Hydro-Jetting a Main Drain
A kitchen drain that backs up every few months has years of grease and scale buildup. We run a camera first, then use a hydro-jetter at 4000 psi to scour the pipe clean and restore flow.

Local service
Proudly serving Sunset Valley
Sunset Valley is a small, family-oriented community just south of the Barton Creek Greenbelt, with a mix of 1970s ranch homes and newer subdivisions on larger lots. The limestone bedrock sits close to the surface in many yards, making trenching for sewer and water lines a slow, careful job. The area sees heavy rain in spring and fall, which can saturate the ground and cause foundation movement that stresses plumbing. Many homes here have original cast-iron waste pipes that are nearing the end of their service life. The town's layout, with winding roads and cul-de-sacs, means our trucks need to park carefully to avoid blocking traffic.
Our crew arrives in a marked truck stocked with the parts and tools common to Sunset Valley homes. We set up a work zone with cones and flags when we need to block a driveway or a narrow street. We know the local soil conditions and bring a rock saw for limestone when needed. Because we are based in Austin, we can get to Sunset Valley quickly and can run back to the shop for specialty fittings. We handle all permit paperwork with the City of Austin, and we walk you through what the job will involve before we break ground. We leave the site clean and the job done.

Local demand
What Sunset Valley homeowners call us for
Drain Cleaning
The older cast-iron waste pipes in Sunset Valley collect scale and roots from the mature oak trees. We use a hydro-jetter and a camera to clear the line and confirm it is fully open.
Water Heater Repair
Sunset Valley homes often have tank water heaters in tight closets or garages. We diagnose issues like a failed thermocouple or a leaking T&P valve and replace only the faulty part.
Gas Line Installation
Many homeowners in Sunset Valley are adding gas cooktops or outdoor grills. We run new black iron or flexible gas lines from the meter, pressure-test the system, and connect the appliance.
Faucet and Fixture Repair
The hard water in Sunset Valley causes mineral buildup in faucet cartridges and shower valves. We disassemble the fixture, clean or replace the internal parts, and restore full flow.
Typical projects
The kind of work we take on in Sunset Valley
Water Heater Replacement
An old 40-gallon tank water heater has started leaking from the bottom. We drain the unit, disconnect the gas and water lines, haul the old tank away, and install a new energy-efficient model with a new flex connector.
Gas Line Hookup for a New Stove
A homeowner is switching from electric to gas cooking. We run a new gas line from the meter through the crawlspace, install a shutoff valve behind the stove, and pressure-test the line before the appliance is connected.

Where we work
Across Sunset Valley
The Original Sunset Valley Neighborhood
The homes near the intersection of Brodie Lane and Sunset Valley Drive are mostly 1970s ranches with original plumbing. Common jobs here include replacing galvanized supply lines and repairing sewer lines under the slab.
The Newer Subdivisions
The developments off Highway 290 West, such as the homes near the Sunset Valley Elementary, have modern PVC plumbing but still need drain cleaning and water heater service. The tight lots require careful access.
Outlying Acreage
The larger lots along the eastern edge of Sunset Valley, near the Barton Creek Greenbelt, have long water service lines and septic systems in some cases. Work here involves trenching through rocky soil and coordinating with the city for tap connections.

“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.”
