Common Issues

6 Plumbing Problems San Antonio Homes Face

San Antonio's hard water and shifting soil put extra strain on home plumbing systems year-round.

Slow or Clogged Drains

Hair, grease, and mineral buildup from hard water narrow pipes over time, causing slow drainage or backups in showers and kitchen sinks.

Water Heater Failing Early

Mineral-rich water from the Edwards Aquifer coats heating elements, cutting efficiency and shortening tank life.

Hidden and Slab Leaks

Shifting soil and aging galvanized pipe are common causes of hidden leaks that show up as a high water bill or a damp spot in the yard.

Low Water Pressure

Mineral scale buildup inside older pipes gradually restricts flow, especially in homes built before the 2000s.

Hard Water Damage to Fixtures and Appliances

San Antonio's water hardness leaves spots on dishes, strips soap lather, and wears out washing machines and dishwashers faster than normal.

Aging or Failing Pipes

Homes with original galvanized or polybutylene plumbing are more prone to pinhole leaks and pressure loss as the material breaks down.

San Antonio Water Quality

San Antonio Has Some of the Hardest Water in Texas.

The Edwards Aquifer delivers calcium and magnesium-rich water that slowly destroys pipes, fixtures, and appliances. Here's how SA compares to other major Texas cities.
Water Hardness by Texas City
Measured in mg/L (milligrams per liter of CaCO₃)
San Antonio ~400 mg/L
Dallas ~200 mg/L
Austin ~180 mg/L
Houston ~80 mg/L

What Hard Water Does to Your Home

San Antonio’s water comes primarily from the Edwards Aquifer, one of the most productive artesian aquifers in the world — and one of the most mineral-rich. That mineral content (primarily calcium carbonate) is what makes our water so hard. At ~400 mg/L, San Antonio is classified as “very hard” — more than 5x harder than Houston.

Scale Buildup in Pipes: Calcium deposits narrow your pipes over time, reducing water pressure and eventually causing blockages and pinhole leaks.

Water Heater Damage: Scale accumulates on heating elements and the tank floor, reducing efficiency by up to 30% and shortening equipment life by 2–5 years.

Soap Efficiency & Skin: Hard water prevents soap from lathering properly, leaves mineral spots on dishes, and strips moisture from skin and hair.

Appliance Life: Dishwashers, washing machines, and ice makers wear out faster in hard water homes. A water softener can extend appliance life by years.

"So thankful for Stultz Plumbing. I had a plumbing issue on a Saturday that was an emergency and they were there two hours later. They assessed the situation and provided ongoing communication throughout the repair. Stultz Plumbing is my new go to for everything plumbing related."

"Stultz Plumbing is simply the very best by far. I've never had a plumber show up on time, give me an honest assessment, and fix it right the first time. These guys do all of that."

"Jacob provided excellent service! He showed up on time, explained everything clearly, and did a fantastic job. The repair was completed quickly and correctly and he even helped us locate and purchase the parts we had been unable to find. We couldn't be happier with the job he did for us."

"I have to commend Zachary. He was very pleasant and thorough in his job. It was also really nice to deal with the same person for the entire job. That is not always the case when dealing with repair companies."

"I'm firing my previous plumbers immediately. Been with them over 20 years but they just keep dropping the quality. I'm happy I found Stultz."
