Bathtub Installation and Leak Repair Services
Your bathtub is one of the most noticeable and essential fixtures in your bathroom. But because the plumbing and drain lines are often hidden behind the walls or inside the tub shell, it is often difficult to spot a leak.
Your bathtub can leak from the drain seal, the faucet connections, or a crack in the tub itself. In addition, the water lines leading to the tub may become corroded or damaged and begin to leak.
Regardless of the type of leak you’re facing, we can help detect the source and find the correct solution for you. Whether it’s a replacement of the drain flange, repair of the drain lines, or a full bathtub installation, our plumbers are here to get the job done right.

Signs To Look For
Why is my bathtub faucet leaking?
A leaky faucet is one of the most common bathtub plumbing issues. And one that is easily visible. You can see and hear the constant drip. And there are often water stains in your tub where the drip hits the surface.
Likely, the rubber washers inside your faucet are dry and cracked. It’s an easy DIY fix. Just a quick stop at your local hardware store can provide you with the parts needed for repair. However, if DIY projects are not for you, our professional plumbers can take care of this in a snap.
In regard to plumbing, even a small leak is a problem. Leaky faucets will lead to higher utility bills and tub corrosion.
If new washers, o-rings, or cartridges don’t do the trick, we can replace your leaky faucet. You’ll avoid a more expensive repair from a long-term leak.
How do I know if my tub drain is leaking?
Tub drain leaks are another common bathtub problem. If you see pooling water or warping of the flooring around the outside of your tub, you may have a tub drain leak.
A leaking tub drain is often caused by a faulty seal around the drain. You can remove the drain and apply plumber’s putty to the area where the drain sits to ensure a good seal.
If this doesn’t solve the problem, your drain lines may have a crack and need to be replaced.
Do I need a plumber for a leaking overflow pipe?
A leaking overflow pipe can cause extensive damage. Washers can dry up and crack with age or lack of moisture. Because the overflow pipe is at the back of the bathtub, closed off behind the walls, replacing the washers can be tricky. You need the expertise of a plumber to get the job done right!
Unseen water rot caused by leaking pipes can result in structural damage to your home and weaken beams and ceilings. It’s always advisable to repair a leak when it’s small.
Are bathtub cracks a problem?
Bathtubs will crack and chip with age. Even a hairline crack needs to be investigated for a possible leak. Unfortunately, cracks and chips will eventually begin to rust and require repair or a tub replacement.
The average lifespan of a tub is around 10-30 years depending on what it’s made of. If your tub is outdated and showing signs of wear, it may be time to replace your old tub. Or perhaps you’re just ready to modernize your bathroom with a fixture remodel. Updating your bathroom fixtures will increase your home’s value.
Bathroom Plumbing Problems & Repairs
Additions and Remodels
What should I do for a clogged bathtub drain?
You’ve pulled the bathtub stopper and the water just sits there. Hair, soap scum, and other debris build-up over time and clog your drain. If using a drain cleaning tool or plunging doesn’t do the trick, our experienced plumbers can snake your drain and remove the clogging debris.
We don’t recommend general over-the-counter drain cleaners since they can be corrosive or warp pipes.
Can hard water damage my plumbing pipes?
Texas water is hard water. And hard water can be a problem for your plumbing. If you’re installing new fixtures and plumbing lines, resolving your hard water issues will give your new fixtures a longer life.
Calcium and magnesium can eat away at your metal pipes and fixtures or wear out the plastic insides of your new fixtures.
Installing a water softener is an effective way to alleviate your hard water problems. We’ll be happy to come out and discuss water softener options with you.
How do I get rid of mold around my tub?
Mold is caused by excess moisture and a lack of ventilation. Mold around your tub is a cause for concern. If mold is able to grow, it has access to moisture. You’ll want to make sure the moisture isn’t coming from a plumbing leak.
Toxic mold can cause health problems. It will cause or worsen respiratory illness, headaches, allergic reactions, lethargy, and long-term health issues. Protect your family and get any mold growth checked out today.
To alleviate mold, clean your bathtub with mold-killing products like bleach, vinegar, or hydrogen peroxide. Remember not to mix products that can cause toxic reactions. Always open windows and doors for fresh air and to allow proper ventilation after cleaning.
Finally, if mold is persistent around the caulked edge of the tub, you can remove and replace the old caulking. Carefully check for additional signs of mold since it can hide behind your tile and walls causing more extensive damage. If you think the mold growth is extensive, you may want to call in the mold remediation professionals.
