Slab Leak Repair
A copper or PEX line under a concrete slab develops a pinhole leak from soil movement or abrasion. We break out a small section of slab, repair the pipe, and patch the concrete, leaving the floor level and sound.

Local service
Proudly serving Austin
Austin's housing stock spans from pre-war bungalows in the central neighborhoods to sprawling new construction in the suburbs. The city's hot summers and clay-rich soils put constant stress on underground pipes, often causing shifting, cracking, and root intrusion. With a dense urban core and fast-growing outskirts, the work here demands a crew that can handle everything from tight crawl spaces in older homes to complex new builds on expansive lots.
We roll up with a fully stocked truck so we can handle most jobs in one trip, no matter which part of town you're in. We lay down floor protection and run a shop vac as we go, keeping the dust and mess contained. Being based in Austin means we know the traffic patterns and can get to you fast, and we treat every job with the same straightforward approach we'd use for a neighbor.
Brayden's Plumbing works across Austin, TX & the surrounding area, so a crew is never far from Austin. Call (512) 890-3144 or request a free estimate and we’ll come out and take a look.

What Austin homeowners call us for
Leak Repair
Austin's expansive clay soil shifts with the dry heat and sudden rains, stressing copper and PEX lines under slabs and in walls. We locate the leak, open the wall or floor cleanly, and make a lasting repair.
Water Heater Installation
Older central Austin homes often have undersized tank heaters, while newer suburban houses need efficient units sized for family use. We handle gas and electric swaps, including code-compliant venting and seismic strapping.
Drain Cleaning
Tree roots from live oaks and pecans find their way into clay sewer lines all over town. We use a powered auger to clear the blockage, then camera the line to confirm the pipe is clean and intact.
Gas Line Repair
Many Austin homes have gas for cooking, heating, and tankless water heaters. We repair leaks in black iron or CSST lines, always pressure-testing the system to ensure it's safe before we leave.
Typical projects
The kind of work we take on in Austin
Water Heater Replacement
An old 40-gallon tank in a garage or closet is swapped for a new energy-efficient unit. We disconnect and haul away the old heater, install the new one with proper expansion tank and pan, and test the system.
Sewer Line Trenchless Repair
A cracked or root-filled clay sewer line under a driveway or landscaping is relined with a cured-in-place pipe liner. We clean and camera the line, then insert and inflate the liner, avoiding the need to dig up the yard.

Where we work
Across Austin
Downtown and Central Austin
Older homes in Hyde Park, Zilker, and Travis Heights have galvanized or cast-iron pipes that corrode over time. Work here often involves careful access through tight basements or pier-and-beam crawl spaces, with minimal disruption to finished interiors.
The 183 and MoPac Corridors
Newer subdivisions and apartment complexes along these highways have modern PVC drains and PEX supply lines. Common calls are slab leaks from settling foundations and water heater replacements in tight utility closets.
The Hill Country Fringe
Properties on the western edge of town sit on rocky limestone, making trenching for sewer line repairs a challenge. We often work with jackhammers to reach buried lines, and we coordinate with homeowners on access across large lots.
Before work starts
Permits & local rules in Austin
Water Heater Replacement
The City of Austin requires a permit for most water heater installations, including tankless units. Your homeowner's association may also have rules about exterior venting; check with the city's Development Services Department before starting work.
Gas Line Work
Any new or repaired gas line must be permitted and inspected by the City of Austin. A licensed plumber will pull the permit and schedule the pressure test; you should confirm that the contractor handles that paperwork as part of the job.

“We found a very slow plumbing leak downstairs, and my husband has been extra busy with work lately, so we needed a plumber to take care of it. Chris arrived a little early and got right to checking the leak. He was friendly, experienced, and explained clearly what plumbing repair would be needed. Before leaving, he asked if there was anything else that needed attention, so I mentioned that our kitchen faucet had been dripping for a long time. He handled that faucet repair right away, and the price was fair and reasonable.”

“I can't recommend this plumbing service enough. Early Monday morning, eddie called me back and had chris at my home in Austin before 9:00 a.m. chris fixed the plumbing issue quickly and professionally. He also took time to explain that it was not a major sewer problem, just a normal drain build-up from years of everyday use. What stood out most was how respectful, honest, and helpful both eddie and chris were.”
