Water Softeners
Well water and city water both come through limestone here. A softener sized for your household protects the heater, fixtures and appliances.
Softener optionsPlumbing and HVAC for Life on Liberty Hill Acreage
Wells, septic, limestone lots and long driveways off SH 29 make Liberty Hill homes different from a city subdivision. Radiant’s licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians and electricians treat them that way.
Liberty Hill was a quiet ranching town on the North Fork of the San Gabriel River for most of its history, and the older homes near downtown and the sculpture park still feel that way. What has changed is everything around them. Large master-planned communities along SH 29 and Ronald Reagan Boulevard have brought thousands of new slab-on-grade homes, while the country roads between them hold custom houses and ranchettes on acreage, many of them on private wells, septic systems and propane.
Radiant serves the whole mix. On acreage properties our plumbers work on pressure tanks, softeners, sediment filtration and the long water lines that run from a wellhead to the house. In the new neighborhoods we handle air conditioners pushed hard by full sun and hot attics, builder-grade water heaters and the first round of leaks. Our licensed electricians cover panels, EV chargers, well-pump circuits and the outbuildings that come with land.
Every call gets a licensed, background-checked technician, a plain explanation and a written price before work begins. That quote holds for 72 hours, and weekends and holidays cost the same as any other day. The Home Comfort Guarantee covers all of it.

Clear the drainLocal Knowledge
Limestone and caliche. Liberty Hill sits on the eastern edge of the Hill Country, and most lots are rock a foot or two down. That keeps slabs stable, but it makes every trench slow and costly. We use acoustic leak location and sewer cameras to be certain before anyone digs, and we talk through trenchless options when a line does need replacing.
Wells and septic. Outside the city limits and the newer subdivisions, private wells are common. That means a pressure tank and switch instead of a city meter, sediment and hardness that vary with the season, and a septic system that cares what goes down the drain. We handle the house side of the well and give straight advice on what belongs in a septic tank.
Very hard water. Whether it comes from a well or a utility, water here has passed through limestone. Scale on water heaters, tankless units and fixtures is the result, and a softener is the fix.
Sun, wind and hot attics. New homes on open land get sun on every wall and no shade. Properly sized cooling, sealed ducts and adequate attic insulation matter more here than in a tree-covered Austin neighborhood.
Propane and outages. Many acreage homes run on propane rather than natural gas, and rural power lines go down in storms. Our plumbers handle propane-fed appliances and our electricians install generator connections for homes that cannot afford to lose power to the well pump.
Freezes. Wellheads, pressure tanks and exposed lines to outbuildings are what froze in February 2021. Insulation and heat tape are cheap protection.
Liberty Hill is part of Radiant’s regular Austin-area territory, with Leander, Cedar Park and Georgetown just down the road.
Save on the work your home needs most.
Cycling pressure on a well system usually points to the pressure tank or the pressure switch, not the pump itself. A tank that has lost its air charge or has a failed bladder makes the pump kick on and off constantly, which you feel as surging at the shower and eventually as a burned-out pump. A stuck or mis-set switch does something similar. Our plumbers check the tank charge, the switch settings and the house-side plumbing, including any softener or filter that may be restricting flow, and quote the fix before doing it. We work on the house side of the system; if the problem is down the well casing, we will tell you that honestly so you can call a pump company.
It changes what we recommend, not whether we can help. Clearing the stoppage works the same way: we find where the line is blocked and clear it with a cable or, for grease and scale, hydro-jetting. The difference is what happens downstream. A repeated kitchen clog in a septic home often means the tank is due for pumping or the drain field is saturated, and no amount of cabling fixes that. We will tell you when the problem is past the house so you do not pay us twice for the same symptom. We also skip harsh chemical drain openers, which are hard on septic bacteria. Our drain cleaning page explains the tools we use.
Yes. Radiant is licensed for electrical work in the Austin area, and generator connections are common requests on acreage properties where an outage also means no well pump and no water. Our electricians install transfer switches and inlet connections for portable generators, and full standby generator installations for homes that want the whole house covered automatically. The right choice depends on what you need to keep running: a well pump, a refrigerator and a few circuits is a very different job from the entire house. We walk through the options and give you a written price for each. Learn more on our generator page.
Normal, and worth acting on. Liberty Hill water is hard from the day the house is built, so spotting on fixtures, film on glassware and a scale ring in the water heater start immediately. Most newer homes here are plumbed with a softener loop in the garage, which makes adding a water softener a straightforward job. We size it to the household, not to a sales sheet, and we can add a reverse osmosis tap in the kitchen if you want better-tasting drinking water too. Doing this in year one protects the water heater, dishwasher and washing machine for the rest of their lives.
