Pipes repaired. Pressure restored. Home running right.
Every home's plumbing tells a different story, and we have worked through most of them. Slow drains, leaking supply lines, failing water heaters, backed-up sewer mains, worn-out fixtures, low water pressure: these are the calls that come in regularly, and we handle all of them. We handle drain cleaning and clog removal, leak detection and repair, water heater service, toilet and faucet installation, garbage disposals, sewer and main line work, and whole-home repiping. The list covers the everyday jobs and the ones that catch you off guard.
We treat your home and its pipes the way we would our own. That means we look at the full picture before recommending a fix, and we explain what we found and what it costs before work begins.
Multi-unit properties, tenant calls, and fixture replacements across rental buildings are all work we handle. Call and we'll handle the leaks, drains, and fixtures.
Plumbing problems don't wait, and neither do we, especially when a backed-up drain is making a bathroom or kitchen unusable. We locate the blockage first - whether it is a slow kitchen sink, a stopped tub drain, or a main line clog backing up into multiple fixtures - and then clear it. For stubborn grease buildup or debris that has accumulated over years, hydro jetting is an effective option that clears the line thoroughly rather than just punching a hole through the clog.
Sewer drain cleaning and main line service follow the same process: find where the line is restricted, clear it, and confirm flow is restored before we leave. If there is a recurring problem, we will tell you what is likely causing it and what the repair options look like.
From a single shutoff valve to a whole-home repipe, the water goes off first, then we find the source. Hidden water leaks are often the most damaging because they run undetected inside walls or under slabs while the water bill climbs and the structure takes damage. We use pressure testing and electronic leak detection to trace the source before opening any wall or floor. That matters because opening the wrong section of drywall is an avoidable expense.
Slab leak detection is a common call in this area given the soil conditions and the age of some of the housing stock. We locate the leak, map out the repair options, and give you a clear picture of what each one involves. The repair is pressure-tested before the job is called done. We also handle outdoor water line repair, water main repair, and burst pipe repair when a line gives out suddenly.
Your time matters, so we keep the plumbing job moving, and a water heater call is no exception. When there is no hot water, or the heater is running inconsistently, we diagnose the unit first - checking the heating elements, thermostat settings, sediment buildup, and the condition of the tank - before recommending a repair or replacement. Not every failing water heater needs to be replaced, and not every repair is worth the cost on an aging unit.
Water heaters older than about ten years are worth keeping an eye on. A unit that is approaching the end of its service life may be worth replacing before it fails rather than after, and we can walk you through what that looks like for both tank and tankless models. Tankless water heater installation is a common upgrade for households that want consistent hot water without the standby heat loss of a storage tank. We handle the supply line connections, venting where required, and the full installation.
Here's what most people get wrong about their plumbing: a running toilet or a dripping faucet seems minor until the water bill arrives. A toilet that runs constantly can waste a significant amount of water each day, and a leaking faucet compounds over time. We handle running toilet repair, toilet clog removal, and full toilet replacement when a unit is cracked, outdated, or beyond repair.
For kitchens and bathrooms, we install and replace faucets, under-sink plumbing, hose bibs, and a full range of fixtures. Garbage disposal repair, installation, and replacement round out the kitchen plumbing work. If a disposal has stopped working, we can usually tell on the call whether it is a jam, a reset issue, or a unit that needs replacing.
A sewer line problem tends to announce itself clearly: multiple drains backing up at once, gurgling sounds from fixtures, or sewage odors in the yard. We start with a camera inspection to see what is happening inside the line before recommending a repair path. That might be a targeted clearing, a trenchless sewer repair that avoids full excavation, or a sewer line replacement where the pipe has collapsed or corroded beyond clearing.
Main sewer line service covers the full run from the house to the connection point, whether that line is clay, cast iron, or PVC. Trenchless options are available where the access and pipe condition make them a practical choice. Reach out and we'll start at the source of the leak.
Low water pressure is one of those problems that is easy to live with until it is not. The cause might be a failing pressure regulator, a partially closed shutoff valve, mineral buildup inside older pipes, or a more significant supply line issue. We diagnose the cause before recommending a fix, because the right solution depends on what is actually restricting the flow.
Whole-home repiping comes up when the existing pipe material - galvanized steel in particular - has corroded to the point where repairs no longer make sense. We walk through what the process involves, which areas of the home are affected, and what the timeline looks like. We also handle shutoff valve replacement and backflow preventer installation where the supply line or the city connection requires it.
Guadalupe County's clay-heavy soil, periodic heavy rainfall, and hard water create specific plumbing demands that come up regularly in this area. The following three services reflect what the local conditions actually produce, and each one gets its own explanation below.
Cibolo sits in an area that sees seasonal downpours, and lower-lying properties can take on water when the ground is already saturated. A sump pump installed in a basement or a below-grade mechanical space moves water out before it can cause damage to flooring, framing, or stored belongings. We assess the drainage situation, select the right pump capacity for the space, and handle the discharge line routing so water exits well away from the foundation.
Mature trees are common throughout Guadalupe County neighborhoods, and their root systems follow moisture directly into sewer line joints and small cracks. Clay and cast-iron lines that were installed decades ago are especially vulnerable. We use camera inspection to confirm root intrusion, clear the line with mechanical cutting or hydro jetting, and then assess whether the pipe needs a spot repair or a trenchless liner to prevent the roots from returning. Catching this early keeps a manageable clearing from becoming a full replacement.
Hard water is a consistent issue throughout the San Antonio metro and into Guadalupe County, and Cibolo is no exception. High mineral content shortens the life of water heaters, leaves scale buildup on fixtures, and affects everything from laundry to the feel of the water at the faucet. We handle the full installation: supply line connections, bypass valve, brine tank positioning, and the drain line for the regeneration cycle. If you are not sure whether softening makes sense for your water, the call is a good place to start.
Your time matters, so we keep the plumbing job moving whether the call comes from a single-family homeowner or a property manager overseeing a multi-unit building. Commercial buildings and rental properties have different demands: higher fixture turnover, water heater sizing for multiple units, and drain systems that take heavier daily use. We handle all of it, including plumbing rough-in for renovation work and fixture replacement at scale.
No pressure and no gimmicks, just sound, lasting plumbing - that applies whether we are fixing one toilet in a rental unit or scoping a full repiping job for a commercial property. Businesses in Cibolo and the surrounding area can call for a quote on any scope of work.
A burst pipe, a major leak, a toilet overflowing, or a sudden loss of hot water all need attention before the damage spreads. When something goes wrong fast, the first step is to locate the main water shutoff and turn it off. That stops the water while you call for help. We take emergency plumbing calls every day from 6 AM to 11 PM, and we scope the situation on the call so you know what to expect before anyone arrives.
Arrives fast. Fixes it right. Prices settled on the call.
Call (210) 293-2828 and we will get the water back where it belongs.
When you call about a drain cleaning, a water heater replacement, a sewer line repair, or a faucet installation, we ask the right questions to scope the job on the phone. You get the rate before anything is scheduled, and you know what the work covers before we start. Common questions - how much does it cost to repipe a house, what does sewer line repair run, what is the cost to replace a water heater - all get a straight answer based on what the job actually involves.
Pricing is explained clearly before work begins. If the scope changes once we are on-site and can see the full situation, we tell you before we proceed.
We handle plumbing calls across Cibolo and the surrounding communities throughout Guadalupe County and the wider San Antonio metro. That includes Schertz, Seguin, New Braunfels, Universal City, Converse, Marion, Selma, and Garden Ridge. If you are nearby and need a plumber, the call is the right place to start.
Local work. Sound pipes. Costs set out on the call.
A water heater that runs out of hot water faster than it used to, produces water that smells off or comes out rusty, makes popping or rumbling sounds during heating, or leaks at the base or connections is showing signs of a problem. These symptoms can point to sediment buildup, a failing heating element, or a corroded tank. A call to describe what you are seeing is the right starting point, and we can help you determine whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
Galvanized steel pipe corrodes from the inside out over time, which reduces water flow, produces rust-colored water, and eventually leads to leaks at joints and fittings. Homes in Guadalupe County built several decades ago often still have galvanized supply lines throughout. When the corrosion is widespread, a whole-home repipe in copper or PEX is typically more practical than continuing to patch individual sections.
A clog in a single fixture, like one sink or one tub, usually points to a blockage in the trap or the branch drain serving that fixture. When multiple drains are slow or backing up at the same time, or when flushing a toilet causes water to gurgle in a nearby tub, the problem is more likely in the main sewer line. We diagnose the location before choosing a clearing method so the fix addresses the actual problem.
Most plumbing repairs require shutting off the water supply to the affected fixture or to the whole house, depending on where the work is being done. We identify the right shutoff point before starting and restore water as soon as the repair is complete and tested. If you are not sure where your main shutoff is located, that is something we can walk through on the call.
Clearing the area under the sink, around the water heater, and along the path to the main shutoff valve gives the plumber direct access and keeps the job moving. For slab leak work or repiping, we will tell you on the call if any furniture or stored items need to be moved in specific areas. The more accessible the work area, the faster the job goes.
A patch is a reasonable short-term fix when the pipe is otherwise in good condition and the failure is isolated. When the same section has been patched before, when the pipe material is corroded throughout, or when the failure is part of a pattern of leaks across the house, the patch is not the lasting answer. We explain the tradeoffs clearly so you can decide based on what the pipe actually needs rather than what is fastest.
Low water pressure across multiple fixtures at once usually points to a supply-side issue: a failing pressure regulator, a partially closed main shutoff, mineral buildup inside older pipes, or a supply line that is undersized or corroded. Pressure that drops only at one fixture is more likely a local issue with that fixture's valve or aerator. We diagnose the cause before recommending a fix, because the right solution depends on where the restriction actually is.
Expansive clay soil shifts with rainfall and drought cycles, which puts stress on slab foundations and the water lines running beneath them. That movement is one of the reasons slab leak detection comes up as often as it does in this area. When a slab leak is suspected, we use pressure testing and electronic detection to locate it before any concrete is disturbed.
Shutoff valves that are stiff, corroded, or that will not fully close are a problem waiting to happen, particularly in an emergency when you need to stop water flow quickly. Braided supply lines under sinks and behind toilets also have a service life, and failures there can cause significant water damage before they are noticed. We check valve and supply line condition during fixture visits and let you know if anything looks like it is due for replacement.
Locate the main water shutoff and turn it off to stop the flow while you call for help. In most homes, the main shutoff is near the water meter or where the supply line enters the house.
Call (210) 293-2828 and we will walk through what to do next and scope the repair on the call before anyone is dispatched.
Slow drains throughout the home, gurgling sounds when water drains, and sewer odors in the yard are common signs of root intrusion. Mature trees in established Cibolo and Guadalupe County neighborhoods send roots toward sewer lines, particularly older clay or cast-iron pipe with joints that are no longer fully sealed. We use camera inspection to confirm root intrusion before recommending a clearing method or repair.

What is the difference between a tank and a tankless water heater, and how do I choose?
A storage tank water heater keeps a set volume of water hot around the clock, which means it is always ready but uses energy to maintain that temperature even when no one is drawing hot water. A tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through the unit, which eliminates standby heat loss and can supply consistent hot water without running out. The right choice depends on how much hot water your household uses, the space available for installation, and whether your gas line or electrical service can support a tankless unit. We go through those details on the call so you can make a decision based on your actual situation.
What does hydro jetting clear that a standard drain snake cannot?
A drain snake punches through a clog and restores flow, but it leaves residue on the pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of the pipe, clearing grease buildup, mineral scale, and debris that has accumulated over years rather than just opening a channel through the blockage. For kitchen lines with heavy grease accumulation or main sewer lines with years of buildup, hydro jetting is a more thorough option. We assess the line condition first, because jetting is not the right tool for every situation.
How is a slab or under-slab leak located without tearing up the floor?
We use pressure testing to confirm that a leak exists within the slab, then electronic detection to pinpoint the location before any concrete is disturbed. The process narrows the area to a specific point rather than opening a broad section of flooring. Once the location is confirmed, we map out the repair options, which may include a direct access repair, a reroute around the damaged section, or a full repipe depending on the pipe material and the extent of the damage. We explain what each option involves and what it costs before any work begins.
Cause Found Before Anything Is Replaced
We diagnose the problem before recommending a repair or replacement. That means you get a fix based on what is actually wrong, not the most expensive option on the list.
Do I need to be home while the plumbing work is being done?
For most jobs, yes. Access to the work area, the main shutoff, and any fixtures involved is needed, and having someone present means questions about a changed scope can be addressed directly if the pipe reveals something unexpected. For exterior work like sewer line service or outdoor water line repair, the access requirements are different and we can discuss what makes sense for your situation on the call.
How does a sump pump fail, and what are the signs I need a new one?
A sump pump can fail because the float switch stops working, the motor burns out, the discharge line clogs or freezes, or the unit simply reaches the end of its service life. Signs of a failing pump include the motor running continuously without moving water, the pump not activating during heavy rain, unusual noise during operation, or water in the pit that is not being moved out. If you are seeing any of those signs before a rainy stretch, it is worth a call to assess the unit before a storm puts it to the test.
How long does a whole-home repipe typically take?
The timeline depends on the size of the home, the number of fixtures, the pipe material being replaced, and how accessible the walls and crawl spaces are. A straightforward repipe on a single-story home can often be completed in a day or two. A larger home or one with limited access may take longer. We walk through the scope before work begins so you have a realistic picture of the timeline and which areas of the home will be affected during the job.
Scope Agreed Before Any Pipe Is Cut
We walk through what the job involves and what it costs before work begins. If the scope changes once we are on-site, we tell you before we proceed.
Why does my faucet drip or leak even after I turn it off?
A faucet that drips after shutoff is almost always a worn internal component. In a compression faucet, that is usually a rubber washer or seat. In a cartridge or ceramic disc faucet, the cartridge or disc assembly is typically the cause. The fix is usually a repair to the internal mechanism or a full faucet replacement if the valve body is corroded or the parts are no longer available. We identify the cause before recommending a path, because the right repair depends on the faucet type and its condition.
When does it make more sense to call a plumber than to attempt a fix myself?
A simple reset on a garbage disposal or clearing a surface-level drain clog with a plunger are reasonable starting points. Once the problem involves shutting off the water supply, opening walls, working on gas lines, or diagnosing something you cannot see, a call makes more sense than a guess. Incorrect repairs on supply lines, shutoff valves, or drain connections can cause water damage that costs significantly more to address than the original fix. If you are not sure whether it is a DIY situation, describing what you are seeing on the call usually clarifies it quickly.
Older and Newer Plumbing Both Handled
From galvanized supply lines in a decades-old Cibolo home to a tankless water heater installation in a newer build, we work across the full range of residential and commercial plumbing.
What causes a sewer line to back up repeatedly, even after it has been cleared?
A sewer line that backs up again shortly after clearing usually has an underlying structural problem. Root intrusion from nearby trees is a common cause in established Guadalupe County neighborhoods, especially in older clay or cast-iron pipe where joints are no longer fully sealed. A collapsed or bellied section of pipe, heavy grease accumulation, or a line that is undersized for the load can also cause recurring backups. Camera inspection after clearing shows what is actually happening inside the pipe and whether a repair is needed to prevent the problem from returning.
How do I know if my water pressure issue is a regulator problem or something else?
A pressure regulator failure typically shows up as low pressure throughout the whole house rather than at a single fixture. If pressure is low only at one faucet or showerhead, the issue is more likely a clogged aerator or a partially closed fixture valve. Pressure that has dropped gradually over time in a home with older galvanized pipes may reflect mineral buildup narrowing the interior of the supply lines. We diagnose the cause before recommending a fix, because replacing a regulator on a pipe that is corroded throughout does not solve the underlying problem.
What happens during a water heater replacement, and how long does it take?
We shut off the water and gas or electrical supply to the existing unit, drain the tank, disconnect the supply and discharge connections, and remove the old unit. The new unit is positioned, connected to the supply lines and the gas line or electrical circuit, and the venting is confirmed before the water is turned back on. We check for leaks at every connection and verify the unit is heating before the job is called done. A straightforward tank replacement on an accessible unit typically takes a few hours. A tankless installation or a job with limited access may take longer.
