Plumber in Weir, TX

Licensed Plumbing Help a Short Drive Up FM 971

Weir is a small town with a long memory. Its state historical marker traces the community back to Thomas Calvin Weir, who settled here in 1856, and to the railroad that came through in 1893. Today Weir counts just under 700 residents, and Williamson County notes new homes going up in town. Proverbs Plumbing is a family-owned plumbing company based in Georgetown, about 6 miles southwest, so the trip out FM 971 is a short one for us.

We work on homes and small businesses all around Weir, from the streets near Weir Baptist Church to properties out toward the San Gabriel River, where the old river community of Towns Mill once stood. Our work is led by Johnny Gonzales III, a Texas Responsible Master Plumber (License M-44234) with more than 16 years in the trade. Weir students attend Georgetown ISD, and we think of the town the same way: part of our own backyard.

Plumbing Services in Weir

Weir has homes that have stood for decades next to houses built during the town's growth since 1990. Here is what we handle for both.

Residential Service & Repair: Leaky faucets, running toilets, low pressure and burst pipes in Weir homes, fixed by a licensed plumber who explains the repair before starting.
Commercial Service & Repair: Churches and small businesses in and around Weir get the same careful work, scheduled around the hours you keep.
Remodels: Updating an older kitchen or bathroom in town? We handle the rough-in and fixture plumbing so the new room works as well as it looks.
Water Filtration: Now that former Weir Waterworks customers are served by Jonah Water, some households want to fine-tune how their water tastes and feels. We install whole-house filters and water softeners sized for your home.
Tankless Water Heaters: A tankless unit heats water on demand and frees up floor space, a popular upgrade for the newer homes going up in town.
Tank Type Water Heaters: When a traditional tank gives out, we replace it with a correctly sized unit installed to current code.
Water Heater Repair: No hot water, a rumbling tank or a dripping relief valve gets diagnosed on site, with repair and replacement options laid out plainly.
Gas Lines: New gas lines for ranges, dryers and water heaters, plus leak repairs, done by a licensed master plumber.
Whole House Repairs: For Weir homes whose decades-old pipes keep failing, repiping replaces the problem once instead of patching it again and again.
Drain Cleaning: Slow kitchen sinks, clogged tubs and backed-up floor drains cleared without harming your pipes.
Sewer Line Repair: When the line between your house and the connection cracks or separates, we find the break and repair it.

Plumbing Issues We See Around Weir

A Recent Change in Water Providers

Weir's water system changed hands recently. In May 2023, Jonah Water Special Utility District announced that Weir Waterworks customers were now being served by Jonah, and the district keeps a Weir location at 600 FM 1105. Jonah's news updates also mention treated surface water from the Brazos River Authority, including a temporary pump the BRA set up at Lake Granger in July 2024.

For homeowners, the practical point is simple. The utility handles the water up to your meter. Everything on your side, from the service line in the yard to the last faucet in the house, belongs to you. If you notice a drop in pressure, a spike on your bill or a wet spot between the meter and the house, call us and we will track down where the water is going. Our tips on protecting your home's water line explain what to watch for.

A Town That Tripled in Size

Weir incorporated in 1987. It had 220 residents in 1990, 591 in 2000 and 699 at the 2020 census. That growth means neighbors can live in very different houses. One family may have plumbing that has been in the ground for decades, while the house down the road has builder-grade fixtures and a water heater that is only a few years old.

Older systems tend to show their age through slow leaks, corroded fittings and shutoff valves that no longer close all the way. Newer homes more often call for a water heater upgrade, a softener or sturdier fixtures than the builder chose. We look at what your house actually has before recommending anything.

Soil That Changes Across the County

The Balcones Escarpment splits Williamson County. To the east the ground is dark, clayey blackland soil. To the west the soils are loamy with limy subsoils. Clay swells when it is wet and shrinks during drought, which can stress slab plumbing and buried sewer lines. Which kind of ground sits under your Weir lot matters, so when we chase a hidden leak or a recurring sewer problem, we check the conditions around the house instead of assuming.

How a Service Call Works

A plumbing problem is stressful enough without guessing what happens next. Here is how a visit to your Weir home usually goes, from the first call to the final check.

1. You Call Us

Call (512) 240-4401 and tell us what is going on. Our regular hours are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., but a person answers the phone around the clock. If water is pouring through a ceiling or a sewer line has backed up into the house, we will come out after hours. If you smell gas, get everyone outside first and call your gas company or 911, then call us. While you wait on a burst pipe, shutting the main valve can limit the damage, so it pays to know where yours is before you need it.

2. We Find the Real Problem

When we arrive in Weir, we listen first. You know your house, and details like when a leak started or which drain backs up first save time. Then we inspect the fixture, pipe or appliance and trace the trouble to its source rather than treating the symptom you can see. For a suspected leak, that can include watching the meter with every fixture off to confirm water is really escaping somewhere.

3. You Hear Your Options

Before any work begins, we explain what we found in plain language. If there is more than one way to fix it, such as repairing a water heater or replacing it, we walk through the trade-offs so you can choose. You approve the plan and the cost up front, and nothing gets started without your okay.

4. We Do the Work

Once you give the go-ahead, we get to it. We protect floors and work areas, use quality parts and do the job to Texas plumbing code. If we find something unexpected once a wall or cabinet is open, we stop and talk with you before going any further. Larger jobs, like a repipe or a sewer line repair, get planned ahead of time so you know when the water will be off and which parts of the house we will need to reach.

5. Clean Up and Walk-Through

When the repair is finished, we clean up the work area, test everything we touched and show you what was done. It is a good time to ask about your water heater, your main shutoff or anything else on your mind. You should leave the visit with working plumbing and a clear picture of your system.

Why We Love Working in Weir, TX

Weir packs a lot of history into a small footprint. A few of the places that make the drive worthwhile:

City of Weir Texas Historical Marker: The state marker tells how Thomas Calvin Weir settled in 1856, the railroad arrived in 1893 and the Katy Lake Resort at Towns' Mill Dam drew tourists until a 1913 flood.
San Gabriel River and Old Towns Mill: Weir absorbed the older river community of Townsville, also known as Towns Mill, whose post office moved to Weir in 1903.
Weir Baptist Church: Bill Moyers, later press secretary to President Lyndon B. Johnson, served as its student pastor while attending the University of Texas.

Weir even played a small part in early air travel. In 1930 an emergency landing field with a beacon and searchlight was built here for airline routes between Mexico City and Chicago. The town was named for pioneer Calvin Weir, whose son Horace became the first postmaster.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you serve homes on Jonah Water in Weir?

Do you pump septic tanks?

No, we do not pump septic tanks. We do handle drain cleaning and sewer line repair, and if a backup turns out to be a septic tank issue, we will tell you so you can call a septic company.

Yes. We install both tank-type and tankless water heaters, and we repair existing units when a repair makes more sense than a replacement. You will hear both options before any work begins.
