The Best Plumbers in Austin

Stan's has served Austin since 1954 and it is the rare company that tells you which licence covers which trade rather than printing a row of numbers and leaving you to guess. Its site labels the plumbing licence M-38233, the electrical licence 41374 and the state registration TACLB38119E. We checked the plumbing number in the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners' own licensee file, where it comes back current for Stan's Heating Air and Plumbing in Travis County under the responsible master plumber Brandon Cardwell.

The file adds something the website does not. That licence carries the water supply protection specialist endorsement, which is the cross-connection and backflow qualification, and it lines up with the water softener and water testing work Stan's advertises. Of the six companies here, it is the only one holding that endorsement, which makes it the sensible call if your problem involves an irrigation system, a softener or anything tied into the city supply.

The oldest name on this page, operating in Austin since 1949, family owned and led by Bobby Jenkins. Plumbing sits alongside pest control, heating and air, electrical and pool services, which is why this is the company people keep on file rather than look up in a panic. Its plumbing work covers water heaters, leak detection, drain cleaning, disposals and water and gas line repair, and it advertises 24 hour plumbing response.

One criticism, applied evenly. The footer runs six licence numbers in a row, TPCL2170, TECL 23492, TACLA86888E, LI2669, M-32147 and TICL587, without saying which belongs to which trade. We matched M-32147 in the state file to ABC Home and Commercial Services in Travis County, held by the responsible master plumber Michael Yazolino, and it is current. Worth knowing that the counter hours are weekday and Saturday morning, which is unusual honesty in a trade where everybody claims to be open always.

A family company doing plumbing and nothing else since 1986, out of a yard on Bissel Lane in south Austin. It publishes licence M-13180, and that number is the quiet headline here: the state file confirms it is current, held by David Moore for Moore and More Plumbing Inc, and a five-digit number beginning with 13 is among the longest-held master plumbing licences still in active use around Austin.

Scope is the ordinary house list done properly: water heaters, drain cleaning, leak detection, sewer repair and replacement, water softeners and whole-house repiping, for residential and commercial customers. Two notes. The state record lists the licence holder's county as Hays rather than Travis, which is common for an owner living out toward Dripping Springs and does not affect the Austin address or the work. And the site publishes no hours, so this is a company to call rather than count on at midnight.

Trading since 1999 and now the most visible plumbing brand in the city, running plumbing, heating and air, and electrical out of Reinli Street with a second base in San Antonio. It publishes a full licence block for both cities, master plumbing licences M-42438 and M-45619 plus mechanical and electrical numbers, which is more disclosure than most of its competitors manage. The genuine 24 hour, seven day operation is the reason to call it, and its awards wall is the longest here, including a Best of Austin listing for 2025 that we could not confirm from the Austin Chronicle's own pages.

The reason it sits fourth rather than first. Both of those plumbing numbers are current in the state file, but the counties do not line up the way the website implies: M-42438 is recorded with a Hays County address under Radiant Plumbing and Air Conditioning, while M-45619, which the site labels as the San Antonio licence, is the one recorded in Travis County, under Schmidt Mechanical Group LLC doing business as Radiant. Nothing about that is improper, and the company is plainly licensed. It just means the labels on the site are not the full picture, and on a page built around licence checking we are going to say so.

The most unusual entry here, and a useful one if you live or work downtown. Pecan Street was founded by the master plumber Curtis Novinger and publishes its licence the right way round, naming the person: licence M-18971, Curtis Novinger, RMP. The state file confirms it as current in Travis County. The company deliberately restricts itself to roughly a two-mile radius from the corner of Old Pecan Street and Congress, which is a small enough patch that a downtown condo or an older central house gets a plumber who knows the building stock.

The state file also shows the medical gas endorsement on that licence, which puts Pecan Street in the small group of Austin RMPs who may pipe oxygen and vacuum lines for a clinic or a dental practice, relevant downtown where those tenancies are common. The limitation is deliberate and worth repeating: outside that radius it is not your company, and its site gives a street name without a number.

This is the company Austin knew as S&D Plumbing, trading since 1980 and renamed Beyond Wow under the same ownership. It publishes licence M-11671, which the state file returns as current for S&D Plumbing LLC doing business as Beyond Wow, held by Samuel Dowdy out of Taylor in Williamson County. The depth is on the drain and sewer side: hydro jetting, sewer camera inspection, tree root intrusion, grinder and ejector pumps, tunnel drain replacement and trenchless sewer and water line replacement, which is the work that decides whether your driveway survives a main line repair.

Four locations cover Austin, Taylor, Buda and Round Rock, so coverage is the best here outside Radiant. It is last because the site's own details do not hold still. The contact block gives 342 Greystone Drive and the locations page gives 3432 Greystone Drive, and one contact form still shows a placeholder telephone number. The main line and the licence both check out, but confirm the address before you drive to it.
