Full repipe of a slab foundation home
We tunnel under the slab or run new PEX lines through the attic, tying into existing fixtures without cutting into the floor. The old galvanized or polybutylene piping gets abandoned in place.
Round Rock is just a short drive south from our base in Georgetown. We provide the full range of plumbing services, from leak repairs to water heater replacements. Local homeowners often call us for bathroom remodels and pipe repairs.

Round Rock's housing stock runs from established neighborhoods near the downtown corridor to newer subdivisions pushing east toward the toll road. The limestone bedrock and clay soils here shift with seasonal rain, which puts steady stress on underground pipes and can cause slab leaks in older slab-on-grade homes. Summers push water heaters hard, and the freeze events that roll down from the north test exposed piping on the outskirts. With a mix of 1970s ranch homes and modern two-story builds, the work here demands familiarity with both copper and PEX systems and the local ground conditions that affect drainage and foundation plumbing.
Our crew loads up each morning at the Georgetown shop and heads south on I-35, usually arriving within twenty minutes. We pull up with a fully stocked trailer so we can handle most repairs on the first visit, from leak detection gear to repiping tools. At the house we lay down floor protection, set up a work zone in the yard or driveway, and keep the mess contained with drop cloths and a shop vac. Because we work this area regularly, we know the HOAs that require advance notice, the narrow driveways in the older sections, and the best ways to shut off water without flooding the crawlspace.

Round Rock's hard water shortens the life of tank heaters, and the freeze risk in outlying homes makes heat pump or hybrid units a common swap.
Clay soils expand and contract with moisture, shifting foundations and cracking underground supply lines in older Round Rock neighborhoods.
Homes built before the 1990s often have galvanized or polybutylene pipes that corrode or fail, requiring full repiping in tight attic spaces.
Tree roots from mature oaks and pecans in established blocks push into clay sewer lines, causing slow drains that need augering or hydro-jetting.
We tunnel under the slab or run new PEX lines through the attic, tying into existing fixtures without cutting into the floor. The old galvanized or polybutylene piping gets abandoned in place.
We run a new gas line or upgrade the electrical circuit, mount the unit on an exterior wall, and install a recirculation loop so hot water reaches the far bathroom quickly.
We locate the leak with electronic detection gear, cut a clean access hole through the concrete, repair the copper or PVC line, and backfill the opening for later patching.
Historic homes near Main Street with original cast-iron drains and galvanized supply lines. We work in tight crawlspaces and under pier-and-beam foundations, often replacing sections of pipe without disturbing the finished floors above.
A large master-planned community with newer two-story homes on slab foundations. We handle water heater replacements in attics and repipe runs through insulated chases, coordinating with the HOA for exterior work approvals.
Properties on well 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 Round Rock requires a permit for any water heater change, including tankless conversions. The homeowner or contractor pulls the permit before work starts, and the city inspects the gas or electrical connection afterward.
Major repiping or sewer line repairs need a permit from the city's building inspections department. The homeowner should confirm that the contractor pulls the permit and that the work meets the current plumbing code for the property's zone.

“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.”
