Hays County
Our home ground. Filters, UV lamps, pumps, first-flush, and tank inspection on any system in Dripping Springs, whoever installed it and however long it's been.
The short answer
Yes — Dripping Springs is our home ground. We service rainwater collection systems anywhere in and around Dripping Springs regardless of who installed them or how old they are, and our shop is right on Ranch Road 12. Most Dripping Springs calls get a same-day or next-day visit.
More homes here run on rainwater as their primary water source than almost anywhere in Texas, so we see the full range — Pioneer and poly tanks, concrete cisterns, DAB and Grundfos pumps, VIQUA and Sterilight UV. The common Dripping Springs problems are cedar and oak debris loading first-flush diverters and filters faster than owners expect, and UV lamps that quietly age out past their 420-day life. We stock the filters, UV lamps, and pump parts for the systems we see most, so a routine service call usually gets fixed on the first visit. If you inherited a system with the house and don't know its history, we'll assess it from scratch.

Permitting note
As of July 2026, the City of Dripping Springs no longer requires a plumbing permit for standalone rainwater systems used only for outdoor landscape irrigation and kept fully separate from indoor plumbing and any public water supply. Systems plumbed into the house still do, and permits for grading, drainage, electrical, or floodplain can still apply either way.
What we do here
Local conditions
Dripping Springs sits over the Trinity Aquifer, and outside the utility service areas most acreage here has no water line to connect to. Wells into the Trinity can be drilled, but yields vary property to property and static levels drop through a dry summer, so a well that was adequate in a wet year can come up short in a drought. That combination — no line, uneven groundwater, and a roof catching about 34 inches a year — is why so many homes here were built on collected rainwater from the start rather than as a backup. It also means a system going down is a house-out-of-water problem, not an inconvenience.
From our shop on Ranch Road 12 we cover everything from the 290 corridor to West Cave Loop and the Fitzhugh area — much of our own install base is within a few miles.
