Plan My RemodelOur Story
My dad handed me my first pipe wrench when I was 14. Said — son, learn to fix things with your hands. People will always need you.
— Dale Mercer Jr., Master PlumberRobert Mercer Sr. founded this company out of his truck in 1978 with three customers and a reputation for showing up on time. His son Dale joined in 1995, and now Dale's son, Tyler, runs the field crews. Three generations — same last name, same phone number, same commitment.
We're not a franchise. We don't sub out work to strangers. When you call us, a Mercer — or someone who's worked alongside one for years — shows up at your door. We've fixed pipes in Austin homes that have been in families as long as ours has been in business.

Customer Reviews
"Called at 7am with a broken pipe flooding my kitchen. Tyler was at my door by 8:30. Fixed in two hours, cleaned up after himself. Haven't had a plumber actually clean up after themselves in 20 years. These guys are the real deal."
"Had three plumbers come look at our slab leak. Two said we'd have to cut the floor open. Mercer & Sons found it with their equipment and rerouted without touching a single tile. Saved us $8,000 minimum. Family for life."
"Dale came out and gave me a straight answer without trying to upsell me. The price he quoted was the price I paid. No surprises on the invoice. In a world of bait-and-switch contractors, these guys are refreshingly honest."
