Our journey began at the turn of the century when Chris Lanier assisted his father with various tasks to support the family. As Austin expanded, the demand for plumbing services surged, leading Chris to establish Lanier Plumbing. In the early 30s and 40s, government contracts helped us grow into one of Texas's largest plumbing companies. We may have downsized, but we are still a family-run business, and our promise to offer top-notch service at fair prices will never waver.
Twenty-five years ago, I wed Gari Lanier, and I have been assisting her with the daily operations of the plumbing business ever since. We are blessed with a lovely family, which includes our three sons, McCaleb, Cody, and Trey, a daughter-in-law named Lexy, a granddaughter named Pressley, and a menagerie of five dogs, three donkeys, and 28 cows.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Needed a valve replaced in my renovated shower and after being ghosted by the original plumber, I called Lanier and they had me fixed up in no time flat. Fasted and friendliest service I've experienced in years. I highly recommend.

Erick and Shane were awesome. We called at noon and they were here by 2:30, brought in some pretty good equipment to snake the pipes, fixed a few other things and were out before the hour was up.
They also did a stellar job of cleaning up after themselves despite the mess that was being made while they were working.
Highly recommend. Awesome plumbers.

I just used Lanier Plumbing for the first time. Phillip was very prompt in fixing the bathtub faucet and replacing two parts on the water heater. He was knowledgeable, efficient and cleaned up nicely when he finished. I am extremely pleased with this locally owned company and will definitely use them again.

I recently hired Lanier Plumbing for the first time and was very pleased with the results. Cindy let me schedule at my convenience, and Phillip and his helper did a very professional job, leaving the work area cleaner than they found it. I can highly recommend them.

So I was very pleased with the first service from Phillip at Lanier.
There was more work to do and I scheduled them to come.
Supposedly they called during the week and said it would be a month because they had gotten some big jobs and that the person who was scheduling did not know what they were doing. But I didn't get a call. They just didn't bother to say they were not coming and would not be coming for a month.
You might as well be dead to wait a month to repair a plumbing leak.
To be honest, I have never had a contractor call and say they can not come for month after I already have an appointment. Ever. And not care about it at all when they tell you. Or try and squeeze you in.
And so I won't ever be calling this poorly managed company again for something as important as plumbing.

tldr: Had a kitchen sink stoppage and first called another plumbing company to snake it out. After 5 days of nothing working, and over $500 in charges, they gave me a $9,000 est, to fix. Called in Lanier Plumbing, who fixed the sink in half an hour, and for half of the $500 Radiant charge. ---
On the 5th day of unsuccessful tries and a $9,000 estimate to fix, I called Lanier Plumbing to have a look-see to be sure that tunneling under the house is the only recourse.
The Lanier plumber, Philip, was able to snake out the sink in 30min, and charged HALF of what Radiant charged.
He was knowledgeable, professional, and effectual. He was, in short, the best.
On the 6th day, I dumped the other company for Lanier Plumbing. Lanier is a way more mature plumbing company, and it shows in their attitude, from the office manager on through to the plumber.
Description of work:
Unclogged a sink that another company spent 5 days trying to unsuccessfully unclog

Fabulous service, and amazing rates. I am now a loyal customer- am very grateful I gave them a try.

These guys are great. If you're in near north central Austin,
it's the only outfit to use.

Give Lanier, and plumber Phillip, five stars. They came out quickly, found the problem quickly, and fixed it with what appears to be good technique. He put in an accessible main cutoff valve where none existed before, and dug up and replaced the shrubs as well as could be expected. I paid less than $500 for about a half a day's work, which included some parts. Plumbing is difficult and dirty work, and it's easily done wrong and covered up, so I don't mind paying for quality workmanship. Consider the alternative.

Lanier Plumbing has saved the day for us many times. I realize people go on Yelp to complain so I wanted to make sure to give praise when praise is so well deserved. We have used Lanier Plumbing for over a decade and have always received good and fairly priced service. Lanier Plumbing is consistently wonderful! They are a high quality, local, family owned business
