Wells, Well-Water Treatment & Septic-Aware Service

Boilers & Commercial

Spicewood's rural Hill Country setting shapes its plumbing. Many homes here are on private Trinity-aquifer wells drilled hundreds of feet through limestone and on aerobic septic systems required by the area's shallow soil, rock, slopes, and aquifer-recharge terrain, so well and pressure-tank service, well-water treatment (this deep limestone water runs very hard and can carry iron and sediment, calling for softening and multi-stage filtration), and septic-aware drain and sewer service are core, everyday needs. Homes sit on concrete slabs over thin soil and shallow limestone, with hillside slopes and rocky ground, so slab leaks, differential settling, and rocky trenching are common. Lakefront estates along Lake Travis add outdoor, irrigation, and dock-area plumbing, and new luxury construction keeps our installation crews busy.

Spicewood homes are built on concrete slabs over Hill Country limestone as Central Texas makes standard, not basements so slab-leak detection and rocky excavation matter, alongside well and septic service. Rural areas are off the natural-gas grid, so propane-line work is common. Summers are long and hot; winters are mild but bring occasional hard freezes (like February 2021) that burst exposed pipes, well houses, and pump equipment.

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

Is my Spicewood home on a well and septic?

Many rural Hill Country homes here are. We service Trinity-aquifer wells and pressure tanks, treat well water for hardness, iron, and sediment, and provide septic-aware service for the area's aerobic septic systems.

Why does my Spicewood well water taste hard or leave stains?

Deep Hill Country well water is very hard and can carry iron and sediment. After a water test, we install the right softener and multi-stage filtration to protect your home and appliances.

Do slab leaks happen on Spicewood's rocky ground?

Yes. Homes on concrete slabs over thin soil and shallow limestone can see differential settling that stresses the pipes beneath, and hillside lots add drainage considerations. We locate and repair slab leaks with acoustic and pressure testing.

Do you handle propane lines and new construction in Spicewood?

Yes. Rural Spicewood is largely off the natural-gas grid, so we do propane-line work, and we handle new luxury construction, remodels, and tankless installs throughout the area.
