Loomis Plumbing has been serving Cibolo and Guadalupe County since 2002, handling the everyday plumbing repairs and installations that homes and businesses depend on. We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial clients across the area, and we bring the same standard to every job: no pressure and no gimmicks, just sound, lasting plumbing. We built this business here, and we back every job we do. Family-owned. Locally rooted. Ready to plumb.
Our customers call us back because we make plumbing simple, and that starts with having the right team for the full range of work. From drain cleaning and clog removal to leak detection and repair, water heater repair and replacement, toilet and faucet and fixture installation, sewer and main line service, garbage disposals, water pressure and shutoff valve repair, and whole-home repiping, we cover the jobs that come up most. Work is performed by licensed plumbers, and we keep the process straightforward from the first call to the final walkthrough.
Slow drains, recurring backups, and stubborn sink clogs are among the most common calls we get. We clear sink, tub, floor drain, and main line clogs using the right tool for the job, including hydro jetting for heavy grease or mineral buildup that a snake alone will not clear. Getting your plumbing problem handled starts with a quick call. We'll get your water flowing again fast.
Hidden leaks do damage quietly. A supply line seeping behind a wall or a slow leak under a slab can drive up water bills and create mold conditions long before anyone notices. We locate leaks at supply lines, joints, and under slabs, then patch or replace the damaged section cleanly. Slab leak detection and repair is part of our regular work in this area, where pier-and-beam and slab foundations both show up in the same neighborhood.
No hot water is one of those problems that cannot wait. We diagnose both tank and tankless units, repair heating elements, thermostats, and valves when the unit is worth saving, and replace failed equipment when it is not. Whether this is your first plumbing repair or your tenth, you deserve a straight answer on whether repair or replacement makes more sense. We give you that before any work begins.
A running toilet wastes more water than most people expect, and a dripping faucet adds up fast on a water bill. We repair and replace toilets, fix leaky faucets, and install new fixtures for remodels and new construction. Bathroom and kitchen plumbing installation, updated hardware, and code-compliant fixture work are all part of what we do day to day.
When drainage slows down across the whole house, the problem is usually in the main line. We clear main line clogs, run camera inspections to see what is happening inside the pipe, and repair or replace the sewer line from the house out to the city connection. Trenchless options are available where conditions allow. We speak to the line and the line only, handling everything from the house to the handoff point.
Chronic leaks, discolored water, and pressure that has slowly dropped over the years are signs the pipe itself may need to go. We handle whole-house repiping for aging or corroded systems, diagnose low water pressure at the source, and replace main and branch shutoff valves that no longer close fully. A valve that will not shut off in an emergency is a serious problem, and it is a quick fix when caught early.
A jammed or leaking garbage disposal is an easy repair when caught early and a bigger mess when it is not. We install, repair, and replace disposals, and we also handle outdoor faucet and hose bib repair and backflow preventer installation for properties that need to meet code. These smaller jobs matter, and we handle them with the same care as the larger ones.
South-Central Texas brings a specific set of plumbing demands. Clay-heavy soils shift with moisture, seasonal rain events can be intense, and the water coming into Cibolo homes is consistently hard. The following services come up regularly in this area, and we are set up to handle all of them.
Cibolo sits close to Cibolo Creek, and low-lying lots in the area can accumulate groundwater quickly during heavy rain seasons. A properly sized and installed sump pump protects foundations and crawl spaces from flooding before damage sets in. We size the unit to the property, route the discharge line correctly, and test the float switch before we leave. Call and we'll handle the leaks, drains, and fixtures.
Mature oak and pecan trees are a defining feature of Guadalupe County neighborhoods, and their root systems are aggressive. Root intrusion into older clay or cast-iron sewer lines is one of the most frequent causes of recurring main line backups we see in this area. We clear the intrusion, run a camera inspection to assess how much damage has been done, and repair or replace the affected pipe sections. We take pride in the plumbing work we leave behind, and that includes leaving a sewer line that is actually clear and confirmed by camera.
The Texas Hill Country and the broader San Antonio metro supply water that is consistently high in calcium and magnesium. Cibolo homes on municipal supply see scale buildup in water heaters, faucets, and supply lines over time, and the effects are gradual enough that many homeowners do not connect the symptoms to water hardness until equipment starts failing early. We select the right softener unit for the household size, connect it to the supply line, and set the regeneration cycles correctly from the start. We'll take care of the pipes from here.
Over the years, we have seen every kind of pipe and fixture, and we know that some problems cannot be scheduled for next week. Burst pipes, sewer backups, no hot water, and major leaks need attention the same day. We keep availability open for urgent calls and respond with the same professionalism we bring to any planned job. No-pressure estimates, priced up front, even when the call comes in at an inconvenient hour. You schedule it. We fix it. Simple as that.
Choosing the right plumbing fix is easier than it sounds, and for homeowners it usually starts with a single call. We handle everyday repairs, remodels, new fixture installation, water heater replacement, and everything in between. Whether the house is ten years old or fifty, we work with what is there and tell you honestly what needs to change.
For property managers, landlords, and business owners, the stakes are different. A plumbing problem in a rental unit or commercial space affects tenants, customers, and revenue. We work with multi-unit properties, restaurants, offices, and new construction rough-in, and we understand that turnaround time matters. Our team handles remodel plumbing and commercial plumbing contractor work with the same direct approach we bring to residential jobs.
Getting your plumbing problem handled starts with a quick call, and that call ends with a clear number. We give you an upfront estimate before any work begins. No surprises after the fact, and no vague ranges that leave you guessing. When you call for a quote, we ask the right questions, give you a real answer, and let you decide how to move forward. Know the price. Know the arrival window. Know your plumber.
We are based in Cibolo and serve the surrounding communities throughout Guadalupe County and the wider San Antonio metro. Our regular service area includes Schertz, Seguin, New Braunfels, Universal City, Converse, Marion, Selma, and San Marcos. If you are nearby and need a local plumber, there is a good chance we are already working in your neighborhood. We built this business here, and we back every job we do.
Discolored or rust-tinted water, a noticeable drop in pressure at multiple fixtures, recurring leaks at different points in the system, and a water bill that climbs without explanation are all signs that the pipe itself may be failing rather than a single joint or fitting. In older Guadalupe County homes with galvanized steel supply lines, these symptoms tend to get worse over time rather than better. A whole-home repipe is often the more cost-effective fix once the pattern becomes clear.
Tree roots are drawn to the moisture around sewer lines, and they enter through small cracks or loose joints in older clay or cast-iron pipe. Once inside, they grow and expand, eventually causing slow drains, backups, and in serious cases, a collapsed line. We clear the intrusion, run a camera to assess the damage, and then repair or replace the affected sections. In established Cibolo neighborhoods with mature live oaks and pecans, this is one of the more common sewer problems we see.
Parts of Cibolo and the surrounding area sit close to Cibolo Creek, and low-lying lots can collect groundwater quickly during heavy rain events. A properly installed sump pump moves that water away from the foundation before it causes damage. We size the unit to the actual drainage conditions of your property and test the float switch before we leave.
Inconsistent hot water, water that takes much longer than usual to heat, visible rust or sediment in the water, pooling water around the base of the unit, and a unit that is more than ten to fifteen years old are all reasons to have it looked at. We assess the unit, explain whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation, and give you a price before any work begins.
The water supply in Cibolo and across Guadalupe County is consistently high in calcium and magnesium. Over time, that mineral content builds up inside pipes, clogs fixture aerators, and shortens the working life of water heaters and appliances. A properly connected water softener addresses the buildup at the source and protects the whole system from that point forward.
A targeted repair replaces a single damaged section, joint, or fitting and makes sense when the rest of the system is in good condition. A full repipe replaces the entire supply system and is the right call when leaks are recurring at multiple points, water pressure has dropped throughout the house, or the existing pipe material has reached the end of its useful life. We walk you through which option fits your situation before recommending either one.
Low pressure at a single fixture usually points to a clogged aerator or a shutoff valve that is not fully open. Low pressure throughout the house can mean a failing main shutoff valve, a supply line that is partially blocked by mineral buildup, or corroded pipe that has narrowed over time. We diagnose the cause first and give you a clear picture of what the fix involves.
A toilet with a faulty flapper or fill valve can waste hundreds of gallons a day without being audible. Over a month, that adds up to a significant spike on your water bill. The repair is usually straightforward, and catching it early is almost always less expensive than waiting until the internal components wear further.
Clear the area under the sink or around the water heater so the plumber can reach the work area without having to move stored items. If the job involves a crawl space or a utility closet, make sure there is a clear path to get in. Letting us know about any access challenges when you schedule helps us plan the visit more efficiently.
A straightforward repair like a faucet replacement or a drain cleaning usually takes one to two hours. Larger jobs like a water heater replacement, a slab leak repair, or sewer line work can take most of a day depending on conditions. We give you a realistic time estimate when we assess the job, so you can plan accordingly.
Emergency and after-hours calls may carry a different rate than a standard scheduled appointment. We are upfront about that when you call, so you know the price before you decide how to proceed. There are no surprises added after the work is done.

How do I know if my water heater needs repair or full replacement?
Age is one of the clearest signals. A tank water heater that is more than ten to twelve years old and starting to fail is usually more cost-effective to replace than repair. If the unit is younger and the problem is a faulty element, a thermostat, or a bad valve, repair often makes sense. We diagnose the unit when we arrive and give you a straight answer on which direction saves you more money.
What causes drains to keep clogging even after they have been cleared?
A drain that backs up repeatedly usually means the problem is deeper in the line than a standard snake can reach. Grease and soap buildup, mineral deposits from hard water, or root intrusion further down the pipe can all cause recurring clogs. We can run a camera inspection to see exactly what is happening inside the line and determine whether cleaning, repair, or replacement is the right fix.
How do you find a hidden leak inside a wall or under a slab?
We use a combination of pressure testing, acoustic detection, and visual inspection to locate leaks without opening up every wall or breaking up the entire slab. Once we identify the location, we can discuss the least disruptive repair option. In central Texas, slab leaks come up regularly because clay soils shift with the seasons and put ongoing stress on pipes running underneath the foundation.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We give you a clear price before any work starts and stop to talk with you if anything unexpected comes up mid-job. What we quote is what you pay.
What are the signs that I might have a sewer or main line problem?
Slow drains in multiple fixtures at the same time, sewage odors inside or outside the home, gurgling sounds from toilets, or wet patches in the yard near the sewer line are all worth a call. A single slow drain is usually a localized clog. When several fixtures are affected at once, the problem is more likely in the main line, and that calls for a different approach.
How do tree roots get into a sewer line, and what can be done about it?
Roots follow moisture, and a sewer line is a consistent source of it. They work their way into small cracks or loose joints in the pipe and expand over time, causing blockages and eventually structural damage to the line. We remove roots from the line, repair or replace damaged sections, and where conditions allow, offer trenchless options that reduce how much of the yard has to be disturbed.
What is the difference between a tank and a tankless water heater?
A tank water heater stores a set volume of hot water and keeps it heated continuously. A tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through, which can reduce energy use if the household draws hot water in a pattern that suits the technology. Both have trade-offs in upfront cost, installation requirements, and long-term performance. We can walk you through which makes more sense for your household size and usage when you call.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
Burst pipes, water heater failures, and sewer backups do not wait for a convenient time. We offer same-day appointments and emergency response when the situation calls for it.
What causes low water pressure throughout the house?
When pressure is low at every fixture, the cause is usually a pressure-reducing valve that has worn out, a partially closed main shutoff, or a supply line issue. Mineral buildup from hard water, which is common in Guadalupe County, can also restrict flow inside older pipes over time. We diagnose pressure problems at the source rather than guessing, so the fix addresses the actual cause.
Do I need to be home while the plumbing work is being done?
For most jobs, yes. We need access to the work area and to the main shutoff valve, and we will have questions about what you have noticed and what you want done. If you are a property manager scheduling work at a unit you do not occupy, we can coordinate access with a tenant or a key holder as long as the arrangements are clear before we arrive.
Work Performed by Licensed Plumbers
Every job is handled by licensed plumbers who know the homes, soil conditions, and water quality in this area. That local knowledge shapes how we diagnose problems and how we fix them.
How does your pricing and estimate process work?
We give you a price before any work begins, not a rough range that shifts once we are already on site. If something unexpected comes up once we open a wall or look under a slab, we stop and talk to you before moving forward. You approve the updated scope, then we work. There are no add-ons after the fact.
When should I call a plumber instead of trying to fix it myself?
Anything involving the main water line, a gas line, a sewer line, a water heater, or a pipe inside a wall is worth a call. Replacing a faucet washer or a toilet flapper is a reasonable DIY task for someone comfortable with basic repairs. But if the fix requires cutting into a line, working near gas connections, or diagnosing a problem you cannot see, a licensed plumber will get it right the first time and avoid making a manageable problem worse.
What should I do immediately if a pipe bursts?
Shut off the main water supply valve to the house first. It is usually located near the meter or where the main line enters the building. Then call us so we can get a plumber on the way. Do not leave water running while you wait, and move valuables away from the affected area if it is safe to do so. The faster the water is off, the less damage accumulates before we arrive.
Every plumbing situation is a little different, so call us at (210) 293-2828 and we will give you a straight answer about what your job involves and what it will cost.
