The company was founded at the dawn of the 20th century when Chris Lanier helped his father with odd jobs to make a living. As plumbing needs grew in Austin, Chris decided to open Lanier Plumbing. Government contracts during the early 30s and 40s allowed us to expand into one of Texas's leading plumbing companies. While we have scaled down since those days, we remain a family-owned business, and our dedication to delivering quality service at fair prices will always endure.
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

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

After recommendations on Nextdoor and Yelp, I took a chance on Lanier Plumbing. So glad I did. David and Shane repaired my plumbing issues (which are rarely straightforward in a 1940's house) for a fraction of the price estimated by other plumbers. Very honest, very skilled and professional, and efficient with their time. I highly recommend them.

These guys are great! After calling around to a few places I found on yelp and Nextdoor I settled on Lanier. They were the first plumber that gave me an hourly rate - I prefer this model over having someone come out to look at a job and tell me a price. If it is too high I have to make another appointment for someone to come out - I don't want to deal with that - and I had multiple issues that included troubleshooting etc. Also, they are in my neighborhood!
I called them to replace a kitchen faucet that I couldn't manage on my own due to weird fittings on the old faucet - while they were here I asked them about a leak, water pressure issues and they fixed a shower that had a bad cartridge. They answered a ton of questions and patiently explained the items they were addressing. They were friendly, professional, efficient and they solved my problems. I would use them again and I highly recommend them!

We have used Lanier Plumbing twice in the past few months and both times we were very impressed with the work that they did and what they charged, plus they came out promptly after we called. We highly recommend this company. Phillip came the first time and we requested him the second time, and they were happy to accommodate our request. Part of the work that Phillip did was highly technical and we were very impressed.

Paid for them to come out for an estimate of some major work to my home. After the plumber left, I was told they would send me an estimate. Three weeks and a few phone calls to the office later, still no estimate and the run around.

Lanier consistently provides excellent service at a fair price. It has been our experience that they try to find solutions with your existing fixtures, rather than just going for the quick and more expensive fix
