4 Paws Plumbing Llc

4 Paws Plumbing Llc runs as a locally owned operation out of Spicewood that covers residential and commercial plumbing across Austin and the nearby towns. Luis serves as the master plumber on the jobs with more than twenty years in the trade. The crew handles drain service and repair, fixture repair and replacement, sewer repair, water heater maintenance and replacement, and bathroom plumbing work. They keep regular hours from eight thirty in the morning to four thirty in the afternoon on weekdays and stay closed on weekends.

Homeowners bring them in for tankless water heater swaps, backflow preventer fixes, pinhole leaks at pressure reducing valves, water pressure valve replacements, attic water heater flushes, exterior hose bib changes, bathroom floor leak repairs, and shower drain valve installs. Ryan shows up for many of these calls, explains the steps, keeps the work areas clean, and finishes without extra trips. Louis checks in on larger jobs, handles same day water heater replacements after other companies fall short, and sorts emergency indoor leaks. Reviewers note the team spots issues during the first visit that prior plumbers missed and completes the fixes the next day when needed.

The company answers calls quickly, often the same day or within thirty minutes on urgent leaks, and sticks to weekday schedules without weekend work. Customers describe the pricing as fair after an initial visit and leak detection, with clear explanations of options before any deposit. Techs named in reviews include Ryan, Louis, Tiffany, Mike, AJ, and Robert, and they leave sites spotless after hose bib work or valve installs. Service stays limited to Austin and the immediate surrounding areas like Bee Cave and Lakeway.

Most reviews give five stars and repeat the same points about on time arrivals, straightforward communication, and solid results on water heater jobs and leak repairs. One review raised concerns over an initial quote and deposit process that led to a different outcome. The Google profile lists a 4.7 rating though it shows no review count attached.

“I’ve used 4 Paws Plumbing for several jobs now, and they’ve earned my trust. Most recently, Ryan came out to repair a leaking backflow preventer. His work was precise and detailed, and he took the time to point out a potential issue I wasn’t aware of. He walked me through my options clearly and helped me prioritize what needed to be done. Ryan has been to my house multiple times and is always easy to schedule. He’s efficient, thorough, friendly, and respectful of my time and my home. It’s a relief to have a plumber I can count on. Highly recommend!”

“I posted in some of the facebook groups out in bee cave and lakeway looking for recommendations for companies that could switch out my water heaters for tankless. One of the companies that kept coming up was 4 Paws Plumbing. Many of the people who recommended them I knew personally. So I decided to go with them. I also love the fact that they are local to this area. They came yesterday and did the switch and install. Ryan was the plumber who did the work and he was great. So informative and really explained things to us and did a great job removing and installing the new system. The owner and master plumber Luis came be several times to check on the job and make sure things were looking good. I am so glad we used them and would recommend them to others. I now have a new plumbing company for our other plumbing needs as well which is nice as I hadn’t found one out here that I really was happy with.”

“I was not handled ethically by 4Paws. I was taken by the many 5-star reviews, which is why I called them, so felt obligated to share here when my experience was quite different. My experience: After an initial visit by 2 friendly plumbing techs, I was quoted $3,000 for a leak repair and asked for a $1,000 deposit, which I made. I was told that leak detection would be performed first to confirm their diagnostic/plan, and that it was possible the quote could change based on the leak detection findings. The leak detection was clearly itemized on the quote at $800. I asked the tech on-site: "If the leak detection findings cause the quote to increase substantially and I elect to go another direction, what would that mean for this quote?" He said I would not get my $1,000 deposit back because most of that was going to the leak detection company anyway, but that there would otherwise be no obligation to proceed further with the repair or any further billing in that case. That sounded reasonable. Leak detection arrived several days later, and, to my surprise, the 4Paws master plumber arrived along with them. Initially I thought it was great that he would be there too to hear thei”

“4 Paws is an awesome team that is the go-to for our home plumbing issues. They came out and assessed my pin-hole leak at my PRV extremely quickly and charged a fair price. They were on time, helped me understand what happened, and did great work efficiently.”

“We’ve used Louis and the 4 Paws team for years and we always get great and prompt service. Louis took care of our water heater issue so quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend this reputable and reliable plumber.”

“Response time was excellent and pricing was very fair. The technician, Ryan, did a great job performing the work cleanly and to excellent quality standards. Thank you!”

“Louis with 4 Paws Plumbing was phenomenal!! We had leak with our water pressure valve. Louis came over same day and within the hour replaced the valve and saved us from huge water bill. HIGHLY recommend 4 PAWS PLUMBING!! Lisa W”

“4 Paws Plumbing is exceptional! They are honest, professional and real problem solvers! I would not hesitate to call them for your plumbing needs. We have repeatedly had a fantastic experience with them.”

“4 Paws always does a great job. They came out and flushed my water heater that is up in the attic above the second floor and avoided getting any dirt or water on the carpet. They also replaced 7 exterior hose bibs that were over 20 years old. The new bibs only require a 1/4 turn to open and are surprisingly easier to use. I strongly recommend them for all your plumbing needs.”

“Highly recommend 4 Paws! After 2 months of trying to solve our water heater issue with another company, 4 paws came over and identified the problem in one visit. The next day they had our new water heaters installed. We are happy and relieved to be working with 4 paws.”

“4 Paws well exceeded my expectations, Louis and Tiffany were amazing! I had a leak under my bathroom floor and anticipated a huge cost and possibly an insurance claim. The quote was less than expected and completed within a few hours! Louis is extremely professional and knowledgeable, my best plumbing experience ever!!”

“After having another plumber cancel on me twice I found 4 Paws. They quickly came up to look at the job, gave me a better price and then were able to get the work done that week. The team that came up did a terrific job and left the place spotless. I can't recommend them enough!”

“Most ethical, straight forward, and knowledgable you could hope to get. Will not go elsewhere for plumbing ever. . This is one you keep close by and know you are doing better than others when needing plumbing services.”

“Called them one afternoon when the first plumber couldn’t make the scheduled appointment. They graciously added me to their schedule, showed up earlier than estimated, and diagnosed that I needed a new faucet. When I ran into trouble installing my new faucet, they were able to come back out and finish the install. Excellent service and I will definitely call them first next time.”

“Very impressed with the Four Paws Plumbing team. They did everything they said they would do - called me back, provided timely and detailed estimate, communicated throughout the project and did an excellent job installing a new drain, valves and diverter for a new shower. The team at Four Paws were great to work with - Mike, Tiffany, AJ and Robert, thank you!”

“Louis and Tiffany responded immediately to our emergency. They came within 30 mins of us calling, were very professional and took care of the indoor plumbing leak in no time! I highly recommend them and are super happy with their service. Thank you 4 Paws Plumbing!”

“I am BEYOND grateful to 4 Paws Plumbing. After SNOVID, we were up schitt's creek without a paddle. Busted brand new water heater and couldn't get a plumber to actually show up. I was losing my mind not having hot water in my house. Laundry, dishes, stinky kiddos. At 6pm on a Friday, 4Paws arrived because my neighbor who is a builder called in a favor for me. I was so desperate. Our incredible neighbor let us buy his water heater from him (he said he could wait a month or two for a new one, since you literally could not find a water heater to buy in the state of TX after snowmageddon) and 4Paws had it installed within an hour. I was beyond impressed and so, so grateful. I will only use 4Paws Plumbing for all my plumbing needs going forward. ...And shout out to the terrible Austin Metro Plumbing for giving me a confirmed appointment via text, making me wait a week, and then NOT showing up or returning my phone call or text message. Y'all need to take some lessons from 4 Paws Plumbing on customer service. 4 Paws are honest, hardworking plumbing rockstars!”

“4Paws did wonderful work, once again, this time helping us select and installing a new tankless hot water system. Trustworthy, professional, and caring. Thank you, 4Paws.”

“Big shout out to Louis Ibarra & Four Paws Plumbing. I met Louis a few years ago when he was connecting my house to WCID17 water main. Four paws has done several plumbing projects at our house since then, from tankless water heaters to an extensive master bath & laundry room addition. Louis has always gone the extra mile to get all of our projects accomplished with attention to detail. Last week, Louis stayed until 830pm to complete a last minute project. Thank you Four Paws Plumbing!”

“If you are looking for a great plumber, look no further than 4 Paws Plumbing. Tiffany and her team provide some great customer service and are actually honest with you about their timeframes.”
