Liberty Hill Plumbing & HVAC - Well Water & Hard Water Specialists

Liberty Hill city water comes from water purchased from Leander (Lake Travis) and averages 161 mg/L of hardness, about 9.4 grains per gallon (City of Liberty Hill 2023 water quality report). The U.S. Geological Survey classes that as hard. Private wells in Williamson County run harder: the median sampled well tests 282 mg/L, about 16.5 grains per gallon, and 78% of sampled wells test very hard.

The median home in Liberty Hill was built in 2017, according to the Census Bureau. 6% were built before 1980 and 82% 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 Liberty Hill from our shop at 312 N Ridge Rd in Marble Falls.

A water softener uses a process called ion exchange. Water flows through a tank filled with resin beads charged with sodium ions. As hard water passes through, the calcium and magnesium minerals stick to the beads while sodium ions are released into the water. Periodically, the system regenerates by flushing the beads with salt water to remove the minerals and recharge the resin.

Water softeners remove hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) to prevent scale buildup and improve water feel. Water filters remove things like chlorine, chloramine and sediment to improve taste and odor. Many homes benefit from both systems working together—a softener for the whole house and additional filtration for drinking water.

Traditional excavation does require digging, but we take great care to minimize damage and restore your property afterward. We'll mark out the work area, carefully remove and preserve sod, and backfill and grade properly when finished. For sensitive areas, trenchless technology can dramatically reduce surface disruption. We'll walk you through the entire process before starting work.

Our goal is to have a technician at your door within 60-90 minutes of your call, depending on your location and current conditions. We prioritize emergency calls based on severity and always aim to arrive as quickly as possible to minimize damage and restore your plumbing system.

The right size depends on your household size and hot water usage patterns. For traditional tanks, we typically recommend 40-50 gallons for 1-3 people, 50-60 gallons for 3-4 people, and 60-80 gallons for larger families. For tankless units, we calculate based on flow rate and temperature rise needed. We'll help you choose the perfect size during our consultation.
