What Marble Falls homeowners call us about most
Marble Falls sits on the Highland Lakes, with Lake Marble Falls running through town and Lake LBJ just upstream. Hill Country water, lake homes, and hot summers shape most of the calls we get here.
Hard water wearing out water heaters and fixtures
Water in the Highland Lakes picks up minerals from the limestone it runs over. That scale builds up inside tank and tankless water heaters, faucet aerators and shower valves. We flush and descale, repair what can be repaired, and replace tank water heaters for $2,200 to $4,400 installed. A water softener is the long-term fix.
Grinder pump alarms on lake and hillside homes
Homes that sit below the street or down by the water often can't drain to the sewer by gravity, so a grinder pump in a buried tank pushes wastewater uphill through a pressure line. If the alarm light comes on, stop using water, reset the pump's breaker once, leave the lid closed and call us. The usual causes are a failed float switch, a clog from wipes, a bad check valve or a wiring fault, and many are fixed without replacing the pump.
What does a grinder pump replacement cost in Marble Falls? Most replacements run $6,000 to $12,000 installed, depending on tank depth, the pump your system takes, how far the discharge line runs to the main, and whether the control panel or alarm failed too. Repairs cost a fraction of that. Every visit starts with a $65 trip charge that we credit toward the work, and you get a written price for each option before anything starts. See our grinder pump repair and replacement page for how we diagnose.
AC and heat pumps that run all summer
A Marble Falls summer keeps the air conditioner running most of the day for months. The repairs we see most are failed capacitors, refrigerant leaks, frozen coils and clogged condensate drains. We repair AC, do seasonal tune-ups, and replace systems with a written price first.
Freezes and burst pipes
Hill Country cold snaps catch exposed pipes, hose bibs and attic lines. We repair burst pipes, and for weekend and lake homes we can walk you through shutting off and draining before you leave.

Old Town and the original township. Some of the oldest homes in the Hill Country. Galvanized and cast-iron lines, aging water heaters and repipes are the usual calls.
