Water Heater Flush and Replacement
We drain and flush the old tank to remove sediment, then install a new gas or electric water heater. We check the pressure relief valve and connect to existing lines.

Local service
Proudly serving West Lake Hills
West Lake Hills is a tight-knit community built into the rolling hills west of downtown Austin, with homes that range from mid-century ranches to recent custom builds. The terrain is steep in places, and the limestone bedrock can make digging for sewer line repairs a challenge. Many properties sit on large wooded lots, with long driveways and mature trees that drop leaves and roots into drain lines. The area's freeze-thaw weather can crack exposed pipes, and the hard water from the local aquifer fills water heaters with scale.
Our crew shows up knowing the layout of West Lake Hills well — the narrow winding roads, the limited turnarounds, and the need to keep noise down in the quiet neighborhoods. We bring all the tools and materials we expect to need because a trip back to the shop takes time. We protect landscaping and driveways with plywood and tarps, and we work efficiently to keep disruption short. Being based in Austin means we're only a few miles away, so we can respond quickly and keep the job moving.
Brayden's Plumbing works across Austin, TX & the surrounding area, so a crew is never far from West Lake Hills. Call (512) 890-3144 or request a free estimate and we’ll come out and take a look.

What West Lake Hills homeowners call us for
Water Heater Installation
Hard water and tank sediment are common in West Lake Hills. We install gas and electric units, including tankless models, and flush the system to prevent early failure.
Leak Repair
Shifting soil on the hillsides can stress pipes. We find leaks in slabs and walls with electronic detection, then repair with minimal cutting and patching.
Sewer Line Repair
Tree roots from oaks and junipers invade clay sewer lines. We camera-inspect the line, then dig or trenchless-repair the damaged section, restoring flow.
Gas Line Repair
Many homes use natural gas for heating. We locate underground leaks, replace corroded steel lines with polyethylene, and test the system for safety.
Typical projects
The kind of work we take on in West Lake Hills
Underground Gas Line Repair
We locate the leak with a gas detector, excavate the damaged section, replace it with corrosion-resistant pipe, and pressure-test the entire line before backfilling.
Sewer Line Camera Inspection and Root Removal
We run a camera down the cleanout to find the blockage, then use a cutter head or hydro-jet to remove roots and debris. We document the line condition for you.

“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.”

Everything was explained clearly, the work was done efficiently, and the service always felt honest and dependable.”

“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.”
