Small crew, plain talk, written prices. We clear drains, fix and install water heaters, track down leaks, and handle the fixtures and toilets that keep a house running. Scroll for the full picture — every rate below is a sample so you can plan ahead.
Koala Cooling & Plumbing works across Austin on the calls every house eventually makes: the kitchen sink that drains like it is thinking about it, the shower that never quite gets hot, the toilet that runs all night, the water bill that jumped for no reason you can see.
We diagnose before we quote, and we quote in writing before we start. Parts, labor, haul-away — one number. If the scope changes halfway through, we stop and re-quote; we do not just keep going and surprise you at the end.
Austin's hard water is rough on heaters and cartridges, and plenty of older streets still run pipe that is living on borrowed time. We stock the truck for all of it, lay drop cloths, wear shoe covers, and test everything we touched before we leave.
Example lineup — final scope confirmed on the job. All prices SAMPLE.
Sinks, tubs, showers — cleared at the source and flow-tested before we leave. Repeat clogs get a camera look.
Tank and tankless. Lukewarm water, dead pilots, rust tint, tanks past their years — diagnosed first, then repaired or sized and replaced.
Acoustic and thermal tracing finds it without opening walls at random. Small hole, clean patch.
Faucets, showerheads, valves, supply lines. Set, sealed, pressure-tested; packaging goes with us.
Running, weak flush, rocking base, floor leaks. Flappers, fill valves, wax rings — most done same visit.
Dead disposals swapped in under an hour. Whole-house slowdowns get a sewer camera — you watch the footage with us before any quote.
Condenser and coil cleaning, capacitors, contactors, refrigerant checks for split systems and heat pumps.
The cheapest insurance a tank gets in hard-water country. Sediment out, anode inspected, years added.
"The kitchen sink gurgles." "The water never gets hot." "There's a stain growing on the ceiling." Plain words are enough — we will bring the right parts, text you a two-hour window, and give you one written price before we start. Same-week slots most weeks; urgent leaks jump the line.
