FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful tips and answers to common plumbing questions.
Garbage Disposal Care
Run cold water before, during, and for 15 seconds after using your disposal. Never put grease, fibrous vegetables (celery, artichokes), potato peels, pasta, or bones down it. If it hums but won't spin, try unjamming the blades first — many units have a socket on the bottom where you can insert a disposal wrench and rock it back and forth to free up the blades. If that doesn't work, press the red reset button on the bottom of the unit. Still no luck? That's when you call us.
How to Turn Off the Water
Every household member should know this. Individual fixtures have shutoff valves underneath or behind them — turn clockwise to close. Your whole-house shutoff is typically near the water meter, at the front of the house, or where the main line enters the foundation. In a plumbing emergency, go straight to the whole-house shutoff first and ask questions later.
How quickly can you get to me?
For existing customers, we prioritize same-day and next-day scheduling. New customers are scheduled based on availability — call us at (254) 768-9043 and we'll get you on the calendar as fast as possible. After-hours service is available for existing customers with urgent situations.
What are signs I have a slab leak?
Watch for unexplained spikes in your water bill, warm or wet spots on the floor, the sound of running water when everything is off, new cracks in walls or tile, or low water pressure throughout the house. Slab leaks don't fix themselves — the longer they go, the more damage they cause. Call us if you notice any of these.
Do you warranty your work?
Yes. We warranty both parts and labor on our repairs. If something we fixed fails due to our workmanship or a defective part, we'll come back and make it right. We stand behind every job we do — that's part of what five-star reviews are built on.
Do you work with property managers?
Absolutely — property managers are a core part of our business. We work with both residential and commercial property managers, and we understand the documentation you need, the scheduling pressure you're under, and the importance of tenant-friendly service. We provide photo documentation and detailed invoices on every job. Call us to talk about setting up a preferred contractor relationship.
Do you provide written estimates?
Always. We provide a written estimate before any work begins — no surprises on the invoice. For diagnostic calls (like slab leak detection) we charge a flat-rate fee, then give you a written estimate with a price range for the repair before we proceed. You decide whether to move forward.
Are your plumbers licensed in Texas?
Yes. All work is performed under the license of our Responsible Master Plumber, Shane Simpson (RMP License #M22374), regulated by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners — verify at tsbpe.texas.gov. We also hold a Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester license (BP0024874), regulated by TDLR — verify at tdlr.texas.gov. We carry full liability insurance on all work.
