About Our Plumbing Services in Spicewood

Spicewood homes run differently than homes inside the city. Many properties pull water from private wells, manage waste through septic systems, and sit far enough from the nearest supply house that every service call needs to count. At Cold is on the Right, our plumbers come prepared for that reality. We understand the full picture — from pressure tank issues and well pump performance to hard water buildup in pipes and fixtures — and we give you honest answers about what's going on before any work begins.

Whether you're dealing with a slow drain in an older ranch house, a failing water heater on a weekend, or hard-to-trace leaks in a newer lakeside build, we handle it all with the same straightforward approach: clear pricing, no shortcuts, and work that holds up long after we've left your property. Spicewood residents trust us because we treat every job like it's our own home on the line.

Plumbing Services We Provide in Spicewood

Plumbing Repairs

From burst pipes to worn-out fixtures, plumbing repairs on acreage properties require a technician who can assess the full system and fix the root cause, not just the symptom. We handle repairs on well-fed homes and city-connected properties alike, and we don't leave until the job is solid. Whether it's a cracked fitting under the slab or a leaking outdoor hose bib, we get it done right.

Emergency Plumbing

A plumbing emergency on a rural Spicewood property can feel especially isolating — especially when you're miles from the nearest hardware store and the water isn't stopping. Our emergency plumbers are available when problems can't wait, including burst pipes, sewage backups, and sudden water heater failures. Call us and we'll get someone out to you fast.

Leak Detection

Hidden leaks are harder to ignore when you're on a well system and your pump is running constantly to keep up. We use advanced leak detection tools to locate the source of pressure loss, water stains, or unexplained spikes in usage without tearing into walls unnecessarily. Catching a leak early saves serious money on water, structural damage, and foundation repairs.

Learn More

Slab Leak Detection

Slab leaks can go undetected for months in Hill Country homes, silently eroding foundations and driving up utility costs. Our technicians use specialized acoustic and thermal tools to pinpoint leaks beneath concrete slabs before the damage gets out of hand. If you've noticed warm spots on your floor, unexplained wet areas, or a well pump that won't stop cycling, it's worth having us take a look.

Learn More

Drain Cleaning

Hard Hill Country water leaves mineral deposits that narrow pipes over time, and septic-connected homes need drains that flow cleanly to protect the entire system downstream. We clear clogs and buildup using professional-grade equipment that goes beyond what a plunger or store-bought product can reach. Regular drain cleaning keeps your plumbing healthy and your septic system from getting overloaded.

Learn More

Water Heaters

When you're on well water, sediment buildup inside your water heater tank is a real and recurring problem that shortens equipment life and reduces efficiency. We service, repair, and replace water heaters for Spicewood homes, and we'll tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense or if a replacement will save you more in the long run. We carry options suited to the demands of rural properties, including high-capacity and tankless units.

Learn More

Tankless Water Heater Installation

Tankless water heaters are a smart fit for Spicewood homes, especially properties that aren't on municipal water and want to stop replacing sediment-damaged tanks every few years. We size and install tankless units correctly for your home's flow rate and water quality, ensuring consistent hot water without the waste of keeping a tank heated around the clock. A properly installed tankless system can last decades with routine maintenance.

Learn More

Water Softeners

Well water in the Spicewood area is notoriously hard, loaded with calcium and magnesium that leaves scale on fixtures, inside pipes, and inside water heaters. A professionally installed water softener extends the life of every appliance and pipe in your home while improving the feel and taste of your water. We help you choose the right system for your property's water chemistry and install it to last.

Learn More

Water Filters and Filtration

Private well water comes with variables that city water doesn't — bacteria, sediment, iron, sulfur, and other contaminants that change with rainfall and seasonal conditions. We install whole-home filtration systems that address the specific issues found in your well water, protecting your family and your plumbing at the same time. We can work with an existing softener setup or design a complete treatment solution from scratch.

Learn More

Whole House Repiping

Older Spicewood homes and ranch properties sometimes have galvanized steel or polybutylene pipe still running through their walls — materials that corrode, crack, and eventually fail. A whole-house repipe replaces aging infrastructure with modern, durable piping that handles well water pressure and mineral content far better. It's a significant investment, but it eliminates ongoing leak calls and protects your home's value long term.

Learn More

Gas Line Installation

Propane is the fuel of choice for many Spicewood properties that aren't connected to natural gas infrastructure, and safe, properly sized gas line installation is critical for generators, cooktops, water heaters, and outdoor grills. Our licensed technicians design and install gas lines to code, with pressure testing before we ever leave the property. Whether it's a new appliance hookup or a full outdoor kitchen run, we do it safely and correctly.

We Know Spicewood Homes

Spicewood is a mix of longtime ranch properties, custom homes on large lots, and newer lakeside builds near Lake Travis — and the plumbing picture is different on every one of them. Older homes in the area often have outdated pipe materials that weren't designed to handle decades of hard Hill Country water, and we see the results regularly: pinhole leaks, reduced flow, and water heaters that give out years ahead of schedule. Knowing what to look for before a problem becomes a crisis is part of what makes working out here different.

On top of that, the majority of Spicewood properties rely on private wells and septic systems, which means every drain, every pipe, and every fixture is part of a closed loop that has to be maintained with care. We've worked on enough well-fed homes in this area to know how local geology and seasonal rainfall affect water quality, pressure, and system performance. That experience is what Spicewood homeowners are getting when they call Cold is on the Right.

High Fives from Austin Homeowners

Graysen and Andrew from Cold is on the Right came out just a couple hours after I called and took care of cutting out my kitchen faucet. They were professional, friendly, and clearly knowledgeable, explaining everything in a straightforward way without any upselling or confusion. It was refreshing to get honest answers and excellent service so quickly. I’ll definitely be using them again for future plumbing needs.

We contacted Cold is on the Right today with an urgent plumbing need. Their very professional and organized crew arrived within 30 minutes and fixed our issue. We called five other plumbing companies before them and no one was able to help us. Cold is on the Right will now be the first plumbers we call.

We called due to slow drainage and apparently main line backing up into master bathroom shower and sink. There is an automated line that takes your information and apparently works very well. Plumbers Billy and Jeremy showed up promptly after we were informed they were being dispatched this morning, they stayed and worked until the problem was solved and advised on possible future repairs that would need to be done. They were professional, smart, respectful of our home, and efficient in their actions. Let us know what things would cost and were honest in their assessment of what would be needed next and how (un) likely our homeowners insurance would be able to help.  I appreciate the service and the fair treatment by these gentlemen. Thank you.

Santiago and Kyle were amazing during our total HVAC system replacement. Kind, informative, knowledgeable and careful to ensure a smooth install. They were efficient and got my AC working before my family arrived for spring break. Now enjoying the cool air with family. Great pricing and quick turn around from quote to finished job. Thank you! 10/10 would recommend them to anyone needing HVCA or plumbing work.

These guys are prompt and very polite, and explain your options well without trying to upsell. We thought we needed three things replaced, but they showed us that one of the three just needed an adjustment rather than a replacement. Wonderful service!
