Plumber, AC Repair & Electrician in Round Rock, TX

When the camera says so, not on age alone. Cast iron lasts a long time, but after fifty years the inside surface gets rough and scaled, which catches grease and paper and causes repeat clogs, and eventually the bottom of the pipe rusts through. We run a camera through the line to see the actual condition. If it is rough but intact, hydro-jetting and a maintenance schedule may buy years. If it has channeled or cracked, we quote a replacement or a trenchless liner in writing. Repeated slow drains in a home that age are a reason to look, not a reason to panic.

We can schedule all three, though they may be separate technicians because each trade is separately licensed. Many Round Rock homeowners book us for a water heater replacement and ask us to look at a tripping breaker and a weak AC on the same day, and we coordinate that through one office rather than three companies. Each technician gives you a written price for their work before starting, and the pricing does not change if the visit lands on a weekend. Care Club members get the plumbing inspection and two HVAC tune-ups each year, which is the easiest way to keep the whole house looked at. Details are on the Care Club page.

It can be, but it should be inspected every fall. A gas furnace that has spent nearly thirty summers in a 130-degree attic has a heat exchanger that has expanded and contracted thousands of times, and a cracked exchanger can let combustion gases into the air stream. Our technicians check the exchanger, the burners, the flame sensor and the venting during a furnace tune-up, and we tell you plainly what we find. If it passes, you keep running it. If it does not, we quote the repair and a replacement side by side; many Round Rock homeowners take the chance to switch to a heat pump at that point.

Three things. First, the water heater and the softener loop: hard water starts scaling on day one, and a softener installed early protects every appliance downstream. Second, the AC installation: builder systems are sometimes charged or ducted in a hurry, and a proper tune-up in the first summer catches a low charge or a leaky duct while the builder warranty still applies. Third, the electrical panel: confirm there is capacity for the EV charger, hot tub or shop you are planning before you buy them. A single plumbing inspection and tune-up visit covers most of this, and everything we find comes with a written price and no obligation.
