What Sets Shavano Park Plumbing Apart
Shavano Park incorporated as a general-law city on June 19, 1956. NW Military Highway (FM 1535), built in the 1950s to link Camp Bullis with San Antonio, runs through town, and the commercial areas sit along Loop 1604 and Lockhill Selma Road. Most homes use ZIP 78231, while parts of the city fall in 78230, 78249 and 78257.
- Two water providers. The City of Shavano Park runs its own water utility for Old Shavano Park and Shavano Estates, pumping from wells in the Edwards and Trinity aquifers. Bentley Manor, De Zavala Estates, Huntington, Shavano Creek, Willow Wood and the commercial areas get water and sewer from SAWS.
- Hard water from both. SAWS notes that the calcium carbonate in Edwards and Trinity aquifer water is naturally occurring, and it reports typical hardness of 15 to 20 grains per gallon for its own system.
- Large lots, long pipe runs. Estate-size homesites mean long service lines from the meter, long hot water runs to far bathrooms and irrigation systems that need working backflow protection.
- CPS Energy gas. The city notes that CPS Energy supplies electricity and natural gas throughout Shavano Park.
Plumbing Services for Shavano Park Homes
Water Heaters, Tankless Units and Faster Hot Water
In a large home, waiting a full minute for hot water at the far bathroom is a common complaint. We repair and replace tank water heaters, install tankless water heaters sized for high demand, and can talk through recirculation options so hot water arrives sooner. Current offers are on our specials page.
Drain and Sewer Service
The tall trees that give Shavano Park its character also send roots looking for water in drain lines. Our drain cleaning clears the clog, a camera inspection shows roots, breaks or sags, and our sewer line services fix the damaged section.
Leak Detection and Slab Leak Repair
On a big lot, a leak in the yard line or under the slab can run for weeks before anyone notices. The city’s water utility says its newer meters help rate payers spot possible leaks, and SAWS customers can watch their usage too. When the numbers look off, our leak detection service pinpoints the source, and we explain slab leak repair choices before any concrete is opened.
Water Softeners and Filtration
A water softener or filtration system cuts the scale that hard water leaves on glass, fixtures and heating elements. We test your water first, because city well water and SAWS water can differ.
Gas Lines for Kitchens, Pools and Fireplaces
Outdoor kitchens, pool heaters and gas fireplaces are common on larger properties. Our licensed plumbers install and repair gas lines and pressure-test new work.
Repiping and Pipe Repair
Homes in the original neighborhoods date back decades, and many have been added onto more than once. Our pipe replacement and repair service handles failed fittings, mixed pipe materials and planned repipes.
24/7 Emergency Plumbing in Shavano Park
For a burst pipe, a sewer backup or a water heater that lets go, our emergency plumbing service is available around the clock. Shut off the main valve and call (210) 888-8243.

Shavano Park Plumbing FAQs
Which parts of Shavano Park do you serve?
All of it, including Old Shavano Park, Shavano Estates, Bentley Manor, De Zavala Estates, Huntington, Shavano Creek, Willow Wood and the commercial areas. That covers ZIP 78231 and the parts of the city in 78230, 78249 and 78257.
Is my water from the City of Shavano Park or SAWS?
Old Shavano Park and Shavano Estates are on the city’s water utility, which pumps from Edwards and Trinity aquifer wells. The other neighborhoods and commercial areas are on SAWS. Your water bill shows which one serves you.
How can I tell if I have a hidden leak?
Watch for a higher water bill, a meter that moves when nothing is running, damp spots in the yard, or warm areas on the floor. We use leak detection equipment to find the source before recommending a repair.
Can a tankless water heater keep up with a large Shavano Park home?
Often, yes, if it is sized for your peak demand and your gas line can supply it. Some larger homes need two units or a recirculation setup. We look at your fixtures and gas service before recommending one.
Do I need a Shavano Park permit for plumbing work?
Shavano Park is its own city and handles its own building inspections, so work that requires a permit goes through the city rather than San Antonio. We confirm what your job needs before starting.
Do you offer emergency plumbing in Shavano Park?
Yes, 24/7, for burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups and water heater failures. Turn off your main water valve if water is flowing, then call (210) 888-8243.
