Our certified plumbers handle all residential and commercial plumbing needs, from emergency repairs to routine maintenance. We prioritize transparent communication, using advanced tools to diagnose issues efficiently. With 24/7 availability, we ensure minimal disruption to your property while delivering long-lasting solutions tailored to your specific requirements.
Leak Detection
Specializing in identifying and repairing hidden leaks, we use acoustic devices and thermal imaging to locate issues in walls or underground. Our minimally invasive methods prevent costly damage, addressing slab leaks, pipe fractures, and fixture leaks. Guaranteed repairs ensure your plumbing system remains efficient and water-waste free.
Drain Cleaning
We clear clogs in drains and sewer lines caused by debris, grease, or tree roots. Hydro jetting and camera inspections allow precise diagnosis and thorough cleaning. Our team recommends preventive maintenance to avoid future backups, ensuring smooth drainage for homes and businesses across Austin.
Water Heater Repair
From traditional tanks to tankless systems, we repair, install, and maintain water heaters for optimal performance. Annual inspections extend lifespan and efficiency, while emergency services restore hot water access immediately. Our technicians prioritize energy-efficient solutions to reduce utility costs.
Sewer Line Repair
We repair and replace damaged sewer lines using trenchless technology to minimize landscaping disruption. Camera inspections identify root intrusion, cracks, or blockages, enabling targeted fixes. Durable materials and expert installation ensure reliable wastewater management for residential and commercial properties.

The plumber was prompt, courteous, competent and informative. He restored a bathroom to functionality and told me about preventive maintenance techniques. My commode no longer wobbles, and the drain pipes now empty out as they were designed to do. He also used a camera to find a crack in a pipe within the concrete slab. The bathroom went from zero drainage to normal in a little over an hour.

These folks go the extra mile to make things right! There was a bit of confusion the morning of my appointment and Johnny Rooter was not able to come at the time that was scheduled on the previous day, and they made the extra effort to come out the same day after hours to rectify the issue. Not only was the issue resolved, but they made no hesitation to assume responsibility. Things happen, and they did what needed to be done. Cant ask for anything more from a service company!
