Thunderbird Plumbing Co. was created in 2006 by Proprietor and Master Plumber Jeff Plunkett as an choice to the larger companies in town that demand higher prices. After working with these companies for over a decade, Jeff recognized that the major companies rarely provide a higher level of service. In fact, the reverse was often the reality. These massive companies are in a continuous struggle to handle a significant volume of calls, and often the plumber they assign might not even be properly licensed. So what you get is a subpar quality of work at a much increased price. At Thunderbird Plumbing, where traditional service still matters, you will receive excellent work at a much reduced price. Even today, most of our clients comes from returning customers and referrals. We complete the job correctly the first time; our business depends on it.

Jeff began his path in the plumbing industry nearly 20 years ago. He began by cleaning septic pump trucks and trenching for water lines. Essentially, he did a lot of the dirty work that most plumbers are used to. Jeff advanced his way up and became expert at fitting and servicing water heaters, toilets, faucets, sewer lines, and also became skilled at locating and repairing slab leaks in drain lines. He comprehends what it's like to execute an honest day's work. At most of the plumbing firms Jeff was employed by, he was held in esteem for his dedication and the excellence of his work. He believes that preserving this quality is essential to keeping his business for years to come. He evaluates long and hard about those he brings on board at Thunderbird Plumbing and ensures to have technicians of a higher level alongside him. We honestly believe that when you reach out to us, you will receive more value for your dollars.

Great experience. Call him.

We used Thunderbird for a situation where I didn't want to get involved and he came though with flying colors.

Kara C.
★★★★★

Thunderbird is incredible! They are quick to respond and so nice to work with. I can't recommend them enough.

I've used these guys twice in the last couple of months. They are responsive, efficient, professional, friendly and their pricing is very reasonable. Highly recommended.

I can't say enough about Raymond and Ted who replaced a water heater for us. Second floor....old house....not easy but they got it done. Raymond also responded to my service request within a day while the other plumber I had called finally called me back three days later after the job was done. I highly recommend Thunderbird.

Great experience having our water heater replaced. We contacted four companies for estimates and Raymond both had the best price and was the best at communicating. Thanks Raymond!

Once Jeff caught wind of this review, he apologized and gave me 10% back to help make it right. He'd been out of town during this debacle and wasn't aware of my issues, but was genuinely concerned. He closed the loop on how they don't usually take on jobs as big as mine and offered a referral with another trusted guy. I'd already had the leak fixed and thankfully, the Thunderbird warranty wasn't voided when I had the other plumber come out.

My dad called and asked me to write a review for Ted at Thunderbird Plumbing. He was so impressed to have such a knowledgable, nice and efficient plumber come and fix his broken kitchen sink. Dad is not easily impressed so I felt I should share what a great experience he had. Thanks Ted, for taking such good care of my pops!

This company is simply fantastic. I had gone through 4 plumbers since early February and had spent over $1,000 without a remedy for the lack of hot water in my Grohe shower system. I had shown all the other plumbers the Grohe product literature that had instructions on how it's done, but I was ignored. One plumbing company sent me a salesman instead of a plumber to push for a complete new system. Raymond came today and looked at the instructions and "voila" I have hot water again. He was also a very pleasant person and he saved me a bunch of
money since I don't need to replace the whole system.

Was at my house inspecting my water heater within an hour of when I called to see if i could get someone out. We both agreed it was due to be replaced due to age of unit & cost of repair to just try and eek a few more months out of it. Jeff ran to get a new unit from his shop & started installing it while i ran back to work. Jeff did a great job installing the unit and gave me a more than fair price. He even pointed me to a rebate I might be eligible for to reduce my out of pocket cost. Very pleased with service & friendliness from Thunderbird, definitely calling them the next time we have any sort of plumbing issue.

Jeff and Ted installed a new tank water heater and hot water recirculation system for me. When done, they gave me a walkthrough on the installation. Very classy and thorough work and the cost was very reasonable. I don't think you will find better in the Austin area.
