermostatic controls and recirculation that most shops will not touch. Tear-out to tile-ready in two days, calibrated to the degree, with the homeowner walked through every setting before we left.
Commercial boiler start-ups are one of the jobs manufacturers trust us to perform under factory certification. Commissioned, balanced, and documented — the building manager got a start-up report, not a shrug.
04 — How a visit goes
A real person, 24/7. We take the details, give you a window, and tell you what to shut off if water is going where it should not.
The tech finds the actual cause — not the symptom — and shows you. Camera footage, pressure readings, whatever it takes.
We educate you on the options and price each one before touching a wrench. You pick. No surprises on the invoice.
We fix it, test it, and leave the place like we were never there — boot covers on, work area wiped down.

06 — Asked a lot
Yes. Nights, weekends, holidays — a real person picks up and dispatches. Emergency rates apply after hours, and we tell you that upfront on the call.
Always. We diagnose first, then give you flat-rate options in writing. You approve one before any work begins — that is the rule, not the exception.
Both. Homes, restaurants, offices, retail, multi-unit — the commercial crews are scheduled for speed because downtime costs you money.
