A properly plumbed home is a worry-free home, and the same holds for any commercial property that depends on reliable water supply and drainage. We handle the full range of plumbing repair and installation work, from everyday maintenance calls to larger renovation projects.
On the residential side, that means kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and the supply and drain lines that connect them. Older homes in New Braunfels often carry galvanized pipe that has narrowed with mineral buildup over time, and we see that regularly when diagnosing low pressure or recurring leaks. Whether the job is a faucet swap before a remodel or a full repipe, the scope and price are confirmed before we schedule.
For commercial customers, the work includes restaurants, multi-unit residential buildings, retail strip centers, and managed properties. Property managers and landlords get the same straightforward process: we describe what the job involves, give a price on the call, and show up to do the work.
The hardest part of a plumbing problem is knowing when to call, and a slow drain is usually the first sign something is building up in the line. A single slow drain often points to a localized blockage. When multiple fixtures back up at the same time, the problem is usually deeper in the main sewer line.
A drain cleaning visit covers the full length of the blocked line, using the right method for the situation. Hydro jetting is one option for stubborn or recurring blockages, pushing debris out of the pipe entirely rather than just breaking it up. Sewer backups and main-line clogs get the same thorough approach. We'll take care of the pipes from here.
What sets this plumbing service apart is straightforward: we find the cause before anything gets replaced. Leak detection starts with pressure testing and tracing the supply line to isolate where the loss is happening. In New Braunfels, slab construction is common, and slab leak detection is a regular part of what we do. We locate the leak in the slab before opening anything up, which keeps the repair focused and the disruption minimal.
A burst or broken pipe needs fast attention. Water moving through a wall, ceiling, or floor damages structure quickly, and the longer it runs, the more the repair scope grows. We handle water line leaks, outdoor supply line breaks, and underground pipe repair. Prompt response, even for last-minute plumbing calls, is part of how we work.
No hot water is one of those problems that stops a household or a business in its tracks. We work on both tank and tankless water heaters, and the visit starts with diagnosing what is actually wrong before recommending a repair or a replacement. A failed heating element, a faulty thermostat, or sediment buildup can often be corrected without replacing the unit. When the tank has failed or the unit is beyond repair, we handle the full replacement and get the new heater running the same visit.
Tankless water heater installation is also something we schedule for homeowners looking to move away from a storage tank. Commercial water heater replacement follows the same process: scope the job, confirm the price, do the work. We find the leak. We fix the line. We test the pressure.
Call (830) 549-8959 and ask what the repair or replacement will run before we schedule anything.
We know schedules shift, so we keep booking flexible, and fixture work is often easier to schedule than people expect. A running toilet, a dripping kitchen faucet, or a bathroom faucet that has corroded past the point of repair are all straightforward jobs. We also handle full fixture installations for bathroom and kitchen remodels, including supply and drain connections for new sinks, tubs, and showers.
Garbage disposal installation and replacement falls under the same category. A disposal that hums but does not spin, trips the reset repeatedly, or leaks from the bottom usually needs to be replaced rather than repaired. We pull the old unit, install the new one, and confirm the drain connection is solid before we leave. We'll sort the plumbing and clean up after.
Galvanized steel pipe has a lifespan, and in older New Braunfels homes it often shows up as rust-colored water, persistent low pressure, or pinhole leaks that keep coming back. When the pipe itself is the problem, repiping is the right answer. Whole-home repiping replaces the supply lines throughout the house with copper or PEX, and the result is consistent pressure and water that does not carry rust.
Water pressure diagnostics start at the meter and work inward. A pressure regulator that has failed, a partially closed shutoff valve, or a corroded section of pipe can all reduce flow to specific fixtures or the whole house. Shutoff valve replacement is part of this work too. A local plumber for homeowners is what this service is built to be, and water pressure problems are one of the most common reasons people call. Call us and we'll walk you through the repair.
Central Texas has its own set of plumbing demands, shaped by the Hill Country terrain, the limestone geology under Comal County, and the mature trees that line older neighborhoods throughout the area. These three services come up regularly here for specific reasons.
New Braunfels sits in flash-flood country. The Hill Country terrain channels water fast, and low-lying areas near the Guadalupe and Comal rivers can take on water quickly during heavy rain events. Properties with basements or below-grade crawl spaces need a sump pump that works when the water arrives. An installation visit covers the pump, the sump pit, and the discharge line, and we confirm the system is moving water correctly before the job is done.
Live oak and cedar are everywhere in Comal County, and their root systems follow moisture straight to sewer lines. Root intrusion shows up as slow drains across the house, gurgling at fixtures, or a full sewer backup. A sewer line service visit starts with inspecting the line to understand where the roots have entered and how much of the pipe is affected. We clear the line and assess the condition of the pipe. Where the pipe wall has been compromised, we discuss repair or replacement options based on what the inspection shows.
New Braunfels draws water from limestone aquifers, and that water carries a high mineral load. Hard water leaves scale inside pipes, on fixture valves, and inside water heater tanks, shortening the life of all three. A water softener installation addresses the source of the problem rather than treating the symptoms fixture by fixture. We handle the plumbing side of the installation: the supply connections, the drain line for the brine tank, and confirming the system is set up correctly for the water coming into the house.
With a local shop, your questions go straight to the people doing the work. That matters when the conversation is about a sewer line, because the options range from a simple cleaning to a full line replacement, and understanding which one applies requires knowing what is actually in the pipe.
We handle sewer line cleaning, repair, and replacement for residential and commercial properties. When a line needs replacement, trenchless methods are available depending on the condition and layout of the existing pipe. Main line backups for multi-unit buildings and commercial properties are handled the same way: scope the line, identify the cause, and give a clear picture of what the repair involves before anything is scheduled. We'll take care of the pipes from here.
A burst pipe, a major leak, or a complete loss of hot water does not wait for a convenient time. We are available every day from 8 AM to 11 PM for urgent plumbing calls, including evenings and weekends. When you call, describe what is happening and we will walk you through what to do while we get the visit scheduled.
For a burst pipe, shut off the main water supply at the shutoff valve near the meter. For a water heater failure, turn off the cold supply to the tank. Knowing those steps limits the damage before we arrive. A prompt response, even for last-minute plumbing calls, is part of how this service runs.
Call (830) 549-8959 and tell us what you are dealing with.
The price for any plumbing job is discussed on the call, before we schedule the visit. We describe what the job typically involves, what the rate covers, and what the visit will include. You get the information you need to make a decision before anyone shows up at the door.
For larger jobs like a water heater replacement, a whole-home repipe, or a sewer line repair, the quote reflects what the scope of work looks like based on what you describe. If the job turns out to be more involved once we are on site, we talk through the options before proceeding. Pricing agreed up front. Code-compliant work. Reliable water.
Call (830) 549-8959 to get a quote on any plumbing repair or installation.
We take plumbing calls across New Braunfels and the communities nearby. If you are outside the city limits or in a neighboring town, call and we will confirm whether we cover your address.
Communities we serve include:
Tree-root intrusion is one of the most common causes in established neighborhoods here, because live oak and cedar root systems follow moisture directly to sewer lines. Grease buildup and debris accumulation are common in kitchen drain lines, particularly in commercial properties. A sewer line inspection with a camera tells us what is actually causing the backup before we recommend a repair.
Slab-on-grade construction is the norm across much of Comal County, which means supply lines run beneath or within the concrete foundation. When a line develops a leak in that location, the water can move under the slab for weeks before it shows up as a wet floor, a stain, or a spike in the water bill. We use pressure testing and electronic leak detection to locate the fault before any concrete is opened, keeping the repair focused and the disruption minimal.
Water stains on ceilings or walls, a mildew smell in a room without visible moisture, soft spots in flooring, and a water bill that has increased without a change in usage are all indicators of a hidden leak. A leak that has been running for weeks does more damage to the structure than one caught early. Call and describe what you are noticing and we will walk you through what the detection visit involves.
New Braunfels draws from limestone aquifers, and that water carries a high mineral load. Hard water leaves scale inside pipes, on water heater elements, and at fixture connections, shortening the life of all three over time. A water softener installation addresses the problem at the point where water enters the house, protecting the supply lines and appliances downstream from continued mineral buildup.
A drain snake breaks up a blockage and clears the immediate obstruction, but it does not remove buildup from the pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses pressurized water to flush the interior of the pipe and is the better option for recurring clogs, grease buildup in commercial kitchen lines, or main line cleaning where scale has accumulated over time. We discuss which method fits the situation when you call and describe what the drain is doing.
Central Texas storms can deliver significant rainfall quickly, and low-lying properties near the Guadalupe and Comal rivers can take on water during heavy rain events. A sump pump installation covers the pump, the pit, and the discharge line, and we confirm the system is moving water correctly before the job is done. If your property has a below-grade utility space or has taken on water during past storms, a sump pump is worth discussing on the call.
We clear the line using mechanical cutting and hydro jetting, then run a camera inspection to assess the condition of the pipe after the roots are removed. If the pipe wall has been compromised by root growth, we discuss repair or relining options based on what the inspection shows. Clearing the line without checking the pipe condition leaves the root entry point open for regrowth, so the inspection is a standard part of the service.
A patch or a section repair addresses a specific failure point and is the right call when the rest of the pipe is in sound condition. A full repipe replaces the supply lines throughout the house and is the right call when the pipe material itself has degraded, whether from corrosion in galvanized steel, pinholes in copper, or age-related failure in older plastic lines. We assess what is in the system and explain which approach fits before any work begins.
We are available every day from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM for urgent calls, including evenings and weekends.
Call (830) 549-8959 and describe what is happening and we will confirm what the schedule allows for short-notice work.
For a burst pipe, shut off the main water supply at the meter shutoff while we get the visit arranged.
For a burst pipe or a major leak, shut off the main water supply at the shutoff valve near the meter. For a water heater failure, turn off the cold supply line to the tank. Limiting the water running through the system reduces the damage while we get the visit scheduled.
Call (830) 549-8959 and we will walk you through the steps specific to what you are dealing with.
A toilet that runs continuously can waste a significant volume of water before the problem is noticed, and that shows up on the water bill. The flapper, the fill valve, or the flush valve are the most common causes, and most running toilet repairs are straightforward once the cause is identified. Call and describe what the toilet is doing and we will give you a rate before we schedule the visit.
A pressure regulator that has failed, a partially closed shutoff valve, or a corroded section of pipe can all reduce flow to specific fixtures or to the whole house. In older New Braunfels homes with galvanized pipe, mineral buildup inside the line is a common cause of pressure that has declined gradually over time. A water pressure diagnostic visit starts at the meter and works inward to isolate where the restriction is occurring.
A disposal installation covers removing the old unit if one is in place, mounting the new unit to the sink flange, and connecting the drain line and the electrical supply. We confirm the drain connection is solid and the unit is running correctly before the job is done. If the drain line under the sink has buildup or a partial blockage, we address that as part of the installation so the new disposal does not inherit the old problem.
New Braunfels Plumbing Company is available every day from 8 AM to 11 PM for plumbing repair, installation, and emergency calls across New Braunfels and Comal County. Whether the job is a clogged drain or a full sewer line replacement, the process starts the same way: a phone call, a description of the problem, and a price before anything is scheduled.

How do I know whether my water heater needs a repair or a full replacement?
The visit starts with diagnosing what is actually wrong before we recommend either option. A failed heating element, a faulty thermostat, or sediment buildup can often be corrected without replacing the unit. When the tank itself has failed, corroded through, or the unit is beyond repair, we handle the full replacement. We explain what we find and what each path involves before any work begins.
What is the difference between a tank and a tankless water heater?
A tank water heater stores a set volume of hot water and reheats it as it is used. A tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through the system, which eliminates standby heat loss from a storage tank. Tankless units require adequate gas supply or electrical capacity and are sized to the demand of the household. We discuss which type fits the situation when you call and describe the property.
How do I know if a clog is in one fixture or in the main sewer line?
A single slow or backed-up drain usually points to a localized blockage in that fixture's line. When multiple drains back up at the same time, or when flushing a toilet causes a tub to gurgle, the problem is typically deeper in the main sewer line. Describing what you are seeing when you call helps us determine which visit type fits the situation.
Cause Found Before Anything Is Replaced
We diagnose what is actually wrong before recommending a repair or a replacement. That applies to water heaters, leaks, and drain problems alike.
What can hydro jetting clear that a drain snake cannot?
A snake breaks up a blockage and clears the immediate obstruction, but it does not remove buildup from the interior pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses pressurized water to flush the pipe from the inside out, which is the better option for recurring clogs, grease accumulation in commercial kitchen lines, or main line cleaning where scale has built up over time. We discuss which method fits based on what the drain is doing when you call.
How are hidden leaks found without tearing into walls?
Leak detection starts with pressure testing the supply line to confirm water is being lost and to narrow down where. Electronic detection equipment then traces the line to isolate the fault. In slab construction, this process locates the leak beneath or within the foundation before any concrete is opened. Identifying the location first keeps the repair focused and limits what needs to be disturbed.
Do I need to be home for the plumbing visit?
Someone needs to be present to provide access to the property and to discuss the scope and price before work begins. We confirm what is available when you book and walk through what the visit covers so there are no open questions when we arrive.
Scope Agreed Before Any Pipe Is Cut
The price and the scope of work are discussed on the call and confirmed before we schedule. You know what the visit covers before anyone arrives at the door.
How does a repipe actually work, and how long does it take?
A whole-home repipe replaces the supply lines throughout the house with copper or PEX pipe. The timeline depends on the size of the home, how the existing pipe is routed, and how many fixtures are being served. We assess what is in the system on the call and give a realistic picture of the scope before anything is scheduled. Most whole-home repipes are completed in one to two days, though larger or more complex layouts can take longer.
What should I do if I suspect a slab leak?
Signs include a wet or warm spot on the floor, a mildew smell in a room without visible moisture, or a water bill that has increased without a change in usage. If you notice any of those, call and describe what you are seeing. We use pressure testing and electronic detection to locate the fault before any concrete is opened, which keeps the repair focused and the disruption minimal.
Older and Newer Plumbing Both Handled
Galvanized, copper and PEX pipes each fail in their own way. We work on the full range of pipe materials found in New Braunfels homes, from older galvanized supply lines to modern PEX installations.
How are tree roots cleared from a sewer line, and will they come back?
We clear the line using mechanical cutting and hydro jetting, then run a camera inspection to assess the pipe condition after the roots are removed. If the pipe wall has been compromised, we discuss repair or relining options based on what the inspection shows. Clearing the line without checking the pipe condition leaves the root entry point open, which is why the inspection is a standard part of the service rather than an add-on.
What causes a faucet or fixture to drip after it is turned off?
A worn washer, a failing cartridge, or a corroded valve seat are the most common causes of a dripping faucet. Some repairs are straightforward once the cause is identified. Others, particularly in older fixtures with corroded internals, are better addressed by replacing the fixture entirely. We describe what the repair involves and give a price before we schedule.
How do I know if my sump pump has failed before a storm arrives?
A sump pump that runs but does not move water, one that does not activate when the pit fills, or one that runs continuously without cycling off are all signs of a problem. Testing the pump before storm season is the right approach for any property that depends on it. Call and describe what the pump is doing and we will walk you through what the service visit covers.
