Common Plumbing Problems in Downtown New Braunfels
Downtown New Braunfels has unique plumbing challenges due to its historic buildings, clay soil, and river proximity. These factors lead to specific problems we see frequently.
Root intrusion in sewer lines
Clay sewer laterals common in older neighborhoods have joints that tree roots can penetrate.
Galvanized pipe corrosion
Many downtown homes still have galvanized steel supply lines.
Slab leaks
Shifting clay soil and aging pipes under slab foundations can cause leaks. These leaks waste water and can damage flooring.
Water heater failures
Hard water in New Braunfels causes sediment buildup in tanks, shortening their lifespan. Older units are especially prone to leaks and failures.

Reviews from Downtown New Braunfels Customers
Our water heater died on a Friday night. Comal Crest Plumbing came out the next morning and installed a new Rheem tank. They were professional, cleaned up, and even hauled away the old unit. We have hot water again, and the price was fair. Highly recommend for anyone in downtown.
Maria G.Sophienburg Hill
We had a stubborn clog in our kitchen drain that two other plumbers could not fix. Comal Crest used a camera and found root intrusion in the sewer line. They jetted it out and showed us the before-and-after video. Honest and thorough. Worth every penny.
David L.Main Plaza
Fast response when our toilet started leaking onto the floor. The plumber arrived within an hour, replaced the wax ring and flange, and checked for water damage. He also gave us tips to prevent future issues. Great service in a historic building.
