24/7 Emergency Plumbing

Around-the-clock emergency service for Kyle homeowners facing burst pipes, severe leaks, sewer backups, water heater failures, and slab leaks. We answer the phone day or night.

Water Treatment & Softening
Water softeners, filtration, and treatment for the very hard limestone water that defines Kyle and Central Texas, among the hardest in the country, which scales fixtures and pipes and shortens appliance life. Ask about our current water-treatment options. A water test shows exactly what your home needs.
Slab Leak Detection & Repair
We offer slab leak detection and repair and whole-home leak detection (including smart leak-detection and automatic shut-off devices). Most Kyle homes sit on concrete slabs, and Central Texas's expansive Blackland clay shifts with wet/dry cycles, stressing the pipes beneath the slab. We pinpoint hidden leaks with advanced equipment and repair them before they undermine your foundation.
Water Heaters & Tankless
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems, hard-water scale shortens heater life here, so flushing, replacement, and energy-efficient tankless upgrades are popular. Ask about our free water-heater inspection and current installation offers (including a discount for military and first responders).
Whole-Home Repiping & Pipe Repair
Pipe repair and whole-home repiping, for older Kyle homes with aging or corroded pipe, and for leaking pipe and water line repair and replacement, in durable modern materials like PEX. This also covers burst and frozen-pipe repair after a hard Central Texas freeze.
Sewer Line Repair & Replacement
Sewer line repair and sewer line replacement with camera inspection, diagnosing odors, slow drains, root intrusion, and yard wet-spots and restoring sewer lines, including the cast iron in older homes.
Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting
Drain cleaning and hydro jetting with camera inspection, clearing grease, scale, and the roots that invade lines under Central Texas's mature shade trees.
New-Construction & Remodel Plumbing
We offer plumbing installation and repair. In some of the fastest-growing communities in Texas, we handle fixture upgrades, remodels, and installations, from faucets and sinks to toilets, showers, and garbage disposals.
Outdoor Plumbing
Outdoor plumbing and hose bibs built for the Texas heat, plus yard-line and irrigation-supply repairs for Kyle homes.

Kyle's Blackland clay defines its plumbing. The city sits on some of the deepest, most active Blackland Prairie clay in Central Texas, high-plasticity Houston Black soils (plasticity index often 40 to 60 or more). This soil swell when wet and shrink hard in drought with enough force to crack reinforced slabs and shear the pipes beneath them. That makes slab leaks and foundation movement common, even in brand-new homes. Slab-leak detection and even, consistent foundation watering (a soaker hose about 18 inches from the slab) are essential here. On top of that, Central Texas's very hard limestone water scales fixtures and shortens water heater life. Softening and filtration are in strong demand, often installed in brand-new homes from day one.

Kyle also straddles the Balcones seam. The higher, western side of town sits on thinner, rockier soils over limestone, while the central and eastern side sits on that deep expansive clay. Kyle isn't a single soil story. Nearly every home is on a concrete slab (there are no basements here), and its booming new construction keeps our installation and tankless crews busy. Summers are long and hot. Winters are mild but bring occasional hard freezes (like February 2021) that burst exposed and attic pipes.

Customer Reviews

Linda Burns

I highly recommend this company. They were quick and responsive in scheduling my service, and the plumber they sent out was fantastic. Sometimes it’s hard to find a plumber, but search no more. Use them! I certainly will use them again. Most importantly, their prices are very reasonable and competitive.

W P

Outstanding experience! A polite young man Mr. Amado handled a small repair for us, and everything went seamlessly. Scheduling through the call center was quick, communication was stellar, and the pricing and workmanship were top-notch. As someone who has worked in the service industry for a long time, I truly appreciate the commitment to customer service and communication training shown here. The quality of work still needs to stand the test of time, but the overall experience was 10 out of 10. I won't hesitate to use them again!

Brian Ridenour

Daniel was great!! He was very prompt and explained the workings of the new water heater. The company is awesome. Now you could find a cheaper water heater and cheaper labor but I tried one of those water heaters from the big box store and it failed after only 4 years. The ones that Benjamin Franklin sells are MADE IN THE USA instead of a foreign country. Give them a try, you won’t be sorry!

Dennis Sen

10/10, no doubt about it. Lucas was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. We had an issue with our water heater that left us without hot water or heat this fall. He quickly diagnosed the problems, explained his findings in excellent detail, and got everything fixed. He also went the extra mile in a couple of ways I didn’t expect, which I really appreciated. I’d absolutely recommend Lucas!

Refind Vintage

We had our water heater repaired and had a new water filter system installed after the technician suggested it. He was friendly and factual. After his visit we had to have another repair man to set the water heater temperature. Now it is working fine.

Suzyn Purdy

Christian was a very kind and pleasant young man. He did an exceptional job replacing my kitchen sink faucet and incinerator. He was thorough and helped to get the smell out of our pipes I would recommend him for any job.

Larry Murphy

Our plumber, Jared was efficient and understood our issue quickly! Very respectful of us and property and we highly recommend this company.

Jeremiah Fisher

A full gas water heater installation -- quick install with courteous service. Jon Hare and Luke Stelly gave excellent advice and were finished with the install in less 3 hours (including purchasing the unit itself)! Thanks!

Tammy Spencer

Luke was awesome! I am so happy that I picked your company to do my repair! I will be using your company again. Thank you for your awesome service! I would highly recommend your company to anyone needing service done at their home!

Paula Thompson

The guys were personable, have plumbing experience and seemed knowledgeable of the situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Kyle have so many slab and foundation problems?

Kyle sits on some of the deepest, most active Blackland Prairie clay in Central Texas. The high-plasticity Houston Black soil swells and shrinks dramatically with moisture, cracking slabs and stressing the pipes beneath them. We locate and repair the resulting slab leaks with acoustic and pressure testing.

My Kyle home is brand-new. Can it still get slab leaks?

Yes. This reactive clay moves seasonally regardless of a home's age, and slab movement can stress pipes and cause leaks even in new construction. Even, consistent foundation watering helps. We locate and repair any leaks that develop.

Why is Kyle's water so hard?

Central Texas limestone (and the Edwards Aquifer) loads the water with calcium and magnesium, among the hardest in the country. A softener, often paired with filtration, protects fixtures, appliances, and your water heater. We'll test and size a system.
