Plumbers in
Kerrville TX
Water heaters, softeners, drains and repairs for Kerrville homes, on city water or a well, about an hour up Interstate 10 from our shop.

The Short Version
- The Drive
- Kerrville is 46 miles from the shop: Highway 46 to Boerne, then up Interstate 10. About an hour, and we make the drive on purpose.
- The Water
- Kerrville city water comes from the Guadalupe River and deep wells. Past the city line, most homes run on their own well, and that water is hard.
- What We Run
- Every one of our six trades makes the trip to Kerrville: heaters, softeners, drains, faucets, hydro jetting and repipes.
- The Visit
- Coming out to Kerrville is free, even at 46 miles. We give you the price first, and you decide before any work begins.
City Water or Well Water
Why Plumbers in Kerrville Start With the Water
Kerrville water depends on where the house sits. Inside the city, it comes from the Guadalupe River, deep wells in the Lower Trinity Aquifer, and water the city stores underground for dry spells. Past the city line, most homes run on a private well, and Hill Country groundwater runs hard. Hard water coats heater tanks with scale, narrows faucet flow and shortens a softener’s life. We fix all of it, and the truck comes up I-10 from our shop in Spring Branch.
The Texas Water Development Board calls Trinity Aquifer groundwater in the Hill Country fresh but very hard. On a Kerrville well, that water runs through the heater, the faucets and the dishwasher every day, and it ends up as scale like the crust on this heating element. Tell us city water or well when you call, and whether the house has a softener. It helps us size up the job before the truck leaves the shop.

Both Banks of the Guadalupe
Kerrville Neighborhoods, River to Ridge
Kerrville began on a bluff north of the Guadalupe River, and the courthouse on Main Street still sits a mile from the water. The official elevation is 1,645 feet, and many of the neighborhoods climb higher into the hills on both banks.
A house on the river flats and a house up on the ridge get the same truck and the same rules: no charge to come out, and the price before any work. These are the parts of Kerrville we drive most, in miles from the courthouse. Tell us your road when you call, and we will give you an honest time. The farthest of them, out Bandera Highway, is still only four miles past the courthouse.

Straight Answers
Kerrville Questions, Straight Answers
Do You Really Come Out to Kerrville?
Yes. Kerrville is the far end of our map, 46 miles from the shop in Spring Branch, about an hour up I-10. It is a drive we already make, and there is no charge to come out.
Do You Have an Office in Kerrville?
No. There is no office in Kerrville. The shop and the trucks are on Highway 46 in Spring Branch, and the phone rings there. We drive up for the job.
Is Kerrville Water Hard on Plumbing?
On a private well, yes. City water comes from the Guadalupe River and deep wells. A house on a private well draws Hill Country groundwater, and that runs hard. Well water leaves scale that wears out water heaters early and plugs faucets, which is why a water softener is what we recommend most on a well.

Yes. After hours emergency service is available. If a pipe has burst or the house has no water, call and say it is an emergency. Kerrville is an hour out, so we will give you an honest time before we hang up.
