Question 1

How much does a plumber cost in Lubbock?

Accepted Answer

Plumber pricing in Lubbock varies by job type, but Armstrong always provides upfront, flat-rate pricing before any work begins — never hourly surprises. Most service calls include a diagnostic fee that's applied toward the repair when you book with our licensed Lubbock plumbers. Call Armstrong for a quote on your specific job.

Question 2

How much does it cost to fix a leak?

Accepted Answer

Leak repair cost in Lubbock depends on the leak's location (faucet, supply line, slab, or behind a wall) and how much access is required. Simple visible leaks are inexpensive; hidden or slab leaks cost more because of detection work. Armstrong's licensed plumbers diagnose first, then give you a flat-rate quote before lifting a wrench.

Question 3

How much does it cost to replace a water heater?

Accepted Answer

Water heater replacement cost in Lubbock depends on tank vs. tankless, gas vs. electric, and capacity. Armstrong installs A.O. Smith, Rheem, and Navien water heaters with upfront pricing and flexible financing options through our ASAP plans. Call now for a free water heater replacement estimate.

Question 4

How much does drain cleaning cost in Lubbock?

Accepted Answer

Drain cleaning in Lubbock varies with the location and severity of the clog. Armstrong provides upfront, flat-rate drain cleaning pricing plus same-day service and video inspection so you see exactly what's causing the problem — no surprise charges.

Question 5

How much does it cost to replace a toilet?

Accepted Answer

Toilet installation cost in Lubbock depends on the toilet model and whether shutoff valves, supply lines, or flanges need replacing. Armstrong's plumbers handle removal, haul-away, and full installation at a flat rate quoted up front.

Question 6

Is it cheaper to repair or replace a water heater?

Accepted Answer

If your water heater is under 8 years old and the issue is a single failed part, repair is usually cheaper. Past 10 years — or with leaks from the tank itself — replacement is almost always the smarter long-term value. Armstrong's Lubbock plumbers give you an honest, no-pressure recommendation either way.

Question 7

Who is the best emergency plumber near me in Lubbock?

Accepted Answer

Armstrong Plumbing, Air, and Electric has been Lubbock's trusted emergency plumber since 1934 — the oldest plumbing company in the city. We're available 24/7, 365 days a year with licensed plumbers on-call for burst pipes, sewer backups, and no-hot-water emergencies. Better Call Armstrong.

Question 8

Is there a plumber open now near me?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Armstrong is open right now. Our Lubbock dispatch line is staffed 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and we have licensed plumbers on-call for same-day and after-hours emergencies across Lubbock and West Texas.

Question 9

Who can fix a burst pipe near me?

Accepted Answer

Armstrong's emergency plumbers handle burst pipe repair across Lubbock, Wolfforth, Shallowater, Idalou, Slaton, and surrounding West Texas towns. Shut off your main water valve, then Call Now — we'll get a licensed Lubbock plumber to you fast to stop the damage and restore your water.

Question 10

What should I do if my toilet is overflowing?

Accepted Answer

First, turn off the shutoff valve behind the toilet (turn clockwise). Lift the tank lid and push the flapper down to stop water flow. Then Call Armstrong — our Lubbock plumbers handle emergency toilet repair and clogged sewer line diagnosis same-day, 24/7.

Question 11

Who do I call for a plumbing leak?

Accepted Answer

Call Armstrong. Our licensed Lubbock plumbers handle every type of plumbing leak — under-sink, slab, supply-line, hidden, and emergency burst pipes — with same-day response and leak detection equipment that finds the source without tearing up your home.

Question 12

Can a plumber come out today?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Armstrong offers same-day plumber service across Lubbock and West Texas. Call our dispatcher and a licensed plumber is usually on the way within hours — sooner for true emergencies.

Question 13

Who can unclog a drain near me?

Accepted Answer

Armstrong's Lubbock plumbers offer same-day drain cleaning for kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, tubs, toilets, garbage disposals, and main sewer lines. We use professional augers and video inspection — not just chemicals — so the clog is actually gone.

Question 14

Why does my sink keep backing up?

Accepted Answer

A sink that repeatedly backs up usually means there's a partial clog deeper in the drain line — grease, soap scum, or debris your plunger can't reach. Armstrong's plumbers clear it with professional drain cleaning equipment and inspect with a camera so the clog doesn't return next month.

Question 15

Why does my toilet keep clogging?

Accepted Answer

Frequent toilet clogs often point to a problem beyond the toilet itself — a partial blockage in the branch line, a damaged or undersized sewer line, or even tree roots. An Armstrong Lubbock plumber can run a camera inspection to find the root cause and fix it for good.

Question 16

How do I know if my sewer line is clogged?

Accepted Answer

Signs of a clogged sewer line include multiple drains backing up at once, gurgling toilets, sewage odors, water pooling around floor drains, or soggy spots in the yard. Armstrong's sewer line plumbers use video camera inspection to confirm the location and severity before recommending repair or replacement.

Question 17

Why does my house smell like sewer?

Accepted Answer

A sewer smell inside your home usually means a dry P-trap, a damaged vent stack, a broken wax ring under a toilet, or a cracked sewer line. Sewer gas can be hazardous — Call Armstrong and a licensed Lubbock plumber will diagnose and fix the source.

Question 18

Do I need a plumber or a drain cleaner?

Accepted Answer

Drain cleaning services only clear clogs. A licensed plumber diagnoses the underlying cause, repairs damaged pipes, and handles permits and code compliance. Armstrong does both — our Lubbock plumbers clear the clog and tell you whether the line itself needs attention.

Question 19

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?

Accepted Answer

Common signs include an unexplained jump in your water bill, the sound of running water when nothing is on, warm or damp spots on floors, mildew smell, or a water meter dial that moves with all fixtures off. Armstrong's Lubbock plumbers use electronic leak detection to pinpoint hidden leaks without ripping out walls.

Question 20

Why is my water bill so high?

Accepted Answer

A sudden high water bill almost always means a hidden leak — a running toilet, a slab leak, an irrigation line, or a supply line behind a wall. Armstrong's licensed plumbers in Lubbock offer hidden leak detection that finds the source fast and saves you hundreds in wasted water.

Question 21

Who fixes slab leaks near me?

Accepted Answer

Armstrong's Lubbock plumbers specialize in slab leak detection and repair. We use specialized acoustic and pressure equipment to pinpoint the leak under your foundation, then recommend the least-invasive fix — spot repair, pipe rerouting, or repipe — before any concrete gets touched.

Question 22

What causes low water pressure?

Accepted Answer

Low water pressure can be caused by mineral buildup in pipes, a failing pressure regulator, hidden leaks, partially closed shutoff valves, or municipal supply issues. An Armstrong Lubbock plumber can diagnose the cause and restore proper pressure.

Question 23

Can a plumber find a leak behind a wall?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Armstrong uses electronic leak detection, thermal imaging, and acoustic equipment to locate leaks behind walls or under floors without unnecessary demolition — then makes targeted repairs that minimize damage to your home.

Question 24

Why is my toilet running constantly?

Accepted Answer

A constantly running toilet is usually a worn flapper, a misadjusted float, or a failing fill valve — and it can waste hundreds of gallons a day. Armstrong's Lubbock plumbers handle running toilet repair same-day, often in a single visit.

Question 25

Why is my toilet leaking at the base?

Accepted Answer

A toilet leaking at the base typically means a failed wax ring, loose closet bolts, or a cracked toilet flange. Don't ignore it — water seeping under the floor causes subfloor rot and mold. Call Armstrong for prompt toilet repair in Lubbock.

Question 26

Should I repair or replace my toilet?

Accepted Answer

Repair makes sense for a one-off issue like a flapper, fill valve, or wax ring. Replace if the toilet cracks, runs constantly even after parts replacement, frequently clogs, or is an older high-water-use model. Armstrong's Lubbock plumbers will give you an honest recommendation.

Question 27

Why is my faucet dripping?

Accepted Answer

A dripping faucet is usually a worn cartridge, washer, or O-ring — easy fixes that Armstrong's plumbers handle quickly. Left alone, a slow drip wastes thousands of gallons a year and adds up on your Lubbock water bill.

Question 28

Can a plumber install a new sink or faucet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Armstrong's licensed Lubbock plumbers handle full fixture installation — sinks, faucets, garbage disposals, tubs, shower fixtures, bidets, hot water dispensers, ice maker lines, and more. We also remove and haul away your old fixtures.

Question 29

Why is my shower pressure low?

Accepted Answer

Low shower pressure is often a clogged showerhead (Lubbock's hard water is rough on fixtures), a faulty pressure-balancing valve, or a deeper supply issue. Armstrong's plumbers diagnose the cause — sometimes the fix is a quick descale, sometimes a valve replacement.

Question 30

How do I choose a good plumber?

Accepted Answer

Look for a licensed and insured plumber with a long local track record, upfront flat-rate pricing, real customer reviews, 24/7 availability, and warranty-backed work. Armstrong checks every box — and we've been the plumber Lubbock has trusted since 1934.

Question 31

Should I hire a licensed plumber?

Accepted Answer

Always. Unlicensed work can violate code, void insurance, fail inspection, and create real safety hazards (especially with gas lines and water heaters). Every Armstrong plumber is fully licensed in Texas and works to code on every job.

Question 32

What should I ask before hiring a plumber?

Accepted Answer

Ask whether they're licensed and insured in Texas, how long they've served Lubbock, whether pricing is flat-rate or hourly, whether they warranty their work, and whether they offer 24/7 emergency service. Armstrong answers yes to all of the above — and has done so since 1934.

Question 33

Who is the most trusted plumber in Lubbock?

Accepted Answer

Armstrong Plumbing, Air, and Electric is Lubbock's oldest plumbing company — family-owned and serving the community since 1934. With over 125 employees, licensed plumbers, 24/7 service, and a 2025 Lubbock Business of the Year award, Armstrong is the name Lubbock has trusted for over 90 years.

Question 34

What plumber has the best reviews near me?

Accepted Answer

Armstrong consistently earns top-rated reviews from Lubbock customers on Google for our licensed plumbers, fast emergency response, and upfront pricing. We were named Lubbock's 2025 Business of the Year — a direct reflection of the customer experience we've built since 1934.

Question 35

Do plumbers offer same-day service?

Accepted Answer

Armstrong does. Same-day plumbing service is standard for our Lubbock dispatch, and we run 24/7 emergency service for true emergencies — burst pipes, no hot water, sewer backups, and gas leaks.
