Plumbing for Central & North Austin
You get the price in writing before the wrench comes out.
Ray and Nora Weller fix water heaters, slab leaks, slow mains and tired galvanized lines from Hyde Park up to Parmer. One flat number at your door, no running meter, and we clean up like it’s our own kitchen.

What we fix
Houses, duplexes and the occasional corner café. Residential first.
Not sure which of these it is? Describe the sound, the smell or the puddle. That’s usually enough for us to tell you on the phone.
- 01
Water heaters
Tank and tankless, gas and electric. Repairs, flushes and same-day swaps on 40 and 50-gallon tanks we keep on the van.
- 02
Leaks & slab leaks
From a weeping shutoff to a hot spot on the floor. We find it before we open anything, and patch the drywall we cut.
- 03
Drains & main lines
Kitchen, tub and the main to the street. Camera inspection when roots from the old pecan are the likely culprit.
- 04
Fixtures
Faucets, toilets, disposals, shower valves. Bring your own fixture or we’ll bring one we trust.
- 05
Re-pipes
Galvanized and polybutylene out, PEX or copper in. Most 1950s ranch houses take two days with water back on each night.
- 06
Gas lines
Ranges, dryers, outdoor kitchens and pressure tests for a remodel inspection.
How pricing works
Flat prices, quoted at the door, written down.
We look first, then give you one number for the whole job: parts, labor and haul-away. If you say no, you pay the $89 service call and nothing else. If you say yes, the service call is on us.
A few common jobs, so you have a sense before you call. Final price depends on what’s behind the wall.
- Toilet rebuild, all new internals$165
- Kitchen faucet install, yours or ours$195
- Main line clear, with cleanout$245
- Water heater flush & anode check$135
- 40-gal gas water heater, installed$1,850

Workmanship guaranteed for one year. Parts carry the maker’s warranty.
How it works
Four steps, and you talk to a Weller at every one.
Call or text a photo
Nora picks up from 7am. A photo of the problem and the label on the water heater saves a trip.
Pick a window
Two-hour arrival windows, usually same or next day. We text when we’re 20 minutes out.
Get the number
We find the cause, then write down one flat price. You decide before any work starts.
Fixed and cleaned up
Drop cloths down, old parts hauled off, and a short note on what we did and what to watch.
Water where it shouldn’t be?
Shut off the main first. Then call the emergency line.
In most Austin houses the shutoff is in the front-yard meter box by the curb, or on a hose-bib-style valve where the line enters the house, often beside the garage. A quarter turn clockwise. If it won’t budge, don’t force it. We’ll talk you through it.

About
One van, two Wellers, and a phone that actually gets answered.
Ray spent his early years running service calls for a big Austin outfit, the kind with a call center and a commission sheet. He went out on his own because he wanted to quote people the way he’d want to be quoted.
Nora grew up riding along on Saturdays, did her apprenticeship with her dad, and is now the one most people meet first. She handles scheduling, water heaters and most of the gas work. Ray still won’t let anyone else touch a slab leak.
Licensed and insured in Texas. Based in Crestview.
