Plumbing Services in Hyde Park, Austin TX

Hyde Park is one of Austin's oldest residential neighborhoods, developed from the 1890s through the 1940s along the Guadalupe Street corridor between UT Austin and 51st Street. The neighborhood's beautiful Craftsman bungalows, Victorian cottages, and early Ranch homes command premium prices — but they carry the plumbing heritage of their era: galvanized supply pipes, cast-iron drain lines, and cast-iron or clay sewer laterals.

Hyde Park galvanized steel supply pipes are typically 60-90 years old. The internal corrosion reduces these pipes to a fraction of their original interior diameter, sometimes to less than a quarter-inch — explaining the characteristically low water pressure many Hyde Park homeowners experience throughout the house. The rust that continuously flakes off these pipes also stains fixtures and water-using appliances. Re-piping with PEX is the permanent solution.

Cast-iron drain lines and sewer laterals in Hyde Park homes have been deteriorating for 60-90 years. Many sections have cracked, allowing tree roots from the neighborhood's mature oak, pecan, and elm tree canopy to infiltrate and eventually block the sewer. Video camera inspection of your sewer lateral is the first step in determining whether you need spot repair, hydro-jetting, or full sewer lateral replacement. We perform all three.
