Raindrop Plumbing has been serving Schertz and Guadalupe County since 2019, and in that time we have built a straightforward reputation: show up on time, do the work right, and treat every home and business like it matters. We work with homeowners, landlords, and commercial property managers across the area, handling everything from a dripping faucet to a full repipe. The person who answers the phone is often the plumber at your door. That kind of direct, personal service is what keeps neighbors calling us back and passing our name along. Trusted by homeowners. Relied on by property managers. Ready for your pipes.
Plumbing a home right takes the right tools and a licensed hand, and we bring both to every job we take on. Whether you need a quick repair or a full installation, our team handles the complete range of residential and commercial plumbing work in Schertz and the surrounding communities.
Here is a quick look at what we do:
Each of these services is handled by licensed plumbers who know the local housing stock and the conditions that come with building and living in this part of Texas. Whether your property is residential or commercial, we come prepared.
A slow drain rarely fixes itself. We clear clogged sinks, toilets, showers, bathtubs, and main drains using drain snakes and hydro jetting, depending on what the blockage calls for. Hydro jetting is especially effective on stubborn buildup in older lines, and it leaves the pipe cleaner than a snake alone. If your drains are backing up or running slow, call and we will get the water running right.
Hidden leaks can do serious damage before you ever notice them. We locate pipe leaks, fixture leaks, and slab leaks using methods that do not require tearing up your home to find the source. In Schertz and the wider Guadalupe County area, expansive clay soils and caliche beneath foundations can cause slab movement over time, which puts stress on pipes running through and under the slab. Slab leak detection and repair is work we take seriously here because the local soil conditions make it a real concern. Reach out and we will get it diagnosed quickly.
No hot water is one of the most disruptive plumbing problems a household or business can face. We repair and replace both tank and tankless water heaters, and we handle same-day calls when the situation is urgent. If your unit is aging, running inconsistently, or has stopped working entirely, we will assess it honestly and walk you through the options before any work begins.
A running toilet or a dripping faucet wastes more water than most people realize, and it adds up on your bill. We repair and install toilets, kitchen and bathroom faucets, shower and bathtub fixtures, and other household plumbing fixtures. Whether you are replacing something that has worn out or upgrading to a new fixture, we handle the installation cleanly and correctly the first time.
Sewer backups and main line clogs are not problems to put off. We clear main sewer line clogs, repair sewer line damage, and address sewer backups before they cause bigger issues inside the home or on the property. We also handle water line repair and replacement when supply lines are damaged or deteriorating. Tree root intrusion is a common cause of sewer line problems in established neighborhoods, and it is something we see and address regularly in this area.
The hardest part of a plumbing problem is knowing when to call, and with aging pipes, the answer is usually sooner than later. Older homes in Schertz and Guadalupe County sometimes still have galvanized steel pipes that have corroded over decades, leading to low water pressure, discolored water, and frequent leaks. We replace galvanized pipe with modern PEX, which holds up well in this climate and improves flow throughout the home. We also handle burst pipe repair and whole-home repiping when the situation calls for a complete solution. We will get your water flowing again fast.
What sets our plumbers apart is straightforward: we answer when it matters most. Plumbing emergencies do not wait for business hours, and neither do we. We are available around the clock for burst pipes, major leaks, and no-hot-water calls, and we offer same-day scheduling for urgent situations that are not full emergencies but still cannot wait. When you call, you reach a real local person who knows the area and can get someone to your door fast. You schedule it. We fix it. Simple as that.
Businesses have different plumbing demands than homes, and downtime costs money. We work with office buildings, restaurants, retail spaces, and property management companies across Schertz and Guadalupe County, handling commercial drain cleaning, water heater installation and repair, fixture replacement, and leak repair for commercial properties. Restaurant kitchens in particular put heavy demands on grease traps and drain lines, and we are familiar with the maintenance those systems require. We are trusted by local homeowners and property managers for their plumbing, and we bring that same reliability to every commercial account we serve.
Booking a plumbing service call is simple, and understanding what it will cost should be just as simple. Before any work begins, we walk you through what we found, what needs to be done, and what it will cost. If something unexpected comes up once we are into the job, we tell you before we proceed, not after. There are no surprise line items at the end of the invoice. That approach to pricing is part of why we have built the kind of plumbing work neighbors pass along by word of mouth. Call us for a quote and you will know where you stand before any work starts.
We Stand Behind Our Work
We have been doing this work in Schertz since 2019, and every job we complete carries our name behind it. We send experienced plumbers who respect your home, clean up after themselves, and do not cut corners on the work. Licensed plumbers are on the job for every service call, which means the work is done to code and done to last.
If something is not right after we leave, we want to know about it. We are not satisfied until the job holds up the way it should. That is not a formal guarantee written in fine print. It is just how we operate. A plumbing repair that fails a week later is not a finished job in our view, and we will make it right.

Licensed plumbers perform the work on every call, whether it is a simple faucet swap or a whole-home repipe. We do not take shortcuts on materials or methods, and we do not approve work we would not stand behind on our own properties.

How do I know if my water heater needs to be replaced or just repaired?
Age is the first factor. Tank water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years, and tankless units last longer but still need service. If your unit is older and showing signs like inconsistent hot water, rumbling noises, or visible rust around the tank or connections, replacement is usually the better investment. We assess the unit when we arrive and walk you through the options before any work begins.
What causes drains to clog repeatedly even after clearing them?
A drain that keeps coming back is usually telling you the problem is deeper than the fixture. Grease buildup inside the line, root intrusion, a partial blockage further down the pipe, or a damaged pipe section can all cause recurring clogs. Snaking the fixture clears the immediate blockage, but hydro jetting and a line inspection find out what is actually driving the pattern.
How are hidden leaks found without tearing up walls or floors?
We use professional leak detection methods to locate the source before opening anything up. Pressure testing, acoustic detection, and thermal methods help us narrow down where the leak is coming from. Once we have a location, we make a targeted repair rather than a wide opening. A spike in your water bill, water stains on drywall, or unexplained moisture near a wall are all good reasons to call.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We respond to urgent plumbing calls the same day when our schedule allows, and we take emergency calls after hours and on weekends. When water is going where it should not, we move quickly.
How do tree roots damage a sewer line, and what do you do about it?
Roots are drawn to the moisture inside sewer lines and work their way into small cracks or loose joints, particularly in older clay and concrete pipes. Once inside, they grow and eventually cause slow drains, backups, and pipe failure. We clear the intrusion using rooter service or hydro jetting, then inspect the line to assess whether the pipe itself needs repair or section replacement. We work the line from the house to the city connection.
What are signs that a main sewer line is having a problem?
Multiple slow drains throughout the home at the same time is a common early sign. Gurgling sounds from toilets, sewage odors near floor drains, or a drain backing up when you run water elsewhere in the house all point to the main line rather than a single fixture. These are calls to make promptly, because a partial blockage can become a full backup quickly.
What is the difference between a tank and a tankless water heater?
A tank water heater stores a set volume of hot water and keeps it ready. A tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through, so it does not run out the way a tank can. Tankless units tend to last longer and use less energy, but the upfront cost is higher and the installation is more involved. We can walk you through which makes sense for your household size, usage patterns, and budget when you call.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We provide an estimate before any work begins and walk through the scope with you. If something unexpected comes up mid-job, we tell you before we proceed.
What causes low water pressure in a home?
Low pressure can come from several places: a failing pressure regulator, a partially closed shutoff valve, scale buildup inside pipes from hard water, a leak somewhere in the supply line, or a problem at the meter. Hard water is a particularly common cause in the Schertz area, where mineral deposits build up inside pipes and fixtures over time. We diagnose the source before recommending a fix so you are not paying for work that does not solve the problem.
Are you available for same-day or after-hours emergency plumbing calls?
Yes. We take emergency calls after hours and on weekends because plumbing problems do not hold until morning. Burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, and no-hot-water situations all get an urgent response. For same-day calls that are not full emergencies, we work to get out to you as quickly as our schedule allows. Call (830) 445-3954 and you will reach a real local person who can give you an honest time frame.
Work Performed by Licensed Plumbers
Every job is completed by licensed plumbers and meets local code requirements. That matters for your safety, your home's value, and any future inspection.
How are estimates and pricing handled before work begins?
We provide an estimate before any work starts and walk through the scope with you so there are no surprises at the end. If something unexpected comes up once we are into the job, we tell you before we proceed. Residential and commercial customers both get the same approach: here is the problem, here is what it takes to fix it, and here is the cost.
How is a slab leak located and repaired?
A slab leak is a pipe failure beneath the concrete foundation of the home. Warm spots on the floor, a water bill that keeps climbing without explanation, or moisture near the base of walls are common signs. We use detection methods to pinpoint the location without unnecessary opening of the slab, then repair or reroute the affected pipe. Catching a slab leak early is important in Central Texas, where soil movement puts ongoing stress on under-slab pipes.
When does a home need whole-house repiping?
Older homes in Guadalupe County were often built with galvanized steel pipe, which corrodes from the inside over time. Signs that repiping may be needed include discolored water, a noticeable drop in water pressure throughout the house, or frequent leaks at multiple locations. PEX and copper are both durable replacement options. We assess the pipe system and give you a clear picture of what is in the walls before recommending a full repipe.
