Slab Leak Repair
When a copper pipe under a concrete slab leaks, we locate the break with electronic sensors, cut a small access hole, and replace the damaged section. We then patch the slab and restore the flooring.

Local service
Proudly serving Austin
Austin's housing stock runs from pre-war bungalows in the central neighborhoods to sprawling new subdivisions on the edges. The city's limestone bedrock and expansive clay soils put constant stress on underground pipes, and the hot, humid summers push water heaters and air-conditioning condensate lines to their limits. Whether it's a downtown condo with shared risers or a 1970s ranch in Zilker, our crew knows the local plumbing codes and the quirks of each area's infrastructure.
We roll up in a marked van stocked with everything from a sewer camera to a trenchless repair kit, so we can handle most jobs in one trip. Because we're based in Austin, we can get to a leak or a clog fast, and we keep the work site clean with drop cloths and boot covers. We coordinate with HOAs and property managers on access, and we always explain what we're doing before we start, so you know exactly what to expect.

What Austin homeowners call us for
Leak Detection
Austin's shifting clay soil can crack underground lines without warning. We use electronic listening devices and thermal imaging to find slab leaks and hidden pipe breaks without tearing up your yard.
Water Heater Install
Older homes in Hyde Park and Travis Heights often have undersized tanks. We size and install gas or electric units that match the household's demand, including tankless models for the newer builds.
Drain Cleaning
Tree roots from Austin's live oaks and pecans love old clay sewer lines. We clear blockages with a powered auger and camera the line afterward to confirm the pipe is clean and intact.
Gas Line Repair
Many Austin homes have outdoor gas lines for grills and pool heaters. We repair leaks and run new lines to code, pressure-testing every joint to ensure safety before backfilling.
Typical projects
The kind of work we take on in Austin
Water Heater Replacement
We disconnect the old tank, drain it, and haul it away. The new unit is installed with flexible supply lines, a drip pan, and a seismic strap, then tested for proper temperature and pressure relief.
Sewer Line Hydro-jetting
For stubborn grease or root blockages, we insert a high-pressure hose into the cleanout and blast the pipe walls clean. A camera inspection afterward confirms the line is fully open.

Where we work
Across Austin
Central Austin
From the University area south to Lady Bird Lake, these older neighborhoods have galvanized steel and cast-iron pipes that corrode over time. We frequently replace supply lines and repipe bathrooms in 1940s bungalows.
South Congress Corridor
This stretch of 78704 has a mix of renovated cottages and new infill townhomes. We handle water heater upgrades and sewer line repairs on tight lots where access is limited by fences and landscaping.
The Domain Area
High-density apartments and mixed-use buildings north of downtown require us to coordinate with building engineers. Our work here often involves repairing shared drain stacks and replacing fixtures in multi-story units.
Before work starts
Permits & local rules in Austin
City of Austin Permits
Most water heater replacements, gas line work, and sewer repairs require a permit from the City of Austin Development Services Department. Your contractor should pull the permit, and you can confirm the scope with the permit counter before work begins.
Historic District Rules
If your home is in a local historic district, exterior plumbing changes—like a new gas meter or sewer cleanout—may need approval from the Historic Preservation Office. Check with your neighborhood association or the city planner before scheduling.

What Austin homeowners say

“We found a very slow plumbing leak downstairs... 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.”
