Plumbing questions, answered for Mart

Most Mart homes were built around 1959, and 76% predate 1980 — so a lot of them still run their original supply pipe and water heaters, well past service life. We check pipe condition, water-heater age, and shut-off valves on every visit.

The call we get most in Mart is pitted galvanized pipe on older homes. Local housing is mainly suburban houses with their own service lateral and water heater, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, so high water pressure straining aging fittings turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.

Often just the failed section. If the surrounding pipe is still sound and the leak is isolated, a spot repair on your Mart line is far cheaper than a full repipe. Our McLennan County plumbers will tell you honestly when a Mart repair beats a repipe — and never push a whole-home repipe you don't need. When the pipe is old galvanized steel throughout, we'll walk you through why repiping pays off long term.

Yes. Alongside residential work in Mart, we install and service commercial plumbing for McLennan County restaurants, storefronts, warehouses, and HOAs — grease-line jetting, backflow testing, commercial water heaters, and fixture banks — with the same flat-rate quotes and rapid emergency dispatch across Mart.

Our Mart trucks carry parts for Rheem, Bradford White, A.O. Smith, Navien, Rinnai, and Bosch, plus most legacy tank and tankless models — so Mart repairs are usually one-and-done. Across McLennan County we're authorized Rheem and Navien dealers for both tank and tankless installs.

A standard tank water heater swap in Mart is typically completed in 2–4 hours in one visit, including hauling away the old unit. Tankless conversions across McLennan County take longer because of gas and venting upgrades; your Mart plumber gives an accurate time window when we quote.

First check the basics: on a gas unit, see whether the pilot or burner is lit; on an electric unit, check the breaker and the reset button on the thermostat. If you see water pooling around the tank or smell gas, shut off the water and gas supply and call our Mart line at (213) 579-0947 right away — crews across Mart carry replacement elements, thermostats, gas valves, and full water heaters for a same-visit fix.

For a burst pipe, shut off your main water valve first, then call us — but repairs on gas water heaters, sewer lines, and pressurized supply lines are best left to a licensed plumber.
