Plumbing Repair in Austin, TX, for Homes and Businesses

The plumbing in your home or business is easy to forget about until something goes wrong, and then it’s all you can think about. Westmoreland Plumbing has served Austin since 1976, and we handle plumbing repair for homes and businesses. Our experienced plumbers assess the problem first, work out the best way to fix it, and get your plumbing back up and running as soon as possible.

Common Plumbing Repairs We Handle

We take on plumbing repairs for your home or business, and our full list of plumbing services in Austin covers maintenance and commercial work as well. Most calls start with one of a few familiar problems, and a good description over the phone helps us arrive ready.

Dripping faucets. A drip is usually a worn part, and it’s worth fixing, because EPA WaterSense says a faucet dripping once per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons a year.

Running toilets. A toilet that keeps running or refills on its own is leaking water from the tank into the bowl. EPA WaterSense notes that toilets can silently leak thousands of gallons a year, so that faint sound is worth a look.

Broken and leaking pipes. Pipes corrode, joints fail, and lines get damaged during other work. We locate the break and repair it, and our water leak repair page explains how we track down a leak.

Clogs and backups. A blocked fixture or line usually comes down to a clog that needs clearing. See clogged pipes repair for what to expect, or our drain cleaning service if the whole line needs attention.

Problems That Are Easy to Miss

Plenty of plumbing trouble never looks like an emergency. A faucet that sputters, water pressure that’s dropped at one fixture, a damp cabinet floor, or a bill that keeps creeping up can all point to something worth checking. Our plumbers troubleshoot any part of a household system, so you don’t need to know what’s wrong before you call.

Backflow is another one you won’t see. It’s when water runs the wrong way in your plumbing and can carry contaminants into your clean supply. If water looks or smells off, or a drain seems to be pushing back, tell us what you’ve noticed. Westmoreland Plumbing can look over your entire system while we’re there, and you can decide what you’d like repaired.

How a Repair Visit Works

Tell us what’s happening when you call, including when it started and what you’ve tried. The details matter more than the technical terms, so “it gurgles when the dishwasher runs” is all we need. We’ll set up a time and come to your location.

Once we’re there, we find the cause before we fix anything. A symptom in one spot can come from somewhere else in the system, and repairing the wrong part means you’ll be calling again. We’ll work out the best strategy and answer your questions about the work and our rates. Then we make the repair.

When a Plumbing Problem Can’t Wait

A burst or broken pipe is the one repair you can’t put off. Close the fixture’s shutoff valve if there is one, or turn off the main valve for the building, and then call us. Knowing where your main shutoff is before you need it can save you a lot of cleanup, so find it the next time you have a spare minute.

Sewage backing up into a tub or floor drain is the other problem to take seriously right away. Stop running water, keep people and pets away from it, and call. Austin Water says wastewater may back up and overflow through a drain, and if the cause is in the line on your property, we can find it and clear it.

We’re available Monday through Friday and closed on weekends. Our hours are at the bottom of every page, and you can call to ask about after-hours service.

Commercial Plumbing Repair

A plumbing failure hits a business harder than it hits most households. A restroom out of order or a leak in a tenant’s space costs you time and customers. We handle repairs for commercial properties around Austin, and we can help you plan maintenance too.

If you manage a building, tell us about any shutoffs, access rules, or tenant schedules when you call. It helps us know what to expect.

Choosing a Licensed Plumber in Texas

You’re inviting someone into your home to work on a system that can cause serious damage if it’s done badly, so it’s fair to check their credentials. The Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners suggests asking for the name of a company’s Responsible Master Plumber. It also says that plumber’s license number should appear in all advertisements and on written estimates and invoices, and that master plumber numbers begin with the letter M.

Our license number is M-36537, held by Tommy L. Nanyes, and it’s at the bottom of every page on this site. You can verify any Texas plumbing license through the Board’s website before you hire anyone.
