Kingsland & Lake LBJ Plumbing & HVAC - Hard Water Solutions for Vacation & Year-Round Homes

We have not been able to verify a published hardness figure for the Kingsland water supply corporation. 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 Kingsland was built in 1993, according to the Census Bureau. 28% were built before 1980 and 17% 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.

Calls are answered 24/7/365 within 30 seconds, and we will always show up within our given arrival window. We come to Kingsland from our shop at 312 N Ridge Rd in Marble Falls.

No. While water softeners use salt for regeneration, the amount of sodium added to softened water is minimal and typically unnoticeable. If you're on a strict low-sodium diet, you can install a reverse osmosis system at your kitchen sink for drinking and cooking water, or opt for a potassium-based softener instead of sodium.

It depends on the system — replacing an existing water softener, installing a new whole-home softener, adding an under-sink reverse osmosis system for drinking water, or whole-house filtration. We provide free water testing and quote the exact price upfront, before any work begins.

Yes. A leak from the bottom of the tank itself is a serious issue, typically indicating that the inner tank has corroded through. This is not repairable and is a sign of imminent failure that could lead to significant water damage. You should shut off the water and power supply to the heater and call us for an emergency replacement immediately.

Prevention is definitely the best strategy! You can avoid most clogs by adopting a few good habits. Most importantly, never pour grease or oil down the kitchen sink; let it cool and throw it in the trash instead. It's also a great idea to use drain strainers or mesh screens on all your sinks and tubs to catch hair and food particles before they go down.

A plumbing emergency is any situation that poses an immediate threat to your property or health. This includes burst pipes, major water leaks, sewer system backups, a completely clogged drain or toilet (especially if it's the only one), or a malfunctioning water heater leaving you with no hot water. If you're unsure, it's always better to call and ask.
