Wimberley’s hometown plumbers

Built for Hill Country homes

Wimberley isn’t like the suburbs. Most homes here run on private wells with pressure tanks, on-site septic or grinder pumps, and long supply runs across rocky, limestone lots. Many sit in the Blanco River and Cypress Creek floodplains, and every winter brings the risk of a hard freeze on an unoccupied cabin. Generic plumbing advice doesn’t fit that reality — local knowledge does.

After the 2015 Memorial Day flood and the 2021 freeze, we saw first-hand how much this community needed a plumber who understood flood-hardened rebuilding, backflow protection, elevated water heaters and freeze protection. That’s the work we’re proud to do — for full-time neighbors, weekend cabin owners, and the short-term-rental hosts who keep Wimberley’s visitor economy running.

What we stand for

The people who show up

When you call Blanco River Plumbing Co., you reach people who work here, not a national dispatch queue. Our plumbers have pulled well pumps out on the ranch roads, chased slab leaks through limestone, cleared grinder-pump backups after a storm, and rebuilt the plumbing in cabins the river got to. That hands-on history is why we can usually tell you on the phone whether a problem is the fixture, the buried line, the well pressure system, or the slab — before a truck ever rolls.

We keep the crew small on purpose. It means the plumber who diagnoses your job is accountable for it, the estimate you approve is the estimate you pay, and there’s a real name behind the warranty when you call back. We’d rather do fewer jobs right than rush through more.

How a job actually goes

Every visit starts the same way: we confirm the symptom and, in an emergency, help you shut off the water safely. Then we inspect the actual failure and, when it’s warranted, run a camera inspection, pressure test or electronic leak detection before we open a wall or excavate. You get repair and replacement options in plain English, priced in a written, line-item estimate — labor, materials, permits and warranty spelled out — and you approve the number before we start. When the work is done, we test flow and drainage and leave you with photos, warranty terms and any permit records.

For planned projects — a whole-house repipe, a water heater replacement, well-water treatment, or a remodel — we walk the property first and build the scope around your access, water source and budget. For a burst pipe or a sewage backup, we move fast. Either way, the process is the same promise: you’ll know what we found, what it takes to fix it, and what it costs before approved work begins.
