Frequently Asked Questions

Is a slow drip worth fixing right away?▾
Yes. Small leaks compound: they drive up the water bill, rot subfloors and cabinets, and feed mildew behind walls. Most fixture leaks are inexpensive to repair if you catch them early, and the longer they run, the more invasive the eventual fix.
Why does my toilet keep running?▾
Usually a worn flapper or a fill valve that no longer seats properly. Both are inexpensive replacements and a common DIY job. If water keeps cycling after replacing both, the supply line, float, or fill tube is likely the issue and worth a plumber visit.
When should I call a plumber instead of doing it myself?▾
Anything behind a wall, anything on the main line, slab leaks, water heater swaps, and gas line work. Most of those require a permit and a licensed plumber in Texas. Visible fixture work like a faucet or angle stop is usually fair game for a confident homeowner.
What does a typical leak repair cost in Central Texas?▾
Visible fixture leaks often run $150 to $400. Slab leaks and main-line repairs run into the low thousands. Water heater replacements typically range $1,500 to $3,500 depending on tank size and gas vs electric. Get a written estimate before approving any repair.
Why does my water taste different in summer?▾
Several Central Texas utilities blend reservoir and groundwater sources, and warm temperatures change how chlorine and minerals come through. If the taste changes suddenly or you see discoloration, ask your utility whether they recently flushed the mains in your area.
