Plumber in North Austin, TX

Plumbing Service for North Austin Neighborhoods

North Austin is about 18 to 22 miles south of our Georgetown base, usually 25 to 30 minutes on I-35 or on US 183 and SH 45. Proverbs Plumbing is a family-owned company led by Responsible Master Plumber Johnny Gonzales III (Texas License M-44234), who has more than 16 years of experience, and we serve homes and businesses on both the Travis County and Williamson County sides of North Austin.

We work in Wells Branch, the established master-planned community with its own MUD, and in Milwood off Parmer Lane near Balcones District Park. We also serve Scofield Farms, which dates to 1985, along with Anderson Mill, Jollyville, Great Hills, and the 78727 neighborhoods of Angus Valley, Champions Forest and Preston Oaks. Much of this part of town grew as development spread outward from Austin in the 1970s and 1980s, so plenty of North Austin houses have plumbing that has been working hard for a long time.

What We Keep in Mind in North Austin

Homes With Some Years Behind Them

Travis County's development spread outward from the city through the 1970s and 1980s, and North Austin neighborhoods like Scofield Farms, established in 1985, came out of that era. Homes that old have been through decades of daily showers, laundry loads and dishwasher cycles. Many have had their water heaters, shutoff valves, fixtures and drain lines replaced or repaired in bits and pieces over the years, and some haven't been touched at all.

When leaks start showing up in more than one spot, it may be time to ask whether patching still makes sense. Our article on the signs it's time for a house repipe walks through the warning signs.

Water heaters are another thing to check in a home this age. If yours has no date you can read, shows rust at the base or has a relief valve that drips, it may already be living on borrowed time. Replacing it on your schedule beats replacing it after it floods a garage or closet.

Austin Water or a MUD

Most of North Austin gets its water from Austin Water, which treats Colorado River water from Lake Travis and Lake Austin. The Handcox plant, which opened on Lake Travis in 2014, serves the northern part of the city, alongside the Davis and Ullrich plants. Some neighborhoods are in municipal utility districts instead. Wells Branch MUD, for example, buys its water wholesale from Austin Water. The plumbing inside your house works the same either way, but knowing your provider helps when you're chasing a high bill or a question about the line to your meter.

Two Counties and Several School Districts

North Austin doesn't follow tidy boundaries. The 78729 zip code and parts of 78717 and 78750 are in Williamson County, while the rest of the area is in Travis County. School districts vary as well: Round Rock ISD, Pflugerville ISD and Leander ISD cover much of far north and northwest Austin, and Austin ISD covers the rest, so it's always worth checking an exact address. None of that changes who we'll send. We serve homes on both sides of the county line.

How a Service Call Works

Here's how we take care of a plumbing call in North Austin, from first contact to final walk-through. North Austin traffic being what it is, we'll give you a realistic idea of timing when you call.

We Pick Up the Phone

Call us whenever something goes wrong. Standard appointments are Monday through Friday, 7am to 5pm, and our phone is answered 24/7. When it's an emergency, like a burst line or sewage coming up through a drain, we'll come out after hours. Let us know your cross streets and what you're seeing so we can plan the drive and the parts. If you know whether your home is on Austin Water or a MUD like Wells Branch, mention it, but don't worry if you're not sure.

We Diagnose Before We Talk Price

Older homes can hide problems in more than one place. We inspect the trouble spot, check the related fixtures and lines, and pin down the cause before we talk about a fix. In a house from the 1980s, one failing valve can be a sign that others of the same age aren't far behind, so we'll take a quick look at those too.

We Explain Your Options

You'll get a clear explanation of what's wrong and a straightforward list of options, from a targeted repair to a larger replacement. We'll tell you which one we'd pick for our own house and why. If your home is a candidate for repiping, we'll say so plainly, and we'll be equally plain when a single repair will do.

We Wait for Your Approval

You approve the price and the plan before work starts. If something else turns up once we're in there, we talk with you before doing anything more. That applies to small repairs and larger projects alike.

We Do the Work

The job is completed to code under the oversight of a licensed master plumber, with care taken to protect your floors, cabinets and landscaping. In an occupied home, that also means keeping the water off for as little time as possible and letting you know before we shut it off.

We Clean Up and Show You

Once we're done, we tidy the work area, test the repair and walk you through it, pointing out anything else in an older system that deserves a closer look down the road. If there's something to budget for later, like an aging water heater, you'll hear it from us now.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you serve homes in the Wells Branch MUD?

Yes. We serve homes in Wells Branch, whose MUD buys water wholesale from Austin Water, as well as homes served directly by Austin Water.

Do you work on both the Travis and Williamson County sides?

Yes. We serve North Austin in both counties, including the 78729 zip code and the Williamson County parts of 78717 and 78750.

My 1980s home keeps springing leaks. Should I repipe?

Possibly. If leaks keep showing up in different places, repiping can make more sense than paying for repair after repair. We'll inspect your system and give you an honest recommendation either way.

Is North Austin's water hard?

We don't quote a hardness number for North Austin because we haven't confirmed a current measured figure. If you're seeing scale or spots, a softener or filtration system is worth discussing, and we can help you weigh the options.

How far is North Austin from you?

About 18 to 22 miles. We're based in Georgetown, roughly 25 to 30 minutes north via I-35 or US 183 and SH 45, and we answer the phone 24/7.
