Mickey and team are stress busters! I've been a customer since 2018. They recently helped me with a clogged drain, leaky shower, water heater, and expansion tank issues. I've tried to use other plumbers and I come right back to Plumbinator after I realize how dishonest many of these companies can be. I've had other plumbing companies tell me that something needs to be replaced, then call Plumbinator and find out that the part is still good. I've been quoted insanely high prices by other plumbing companies, then call Plumbinator and save hundreds for the service that fixes the problem and that lasts. On some things, Plumbinator's prices are thousands less for the same outcome. No upselling. The bottom line is this company operates by an old school, honest, excellent service, business model that is getting harder and harder to find with the increasing greed and third-world level scamming culture on the rise in America. Plumbinator is the only company I'll use for my plumbing needs. read more

Mickey and crew have saved us so many times. We won't use anyone else for our plumbing needs, and with multiple houses over the years, all built in the early '70s, that's been often. They're fast, helpful, and knowledgeable. You can't go wrong with the Plumbinator. read more

The Plumbinator - Plumbing Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Mickey and the plumbers at Plumbinator were great. I have a condo with Kitec plumbing which occasionally "bursts" and needs repairs. The crew was quick to assess my leak, gather the necessary parts and fix the problem. Their knowledge was excellent, they were extremeley neat, they did a great job and the pricing was extremely fair. Thank you guys. read more

We have used the Plumbinator for years now, and have been very happy with them. We have used them to do simple jobs like clearing the sewer line at one of our rentals. We also used them on a very large job of redoing the sewer lines under a two bathroom property due to foundation settling. They communicated well throughout the whole process and they were happy to send photos of the whole sewer lines under the house when we asked for it. Their work is great, they are easy to get ahold of whenever we need them, and they always go above and beyond with us. If there is ever an issue they communicate well and have even come back out to the house on a weekend to make sure everything is right! Nobody wants to deal with plumbing issues, but sometimes with a rental things happen, and I highly recommend this family business to help fix things up when they do happen. They really stand by their work and that is something that I really appreciate. read more

Always excellent service. Had a cartridge, valve and new shower trim kit installed Erick and Irving were awesome and went above and beyond to make sure I was 100% satisfied!!!! Great job y'all! read more

Long story short is that the Plumbinators are the bee's knees. They just wrapped up their 4th or 5th job at our house. Plumbinators have always been communicative, honest, quick, & affordable. After the first job they did I didn't even bother with other plumbers. They've tackled everything from small things to replacing our water heater. I never thought I'd feel so passionately about a plumbing business but here I am writing this review. I hate having to call a plumber, but I'm really glad we've got a small business like them we can rely on. read more

The team was very upfront with both pricing as well as what was needed for our project. They provided excellent service and completed the tub placement as requested! read more

(A novel of a review follows. The short is: The Plumbinator was more affordable, honest, faster, and friendlier than any plumbing company I've ever used. They saved me $60,000 on a problem that didn't exist. They didn't try to sell me on things I didn't need, and they truly stand behind their work. This is one of the best small businesses I've ever interacted with.) For years I struggled and failed to find a go-to plumber. First, I tried big companies I knew from billboards and trucks around town. They were painfully expensive and always sent out a kid with minimal training. One advised me to "just use chemical drain cleaner" on my 60-year-old cast-iron pipes. Pass. Then, I tried a couple of little guys. They were always hard to schedule/communicate with. And one, who showed up to my job excessively stoned, also thought it was a savvy business move to literally scream at me when I asked for an explanation about a line item on the bill. Next, I found a mid-sized company that came out and gave me the worst of the worst news in the world of wastewater: there was a break in our cast-iron pipes and we needed to get them (all) replaced. They quoted us $60K for the work. Given I didn't have tens of thousands of dollars burning a hole in my pocket, I said I'd have to think about it. In the meantime, I stopped using our washing machine and became intimately familiar with the laundromats in my area. After nearly a year of hauling the family's dirty duds and unmentionables to the laundromat, I finally decided to call another company to see how much this whole plumbing replacement nightmare would run me. I figured best-case scenario I could find someone who would do it for less. I was ready for the worst. (RIP, life savings. Did my kids really need to go to college, anyway?) So imagine my total surprise when The Plumbinator came out and not only told me my cast-iron pipes were fine for their age, but removed a pesky clog that the bigger company told me was a break in the pipes when they scoped my house. After Steve and Eric (two all-around excellent guys) snaked the heck out of my old house, everything ran fine. I could wash my clothes from home again! Still, I asked if they wouldn't mind running the camera to see if they could find any problems in the pipes, knowing that my plumbing was in its golden years. Mickey, the Plumbinator himself, showed up for this. He walked through my house and pointed out potential spots to look out for. He didn't try to sell me on anything. He sat down and talked to me for at least an hour answering questions and talking me through what he saw. And he shared his honest assessment of what he would do if it were his house: wait to replace the plumbing until we start seeing problems. Mickey and his men could easily have just told me I needed to have my pipes replaced. I already knew I was going to have to at some point. But that's not the kind of guy Mickey is. I'm not sure at what magical point in the past it was the default that people stood by their work and would steer you straight with the kind of advice you'd give to your own family, but whenever that time was, Mickey and his guys feel plucked straight from it. If all that weren't enough, you get the bonus that communicating and scheduling with them couldn't be easier. You just text and hear back right away. When a couple minor things popped up that required follow-up around some of the additional projects I had them tackle, I got an immediate text response and the guys were back out within an hour -- even though I said it wasn't urgent. No charge. No bad attitude about being called back out. Just a quick fix and they were on their way. Thanks to Mickey, Steve, and Eric, I finally have a go-to plumber. And when my plumbing does finally meet its inevitable end, there's only one company I would consider calling. read more

I can't say enough how much I appreciate Mickey and his team at The Plumbinator. I had a pinhole leak in the wall and water was leaking into adjoining rooms. Because I've used them in the past, they were the first guys I called. You won't find a more straightforward and honest tradesman, and pricing is incredibly fair. They don't skimp on quality or craftsmanship. I've made the mistake of calling the big name guys in the past, but they were overpriced and pushy. I've got The Plumbinator's number saved in my phone and will always recommend them to my friends. read more

The Plumbinator helped us with a major issue at our house several years ago when other plumbing companies told us we needed a $10k - $15k repair. They were able to complete the repair for a fraction of the other company's estimates and based on this first experience, we decided to call the Plumbinator again for a more recent job. Mickey and his apprentice arrived on schedule and did an awesome job re-routing a broken water line to bring water back into our game room bar and restroom. They showed me everything they were doing and made recommendations for things I could do myself, allowing us to save a lot of money once again. The quality of their work is top notch. We feel very fortunate to have found an honest and professional plumber and I will continue recommending The Plumbinator to my friends and family. We can't thank them enough! read more

Mickey and Jordan did the plumbing for our bathroom remodel. They did an amazing job, taking excellent care of us throughout the process, including dealing with the permits (which is extra difficult in our area) These guys are the real deal - and went the extra mile for us on several occasions. Thank you so much! read more

This review is long overdue. I have called on Mickey more than once to help me fix some plumbing issues. Let's start with the back story that led me to call Mickey: I reside in a home that was built in 2003 (so its not old but its not new). I am the second owner of this home and the previous owners left many of the builder grade facets in the home when I purchased it. There is nothing wrong with that BUT just like anything else after 15 years upgrades need to be done to meet new codes and for esthetic and efficiency purposes. Round One: 2019- I phoned Mickey because it was taking FOR-EV-ER (said in the Sandlot tone) for my hot water in my master bathroom to heat. I had to run my shower for several minutes before it even got warm. What I discovered was that I may need a circulation pump installed. This is because the distance hot water needs to travel is the reason cold water comes out of a shower/sink first. When the faucet is on, hot water is drawn to the sink through your plumbing. Turning it off stops the water but doesn't return it to the water heater. It stays in the pipes and gets cold. The more piping between the water heater and the faucet, the more cold water there is and the longer it takes to get that hot shower water that I needed. My hot water heater like most folks is in the garage and my master bath is all the way on the opposite side of my home (for reference my home is about 2,600 sq. feet but the water heater is outside of the house in the garage, so... add another 355 sq. feet to the 2,600 to account for the garage space) so the water has to travel a bit to get to my shower and get hot). Accordingly, Mickey put in a recirculating pump in for me. Round Two: Fast forward to 2020, I redid my second bathroom because (a) it was outdated (b) I needed to change the shower tub combo to make it a stand up shower to accommodate my house guest for whom the tub is a problem and (c) I required something easier to clean than the current set-up, which was back breaking labor --bending and scrubbing the low profile bathroom tub. Mickey and his team removed my toilet and vanity and moved the drain in the bathroom and piping to accommodate a stand-up shower. The team then put my toilet and new vanity in as well as replaced my broken closet flange. But wait there's more (said in my infomercial voice)...there was an issue with my hot water AGAIN. Mickey and his crew were able to deduce that the thermostat element on my hot water heater was broken. Mickey and his crew have not only taken care of my issues but have educated me on common household plumbing issues. This crew has done great work for me and are honest, trustworthy and reasonably priced. #supportlocal read more

Im way overdue writing this review, so my apologies to The Plumbinator Team. But I still think about the lovely interaction I had with this company after 10 months. This interaction began when my husband and I decided to convert a space in our house for my dog grooming business. I initially found The Plumbinator after searching for women-owned companies. As a woman/home-manager/business owner, I've found it extremely difficult to find tradesmen who don't wreak of misogyny when having to interact with females. I've been talked down to, lied to, and insulted in my own home on numerous occasions. So it was reassuring to schedule my appointment with Wendy, the Plumbinator Matriarch, and be treated with respect and understanding. Better yet, when her husband and son (don't we all love supporting a local family business) came to assist with our project, I was all the more grateful to discover Mickey, The Master Plumbinator, a very kind and respectful professional. He not only did a phenomenal job with our project, but he also took the time to share with me some words of encouragement and wisdom for the start of my new business. He spoke of valuing ourselves and the work we put into the world - of not allowing others to undervalue our skills. It was sage advice, and words that spoke to the Plumbinator's team's master craftsmanship, timely resolution, and fair but not "cheap" (because we all know we get what we pay for) pricing. read more

My neighbor shared that his lawn was flooding though it hasn't rained for ages and his water meter was not spinning. Ours was. We had no idea were the leak was but knew (because everything was turned off and the meter was still advancing), that we had a leak. I was worried because a leak is an open ticket. You start paying when the plumber arrives and they can take their time as you are on the hook. The Plumbinator not only went straight to work, they found and repaired the leak in no time! As a woman in Texas, I was expecting to be milked. They were honest, professional, and respectful. Ladies, this is the plumbing outfit for you. They will not take advantage of you and will do a first rate job. Can't recommend them highly enough. read more

These guys are reliable, friendly, courteous and fair!! They have fixed a number of different plumbing problems in our house and have been super professional all three times. Highly recommend them!! read more

I've now had this shower going for about a year, and it's my only new plumbing in the entire house. After 1 year of use, the pressure stopped on just the hot side and just in this section of new pipe. The hot sinks further down the line worked fine. New cartridge didnt work, there was a clog in the new hot line. Called plumbinator and they said they couldn't come look for 2 weeks. My house is on the market and I couldn't wait 2 weeks. 4 other plumbers came in to look within a couple days and it wasnt even their original work. Sure there's a chance something got stuck and had nothing to do with the install, but to not backup your own work in a reasonable time to at least check is not cool. read more

The Plumbinator - Plumbing Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

I had them out to give me an estimate to fix a problem with my clothes dryer vent. The company charged $150.00 dollars just to come out and look. Spent five minutes with me, told me the problem was the dryer and not the vent line flooding. They were wrong! I bought a new dryer as they recommended, installed it today and I have the same problem! The issue is water getting into my vent line from outside the home....a problem I diagnosed. The company wanted $250 dollars to use the borescope to inspect the line. I very politely declined. (Told them to pound sand, as I can buy the camera for less than $60 dollars online. Bottom line: If you have any other choices, I recommend not using this company for any plumbing related work. read more

Charged me over $500 to reinstall a toilet. I've had work done before by the company and the costs were considerably lower.

Replaced two water heaters in the attic And we're prompt and courteous. I now have a wonderful hot water pressure. Will do business with again. read more

The Plumbinator - Water heaters in attic after installation - Plumbing Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

I've used these guys twice now for a water main issue and they are great. They do work for the customer and offer a fair price. I say fair because they do honest quality work and should be fairly paid for it. The builders planted three trees directly over my water main and the roots were causing leaks. Obviously, removing the trees would solve the problems, but my wife really wanted to keep the magnolias and they were beautiful. instead of repairing the leak the option was to run a new line a few feet away from the trees. It was hard work given all the roots, but they got the job done. Used quality parts and didn't cut corners. I'd rather have a plumber do a quality job, than to have a cheap hack job. read more

Beneath The Slab... The Final Frontier... These are the voyages of our home-shaped spacecraft. At least, during the pandemic, that's how I've explained it to my kids. We're on a ship, we have limited ability to take shuttles to places, and only at great need. Our food is delivered via Underway Replenishment, and we're on patrol until further orders come in from Starfleet. Or something. Well, we had a minor problem in engineering. To the tune of 30 gallons an hour. The 3/4" pipe between our utility room and our guest bathroom had ruptured... under the slab. Enter Eric Stolle Plumbing and The Plumbinator. This amazing tag team of technical experts in the plumbing profession put us right, quickly and without the need to crack into our foundation. I cannot say enough about the timeliness, courtesy or professionalism of both of these companies, and how they exchanged information and expertise to take what might have been a much more extended (and expensive!) process and get it down to a couple of visits and a minimal disruption of water services. When we're telling the kids to pretend we're on a spaceship to make the quarantine more bearable, we kind of need to avoid as much, um, "life support" failure as possible. And these enterprising engineering entrepreneurs made sure the problem was fixed with as little of that as was practicable. My night owl son pretty much slept through what little water disruption there was. Folks, if you spring a leak in your... umm... warp core... or something... you can't go far wrong than to employ either or both of these outfits to come put you right again. Mickey The Plumbinator helped us solve a massive issue when we were two weeks in as foster parents, and Eric from Eric Stolle Plumbing has handled issues for us for years as well. In this day and age, it's rare to find companies you can trust who will not steer you wrong. Both companies are dedicated to ensuring you have the best fix for the minimal price, they've got the kind of integrity that gives peace of mind when the rest of the world is going crazy. I'm grateful to these two companies for getting us back to where we needed to be, when home becomes office and schoolhouse, and we can't afford to be without the necessities of life in our little pretend spaceship. Now, off to the galley to feed the crew. Live Long and Prosper, and may the Force be with you! read more

We hired Mickey and his team out to check out potential leaks in our property. Our house has been on the market and under contract, with the buyers concerned with potential leaks. Mickey came out same day, and was so diligent and professional in his tests and assessment. He clearly has decades of experience and was a top specialist in his field. Mickey was able to validate every concern we had to rule out non-issues, pinpoint real problems and answer all our questions with patience along the way explaining and showing us every step of the process. He went out of his way to explain the situation to potential buyers to give us all the peace of mind that the property was good to go. This could have potentially gotten into a really confrontational situation between us and the buyers but Mickey handled it like a pro and made both sides at ease. I would highly recommend Mickey for any specialist plumber needs as he's not only a highly skilled master plumber, but also one of integrity and I would trust him with any of my future properties any day! read more

We just moved into a house that needed a few maintenance issues addressed. After calling the Pluminator, they put us on the books for a visit in a few days. Once at the house they replaced a few outdoor faucets and addressed a leaky tub faucet. They explained what the problems were, how they planned to fix them, and answered any other questions we had. We noticed a few days later that our replacement faucet was not functioning properly, so they sent someone out the same day and fixed the problem without any additional cost and even explained what caused the problem. Overall we are pleased with their services, and we plan to contact them for future plumbing issues! They are very personable and easy to talk to unlike some other professionals who don't seem to care if you know what they're doing or not. We also really love that they're a family-run business! read more

I contacted The Plumbinator of Round Rock over the phone and asked if I could get an estimate for some water hammer issue I was having. She was completely informed from me that I have high water pressure and would need a pressure relief valve installed. The lady on the phone scheduled an appointment and NEVER mentioned there would be a service fee. To my shock I got an invoice the next day. I called to ask why I got an invoice and was NEVER told there would be a $50.00 service fee. The lady was rude when I was asking about why I was not told up front about any service fees. In fact, I asked why she did not tell me and her reply was, "I would have told you if you would have asked." I tried to explain that I think it is her responsibility to inform me and not me ask her. At this point, I got hung up on. I would have politely declined and went on a search for other companies had she done her job and informed me about a service fee. This is worse than a hidden fee. This is a NEVER told fee. read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Mickey, Cesar and Steve did our entire home's plumbing - replacing all of our old cast iron with new pipe. I could write a novel about how much we love these guys, but we are truly grateful for the work they did, Mickey's constant communication with us, and just the entire process. If you are looking for a plumber for any job - from just a toilet repair to an entire home, these are the plumbers for you. They also saved us over $10k compared to competitors. read more

Plumbinator was quick to respond to my water heater emergency. Replacement was flawless, clean install and cost affordable. Plumbinator team was friendly, explained all options. read more

This guys are awesome. One of our water heaters started leaking last week. We call a few plumbing companies to get quotes and the Plumbinator was by far the most affordable. We set up an appointment to get the water heater replace the next day. They came and did the job very clean, fast and professional. Local business, family owned and operated. So happy with their job that next week we will schedule to get the second water heater replace too. Thank you!!! read more

I recently called The Plumbinator for service because of the positive reviews I read. Good choice! Mickey and his team were polite, on-time, and stuck with their initial quote. While working on my job they really went the extra mile and made sure our plumbing/related needs were well met! Also - my job had to be spread over several dates so I had to call for the appointments and never once got stuck in voice mail or put on 'ignore' - I had a real person to speak with! Now we know who to call for plumbing - and would recommend them to anyone! read more

These guys are top notch! My water heater broke on a Sunday. I called them Monday morning and Corey and team arrived within a couple hours. By that afternoon I had a brand new water heater installed at a reasonable price. A few days later I had an unrelated issue they came back to investigate. They fixed it in five minutes and didn't charge me for the visit. This is unheard of!! If you want a fair and thorough plumbing service, call the Plumbinator. They were recommended by a friend and I will enthusiastically recommend them to everyone!! read more

WOW! When you have a leak, water is seeping from the side of your home over the slab, water finding its way into your home... CALL.THE.PLUMBINATOR! I called, they came as soon as the could and once I met them at the house, we introduced each other, we shook hands and in a flash I was watching the A-Team going after the leak with equipment of all types and a problem solving team- they were like plumbing forensic scientists. They capped the pipe that night and came back, ASAP to finish the job. Problem has been resolved. Very good and fair pricing, also. Mickey, Tim, Steve and Chad were a great choice for us! read more

Wow, seriously impressed with these folks! We actually wanted to use the Plumbinator back in September when we had a serious clog in the pipes running under our house, but they had a bit of a wait and the issue was urgent. So, the next time we had an issue, we called them and they were able to come next day (aka today!) Embarrassingly, our issue was extremely small and we probably should have/could have fixed it ourselves (I panicked after our major issues a few months ago). Because of the 5-minutes they spent here, they did not even charge us. They were competent, friendly, and didn't make my husband feel like an idiot for something we should have found. We will absolutely, 100% use them again for future plumbing issues. read more

I'm so disappointed with this company. We had used them in the past and they had done a great job so we called them back to help us with a small issue we were having with our shower head. They came out, made our problem worse and then refused to come back out to fix it. So very frustrated and disappointed. Now I'm back on the search for yet another plumber... read more

I just wanted to give a quick shout to Mickie and the plumbinator crew. These guys are simply AWESOME!!! I had a leak return, called them and they came out the next day and fixed the leak that same day, with no charge. I really trust these guys and would not hesitate to recommend them to my closest friends and family. I will definitely call them if I have plumbing needs in the future. read more

I just wanted to let you know we loved Mickey. He was GREAT!!! He took care of us for a very reasonable price and did great work. He took the time at every step to make sure everything was like it should be. Then he double and tripled checked every thing for confirmation. I will recommend him to everyone I know and call him again if I need too. read more

Fast, friendly and reasonable. I've called twice with two different instances and both have been resolved very quickly.

Mickey and his crew are top notch and would be at the top of my list for any plumbing issue. Wendy was kind and easy to work with to get us scheduled as soon as possible. When they arrived, it only took a few minutes to locate the problem. In a couple of hours it was fixed. I had a chance to talk to Mickey during the job and really appreciate how much pride he has in his work and left me little doubt why he has built a reputation for being the best at what he does. They are good people, easy to work with, very fair on price and stand by their work as a solid family business. read more

These guys have helped me several times, and they always treat me right. I have several rentals, and I've worked with several plumbers. These guys are absolutely the best! They're honest, reliable and reasonably priced. read more

The plumber I used for 20+ years was stricken during Covid. I postponed as long as possible knowing it would be a monumental task to replace. I hit gold on the first call. I chose these guys because they are family owned. They did not disappoint. The tasks included a particularly challenging leak from a pool line which could have been an aesthetic nightmare, if done wrong. Corey and A.J. repaired the leak beautifully. read more

The first guy that came out was great. This guy today, young guy, just said we need a new water heater for $1600. He didn't look at anything. He was impatient like we were a problem. We asked him what the actual problem was-didn't know. Next we called the office to express or concern that we still didn't know what the issue was and the lady on the phone said, "Did he charge you?" We said no. She then said, "well if he doesn't know then I guess you need to call another company." Really??? I guess they have plenty of business. I am so tired of businesses like this just giving you the shaft and be ok with it. read more

I have been meaning to write a review about them since I first had an experience with them over a year ago but yelping is never the first thing that comes to mind when I get to my computer so I always forget. I always love when something I have had a great experience with has just a stream of great reviews, its good to know that others feel the same way. Here goes, they are by far the best plumbing services in town. Do not let the Round Rock address deter you, they go ALL OVER Austin, They are very fair, extremely well priced and show up when they say they. I am in real estate and am constantly having to give out referrals because of inspections ect. I am so lucky that I finally came across them every time we have to refer them out our clients come back to us so thankful and excited because they feel they were treated fairly got the job done right and are able to move forward with a transaction. To me that speaks volumes because when we recommend someone we want to know that our clients will get taken care of and I have no doubt in my mind that they will with Mickey and his crew. I am not exaggerating when I say that every time we refer them out of clients could not be happier and are so thankful to us. They are also who I use for my personal plumbing. They stand by the work 100% and if something comes up they will be back out to make sure that the problem is put to rest. They are very respectful, efficient, and how business should be done. I give them my highest recommendation and confidently give out their name and number anytime someone asks for plumbing services. These are your guys! read more
