From Zilker bungalows to Round Rock new builds — we fix water heaters killed by Austin's mineral-heavy water, clear stubborn Hill Country drain clogs, and stop slab leaks before they crack your foundation. Upfront pricing, tidy work, same-day slots.
24/7 emergency line. Average callback: under 15 minutes.
Austin's water runs 180–280 PPM of hardness depending on whether you're on Highland Lakes surface water or a Hill Country well. That minerals-in, sediment-out reality shapes every job we do — here's what we handle most:
Austin's hard water cuts tank life to 8–10 years instead of 12–15. Rumbling, rusty hot water, or cold showers by 8 AM? We repair, flush, and install tank & tankless units sized for Texas groundwater.
Water heater service →Oak roots in older Hyde Park and Westlake lines, grease in South Congress restaurants' pipes, and bellied clay sewer laterals in 1970s Northwest Hills suburbs — we've cleared them all. Camera inspection included on main lines.
Drain cleaning →The single best investment for an Austin home. A properly sized softener protects your heater, fixtures, and glassware — and pays for itself in appliance life. Free hardness test with every quote.
Softeners & filtration →Hot spots on the floor, a $400 Austin Water bill, the meter spinning at 2 AM — classic Texas slab-leak symptoms. Acoustic detection pinpoints leaks under foundations with minimal demolition.
Leak detection →Burst pipe, sewage backup, no water at all — call and a human answers, day or night. We stock trucks for the usual Austin emergencies: PRV failures, heater floods, and main-line stoppages.
Emergency service →Running toilets that add $30/month to your Austin Water bill, kitchen re-pipes in PEX, gas line for that new fire pit — small jobs done carefully, with parts that survive our water.

— Melissa R., Round Rock (78681)"Slab leak under the kitchen. They found it with the listening equipment, opened one square of tile, fixed it same day. Austin Water even credited part of our giant bill with their report."
— D. Okafor, Windsor Park (78723)"Quoted a softener over the phone range, then tested our water on-site before finalizing the size. Honest about what we didn't need. That's rare."

Yes. Austin Water's supply averages roughly 180 PPM hardness, and western Travis County wells can exceed 300 PPM. Sediment builds in tanks, scale clogs fixtures, and water heaters die years early without maintenance. It's the #1 driver of plumbing calls here.
Emergency response carries a service-call fee ($129–$249 depending on hour and distance), which is credited toward the repair if you proceed. We never hide it — you'll hear the number when you call, before we roll a truck.
