Economy Plumbing Services
Company Overview
Economy Plumbing Services is the leading plumbing repair provider in Austin, delivering reliable and long-lasting solutions for both home and industrial plumbing issues. We believe in completing the job correctly on the first attempt. Numerous plumbers out there merely apply temporary fixes to your issues and depart. We are not that type of company. We locate the source of the problem and resolve it, conserving you both time and money.
Economy Plumbing Services was established with the goal of providing exceptional service at a competitive price. We are a certified, covered, family-operated business. Economy Plumbing Services exists today because we recognized a need in the Austin plumbing market for dedicated, client-centered plumbing services.
We have all heard the bad stories about hiring the big-name companies and the unqualified 'handymen'. Steer clear of adding your story to that list: reach out to Economy Plumbing today.
Sean spent time as a service technician for a fairly well-regarded company in the Austin area before seizing the chance to launch his own plumbing business. Economy Plumbing Services was founded from a desire to accurately diagnose and resolve the plumbing challenges faced by Austinites. Our primary goal is to correct the plumbing issue accurately on the first try, at the best price possible.
Sean's primary role in the business today is diagnostics: he possesses a distinct sense of curiosity. He desires to understand what is causing the issue, and he wants to see it fixed. He also is pleased to see the customer satisfied when their plumbing issue has been fixed.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Labor Day...and I all of the sudden have a steady flow of water dripping out of a light bulb in the ceiling of my garage. Electricity and water don't mix, so I desperately started calling plumbers. I called about 25 plumbers...most didn't answer their phones...and of the ones who did, nobody could come out for days. The one I found who would come out same day was charging an extra $200 surcharge because it was a holiday. Economy Plumbing not only didn't charge extra because it was a holiday, they were going to have someone at my house within an hour. Holy cow! I felt like I could breathe again! Before they ended up coming out, I found out that the leak was due to an air conditioner and not a plumbing issue, but I was so impressed with the fact that they were willing to come to my rescue almost immediately, on a holiday, with no surcharge, that I had to stop and give a 5 star review. Now THAT'S service!

This company is very organized and fantastic at communicating. The journeyman and apprentice who came to fix a leak in my yard were very slow, but they got the job done. Eventually. They were slightly more expensive than other companies, but the Yelp coupon I purchased was nice.

It was an after hours call. They weren't sure they could send any one. Roger, the plumber, who has been out before was graciuos enough to come. He took care of it in no time at all! Roger knows what he doing & explains what the problem is & the potential damage will happen when it is not handled properly. Also, they are truly concerned about you being satisfied with the work.

No problem with service they were on time and did good job. My issue was the price of the service , they charge $995 to install a water heater ( I had the heater) it took around 3.5 hours due to the fact they were not informed they were installing heater and go get a pan etc. I thought the charge would be by the hour since this is how I pay plumber in past. Based on that I thought the max charge should have been $500 . I failed to get quote before the work began and they never informed me that it was special price for heater and not by the hour. I called and told them my concern but no giving on their part. I believe Economy should be removed from their name. Thanks BH

Schedule the same day as the service and the job was completed efficiently and completely without any issues.
I'd use them again if/when I have a plumbing issue to resolve asap.

I have used Sean maybe 8 times because we have an old house that has lots of plumbing oddities. I have been very happy with him each time. Most recently, he helped with a bigger project and I insisted the GC use Sean because of his consistent quality and knowledge of my house. Sean squeezed me in to get this done. My GC reported back to me that he typically has a very had time communicating with plumbers but that Sean was very prompt and responsive to him. I will use him more as we continue to renovate this house (and have little problems along the way).

There minimum price for installation of a faucet is $179. So I ended up saving 61 dollars. I thought the price was kind of high, but I guess that is the price you pay for a Master Plumber.
He was prompt and professional. I called and setup an appointment and they were there with in 5 min of the appointed time.
He cleaned up afterwards and he was there till the job was completed. It did take him longer than I believe he expected. He and his helper worked the whole time he was there. I thought this was going to be a one man job, but with the trouble they had, I was glad there were two people there. The price might also be a reflection of the amount of people it took to get the job done. I have personally done this kind of work before and I know it can be a pain. He did test the faucet, there were no leaks and he does guarantee his work.
I paid and he emailed a receipt right afterwards. This is the first time I have used him and it was a simple job. If he is as good at the rest of his craft, I would at the very least get a quote from him for any future work.

Sean is one unprofessional business manager. I would NEVER tolerate his way with paying customers. He was very demeaning to me and basically called me an idiot. I will NEVER use them again and will make sure to tell everyone else to not use them. I have never received worse customer service in my life! Don't use them!

Bought an Angie's list coupon for some work just like I had done previously---changing out a tub faucet. Was around $100 last time, and another quote I got this month from another licensed plumber was $150, so I figured, $39 for the coupon and maybe they would charge me another $50, so total $89, around what it was a couple years ago, and $50 less than my other quote, . The quote Economy Plumbing gave me was $579! Really taken aback at their prices. They did show up on time. From the reviews I have since read, it sounds like price is a real issue with them. I read that one person paid $418 to have a disposer installed! Fortunately, my former plumber agreed to do the job.

Sean of Economy Plumbing is a true professional. He and his crew were prompt, efficient, did great work and cleaned up as if they were never here! We have finally found a plumber so great that we put his name and number in our phone contacts for future use. He and his crew replaced our water heater and replaced one toilet. Both of those items were taken out of the house without a drop being spilled on our carpet. He then repaired one other toilet so that it no longer runs night and day. They also fixed a leaky bathroom sink and I now have hot water again on my side of the bathroom. Sean, the owner, is also just plain nice! We also felt comfortable with his crew (Billy and Brad). All in all, this is a great company. Thank you Sean!
