We've been fixing plumbing in Leander homes since the 1990s. That means we know exactly how houses in Crystal Falls were built, what pipes the builders used in Travisso, and why homes in Sarita Valley all have the same pressure problems. It's not just about knowing the area. It's about knowing the plumbing.
Most homes in Bryson and Larkspur were plumbed between 2010 and 2015. They used PEX supply lines and ABS drain pipes. Good materials, but installed during the construction boom when speed mattered more than precision. We redo connections in these neighborhoods constantly because they weren't done right the first time.
Older homes in Deerbrooke? Different story. Cast iron drains from the 1990s that are starting to rust through. Copper supply lines that are corroding from the inside because of our hard water. Original fixtures that are finally giving up. We know what to expect before we even pull up to these houses.
The clay soil moves. Everyone knows that. But what matters is that your pipes move with it, and the connections are where they fail. We've replaced enough under-slab lines in Crystal Falls to know exactly where they're going to crack: 15 feet from the foundation wall, right where the soil pressure is highest during wet weather.
Your water comes from Lake Travis, and it's hard. Not a little hard. Seriously hard. Water heaters in Leander need flushing twice as often as they would in Austin. Faucet aerators clog in months instead of years. We factor this into every installation because we've seen what happens when you don't.
