Recommended Customer Reviews

What a great group. They were professional and very helpful. I asked questions over and over and each time the team were willing to explain in detail what was going on and answered all my questions. I felt I was in good hands. Even the invoice was sent to me quickly and written in a clear and helpful way. Thanks Good Flow Plumbing!

Darrel was knowledgeable, patient and professional. He had a wealth of knowledge about plumbing, code, gas and even advice on structural non plumbing issues. I wish more plumbers could be like him!

Joel, Mark and the entire team at Good Flow Plumbing proved themselves to be extraordinary in speed, service and value. I highly recommend Good Flow Plumbing and will confidently encourage anyone in Austin to make them their first and last call for plumbing needs.

We've been using Good Flow for quite some time and they've always been fair, honest, and prompt with addressing our plumbing problems. Recently, during Austin's "Great Freeze of 2018", we had an outdoor pipe burst. Of course we called Good Flow to come fix it and they were able to schedule us in the following day. On whim, we called the larger plumbing companies in town just to see how quickly they'd be able to respond, the nearest appointments were over a week out. Thank you guys for helping get us out of a jam!

These guys were great to work with. I submitted a bid for a small plumbing job and most companies were booked out over a week. Good Flow came out 2 days later, fixed the problem in a matter of minutes, and were very helpful in explaining everything. Definitely recommend working with them.

I would like to commend GFP's Joel Robb for being a good, honest guy. I initially had one of his crew come out to fix two toilets. The workman was able to work on one and not the other, because he didn't have the parts. For no reason whatsoever, a week later, I used a different plumbing company to fix toilet #2. This team found that toilet #1 was not sufficiently fixed (some things still needed replacing) and was still leaking. I called Joel, explained the issue, sent my service receipts, and he send me a refund. I'm not sure he was even completely convinced of my problem, but he sent it because he cares about his company's reputation. I appreciate that. You don't see it very often these days.

I'm deeply grateful to Good Flow as their service was outstanding!! Expedited, high quality, and very friendly professionals...I highly recommend them!!

In May of this year, we were scheduled to have a garden party, and were cleaning the house the day before, on a Friday. When cleaning around the commode in the guest bathroom, we noticed that when the toilet flushed, water was seeping out from the base. And the toilet itself was somewhat loose. It had been installed less than 2 years previously by another firm. I called them, and when they sent their guy out, I was quoted something like $290 to replace the commode, and told that it might have a broken flange, which would require soldering, and that would run a minimum of another $275 or greater.
Not being pleased with this news from the plumber who's company had installed it, I proceeded to tell him to wait, went and got a wrench, removed the nuts to the anchor bolts and pulled it so we could see what the actual problem was.
Once I pulled it, the flange was broken. I thanked him and told him that I'd rather pay anyone else than his company to do the repair.
I called Good Flow and the nice lady there managed to get word to one of her plumbers, and Darrel (sp?) made it out within an hour or so.
He came in, looked at it, gave me a bid and his bid was under $300 to solder the broken mounting flange, put in a new wax ring and re-seat the toilet.
He was later joined by a bigger fellow, who said his name was Darrel too--that he was Darrel's brother. Then they laughed, and told me their real names.
The bigger Darrel came in and took over the soldering and then the littler Darrel re-seated the toilet, and they had it all re-installed, and re-caulked within about 90 minutes. And they charged less than the other major company wanted just to re-seat it. (I won't name them, but they use their mom in their commercials.) When they were done, they cleaned everything up and left the area very presentable.
I told the bigger Darrel that I wanted him to tell his boss that I was very happy with them. He said he was the owner.
Personally, I'd rather do business with the guy that owns a company than with some employee, who is only in it for a paycheck. These guys were great, and I have already recommended them to at least one friend, who was unfortunately dependent on another non-responsive competitor.
These guys bailed me out of a tight spot and the party went off without a hitch. I recommend them without any reservation whatsoever.

Good Flow Plumbing did a great job with my issue and they were very courteous and professional. I will certainly use them again if I need to correct a plumbing problem.

I have used Good Flow Plumbing in my downtown condo on 4 occasions on the recommendation of several other owners in our building. Their plumbers are skilled, efficient and reasonably priced. I have only had one cancellation and that was because the plumber could find no place to park. The office communicated the problem and promptly rescheduled the appointment. Gramamakm
