Plumbing Services in Kingsland, TX
Kingsland & Lake LBJ · Llano County
Lantz Home Services is a family-owned, licensed plumbing company that has served Central Texas since 1972, and we know the Lake LBJ area well. We work on the plumbing that lake-town homes actually have: private wells and pressure tanks, lake and grinder pumps, KWSC and KMUD service lines, septic-friendly fixtures, and repipes on 1970s lake houses. Whether it is a burst line at a weekend rental or a water heater out at a full-time home, we bring upfront pricing and same-day availability to the 78639 area.

Plumbing we handle around the lake
A full residential and light-commercial menu, tuned for how Kingsland homes are actually built and used.
Well, lake & grinder pumps — Pressure tanks, well pumps, lake pumps, and grinder pump repair, service, and replacement for homes outside the KWSC main. Pump service is one of our specialties on the Highland Lakes.
Water heaters — Tank and tankless repair, replacement, and flush-outs. Hard water shortens tank life out here, so we size and protect accordingly.
Leak detection & repair — Slab, wall, yard, gas-line, and dock-line leaks found with electronic and thermal equipment, then repaired with minimal disruption.
Repipes & pipe repair — Failing galvanized and early-poly lines in older lake houses replaced with PEX or copper. Burst-pipe response in winter freezes.
Drains, sewer & septic — Camera inspection, hydro jetting, cleanouts, and repairs that respect septic systems common on rural and waterfront lots.
Water treatment — Softeners, filtration, and reverse osmosis to handle the hard, mineral-heavy water typical of Highland Lakes supply and wells.
Fixtures & remodels — Faucets, toilets, tubs, showers, and full bath or kitchen rough-ins for renovations and short-term-rental turnovers.
Emergency & rental coverage — Response 7 days a week for burst lines, no-water calls, and water heater failures, including absentee-owned weekend and vacation homes.
Plumbing built for a Hill Country lake town
Kingsland is not the Austin suburbs, and its plumbing does not behave like the suburbs either. Here is what actually drives the calls we get.
Hard, mineral-heavy water. Whether your home draws from Kingsland Water Supply, KMUD, or a private well, Highland Lakes water runs hard. Scale builds inside water heaters, tankless units, and fixtures faster than most homeowners expect, which is why softening and regular flush-outs matter more here than in soft-water markets.
Wells, pressure tanks, and septic. Plenty of Kingsland and Llano County properties sit off the main, on private wells and septic systems. That changes everything downstream: pressure-tank sizing, pump troubleshooting, and choosing fixtures and additives that will not overload a drain field. Pump work is something Lantz handles every week across the lake communities.
1970s lake houses and weekend homes. A large share of the housing stock is older lakefront and second homes. Galvanized supply lines, early polybutylene, and decades of patch repairs are common, which is why repipes and leak detection are some of our most-requested jobs in 78639.
Short-term rentals and absentee owners. Kingsland's vacation-rental market means a lot of homes sit empty between guests. We handle remote diagnosis, freeze-season shut-offs, and fast turnaround so a leak does not run for days before anyone notices.
Floodplain and waterfront realities. Lake LBJ is a constant-level lake, but lots near the Llano and Colorado arms carry floodplain and shoreline considerations that affect where lines run and how they are protected.
Neighborhoods and areas we serve around Kingsland
We cover Kingsland proper, the Lighthouse Country Club and Legends areas, Packsaddle, Sunrise Beach Village, Granite Shoals, and the Lake LBJ shoreline communities, plus nearby Marble Falls, Horseshoe Bay, Llano, and Burnet. With offices in Lago Vista and Austin, the Lantz team is already close by.
Who is doing the work
Every job in Kingsland is performed or supervised by a licensed Texas plumber who knows the difference between a KWSC service-line issue and a private-well pressure problem, and who has worked on the older lake houses and septic-served lots that define this market. Lantz Master Plumbers like Justin Barnett are known for walking homeowners through their options with clear, defined pricing before any work begins. We pull permits where required, quote flat-rate up front, offer free second opinions, and stand behind the work.

Kingsland Plumbing: Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does Lantz Home Services repair well, lake, and grinder pumps in Kingsland, TX?
A. Yes. Lantz Home Services repairs, services, and replaces well pumps, lake pumps, and grinder pumps for homes in Kingsland and across the Lake LBJ area. Pump service is a Lantz specialty, covering pressure tanks, pressure-reducing valves, and low-water-pressure diagnosis on properties outside the KWSC and KMUD public mains, which is common on rural and waterfront Kingsland lots. Lantz has served Central Texas since 1972 and is open 7 days a week.
Q. Why do water heaters fail quickly in Kingsland and the Lake LBJ area?
A. Water heaters fail faster in Kingsland because Highland Lakes and well water is hard and mineral-heavy. Scale collects at the bottom of tank heaters and inside tankless units, which shortens equipment life and reduces efficiency. Regular flush-outs and a properly sized water softener can extend a water heater's lifespan in the Kingsland and Lake LBJ area. Lantz Home Services installs softeners and services both tank and tankless units.
Q. Can a plumber service a short-term rental or weekend home in Kingsland when the owner is away?
A. Yes. Lantz Home Services handles plumbing at short-term rentals and weekend homes in Kingsland when the owner is not present. Service for absentee and vacation-rental owners includes coordinated access, remote diagnosis and quoting, freeze-season shut-offs, and fast turnaround between guests, which prevents a small leak from becoming major water damage. This is a large part of Lantz's work in the Lake LBJ vacation-rental market.
Q. Do 1970s lake houses in Kingsland need a repipe?
A. Many 1970s-era Kingsland lake houses eventually need a repipe because they still have galvanized or early polybutylene supply lines that corrode, restrict water flow, and develop pinhole leaks. Lantz Home Services inspects existing lines and advises whether targeted repairs will hold or a PEX or copper repipe is the better long-term option, and offers a free second opinion. Repipes and leak detection are among the most-requested jobs in the 78639 area.
Q. Does Lantz Home Services offer emergency plumbing in Kingsland?
A. Yes. Lantz Home Services offers emergency plumbing in Kingsland and is open 7 days a week, until 9pm Monday through Saturday. Emergency response covers burst pipes, no-water calls, sewer and septic backups, and water heater failures across Kingsland and the Lake LBJ area. Call 512-710-10342to reach the Lantz team.

Preventative maintenance is the backbone of Lantz Home Services. Once again being part of their PM program I avoided a complete shutdown of our grinder pump. Lantz Master Plumber Justin Barnett arrived and I thought all was well until he requested that I take a “peek” into what I would describe as a total catastrophe about to happen at any moment. The grinder system was a horror of failing pump and sewage accumulation and related nasties. Justin told me my options from doing nothing to fixing it with 3 options, which were clearly defined with costs and various replacement components and when it would be finished. We chose wisely. Justin returned with all of the components and in 4 hours it was stripped completely and reassembled with new components. Justin is organized, articulate, educated and polite. Bravo Lantz Home Services PS. I worked in industrial Preventative Maintenance for 25 years. These guys are the real deal.- Randy L.

I had a great experience with Lantz Home Services. We ran into an electrical issue at our lake house late in the day, and I honestly didn’t think we’d be able to get an electrician out that evening. When I called, they reassured me that someone would be available—and they delivered. Nick, their electrician, arrived around 7 PM and had everything resolved by 9 PM. He was prompt, thorough, and very courteous throughout the entire process. He quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it efficiently, all at a very fair price. I truly appreciate their responsiveness and professionalism. I highly recommend Lantz Home Services and will definitely be using them again in the future.- Larry W.

Zachary was beyond helpful! He jumped straight to the problem, made sure everything was properly working, walked me through the fix and was straightforward from the get go about what the potential issues could be and what the estimated repairs were as well! He kept me informed and even shared pictures when I couldn't be there right away. After everything was done he put everything back the way it was. This was a grinder pump drainage pipe repair. The site looked as if he was never there! Five stars.- Simon V.

I had an excellent experience with this HVAC company and especially with Moses, who came out for a second opinion. After a previous technician tried to convince me that I needed a full system replacement (on a 4-year-old unit), Moses took a completely different and highly professional approach. He performed thorough diagnostics before suggesting anything and took the time to properly assess the system instead of jumping to conclusions. He confirmed that there was no leak, no major component failure, and that the system was actually in good working condition. The issue was likely electrical, not something requiring expensive replacements. This immediately put my mind at ease. What really stood out is their honesty and integrity. Instead of pushing unnecessary work, they were transparent about the fact that no major repairs were needed. They also documented their findings and shared everything clearly, which builds a lot of trust. Huge shoutout to Moses for being knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely looking out for the customer’s best interest. It’s rare to find this level of honesty in the industry. Highly recommend if you want accurate diagnostics and fair, trustworthy service.- Annamaria

Excellent service, fast, and professional team. Willie Krueger was the tech who came through, he solved plumbing issues that had bugged me for almost 10 years in about 20 minutes. Will absolutely use them in the future for anything I can, and would highly recommend to anyone I need of their services.- Jonathan J.

Zac was very cordial and made sure I was aware of what he diagnosed and what it was going to cost. We had one of our Heat Pumps replaced last week, the Techs were John and Landyn. The response was amazing as was the changeout. I can not speak highly enough about the professionalism we received!- Gerald P.

The folks at Lantz Home Services installed this Tankless Water Heater for me and were absolutely amazing! They put up new wall paneling to cover some wall defects I had from the old tank water heater. So happy with my new water heater!!- Nichole W.

Mark and Willie came out to the Christian Brothers Automotive pflugerville location and were able to handle the commercial plumbing issue that 3 other plumbing companies were not able to figure out. We will only be using them form now on the difference was night and day between them and the others. On a side note Willie’s service truck was the cleanest most well organized service truck we all had ever seen!!! They take pride in their service and we appreciate that in our service industry as well!- Ian D.
