Bathroom remodel rough-in and drain relocation
We cut into the slab to relocate the toilet flange and shower drain, then run new PEX supply lines to the vanity and shower valve. The old copper or galvanized lines get capped and abandoned.
Cedar Park is about 20 minutes southwest of Georgetown. We serve homeowners there with everything from drain cleaning to repiping. Our crew is familiar with the area's older homes and newer developments alike.

Cedar Park's housing mix spans 1980s ranch-style homes near the old downtown, large two-story houses in the newer subdivisions off Lakeline Boulevard, and acreage properties west of 183A. The limestone bedrock sits close to the surface in many areas, making trenching for repiping a slow, careful job. Freeze events are less frequent than farther north, but they still hit the exposed pipes in crawlspaces and exterior walls. The clay soils here are less expansive than in Round Rock, but they still shift enough to crack underground sewer lines in older neighborhoods. The town's growth has brought a lot of new construction, so we see both aging systems and modern builds with complex manifold layouts.
Our crew drives southwest from Georgetown on 183A or Parmer Lane, arriving in Cedar Park in about 20 minutes. We show up with a van stocked for the day's job, whether that's a water heater swap or a full repipe. At the house we set up a staging area in the driveway, lay down runners in the hallways, and use a portable work table to keep tools off the floor. We know the subdivisions that have shared utility easements, the homes with slab-on-grade that need careful leak detection, and the older properties where the main shutoff is buried under landscaping. We clean up the work area before we leave, and we always take the debris with us.

Cedar Park's older homes often have original galvanized drains that need upgrading during a bathroom remodel, while new builds require precise rough-in for custom showers.
Hard water in Cedar Park builds up sediment in tank heaters, and the town's newer homes often have attic units that require careful handling during swap-outs.
Many 1980s homes still have low-flow toilets that clog easily, and the wax rings on slab foundations fail as the house settles, causing floor leaks.
Sewer lines in the older sections of Cedar Park are often clay or cast iron, and tree roots from live oaks find their way into the joints, requiring hydro-jetting or augering.
We cut into the slab to relocate the toilet flange and shower drain, then run new PEX supply lines to the vanity and shower valve. The old copper or galvanized lines get capped and abandoned.
We drain the old tank, cut it out through the attic access, and set the new unit in a corrosion-resistant drip pan with a drain line routed to the exterior. We reconnect the gas or electric and test for leaks.
We locate the cleanout, auger the line to break up the clog, then run a hydro-jetter at full pressure to flush out grease and root debris. We camera the line afterward to confirm the pipe is clear.
A mix of 1980s ranch homes and small commercial buildings near Bell Boulevard. We work on galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains, often in tight crawlspaces under low-pitch roofs.
Newer subdivisions with large two-story homes on slab foundations. We replace water heaters in attics, repipe through insulated chases, and coordinate with HOAs for exterior work.
Properties on well water and septic systems, often with long supply runs from the wellhead. We repair freeze-damaged above-ground pipes and replace pressure tanks, working on rural lots with no curb stops.
The City of Cedar Park requires permits for water heater replacements and any work that alters the supply or drain piping. The contractor pulls the permit and schedules the inspection, which covers the gas line, venting, and backflow prevention.
Moving or adding fixtures in a bathroom remodel requires a plumbing permit from the city. The homeowner should verify that the permit covers the rough-in inspection before the walls are closed, and a final inspection after the fixtures are set.

“I can't believe I hadn't reviewed these guys yet after all of the good work they've done for us in the last two years. I really enjoy working with RC. He's been to our house multiple times, both for bathroom remodel projects that included tub/toilet replacements, and water heater replacement. I've worked with lots of contractors, and they are one of the few that I've worked with that I trust, and consistently offer the best combination of service and pricing. No high pressure upsell's or doom and gloom stories about your plumbing; just honest dialogue about the best options for your specific situation.”
“We highly recommend Mason with Whiteaker Plumbing. He responded very quickly and arrived right on time. He assessed our leak issue and explained the problem as well as showed us what needed to be repaired. He gave us a repair cost which was very fair and reasonable and then he got to work. He was extremely professional and personable. He did a great job and cleaned up everything when he was done.”
“We had a break in the water service line at our home in Georgetown. A neighbor recommended Whiteaker Plumbing based on the great experience he had with them on several indoor and outdoor projects/repairs. Fortunately for us, Mason from Whiteaker was able to come and make the repair that same day. Mason was professional, knowledgeable, and meticulous in making the repairs. He was also friendly and happy to explain what he was doing and how it would be an improvement versus how the original service line (and attached irrigation line) had been run.”
“RC came out the day of my pipe breaking. He repaired it quickly and did an outstanding job. Thank you RC for your professionalism and expertise. This is the second time I have used Whiteaker Plumbing in 3 years and RC did both jobs with a 5 star service. I will be calling again the next time I needs plumbing work.”
“I would definitely recommend Whiteaker Plumbing. Mason the plumber was very personable & explained how things worked as he went along. He took special care to make sure everything was fine until the next day when the final hookup would be made. He cleaned up after the job & went out of his way to get the part we were missing for one of the jobs.”
