Plumbing for the people and places around here
Homeowners in town
You live inside the city limits, on city water and city sewer. That means a permit and an inspection apply to most plumbing work, and JK Ranch pulls the permit so it is done on the record and to code. The calls that come from in town are usually the everyday ones — a water heater that quit, a drain that is running slow, a faucet or toilet that needs replacing, plumbing tied into a kitchen or bath remodel, or a slab leak that showed up as a wet spot on the floor. None of it is glamorous, and all of it is the kind of work Jacob has been doing since he got out of high school. The estimate is free, the price is fixed before anything starts, and the work carries a two-year warranty on workmanship and on the parts JK Ranch supplies. When the inspection happens, the work is already done to pass it.

You are out in the county, on a well, often on a septic system, often on a pier-and-beam floor or an older slab. In the unincorporated parts of Lee, Milam, Burleson, Fayette and Washington counties there is usually no plumbing permit and no inspection at all — which is exactly why the plumber's state license matters more out here, not less. Nobody is coming to check the work, so the only real protection is hiring somebody who will do it right when nobody is watching. The common calls from out in the county are well pressure tanks, water softeners and filtration, whole-house repiping, leak detection, and water heaters. Jacob works on the pressure tank and the plumbing side of a well system, but he does not drill wells and he does not do septic tank work — if that is what you need, he will say so and point you to who does. Free estimate, fixed price, two-year warranty.

If you are buying or selling a house, a sewer camera inspection before closing is one of the cheapest ways to avoid a surprise that costs thousands. Starting at $125, Jacob runs a camera down the sewer line and shows you what is actually going on inside it. On an older house with a cast-iron or clay line, the camera can find roots that have grown through a joint, a section that has bellied and is holding waste, or a crack the seller did not know about. None of that shows up in a standard inspection, and none of it is cheap to fix after you own the place. Finding a bad line before closing means you can ask the seller to fix it, renegotiate, or walk — instead of finding out six months in when sewage backs up into the house. A hundred and twenty-five dollars to know what is under the slab is money well spent. The real number comes from the free on-site estimate.
Sewer camera inspectionBuilders and general contractors
If you are building, JK Ranch does new construction rough-in and top-out, remodel and addition plumbing, and gas line work — rough-in through trim-out, done to pass inspection the first time. Jacob works to a schedule and would rather be told early when a build slips than find out on the pour date. He is the only plumber, which means the schedule is real rather than padded and the same licensed plumber is on the job from start to finish — no rotating crew, no apprentice left unsupervised. It also means capacity is what one plumber's capacity is, so getting on the schedule early matters. JK Ranch pulls the plumbing permit wherever one is required. Inside city limits the city building department handles plan review and inspection; out in the county there is often no permit at all, and the work still has to be done to code. If you have a build coming up, call and talk through the slab pour date, the dry-in date, and when trim-out is expected.
Plumbing for builders and GCsBusinesses and commercial property
If you run a restaurant, a shop, an office, or a small commercial building, a plumbing problem is not just an inconvenience — it is a shutdown. JK Ranch handles grease-line and fixture work, water heaters, gas lines, and the scheduled maintenance that keeps a business from having to close over something that could have been caught early. A licensed plumber is on every job, and the permit is kept current so the business stays up to code. The common calls are a water heater that quit during the lunch rush, a grease line that is backed up, a gas line that needs running to a new piece of equipment, and fixtures that have seen better days. Jacob also does preventative maintenance and plumbing inspections — a walk-through that flags the small things before they turn into a closing-the-doors kind of problem. The estimate is free, the price is fixed before work starts, and the work carries a two-year warranty. Call and talk through what the building needs.
Commercial plumbingLandlords and property managers
If you manage rentals, you need one number to call and an honest answer about whether something should be repaired or replaced. JK Ranch does work between tenants — fixture swaps, water heater replacements, repiping, drain cleaning, leak repair — and gives you a straight read on whether a unit has another year in it or is throwing good money after bad. No rotating crew and no guessing. The same plumber shows up every time, the license is on the job, and the price is fixed before the work starts. Between-tenant work can be scheduled, which keeps it off the emergency list and off the after-hours fee. When a tenant calls at an odd hour about a real emergency — a burst line, a sewer backing up — Jacob will talk it through and come out, with the $75 after-hours fee stated up front. For a property manager who needs a certificate of insurance or an additional insured named on a policy, that is no problem — just ask. Free estimates on any job.

Out on acreage, the water system has to hold up to distance and weather, and the repairs tend to be bigger and more spread out. Long runs of pipe, outbuildings, freeze damage, pressure problems, and gas lines run to shops and barns — that is the work that comes from a ranch. Jacob handles the plumbing side of a rural water system, including well pressure tanks, water softeners and filtration, and gas line installation and repair. He does not drill wells, but he works on everything past the wellhead that moves water to the house and the outbuildings. Freeze damage is a big one out here — a line that was not drained right or a hydrant that let go in a hard freeze — and the fix is usually replacing the failed section and making sure it is set up to survive the next one. Pressure problems on a long run often come down to the tank, the switch, or the pipe size, and Jacob will tell you which one it is. Free estimate, fixed price, two-year warranty.
