Meet the Master Plumber and Owner of The Plumbinator!

Meet Master Plumber and Owner: Mickey Womack

I am a Master Plumber with 25 years of experience in plumbing new houses and repairing old houses, specializing in water and sewer leak detection and repair. This combination of experience is unique in the plumbing world. I can see the pipes three-dimensionally in my head and turn them 360 degrees, like a mental CAD program, to see through your walls and diagnose problems other plumbers can't. 

Remember, fixing plumbing is not like fixing a refrigerator: Plumbing is a system, not a set of discrete units. There is no set order of tasks for every job that anyone can do - it takes a plumber with skill, experience, and knowledge to figure out exactly what's happening with your system, how each part is interacting with each other part, and what's going wrong. Often, water comes up in a totally different spot from the actual leaking pipe. 

That's why you call me after other plumbers have already tried and failed to figure out your plumbing mystery. When a 'general practitioner' plumber can't get the job done, even they call me in as a specialist. I'll pinpoint the leak and perform minimally invasive "keyhole surgery" to protect your yard, walls, and floors.



I started this small, family-owned and run company in 2009, offering plumbing in Round Rock, Georgetown, Hutto, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Jarrell, and Austin. We believe in old-fashioned service and are LGBTQ allies, so you can always feel safe and taken care of with us in your home. You will receive personal service from me, my son Tim or another plumber on our team. Call us with your plumbing woes, and let us worry about it, you have enough on your plate. 512-786-1771

Do I Need To Hire a Licensed Plumber? Your Common Questions Answered!

Help! I have a plumbing problem! Should I try to do it myself, hire a handyman or call a licensed plumber?  In Texas, there are only TWO legal options when you have a plumbing issue:  1) As the homeowner, you can fix your own plumbing, OR  2) You can hire a state-licensed, insured plumber who is working under a valid Master Plumber's number.  If you have your plumbing work done illegally, it could be a costly mistake, since damage from illegal work isn't covered by your home insurance. Read more below. Question 1: Should I Try to Fix My Own Plumbing? It depends. If the project involves natural or LP gas, NO you should not. Working with gas and gas piping can be very dangerous and anyone who works on gas must be licensed. As far as non-gas related plumbing, whether you should attempt a fix depends on how large and/or complicated the project is. In Texas, homeowners can legally do certain types of things to their plumbing without a permit, like rep...

6 Signs You May Have an Active Slab Leak

Oh no! You just went to grab a soda from the fridge and splashed through a huge puddle on the way. Why is your home turning into a swimming pool?? Might be a slab leak.  Slab leaks can wreak havoc on your home and your wallet! Not only will your house be underwater, but you'll also be paying for this privilege through increased bills. The water pipes for your home run through the slab, and as they get old and corrode, or the house settles into its foundation, pipes may spring leaks or break. The older your home is, the more likely it is you'll have a slab leak . Check out the signs in this list, so you'll be ready if it happens to you. 1) There's a Puddle on the Floor, Inside or Outside The most common sign of a slab leak is a puddle on the floor that can grow larger over time, as water bubbles up from underneath. You'll often find the puddle close to where plumbing is located, such as the bathroom, kitchen or laundry room. If you see a puddle, look aroun...

Got Kitec Water Pipes in Austin? We Can REPAIR Them!

Found out your home has Kitec? Got a huge estimate for a total replacement and now you're freaking out?  We can help!  Schedule a free estimate and we'll see if we can   REPAIR instead of REPLACE your Kitec. Kitec Facts: Kitec plumbing was used to install water piping in new homes during the building boom in Austin, Georgetown, Round Rock, and Pflugerville, starting in 1995.  In 2005 Kitec was recalled because it corrodes and bursts, but that didn't stop some builders from using it in the Austin area as late as 2008.  Builders liked Kitec because it was cheaper than copper and flexible, so it was easy to install.  Kitec water piping can't take high heat or pressure, and it corrodes quickly.  With Kitec plumbing, pipes won’t just leak, they are likely to totally burst, flooding your home!  Kitec plumbing is a ticking time bomb under your house and based on the start date and recall date (1995-2005) it only lasts about 10 year...
