Three decades working Jollyville plumbing means we know these systems intimately. The karst limestone and steep terrain create specific challenges your plumbing deals with every day.
Most of Jollyville sits on fractured limestone with underground caverns and natural fissures. Tree roots find their way into every crack in your sewer line looking for moisture. We see this constantly in neighborhoods like Spicewood at Balcones Canyonlands and the older sections near Cat Hollow Park. Those mature live oaks and cedar elms send roots 30 feet deep, and your clay pipes from the '80s and '90s can't handle it.
Your water comes from Lake Travis and groundwater sources - all extremely hard. Your water heater accumulates sediment three times faster than it would in other Texas cities. Tankless systems need descaling every six months instead of annually. Faucets develop calcium buildup constantly. We account for this mineral content in every installation because we've repaired enough failed systems to know what happens when you don't.
The steep terrain throughout Jollyville means your home's elevation matters. Homes on hillsides need properly pitched drain lines accounting for elevation changes. Water pressure varies significantly between houses at different heights. We adjust our approach based on where your home sits because standard solutions don't work on Jollyville's hills.
