Plumbing Repair in West Lake Hills, Texas

Leaks waste water, damage property, and worsen steadily until you address them. Early intervention prevents minor issues from becoming major expenses.

• Burst Pipe Repair: Burst pipes flood homes rapidly with water under full municipal pressure. During occasional hard freezes, exposed pipes in attics or along exterior walls become vulnerable. We respond immediately to shut off water, remove damaged pipe sections, install quality replacements, and inspect other vulnerable areas.

• Leak Detection & Repair: Many leaks develop where you can't see them easily. Behind stone facades, under elevated decks, or within hillside retaining structures, water escapes unnoticed for months. Travis County's limestone bedrock and shifting soil stress pipe connections as ground moisture changes. We use acoustic sensors, thermal imaging, and pressure testing to locate hidden leaks and complete lasting repairs.

• Repiping: If you're repairing leaks several times yearly, your plumbing has reached its service limit. Many West Lake Hills homes built in the 1970s and 80s still have original galvanized steel or early copper installations showing their age. Repiping removes deteriorated materials and installs modern systems designed for 50-plus years of trouble-free operation.

Plumbing fixtures wear out through daily use. Drains accumulate material that gradually restricts flow. Professional repair restores normal function.

• Fixture Repair: Constantly dripping faucets waste water 24 hours daily while creating mineral stains that resist cleaning. Toilets that run continuously waste even more. Showerheads that leak at connections or spray unpredictably frustrate you every morning. We replace worn internal mechanisms to stop waste and restore proper operation.

• Rooter Services: Tree roots seek water aggressively and infiltrate sewer lines through joints and small cracks. West Lake Hills' mature live oaks, cedar elms, and native vegetation send powerful root systems toward sewer lines. Once roots penetrate pipes they expand until they create major blockages. Our rooter service cuts through root intrusions and restores normal wastewater flow.

• Drain Clearing: Kitchen drains collect grease that solidifies as it cools. Bathroom drains trap hair and soap residue. These materials combine over time into stubborn clogs that slow drainage or stop it completely. Chemical drain products rarely solve the underlying problem and can corrode older pipes. We use professional drain equipment and hydro-jetting to remove blockages thoroughly.

Main water and sewer lines operate underground where problems develop invisibly until they cause sudden, serious failures.

• Sewer Line Repair: Sewer line failures back sewage into homes through floor drains and toilets, creating contamination and health hazards. Multiple backed-up drains simultaneously, gurgling sounds from toilets when water runs elsewhere, or sewage odors in your yard all indicate main sewer line problems. We inspect lines with video cameras to see exactly what's wrong, then complete necessary repairs or replacement.

• Water Line Repair: Your main water line delivers all household water from the municipal supply. When it breaks, you lose pressure throughout the house or notice unexplained soggy areas in landscaping. Corrosion, ground movement on sloped lots, and root intrusion all damage water lines. We locate the problem section, excavate access carefully, replace damaged pipe, and restore full pressure.

Water heaters and treatment systems work quietly until they fail, then you notice because hot water and water quality affect every household activity.

• Water Heater Repair: When water heaters stop producing hot water, everything from morning showers to evening dishes becomes problematic. Failed heating elements, malfunctioning thermostats, extinguished pilot lights, and leaking tanks all prevent water heaters from working. We identify the specific failure and complete repairs to restore hot water promptly.

• Water Softener Repair: Travis County water contains significant mineral content that creates hard water issues throughout West Lake Hills. These minerals deposit white scale on fixtures, make soap difficult to rinse away, and accelerate wear on water heaters and appliances. A functioning water softener removes calcium and magnesium before they damage your plumbing. When softeners stop regenerating or fail to soften effectively, we repair control modules, resin tanks, or valve assemblies.

• Tankless Water Heater Repair: Tankless water heaters provide continuous hot water without storage tanks, but their electronic controls and compact heat exchangers require specialized repair expertise. Error codes, ignition system failures, and mineral scale buildup all prevent these units from operating properly. We understand these complex systems and stock manufacturer-specific components.

Some plumbing systems demand immediate professional attention because failures create safety risks or extensive property damage.

• Gas Line Repair: Natural gas fuels water heaters, furnaces, cooktops, and dryers in many West Lake Hills homes. Gas line leaks create immediate danger from potential explosion, fire, and carbon monoxide poisoning. The distinctive rotten egg odor, hissing sounds near gas appliances, or dead vegetation along underground lines all signal leaks requiring emergency response. Our licensed technicians use electronic detection to locate leaks precisely and complete code-compliant repairs.

• Sump Pump Repair: While rare in West Lake Hills, some properties with below-grade spaces or areas prone to water collection rely on sump pumps during heavy rains. Failed pumps allow water accumulation that can damage foundations and create mold conditions. We repair or replace switches, motors, and discharge systems to maintain protection.
