Common Questions
What common plumbing issues do you handle for Austin homes?
We frequently help Austin residents with two common local plumbing problems: toilet seal leaks and kitchen grease clogs. These issues are particularly prevalent in our area due to aging home infrastructure and cooking habits. For toilet seal leaks, we inspect and replace worn wax rings or flange components to prevent water damage. For kitchen grease clogs, we use appropriate methods to clear drains without damaging pipes. With our experience since 1971 and serving Austin since 1987, we understand how local conditions affect plumbing systems.
How does your time-and-material pricing work for plumbing repairs?
We operate on a time-and-material basis, charging $250 per hour for labor plus the cost of materials. This means you pay for the actual time spent on your job rather than a fixed bid. We find this approach often costs less than piece work because there's no padding for unexpected complications. As a working contractor with decades of experience, I can efficiently diagnose and fix problems. The hourly rate covers the entire hour, so we can address multiple issues during a single visit when possible.
Do you offer plumbing inspections for preventive maintenance?
Yes, we provide thorough plumbing inspections as part of our services. Given our experience dating back to 1971, we know what to look for in Austin homes. An inspection can identify potential issues like developing leaks, corrosion, or drainage problems before they become emergencies. We check fixtures, pipes, drains, and connections throughout your system. This preventive approach can save you money and inconvenience by addressing small problems early. Our traditional methods and hands-on experience ensure we spot issues that might be missed with less thorough approaches.
