Cast-iron drains and stacks
Cast iron corrodes and scales over time, narrowing the pipe until drains back up or seep. Watch for slow drains throughout the house, sewer odors, rust stains on walls near the stack or cracks you can see in exposed pipe. We discuss repair of a section or replacement of the affected run.
Slab leak warning signs
Warm spots on the floor, running water sounds with every tap off, cracks in tile and a water bill that jumps are all reasons to suspect a slab leak. Turn off the main if water is surfacing, then call 737-259-7078 to arrange leak detection.
Plumbing questions in North Austin
Can you find a slab leak without tearing up the whole floor?
Leak detection aims to pinpoint the source before any opening is made. We explain the plan and price first.
Is a slab leak an emergency?
If water is surfacing or the bill is climbing fast, treat it as urgent. Shut off the main and call.
My North Austin drains smell like sewer. What should I check?
Run water in rarely used drains to refill their traps. If the smell continues, a cracked cast-iron pipe or vent problem may be the cause, so call to discuss it.
