The Essential Ten

Ten of the most common residential plumbing repairs — one straightforward, published price. The plumber who shows you the price first.

Pricing, in the open

One straightforward price for the repairs homeowners need most

Most homeowners don't fear a plumbing problem — they fear being taken advantage of. So we did something the rest of the market won't: we published our price. The Essential Ten covers ten of the most common residential plumbing repairs, each at one flat rate.

No quote-gating, no dispatch fee, no surprises. The price we publish is the price you pay — guidance over guesswork, from a master-plumber-owned team.

No dispatch fee, ever 1-year workmanship warranty

Straight talk on scope
Each Essential Ten price covers the specific repair and conditions shown on its card — the standard scope most homeowners hit. If we get on site and the job is more involved than the card describes (say, no accessible cleanout on the main line, a non-Delta/Moen faucet, or an older toilet that needs more than a rebuild kit), we stop, walk you through the options in writing, and you decide before any work continues. No surprises. No bait and switch.

The Honest Part

If your repair isn't on the list, we explain your options first

Plumbing is rarely one-size-fits-all, and plenty of work falls outside these ten common repairs. When it does, we don't guess and we don't oversell. We diagnose the issue, explain what's happening in plain language, and put clear, line-item options in writing — so you decide before any work begins.

Sometimes what looks like a simple fix turns out to be something more involved. If that happens mid-job, we stop and walk you through the choices. You'll always know your options and the cost up front — that's what guidance over guesswork means.

Common Questions

Essential Ten, answered plainly

How much does a plumber cost in Austin and Central Texas? +

For ten of the most common residential repairs, Plumbing Outfitters publishes one straightforward flat price: $325 per repair on our Essential Ten list. We believe you should see the price before you commit — most companies make you book a visit just to find out.

Do you charge a dispatch or service-call fee? +

No. We never charge a dispatch fee — we don't bill you just to show up. For Essential Ten repairs, the published price is the price you pay, with no surprise add-ons.

What exactly is the Essential Ten? +

The Essential Ten is our published, flat-rate price list for ten specific residential plumbing repairs — from main-line drain cleaning and toilet rebuilds to camera line inspections and static tests. Each one is a single, straightforward price so you can plan with confidence. See the full list on this page for the exact scope of each repair.

Is the $325 price really flat, or are there hidden charges? +

It's a genuine flat rate for the listed repair, provided the job matches the scope shown on this page. We use transparent, line-item pricing and put your options in writing before any work begins. If your situation turns out to be more involved than the listed scope, we stop and walk you through the options first — you decide before we proceed.

What happens if my repair isn't on the Essential Ten list? +

Plenty of plumbing work falls outside these ten common repairs. When it does, we diagnose the issue, explain what's happening in plain language, and give you clear, written options — guidance over guesswork. You'll always know your choices and the cost before we start.

Do Essential Ten repairs come with a warranty? +

Yes. Our repairs carry a 1-year workmanship warranty, installations are backed for 3 years, and active Wayfinder members get our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty. We stand behind the work, not just the price.

Do main line drain cleaning and camera line inspections require a cleanout? +

Yes — both the Main Line Drain Cleaning and Camera Line Inspection at the $325 flat rate require an existing sewer cleanout on your property. If your home doesn't have one, we'll assess what's needed and put clear options in writing before any additional work begins.

Which faucet brands are covered by the flat-rate repair? +

The $325 Lavatory Faucet Repair covers standard Delta or Moen bathroom (lavatory) faucets. Other brands, kitchen faucets, or specialty fixtures may fall outside the flat scope — we'll show you the difference in writing before we start.
