Boerne at a Glance

Seventeen Minutes Out The Kendall County Courthouse in Boerne is 12.2 miles from our shop: Highway 46 west, then River Road into town.
Three Water Sources Boerne city water blends Boerne City Lake, Canyon Lake water through GBRA and groundwater wells.
Hardness Varies Here The City of Boerne reports no single hardness number, because it changes across town. A test tells you what your tap runs.
Septic Past Town Past the city sewer, a Boerne house needs a county septic permit, and an aerobic system needs a signed maintenance contract.

> Lake Water, Well Water

## What Plumbers in Boerne Check Before Anything Else

> Plumbers in Boerne start by asking where the water comes from, because in Boerne it can come from three places. Boerne Utilities draws from Boerne City Lake, from Canyon Lake through GBRA and from groundwater wells, and the city says hardness varies across town for that reason. Where it runs hard, it shows up as scale in the heater and crust on the fixtures. Bergheim Plumbing is 17 minutes away in Spring Branch.

> Outside the city line, a Boerne house is often on its own well and septic system. Wells across Kendall County fall under the Cow Creek Groundwater Conservation District, and every aerobic septic system in the county needs an affidavit and a signed maintenance contract. When a drain runs slow out there, we check the plumbing inside the house first and tell you straight if the trouble is in the septic system.

## Plumbing Help for Boerne Homes

> All six services come to Boerne on the same truck. Start with the problem you have.

### Water Heaters and Softeners

> [Water heater repair and replacement](https://bergheimplumber.com/services/water-heater-repair-installation-services/). Whichever of the three sources reaches your Boerne block, minerals settle in the tank over the years. We drain it, repair it or replace it, tank or tankless, and you get the price first.

> [Water softener installation and service](https://bergheimplumber.com/services/water-softener-installation-services/). Boerne publishes no single hardness number, so we test your tap before we recommend anything. Then we size the softener to the house, or service the one already there.

### Leaks, Drains and Lines

> [General plumbing repairs](https://bergheimplumber.com/services/general-plumbing-repair-services/). Leaky valves, dripping supply lines, a toilet that will not stop running. In a Boerne house on city water or a well, we find the leak before we open anything.

> [Hydro jetting](https://bergheimplumber.com/services/hydrojet-services/). Grease and roots built up in a Boerne sewer line. Our own jetter clears the pipe wall to wall, and on a septic house we tell you first whether jetting is the right call.

### Faucets and Remodels

> [Faucet repair and replacement](https://bergheimplumber.com/services/water-faucet-repair-services/). Mineral crust on the aerator and a cartridge that will not shut off clean. In a Boerne kitchen or bath we repair or replace it, and the price comes before the work.

> [Bathroom remodels and repipes](https://bergheimplumber.com/services/renovation-services/). The plumbing behind a Boerne bathroom remodel, and full repipes when an older house needs new lines. The same family has done this work since 1998.

## Boerne From the Courthouse Out

> Boerne began in 1849 as a German camp called Tusculum on Cibolo Creek, took the name Boerne in 1852 and incorporated in 1909. Cibolo Creek still runs past downtown, and on summer evenings Main Plaza holds a concert where residents dance the polka. Berges Fest has come around every year since 1967.

> Downtown and the edge of town get the same Bergheim truck and the same deal: no charge to come out, and a price before any work. The miles here start at the courthouse on San Antonio Avenue, 17 minutes from the shop. Tell us your road when you call, and we will tell you honestly when we can be there.

## Boerne Plumbing, Asked and Answered

**Where Does Boerne's Tap Water Come From?**
Three places. Boerne Utilities blends water from Boerne City Lake, Canyon Lake through GBRA and groundwater wells. Which one reaches your house depends on where it sits in the system.

**Why Does Hardness Change From One Boerne Street to the Next?**
Because Boerne mixes lake water and well water, and the mix changes across town. The city does not report one hardness number for that reason. We test your tap, and if it runs hard, a water softener protects the water heater and the fixtures.

**My House Is Outside Boerne on a Well. Do You Come Out?**
Yes. A Boerne address on a private well is everyday work for us. Tell us the road when you call, and whether the house has a pressure tank and a softener.

**Do I Need a Permit for a Septic System Near Boerne?**
Yes. Kendall County permits septic systems, and an aerobic system needs an affidavit and a signed maintenance contract. The county has 30 days to approve or deny an application. We handle the plumbing in the house, not the septic permit.

**How Fast Can You Get to Boerne?**
About 17 minutes from the shop to the courthouse, out Highway 46 and River Road. You get an honest time on the phone, and if water is spreading, we tell you how to shut it off first.

**Is It Free to Have You Look in Boerne?**
Yes. There is no charge to come out to Boerne. You get the problem and the price, and you pay only for the work you approve.
