What Kings Plumbing Offers
At Kings Plumbing, we offer a full range of professional plumbing services designed for the unique needs of San Antonio homeowners and businesses. Here’s what we provide, and when you might need each service:
Bathroom Plumbing & Remodeling
From complete redesigns to fixture updates, we handle demolition, plumbing reroutes, waterproofing, and installation of tubs, showers, sinks, and toilets. Whether you’re upgrading for comfort, water efficiency, or fixing long-standing moisture issues, our remodeling experts can help you transform your bathroom.
Commercial Plumbing Services
We work with restaurants, office buildings, retail shops, and multi-unit properties to deliver high-capacity, code-compliant plumbing solutions. Our commercial services include grease trap maintenance, backflow prevention, gas line installs, and fast-response repairs for high-traffic systems.
Drain Cleaning
Using powerful tools and camera inspections, we clear stubborn blockages in sinks, tubs, toilets, and main drain lines. If you’re dealing with slow drainage, unpleasant smells, or frequent backups, we’ll help restore proper flow, and offer tips to prevent future issues.
Emergency Plumbing
When disaster strikes, whether it’s a burst pipe, sewer backup, or gas line issue, we’re available 24/7 to respond quickly and minimize damage. Our team provides fast temporary relief and follows up with lasting repairs you can trust.
Gas Line Repair & Installation
Safe and up to code, our gas line services cover appliance hook-ups, line replacements, and leak repairs. Call us when adding a gas stove, switching water heater types, or if you notice a sulfur smell near your gas appliances or meter.
Leak Detection
Hidden leaks in walls, slabs, or underground can cause huge damage if ignored. We use advanced equipment like infrared and acoustic sensors to pinpoint the source without tearing into your home. If you see signs like high water bills, mold, or unexplained wet spots, we can help.
Repiping
If your plumbing is decades old, frequently leaks, or delivers rusty water, it may be time to repipe. We replace outdated galvanized or corroded piping with durable materials like PEX or copper to improve flow, safety, and water quality.
Service Agreement
Our maintenance plans are perfect for proactive homeowners and property managers. We offer scheduled inspections, priority scheduling, and preventative maintenance to help you avoid emergencies and costly repairs down the line.
Sewer Repair & Replacement
Whether your sewer line is blocked, cracked, or invaded by tree roots, we offer both traditional and trenchless repair methods. If multiple drains are backing up or you detect foul odors in the yard, it’s time to schedule a sewer inspection.
Slab Leak Repair
San Antonio’s shifting soil often leads to slab leaks beneath your home’s foundation. We specialize in detecting and repairing these leaks with minimal disruption to your flooring or concrete. Look out for warm spots on the floor, rising water bills, or foundation cracks.
Tankless Water Heater Installation
Enjoy hot water on demand while saving energy with a professionally installed tankless unit. We help size your system correctly, install it safely, and guide you through the maintenance needed to keep it running efficiently, especially in hard water areas.
Water Filtration Installation
Improve the taste, smell, and safety of your home’s water with whole-house or point-of-use filtration. We install and maintain systems that remove sediment, chlorine, iron, and more, great for protecting your plumbing and appliances from mineral damage.
Water Heater Installation & Repair
Whether your water heater is leaking, making strange noises, or failing to heat water consistently, we’ll inspect and repair it quickly. From sediment flushing to thermostat replacement, we’ll get your hot water running again, safely and reliably.
Water Line Replacement
Aging or damaged water lines can lead to low pressure, water discoloration, or property damage. We replace old or leaking lines with high-quality materials that meet code and withstand local soil and weather conditions.
Water Softener Installation
San Antonio is known for hard water, which causes buildup and shortens the lifespan of appliances. We install both salt-based and salt-free water softeners to protect your plumbing and make everyday tasks, like showering or washing dishes, more efficient and comfortable.
