Water Heater Repair and Replacement

Hot water problems can be disruptive, but most issues can be solved with accurate diagnostics and a careful repair. We service tank and tankless models, correct temperature swings, replace failed components, and eliminate leaks around fittings or the tank. When a unit is at the end of its service life, we help you choose an energy-efficient replacement that is properly sized for your household. Installation includes safe gas or electrical connections, new valves where needed, and settings that balance comfort with efficiency. Before we finish, we test for proper temperature recovery and confirm code compliance.

Water Softener Installation

Hard water is common across the San Antonio area and it leaves mineral buildup on fixtures, glass, and inside pipes. A properly sized softener helps protect your plumbing, improves the feel of showers, and can extend the life of water-using appliances. We test hardness, recommend the right capacity, and install the system with a clean bypass and drain connection. Our team explains salt type, regeneration settings, and simple upkeep so performance stays consistent. If you have an existing softener that is not working as it should, we can evaluate the unit and advise whether a repair or replacement makes more sense.

Drain Cleaning

Slow drains and recurring clogs point to buildup that simple store-bought cleaners cannot remove. Professional drain cleaning clears grease, hair, food debris, and scale so sinks, tubs, showers, and floor drains run freely again. We begin with basic clearing methods that protect your pipes, then escalate only as needed. If we see signs of a deeper issue, we explain what is happening and outline practical next steps. After the line is flowing, we share easy habits that help prevent future blockages, such as strainers in kitchen and bath drains and mindful disposal of oils, coffee grounds, and wipes.

Pipe Leak Repair

Water leaks waste energy and can damage cabinets, floors, and drywall. Our plumbers use targeted methods to locate the source, including visual checks, moisture readings, and isolated pressure testing. Once we find the problem, we repair or replace the affected section of copper, PEX, or PVC with durable fittings and proper support. We also check for related issues like failing shutoff valves or worn supply lines. After the fix, we pressurize the system and verify that the meter holds steady. You get a neat repair, clear documentation of the work, and guidance to reduce the chances of repeat leaks.

Gas Line Repair

Gas line issues require prompt attention from trained professionals. If you notice a sulfur smell, hissing at a connection, or dying pilot flames, our team can investigate safely and methodically. We isolate the line, perform leak checks, and complete code-compliant repairs or replacements using approved materials. Appliance relights and safe reconnections are handled after testing. Where pipes are corroded or undersized, we explain the options and the reasons behind each recommendation. The goal is a safe system with proper pressure and reliable service to your water heater, range, furnace, or fireplace.

Toilet Repair and Replacement

A running or leaking toilet can waste a surprising amount of water and cause damage around the base. We replace worn flappers and fill valves, correct loose bolts and wax rings, and clear clogs that resist basic plunging. If the bowl or tank is cracked, or if performance has declined over time, we can install a new, efficient model that matches your bathroom. Every installation includes careful sealing, stable mounting, and adjustment of the fill level for a clean, consistent flush. Before we leave, we check for leaks and verify that the toilet operates quietly.

Faucet Repair and Replacement

Dripping faucets and stiff handles are common signs of worn cartridges, stems, or seals. Our plumbers restore smooth operation by replacing the right parts and reseating connections so you get a steady stream without drips. If you want an update, we install customer-selected fixtures for kitchens, baths, and showers with neat supply and drain hookups. We can also add shutoff valves where they are missing to make future maintenance easier. After the work is complete, we check aerators and flow to ensure proper performance and leave the area clean and dry.

Garbage Disposal Installation

A quiet, reliable disposal makes kitchen cleanup faster. We replace worn units that jam or trip breakers and handle first-time installations with the correct flange, wiring, and trap configuration. The mounting ring is set tight, electrical connections are secured, and we confirm that the drain seals properly to prevent leaks. If you are unsure which size or horsepower to choose, we provide a simple recommendation based on your cooking habits. We also share straightforward tips to reduce jams, including running cold water during use and avoiding fibrous peels and excessive coffee grounds.

Sewer Line Repair and Replacement

Main line problems show up as repeated clogs, gurgling fixtures, or sewer odors. We assess the situation, explain likely causes such as root intrusion or a broken pipe, and outline the most practical fix. When a focused repair will solve the problem, we keep the work targeted. If the line is failing in multiple areas, we discuss full replacement and restoration details so there are no surprises. Throughout the process, we follow local code, protect your property as we work, and confirm proper flow before the job is complete.
