Converse Plumbing Company handles residential and commercial plumbing work across Converse and the surrounding Bexar County area, any hour of the day, any day of the week, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Galvanized, copper and PEX pipes each fail in their own way, and knowing which material is running through a property shapes how the job gets done. When you call, the price is confirmed before anything is scheduled, and you get straight answers about your pipes and fixtures before a visit is booked. Call this morning. Get a straight answer about the pipes. That is how we work.
One call and the repair is scoped.
For residential and commercial plumbing work alike, the everyday jobs cover a wide range: drain cleaning and clog removal, leak detection and repair, water heater repair and replacement, toilet and faucet installation, sewer and main line service, garbage disposals, water pressure issues, shutoff valve repair, and whole-home repiping. Whether the property is a single-family home, a rental unit, a retail space, or a multi-unit building, the work gets handled the same way.
We also cover slab leak detection, gas line repair and installation, backflow preventer installation, and hydro jetting for stubborn line buildup. Drain and pipe work carried out to code is the standard on every job, from a simple fixture swap to a full line replacement.
Pick up the phone and we'll get moving.
Not every plumber works the same way, and when a pipe bursts at midnight or a main sewer line backs up on a Sunday, what matters is getting someone on the line who can scope the problem and move quickly. We take calls at any hour, any day, including holidays. Burst pipe repair, major water line leaks, a complete loss of hot water, sewer backups, and flooding situations all qualify for immediate attention.
When you call, you describe what is happening and hear what the next step involves. There are no layers to work through before someone who knows plumbing picks up. Prompt response, even for last-minute plumbing calls, is part of how this works. Call in the morning. Describe the leak. Hear what the fix involves.
One call, and the visit is booked.
Whether this is your first plumbing repair or your tenth, a slow or stopped drain is one of the most common reasons people call. Kitchen drains that back up with grease and food buildup, bathroom drains clogged with hair and soap, floor drains in laundry rooms or garages, and main drain blockages that affect the whole house are all jobs we handle regularly. Drain snake service clears most clogs. For lines with heavier buildup or recurring problems, hydro jetting uses pressurized water to scour the inside of the pipe and remove what a snake leaves behind.
Leak detection follows a similar approach: find the source before anything gets replaced. Hidden leaks inside walls, slab leak detection and repair for lines running beneath a concrete foundation, water line leaks at the supply side, and pipe leaks at joints or fittings are all part of the work. A visit for leak detection starts with identifying exactly where the water is coming from, using pressure testing and electronic detection methods to locate the problem without unnecessary demolition. Call now and we'll get the water back where it belongs.
From a single shutoff valve to a whole-home repipe, the water goes off first, and on a water heater job that means diagnosing the unit before recommending a path forward. A water heater that is not producing hot water, producing it inconsistently, or leaking from the tank or connections may need a repair or a full replacement depending on the age and condition of the unit. We handle both tank and tankless water heater repair and installation.
Tankless water heater installation involves sizing the unit correctly for the household's demand, running the appropriate water and gas lines, and setting the unit up to deliver consistent temperature at the fixtures. Tank water heater replacement covers sizing, removal of the old unit, and connection of the new one. The rate is confirmed on the call before anything is scheduled, so there is nothing to figure out after the fact. Plumbing visits scheduled without the runaround is how the process works here. One call and the repair is scoped.
A running toilet wastes water steadily and the fix is usually a worn flapper, a faulty fill valve, or a damaged flush mechanism. We handle toilet repair, toilet replacement, toilet clog removal, and overflow situations. If the toilet needs to come out entirely, whether for a wax ring replacement or a full swap to a new unit, that is part of the work too.
Faucet repair covers dripping kitchen faucets, bathroom faucet replacements, shower faucet repair, and bathtub faucet work. Installation covers new kitchen faucets, bathroom vanity faucets, and shower valves. Beyond faucets, fixture installation includes utility sinks, laundry room plumbing connections, dishwasher hookups, and refrigerator and ice maker water lines. Each of these jobs involves shutting off the supply, making the connection correctly, and confirming there are no leaks before the visit ends.
Garbage disposal repair, replacement, and new installation round out this category. A disposal that hums but will not spin, one that leaks from the bottom, or one that simply stops responding are all problems with straightforward fixes once the unit is assessed. Pick up the phone and we'll get moving.
Sewer line repair and replacement covers everything from a localized crack or offset joint to a full line replacement when the pipe has deteriorated beyond clearing. Sewer line cleaning, main line clogs, sewer backup repair, and trenchless sewer repair options are all available depending on what the line inspection turns up. The main water line running from the city connection to the house can develop leaks, lose pressure, or fail entirely, and we handle repair and full replacement of that line as well.
Water pressure problems often trace back to a failing pressure reducing valve, a partially closed shutoff valve, or a corroded section of pipe. We repair and replace shutoff valves, pressure reducing valves, and hose bibs. Low water pressure repair starts with finding where the restriction or loss is occurring before any part is swapped out.
Whole-home repiping addresses properties where the existing pipe material has reached the end of its service life. Galvanized pipe replacement is common in older housing stock. Copper pipe repair handles cracked or corroded sections. PEX repiping is a practical option for full replacements given its flexibility and resistance to corrosion. Gas line repair and installation covers the line itself, from the meter to the appliance connection, not the appliance. Backflow preventer installation and repair protects the water supply from contamination at points where cross-connection is a risk. Call now and we'll get the water back where it belongs.
Converse sits in the northeastern part of Bexar County, where clay-heavy soils, hard water, periodic heavy rainfall, and a mix of housing ages all shape what plumbing problems come up most often. The three services below address the conditions that come with this area specifically.
Heavy rainfall events hit Bexar County with enough force to push water into low-lying areas and below-grade spaces. A sump pump installation protects against water intrusion by collecting water at the lowest point of a space and moving it out before it causes damage. We handle new sump pump installation, replacement of failed units, and repair of pumps that are running but not keeping up. If a property has a sump pit already, we assess the existing setup and recommend the right pump for the drainage volume the space sees.
Established neighborhoods in Converse have mature tree canopies, and those root systems follow moisture directly into sewer lines, especially in clay-heavy soil where pipes shift and joints open over time. Root intrusion starts small, a hairline crack or a loose joint, and builds into a full blockage as roots expand inside the pipe. We clear root intrusion mechanically, assess the condition of the affected line, and repair or replace the section where the entry point is. Catching root intrusion early prevents the more significant work of a full line replacement later.
Hard water is consistent across much of Bexar County. Over time, mineral scale builds up inside pipes, water heaters, and fixtures, reducing flow and shortening the life of equipment. A whole-home water softener installation addresses the problem at the point of entry, treating the water before it reaches any fixture or appliance. We also handle whole-house water filter installation for properties where sediment or taste is the primary concern. The right system depends on the water quality at the address and the size of the household, and we scope that on the call.
Plumbing repair costs vary depending on what the job involves, and the only accurate price is one given after the problem is described. When you call, you hear what the work covers and what the rate is before anything is scheduled. That applies to drain cleaning, water heater replacement, sewer line repair, repiping, slab leak repair, and every other job on the list. There is no scheduling first and pricing later.
For how-much questions, the answer is always the same: call and describe the situation, and you get a number tied to your specific job rather than a range that does not help you plan. Call in the morning. Describe the leak. Hear what the fix involves.
One call, and the visit is booked.

We handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing work in Converse and across Bexar County. That includes drain cleaning, leak detection and repair, water heater repair and replacement, toilet and faucet and fixture work, sewer and main line service, garbage disposals, shutoff valve repair, repiping, and emergency plumbing.

We take calls any hour of the day or night, every day of the week, including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. There are no closed hours and no separate emergency line for after-hours calls. The same number that books a scheduled service visit is the one that answers at midnight on a holiday weekend.
Call (726) 200-5632 and describe the problem, and we will scope it from there.
The price is confirmed on the call before anything is scheduled. When you describe the problem, we walk through what the work involves and give you a rate tied to that specific job. Nothing is booked until the price is agreed, so there is no scheduling first and pricing later. If the scope changes once the pipe is opened or the line is inspected, that gets discussed before anything additional is done.
Call (726) 200-5632 and describe what you are seeing.
The person who picks up will ask a few questions about where the problem is presenting, how long it has been going on, and what you have noticed. From that, we scope the job and give you a price on the phone. Once the price is agreed, the visit is booked.
Older homes in Converse and surrounding Bexar County neighborhoods frequently have galvanized pipe systems that have been in service for decades. Galvanized, copper, and PEX pipes each fail in their own way, and the pipe material shapes how the job gets approached. We handle pipe repair, partial replacement, and full repiping for older homes where the existing lines have narrowed with rust or mineral buildup. Call and describe the situation and we will explain what the assessment involves.
We cover Converse and the surrounding communities throughout Bexar County and the wider region. That includes Kirby, Universal City, Schertz, Live Oak, Selma, Windcrest, Cibolo, and the northeast San Antonio corridor. If you are not sure whether your address falls within the service area, the fastest way to find out is to call and ask. Coverage is confirmed when you reach us.
Coverage and any applicable travel considerations are confirmed on the call before anything is scheduled. When you call, give us your address and we will let you know what the visit covers and what the rate is. Nothing moves forward until both of those are settled.
Property managers and landlords can call, describe the unit and the problem, get a price, and coordinate the visit without being on-site themselves. We work with rental properties across Converse and Bexar County, from single-family rentals to multi-unit buildings. Commercial drain cleaning, pipe repair, water heater replacement, and fixture work across rental portfolios all fall within what we handle.
Call (726) 200-5632 to get the job scoped and priced.
Deposit requirements depend on the scope of the job and are discussed on the call when the price is confirmed. For standard repair and service visits, payment typically follows the work. For larger projects like a full repipe or a water heater installation, any upfront payment expectations are explained before anything is scheduled. You will know what is expected before you commit to the visit.
The most useful things to have ready are a description of the problem, how long it has been happening, and where in the property it is presenting. For a water heater call, knowing the unit type and approximate age helps. For a drain or sewer issue, noting whether it is isolated to one fixture or affecting multiple drains tells us a great deal before we arrive. The more detail you can give on the call, the more accurate the scope and price will be.
If you will not be on-site for the visit, let us know when you book. We will confirm what access arrangements are needed so the work can proceed without delay. For rental units, a property manager or tenant can be present in place of the owner. The scope and price are always settled before the visit, so the person on-site knows what the work involves.
Converse Plumbing Company takes calls any hour, any day, for residential and commercial plumbing work throughout Converse and Bexar County. The price is confirmed on the call before anything is scheduled, and the work is scoped before a visit is booked. One call. One plumber. One price, agreed first.

| Plumbing Service | What's Included | When to Call | Worth Knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slab Leak Detection & Repair |
| Homes with warm spots on the floor, damp carpet, or rising water bills | Clay soils in Bexar County shift with seasonal rain, which puts ongoing stress on under-slab lines. |
| Water Heater Repair & ReplacementMost Popular |
| Households or businesses with no hot water, inconsistent temperature, or an aging unit | Hard water from the Edwards Aquifer accelerates sediment buildup inside tank units, shortening their useful life. |
| Tree-Root Sewer Line Service |
| Homes near mature trees with recurring slow drains or backups that clear and return | Clay soils here open pipe joints over time, giving roots a path in that sandier ground would not. |
| Sewer & Main Line Service |
| Properties with sewage odor, recurring backups, or slow drains across multiple fixtures | Mature tree canopies in established Converse neighborhoods make root intrusion into sewer lines a common finding. |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation |
| Homeowners replacing worn fixtures or upgrading a kitchen or bathroom | Installation is fitted to the existing supply and drain configuration, not forced into a rough-in that does not match. |
| Emergency Plumbing |
| Any situation where water damage is active or a fixture cannot be isolated at the shutoff | Calls are answered at any hour, any day. The scope and the price are worked out on the phone before a visit is arranged. |
| Garbage Disposal Service |
| Kitchens with a failed, noisy, or leaking disposal unit | A disposal that hums but does not spin is often jammed rather than failed, which is a quick fix on the visit. |
| Water Softener Installation |
| Households dealing with scale on fixtures, inside pipes, or inside water heaters | The Edwards Aquifer supplies hard water across this region, and mineral buildup affects pipes, fixtures, and water heater efficiency over time. |
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair |
| Properties with noticeably low or inconsistent water pressure | Galvanized pipe narrows from the inside as it corrodes, which is a common pressure cause in older Converse homes. |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal |
| Homeowners or tenants with slow or fully clogged drain | A clog affecting multiple fixtures at once usually points to the main line, not an individual drain. |
| Sump Pump Installation |
| Low-lying properties or structures that take on water during heavy storm events | Bexar County clay soils drain slowly, so even moderate rainfall can push water into below-grade spaces faster than it escapes. |
| Leak Detection & Repair |
| Properties with unexplained water bills or visible water damage | Hidden leaks behind drywall or under a slab are located before any surface is opened. |
| Toilet Repair & Installation |
| Homeowners dealing with a running, leaking, or non-flushing toilet | A running toilet can waste a significant volume of water before the problem becomes obvious on a bill. |
| Whole-Home Repiping |
| Older homes with galvanized pipe, recurring leaks, or persistent low pressure across multiple fixtures | A repipe is scoped on the call so you know what the work involves and what stays in place before anything is scheduled. |
| Well Pump Service |
| Properties on a private well with no water, low pressure, or cycling pump issues | A pressure tank that has lost its charge will cause the pump to cycle on and off rapidly, which is diagnosable on the visit. |
