Horseshoe Bay Luxury Home Plumbing & HVAC - PRV & Hard Water Specialists

Horseshoe Bay city water comes from Lake LBJ and averages 175 mg/L of hardness, about 10.2 grains per gallon (City of Horseshoe Bay 2019 water quality report). The U.S. Geological Survey classes that as hard. Private wells in Llano County run harder: the median sampled well tests 328 mg/L, about 19.2 grains per gallon, and 93% of sampled wells test very hard. About 9% of Llano County residents get their water from a private well.

The median home in Horseshoe Bay was built in 1995, according to the Census Bureau. 16% were built before 1980 and 14% since 2010. Older homes tend to need drain, valve and ductwork attention; newer ones are more often reaching the end of their original water heater and AC.

It depends on your water quality and concerns. If your municipal water has chlorine taste/odor or you have sediment issues, a whole-house filter improves water throughout your home for bathing and laundry. For better drinking water, an under-sink reverse osmosis (RO) system provides the highest level of filtration. We can test your water and recommend the right solution.

Water softeners need salt refilled regularly (monthly to quarterly, depending on usage) and professional servicing annually. Reverse osmosis systems need filter changes every 6-12 months and membrane replacement every 2-3 years. Whole-house filters vary by type but typically need filter changes every 3-6 months. We offer maintenance plans to keep your systems running optimally.

Traditional tank water heaters typically last 8-12 years, while tankless models can last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. The lifespan depends on factors like water quality, maintenance frequency, and usage patterns. Regular flushing and anode rod replacement can significantly extend your unit's life.

Our drain cleaning prices are flat-rate. Clearing a single fixture drain — a tub, shower, sink, or laundry line — costs less than clearing a main line, where the price depends on access and whether the job needs a camera inspection or hydro-jetting. Either way, we quote the exact price upfront, before any work begins.

First, shut off your main water valve immediately to stop the water flow. Then turn off your home's electricity if water is near electrical outlets or appliances. Move furniture and valuables away from the water, and start removing standing water if safe to do so. Call us immediately—burst pipes can cause thousands of dollars in damage very quickly and require immediate professional repair.
