Spicewood Plumbing & HVAC - Well Water & Septic Specialists

Spicewood is unincorporated. Homes are served by several small water systems or private wells, and we have not verified a single hardness figure. Private wells in Burnet County run harder: the median sampled well tests 369 mg/L, about 21.6 grains per gallon, and 99% of sampled wells test very hard. About 23% of Burnet County residents get their water from a private well.

The median home in Burnet County, where Spicewood sits was built in 1997, according to the Census Bureau. 28% were built before 1980 and 21% 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 Spicewood from our shop at 312 N Ridge Rd in Marble Falls.

The most effective solution is a whole-home water softener. A softener uses a process called ion exchange to physically remove the hardness minerals from your water. This protects your entire plumbing system, extends the life of water-using appliances, reduces soap and detergent usage, and leaves your skin, hair, and dishes feeling cleaner.

Common signs include white or chalky buildup on faucets and showerheads, spots on dishes and glassware, soap that doesn't lather well, dry or itchy skin after showering, dull or stiff laundry, and reduced water pressure. You may also notice your water heater and appliances failing prematurely due to scale buildup.

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.

Emergency calls on evenings, weekends, and holidays carry an after-hours fee. Whenever you call, we quote the price upfront before starting work, and acting quickly during an emergency often saves you money by preventing extensive water damage.

Tankless water heaters provide endless hot water on demand, are more energy-efficient (saving 20-30% on energy costs), take up much less space, and last significantly longer than traditional tank models. They're ideal for families who frequently run out of hot water or want to reduce their energy bills.
