Slab Leak Detection and Repair
A copper line under a concrete slab on a hillside lot develops a leak from soil movement. We use electronic listening devices to pinpoint the leak, cut a small access hole, repair the pipe, and patch the concrete.

Local service
Proudly serving Lakeway
Lakeway is a hillside community on Lake Travis, with homes built on limestone ridges and steep slopes. The housing here ranges from lakefront custom builds to established neighborhoods with older plumbing systems. The rocky terrain makes digging for sewer line repairs slow, and the hot, dry summers can dry out soil under slabs, causing shifts that stress pipes. Many homes have extensive outdoor kitchens and pool equipment that require gas and water lines running across the property.
We bring a truck equipped for rocky site conditions, including jackhammers and compact excavation tools. We work carefully on steep lots to avoid disturbing landscaping and drainage. Being based in the Austin area means we're only about 20 minutes from most Lakeway addresses, so we can get to you quickly for emergencies. We treat every job with the same no-nonsense approach we'd use at a friend's house.
Brayden's Plumbing works across Austin, TX & the surrounding area, so a crew is never far from Lakeway. Call (512) 890-3144 or request a free estimate and we’ll come out and take a look.
Local demand
What Lakeway homeowners call us for
Leak Repair
Limestone bedrock under Lakeway homes can abrade or shift against copper lines, causing hidden leaks. We find the leak with electronic detection, then make a clean repair through the slab or wall.
Water Heater Installation
Many Lakeway homes have tankless water heaters to save space in tight utility closets. We install gas and electric units, including the necessary venting and gas line upgrades, sized for the household's hot water demand.
Sewer Line Repair
The rocky soil makes traditional trenching for sewer line repairs difficult and disruptive. We often use trenchless methods like pipe bursting or lining to replace old clay or cast-iron pipes without tearing up the yard.
Gas Line Repair
Outdoor kitchens, pool heaters, and fire pits are common in Lakeway, all running on gas. We repair leaks in exposed or buried gas lines, pressure-test the system, and ensure all connections are secure and code-compliant.
Typical projects
The kind of work we take on in Lakeway
Tankless Water Heater Installation
A homeowner wants to replace a bulky tank heater with a tankless unit in a garage. We run a new gas line, install the unit with proper venting, and set up the recirculation loop for instant hot water at the far fixtures.
Sewer Line Pipe Bursting
An old clay sewer line under a driveway is cracked and full of roots. We feed a bursting head through the line, pulling a new HDPE pipe behind it, and reconnect the house to the city line without digging up the concrete.

Where we work
Across Lakeway
Lakeway Lakeside Properties
Homes along the Lake Travis shoreline have steep lots with exposed rock and limited access for equipment. We often work on slab leaks and outdoor gas lines, using hand tools and careful staging to avoid damaging the slope.
The Hills of Lakeway
The gated communities and custom homes on the higher ridges have long driveway runs and deep utility trenches. Common calls are water heater replacements in garages and sewer line clogs from roots in the thin soil over rock.
The Lakeway Town Center
The commercial and mixed-use area around the Lakeway Boulevard and Lohmans Crossing intersection has older plumbing in strip malls and offices. We handle leak repairs and drain cleaning for businesses, often working after hours to minimize disruption.

What Austin homeowners say

“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.”
