Wells, Well-Water Treatment & Septic-Aware Service

Spicewood's rural Hill Country setting shapes its plumbing. Many homes here are on private Trinity-aquifer wells drilled hundreds of feet through limestone and on aerobic septic systems required by the area's shallow soil, rock, slopes, and aquifer-recharge terrain, so well and pressure-tank service, well-water treatment (this deep limestone water runs very hard and can carry iron and sediment, calling for softening and multi-stage filtration), and septic-aware drain and sewer service are core, everyday needs. Homes sit on concrete slabs over thin soil and shallow limestone, with hillside slopes and rocky ground, so slab leaks, differential settling, and rocky trenching are common. Lakefront estates along Lake Travis add outdoor, irrigation, and dock-area plumbing, and new luxury construction keeps our installation crews busy.

Spicewood homes are built on concrete slabs over Hill Country limestone as Central Texas makes standard, not basements so slab-leak detection and rocky excavation matter, alongside well and septic service. Rural areas are off the natural-gas grid, so propane-line work is common. Summers are long and hot; winters are mild but bring occasional hard freezes (like February 2021) that burst exposed pipes, well houses, and pump equipment.

Brennie Brackett

Made appointment to pinpoint leak in shower head. Turned out it was the valve which needed replacing. Hugo was great. Ordered it and returned the following day to install. He also shared information about flushing out our tankless water heaters and addressing excessive pressure coming into the house. We are checking with the builder before we schedule those additional jobs to see if there is any warranty on our home.

Mark Katzman

Hugo came on time. Fixed problem.

Donna

Angi recommended Benjamin Franklin Plumbing with a 5-star rating. Repairman, Wilson did a great job. We had a leak in a waterline in the front yard. Excellent service. He was professional, knowledgeable, and worked in a timely manner. Afterwards, he cleaned up the work site and did a safety inspection. I would definitely recommend this company and Wilson 😃

Rich Dunham

★★★★★ Exceptional service from Ethan and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Lisbon! I called just before closing and they had someone out to my home first thing the next morning. Ethan was fantastic - very polite, professional, and efficient. Pricing was very upfront before any service was provided, so there were no surprises. The job was completed within an hour! Exceptional customer service from start to finish - I also spoke to the office manager and everybody was very polite. It’s GREAT to have and know this company is serving the North Country! Thank you! Highly recommend!

Jim O'Callaghan

We were very blessed to have such an expert as Mike come to our house to troubleshoot our hot water heater. The man is a consummate professional, has decades of experience, knew exactly what he was doing, did what he needed to do, and we couldn't be more pleased to have had this absolute expert come to evaluate our water heater. As soon as we met him, we knew we were in good hands. He'll be back in 2 days to replace the hot water heater. Thank you so much!

William Rosshirt

Great! Andrew was friendly and knowledgeable. Came out an hour after I called and got my water line fixed up. He also let me know how to protect it from future problems. I'm a happy customer

Justin Faulkner

Great communication when trying to schedule and when in route. Answered my questions and explained options before starting. Completed the work, verified it was fixed and cleaned the area when he was done. (Kitchen sink clog - more than 25’ from the sink)

William Whitehouse

Justin did a great job unclogging my kitchen sink. I tried to do it myself and evidently it went up the vent at the T instead of going down into the clog. Hopefully it will not clogged again but if it does and I can't get it I will be calling again. This is the 2nd time I've used Ben Franklin Plumbing and am happy the the fast response and courtesy of the plumbers. I recommend Ben Franklin Plumbing to anyone I know needing a plumber.

N Peterson

Chris is very upbeat and personable. He showed up on time and was very knowledgeable and got everything done the same day that we needed repaired and replaced. I’m very pleased with his work and would highly recommend Chris for any future plumbing projects.

Jorge Hernandez

Jordan is amazing! He went out of his way to get the job done. Professional top-notch the best I’ve seen in a long time I would recommend and make sure you ask for Jordan.M

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my Spicewood home on a well and septic?

Many rural Hill Country homes here are. We service Trinity-aquifer wells and pressure tanks, treat well water for hardness, iron, and sediment, and provide septic-aware service for the area's aerobic septic systems.

Why does my Spicewood well water taste hard or leave stains?

Deep Hill Country well water is very hard and can carry iron and sediment. After a water test, we install the right softener and multi-stage filtration to protect your home and appliances.

Do slab leaks happen on Spicewood's rocky ground?

Yes. Homes on concrete slabs over thin soil and shallow limestone can see differential settling that stresses the pipes beneath, and hillside lots add drainage considerations. We locate and repair slab leaks with acoustic and pressure testing.

Do you handle propane lines and new construction in Spicewood?

Yes. Rural Spicewood is largely off the natural-gas grid, so we do propane-line work, and we handle new luxury construction, remodels, and tankless installs throughout the area.
