Plumbing emergency?
Do these 5 things before we arrive
A burst pipe or sewer backup can flood a Hill Country home fast. If it’s safe, take these steps — then call and we’ll walk you through the rest on the phone.
- 1Move people, pets and valuables away from the water.
- 2Shut off the nearest fixture valve — or the home’s main water shutoff if the leak keeps running.
- 3For a leaking water heater, shut off its water supply. Never reach through standing water to touch electrical equipment.
- 4Photograph the source, water meter, serial plates and damage before any cleanup — you’ll want it for insurance.
- 5Call us and describe the water source, whether you’re on a well or grinder pump, and any gate or access notes.
On a well or grinder pump? If your water comes from a private well, the pump or pressure tank may also need to be isolated. If a grinder pump is alarming, stop adding wastewater — it moves sewage to the line when gravity isn’t enough, and more water makes a backup worse. See our 24/7 emergency plumbing and sewer backup cleanup services.

Call & safe shutoff

Repair, test & document
We complete the approved work, test flow and drainage, and hand you photos, warranty terms and any permit records.

What customers say
Rated 4.9★ by Hill Country homeowners
Real results from 168+ neighbors across Wimberley, Woodcreek, San Marcos and beyond.
“Our well pump quit on a Sunday and we had no water. They answered the phone, walked me through shutting the system down, and had it running again the same afternoon. Fair, honest and clearly knew rural well systems.”
“A pipe burst in our rental during the freeze. They came out at night, stopped the water, and gave us photos and a written estimate we could send to insurance. Professional the whole way through.”
“Replaced our tank water heater with a tankless unit and added a softener for the hard well water. No upsell, just a clear explanation of options and honest pricing. Highly recommend.”
“We manage two short-term rentals and needed a plumber who could handle turnover emergencies fast. They fixed a running toilet and a slow drain the same day before our guests arrived.”
“They camera-inspected our sewer line, found the root intrusion, and repaired it without tearing up the whole yard. Explained everything and cleaned up after. Trustworthy local crew.”
“Slab leak under our slab foundation. They located it without demolishing half the house and repaired it right. Showed up when they said they would and stuck to the quote.”

Wimberley plumbing FAQs
Yes. We run 24/7 emergency dispatch across Hays County for burst pipes, well failures, sewer backups, gas odors and flood damage. Call (831) 290-4327 any time — nights, weekends and holidays included. For active leaks, shut off the nearest valve or your main supply first, then call so we can guide you while a technician is on the way.
We are based at 180 Joe Wimberley Blvd and serve Wimberley, Woodcreek, San Marcos, Kyle, Buda, Dripping Springs, Driftwood and the rest of Hays County, plus the wider Hill Country and the Austin–San Antonio corridor. Same-day service is standard close to Wimberley; we schedule planned projects for farther Hill Country towns.
Yes. We are insured and locally owned here in Wimberley, with 15+ years of Hill Country plumbing experience. For work that touches gas lines, water heaters, or sewer taps we pull the proper county or city permits so the paperwork holds up at resale. You always get an upfront, written line-item estimate before we start any work.
Most Wimberley-area properties run on private Trinity Aquifer wells and on-site septic or grinder-pump systems. We service well pumps, pressure tanks, water treatment, and the plumbing tied to aerobic septic and grinder pumps — and we diagnose whether a pressure or no-water problem is coming from the well system, a leak, or the house plumbing before recommending a repair.
We provide a written, line-item estimate before work begins — no surprise charges. Because Hill Country properties vary (long rural runs, steep lots, limestone, slab vs. crawlspace, well vs. city water), we diagnose on site first, then quote. You approve the price before we turn a wrench.
Every job is quoted in writing after we see it, but for planning: published Texas benchmarks run about $70–$220 for a service call, $125–$325 for drain cleaning, $125–$500 for leak detection or repair, $1,100–$2,350 for an installed water heater, and $3,500 or more for whole-house repiping. Emergency and after-hours work can run higher. These are planning ranges, not a confirmed Wimberley quote — your price depends on access, materials, permits and what we find on site.
Straight repairs usually don’t, but additions, remodels, water-heater changes and floodplain-related work often require a City of Wimberley trade permit and inspection. We pull the permits we’re responsible for and tell you upfront which ones a job needs, so nothing stalls at inspection. Describe the project when you call and we’ll confirm what applies.
Often — but don’t guess from an online number. Reported hardness ranges from about 107 mg/L on one utility report to a 293 mg/L county median, and it varies by whether you’re on Wimberley Water Supply Corporation, Aqua Texas, or a private Trinity Aquifer well. We test your actual supply first, then recommend a water softener, iron/sulfur filter or UV system only if the water calls for it.
Yes. After a flood or a hard freeze, we document the source, take photos before cleanup, make emergency repairs to stop further damage, and give you the paperwork your insurer and any mitigation company will need. We explain honestly what is a plumbing repair versus water-damage mitigation so you know who does what.
From our Wimberley base we reach most of the immediate valley in 15–30 minutes and reach San Marcos, Kyle, Buda and Dripping Springs quickly via RR 12 and I-35. Emergency calls are prioritized. Give us your address, access notes (long driveway, gate code, steep lot) and the symptom so we arrive ready.
Shut off the nearest fixture valve or the main water supply. If you are on a well, the pump may need to be isolated; if a grinder pump is involved, stop adding wastewater. Keep people and pets away from sewage or floodwater and any wet electrical areas. Photograph the source and damage before cleanup, then call us at (831) 290-4327.
