Frequently Asked Questions About Plumbing
Do I need a licensed plumber, or can I use a handyman?
For most plumbing beyond minor fixes, you should use a licensed plumber, and for gas line work it is required. Texas licenses plumbers for good reason: improper work can cause leaks, water damage, code violations that surface during a home sale, and safety hazards with gas. A licensed plumber's work is accountable and done to code.
How much does a plumber cost?
Plumbing cost depends entirely on the job, from a modest charge for a simple repair to a larger investment for a water heater replacement, repipe, or slab leak. The honest answer for any specific job is a diagnosis and an upfront quote before work begins, which is how we handle pricing. Call (512) 710-1032 to schedule.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
A plumbing emergency is any situation causing active damage or making a home unsafe or unusable, such as a burst pipe, a major leak, a sewage backup, or a total loss of water. In these cases, shut off the water at the main and call a plumber right away. For a suspected gas leak, leave the home and call your gas utility first.
What should I do first in a plumbing emergency?
Shut off the water first, at the fixture's local valve if the problem is isolated, or at the main shutoff for a major leak or burst pipe, then call a plumber. Knowing where your main shutoff is located before an emergency happens can save significant water damage. For any gas smell, leave and call the gas utility before anything else.
Why does hard water matter for my plumbing?
Hard water, which is common throughout Central Texas and the Highland Lakes, is high in calcium and magnesium that builds scale inside pipes, water heaters, and fixtures. Over time that buildup narrows pipes, shortens appliance life, and reduces efficiency. A whole-home water softener is the most effective way to protect your plumbing from it.
How long do water heaters last?
A conventional tank water heater typically lasts about 8 to 12 years, and a tankless unit can last longer with proper maintenance. Hard water shortens those lifespans by allowing scale to build inside the tank or heat exchanger. If your unit is in that age range and showing problems, it is worth having it assessed for repair versus replacement.
My older home has galvanized pipes. Should I repipe?
If your home still has original galvanized supply lines, repiping is often worth strong consideration, because galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside out, restricting flow and causing recurring leaks and discolored water as it ages past its service life. A plumber can assess the condition of your lines and tell you whether targeted repairs or a full repipe is the better long-term value.
Do you service grinder pumps and propane systems?
Yes. Many lakefront and rural properties rely on grinder pumps instead of standard gravity sewer connections and on propane rather than natural gas, and both require specific knowledge to service safely and correctly. As a company rooted in the Highland Lakes, we are familiar with these systems.
