What our pipe repair service includes
Every pipe repair job covers the full scope from diagnosis to testing. Here is what you get as standard, and what we quote separately if the job calls for it.
Work order
Pipe Repair- Full leak diagnosis: We use leak detection equipment and a sewer camera where needed to pinpoint the failure. You get a clear explanation of what failed, where it is, and why it happened before we quote anything.
- Section repair or replacement: We cut out the failed section and install new copper pipe, PEX tubing, or PVC pipe to match your existing system. Fittings, solder, and Teflon tape are included in the quoted price.
- Pressure testing: After the repair, we restore full household pressure and watch the joint for at least 15 minutes. If it weeps, we redo it before we leave. You never pay for a repair that did not hold.
- Access and cleanup: If we have to open drywall or dig, we keep the opening as small as possible and leave the area clean. We do not patch drywall or pour concrete back, and we tell you that up front.
- Written summary: You get a written record of what failed, what we replaced, and the material used. That documentation matters for insurance claims and for the next plumber who works on your system.

What pipe repair New Braunfels TX really involves
A pipe repair done right the first time costs less than the damage from one done wrong. We find the failure, fix it to code, and test it before we leave. That is the whole job.
Pipe repair New Braunfels TX is the trade of locating a failed section of water or drain line and restoring it to full pressure and flow. That can mean cutting out a corroded stretch of copper pipe and soldering in a new piece, crimping fresh PEX tubing into an existing run, or patching a cracked PVC pipe with a coupling and primer. The job starts with finding the failure, not guessing at it.
Here in Comal County, we see the same handful of problems over and over. The caliche-heavy soil shifts with every wet and dry cycle, stressing buried lines until they crack. Older homes around Downtown and Gruene still run original galvanized or thin-wall copper that corrodes from the inside out. When you need a pipe fix New Braunfels TX, the fix has to match the material and the soil, or it fails again.
- What it is
- Restoring a failed water or drain line to full pressure and flow.
- When it helps
- Leaks, bursts, low pressure, or a water bill that jumped.
- What you get
- A tested repair, a written summary, and a clean workspace.
How our pipe repair process works
Every job follows the same five steps. You will know what is happening and what it costs before we make a single cut.
Tools and methods we use
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
Acoustic listening gear and thermal imaging find hidden leaks behind walls and under slabs. This is what keeps us from tearing out your floor to find a pinhole.
A clean cut and a properly soldered joint are the difference between a repair that holds and one that weeps. We use both on every copper repair.
Crimps PEX tubing connections to spec. PEX is flexible, freeze-resistant, and a good fit for reroutes and slab leak repairs in Texas homes.
Blasts roots, grease, and scale out of drain and sewer lines with high-pressure water. We use it before repairing a cracked pipe so the line starts clean.
When to call for pipe repair

How pipe repair runs in New Braunfels
New Braunfels sits on some of the most active soil in Central Texas. The clay and caliche under Comal County expands when it is wet and shrinks when it dries, and that cycle flexes buried water and sewer lines until they crack.
Downtown New Braunfels
Older building stock with original galvanized and copper pipe. Corrosion and pinhole leaks are common, and access is often tight in historic structures.
Gruene
Mix of historic homes and newer builds. We see slab leaks and root intrusion from mature trees planted close to sewer lines.
Veramendi
Newer construction running PEX tubing. Failures here tend to be at fittings and manifolds rather than in the pipe itself.

PhotoSlab leak rerouted in Veramendi
Before: Two other plumbers quoted jackhammering the slab to reach the leak. The homeowner wanted a second opinion before tearing up the floor.
After: We ran thermal imaging and confirmed a hot water slab leak under the kitchen. Instead of breaking concrete, we rerouted the line through the attic with new PEX tubing. The repair was done in one day, and the water bill dropped back to normal the following month.
Burst copper pipe fixed in Gruene
Before: A hard freeze burst a copper supply line in the exterior wall of a Gruene home. Water was running down the inside of the wall and pooling behind the baseboard. The homeowner shut off the main and called us at 6 a.m.
After: We opened the wall at the lowest point, cut out the burst section, and soldered in new copper pipe. The repair was pressure-tested for 20 minutes before we closed the wall. Total time from arrival to water-on was about three hours.
Root intrusion cleared in Creekside
Before: A Creekside homeowner had slow drains in two bathrooms and a sewer smell in the laundry room. A plunger and a store-bought drain snake did nothing. The problem had been building for months.
After: We ran a sewer camera and found roots growing through a joint in the main sewer line about 30 feet out. We cut the roots with a hydro jetting machine, then repaired the cracked pipe section. Drains ran clear immediately, and the smell was gone.
Pipe problems we solve in New Braunfels
Most pipe failures fall into a handful of categories.
Pinhole leaks in aging copper pipe
A pinhole can spray a fine mist inside a wall for weeks before you notice.
Burst pipe from a hard freeze
A burst supply line dumps hundreds of gallons fast. In a slab home, that water has nowhere to go but into your flooring and foundation.
Slab leaks under the foundation
A slab leak drives up your water bill and can undermine the foundation over time. It is one of the most expensive pipe problems to ignore.
Root intrusion in sewer lines
Tree roots find the smallest crack in a sewer pipe and grow into it.
Low water pressure from corroded pipe
Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside, narrowing the flow until every faucet in the house runs weak. It gets worse every year.
Why homeowners call us for pipe repair
A failed pipe is not a wait-and-see problem. Water finds drywall, flooring, and foundation fast.
Stop the damage fast
A pinhole leak can dump 200 gallons a day into your walls.
Repairs that match the material
We carry copper pipe, PEX tubing, CPVC pipe, and the fittings to match what is already in your walls.

What New Braunfels homeowners say
Had a slab leak under the kitchen and two other plumbers wanted to jackhammer the floor. Comal Crest ran a camera and found the actual break, then rerouted the line through the attic. Saved me thousands and the floor is untouched. Took them one day.
Woke up to water spraying in the laundry room. Called at 7 a.m. and had a tech out by 10. He cut out the burst section of copper, soldered in a new piece, and tested it twice before leaving. Fair price, no upselling, cleaned up after himself.
We manage several older buildings downtown with original pipe. Comal Crest has handled three repairs for us this year, all copper, all done right. They work around our tenants and always leave a written summary of what they found. Solid outfit.
