You Cannot Afford to Ignore Hard Water!
When a homeowner has a toilet that is backing up all over the bathroom floor, or a ruptured water line turning their front lawn into a swamp, he or she is going to jump into action swiftly. Not all plumbing problems will elicit the same type of response, however, even if the problem is actually just as deserving of it. The problem is that some homeowners don’t necessarily recognize this as being the case in all situations.
Take the matter of hard water, for instance. No, we don’t mean ice. We mean water that has certain quality issues that we’ll detail a bit more below. Hard water has a lot of negative effects on plumbing systems and water quality in general. Some are immediate and obvious, while others may be more cumulative and take time to surface. All of them should really be resolved as quickly as possible, though.
What Exactly Are We Talking About Here?
If you hear “water quality problems” and immediately start thinking of scenarios in which you and your family are at risk of health issues, don’t worry. That’s not what hard water is going to result in. Hard water isn’t full of biological pollutants or chemicals that are going to harm you. It’s water that has too high of a mineral content.
Typically we’re talking about things like calcium and magnesium. While this may not mean that your water is unsafe to drink, it does mean that there are some likely problems that will develop over time. What types of problems are we talking about?
So Many Problems!
Yes, health issues aside, there are still a lot of problems that hard water can and will lead to in your home. It can build up in your pipes, for instance, leaving deposits that will constrict the pipes over time. That can throw off water pressure in the system, and even lead to damages.
Plus, these deposits look really ugly on fixtures. Hard water can make it hard to clean your clothes, your dishes, and even your body effectively! And it may result in tap water that doesn’t taste all that great, either.
What’s the Solution?
So many problems, yes, but only one solution is necessary. That’s the good news. You just need to hire our plumbers to install a water softener in your home.
A water softener works by swapping out hard water minerals with sodium minerals. It’s a whole-house system, so you don’t have to worry about where you’re using water in the house. We’ll install your water softener, and then you just have to replenish the softening salt occasionally. It’s that easy. And you know that when our plumbers install your equipment, that equipment will be of a high quality and it will be installed properly, every step of the way. So be sure to contact us if you notice the signs of hard water in your home.

What Our Customers Say About Us


His experience led us to a solution for our pipes, which saved us thousands and thousands of dollars.
He’s a good man to have on your side



Edit: I was contacted by the branch manager and she accepted full responsibility and was very upfront. They made up for it in kind and I appreciate them being upfront and willing to make the situation right. Their customer service is top notch!


The service was perfect. The technician Julian Bray was pleasant, knowledgeable and completed the install quickly. The area was left cleaner than when he arrived.


The leads Nick & Brian were knowledgeable and covered our floors to protect them. Their crew included Kevin & Ricky who were also kind and respectful.

As always they came thru and did an excellent job Damian Palazeulos was very meticulous and skilled.






Installer Tech Ardian and his assistant arrived on schedule this morning and have completed the job that needed to be done orderly and neatly. Thanks everyone.


Junior Gonzalez (Goettl) came the next evening, replaced my wall inlet valve and began the reinstallation. He found that the flange did indeed need to be replaced, but that required soldering due to my older house’s lead pipes.
Richard Wenzlaff (also with Goettl) came the next day and finished the installation (including soldering pipe repair and flange installation).
Great people. Very courteous and patient. Very thorough: they checked water pressure and dbl checked their jobs. Would recommend and call again.

Jesus was are tec came in check everything let me know what would need to be done or taken care of came in respectfully with a great attitude

Thank you David for a job well done.

Johnthan, Thank you so very much for conducting the plumbing assessment of my home this morning. Your professionalism, expertise and personal demeanor were outstanding. Your patience, knowledge and customer educational skills were greatly appreciated, and I am a much better informed customer when it comes to the status, potential issues and how to resolve any water/ plumbing related issues that may arise in the future.
Again, thank you.
Abdiel Chavez, technician came out today to perform my heating system check. He was very professional and thorough in his assessment. It was a pleasure seeing him again as he was the initial technician to come to my home when I first moved here, so it was like having a visit from an old friend. Thank you Abdiel.











Damian was wonderful. He is a great asset to the Goettl team. Thank you for quick, reliable service.




...... we had an AC problem a few days later. Peter Medelez from Goettl came out and fixed it expertly and made some recommendations to ensure it won't happen again. Some things hadn't been done correctly when it was installed several years ago (by someone else), and he will be back next week to fix them. I highly recommend Goettl.
... 10/15/25 ... we had a leak in the main water line which was running into the neighbors' yard. In less than two hours of calling Goettl, Clayton Purvis arrived to fix the leak. He repaired the leak and fixed connections, and repaired something previously done incorrectly in the unknown past. He was done before we had to leave for a prior equipment. I feel confident in the quality of work, as I always am when I have to call Goettl for something.



Elvin did a professional job, very satisfied with his work.and he had the time to explain everything to me.thank you






Update: Jeremy Ortega was awesome did a great job taking care of us and our unit !! Informed of prevention and ways to keep our system healthy highly recommend!!


Parker has a lot of knowledge and doesn't hide anything, or even treat me like I may not know what I'm looking at. I really appreciate everything he has done today, his hard work, and his kind heart. I will be requesting him going forward.

We couldn’t be happier with his service and recommendations. We were very happy with the fast service and the excellent team installing our unit! They were installing the new unit the next day and they were very professional and did an excellent job!
Thank you for all for the quality and excellent service and advice!

Had Andrew come out to remove garbage disposal and repipe sink. He also swapped out 13 emergency water shut off valves in 3 bathrooms.
Andrew was professional, courteous and expedient. He did have to run out to get some supplies. He stayed until 7pm to complete the job on one trip.
May 2023 update. Technician Steve came today to do the summer rejuvenation. Friendly and professional tech. Explained the process and findings. Both systems are new, so everything checked out good. Did a god cleaning of coils and now all set for the summer season. Had them out for fall prevention service and to review the systems that are here. I just bought the house and needed to understand what was in place.
The service tech, Kevin was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He explained and provided photos and video of all components. He ensured keeping house clean and wore booties.
My second unit is not in the best shape, and Kevin explained each of the issues. I will follow up with service managér to determine next steps (repair or replacement).
I signed up for there service plan and am very pleased with the service and communication to date
12/21 Luis C came today to do routine maintenance on hot water heater. Professional and courteous. He did a through job and explained everything.
10/15. Juan came today and did a great job. He was professional, courteous and friendly. Was here for exterior water bid but also did a hot water heater. Took his time and explained everything.










If there was a 6th star, he’d be getting it!










Thank you Preston








Professional, knowledgeable and efficient. Very polite and courteous
Also installed surge protectors on the the condensers






We’ve been Goettl customers for years and have always appreciated their service, but Kevin Edwards truly raised the bar. During his visit yesterday, Kevin showed outstanding attention to detail and technical expertise. He thoroughly inspected every part of our HVAC system, documenting his findings with photos and clearly explaining issues that had gone unnoticed through several previous service visits.
Kevin discovered that our HVAC system had been improperly installed when the home was built—something no other technician had identified. He explained how that flaw had created a chain of problems affecting the furnace, cooling system, and overall efficiency. Because the system uses an outdated refrigerant, repairs weren’t a viable long-term solution, and Kevin guided us toward a responsible upgrade plan.
While no homeowner wants to replace a system after only seven years, we’re grateful Kevin uncovered these hidden issues before they caused a catastrophic failure. His thoroughness, honesty, and professionalism turned a potential headache into peace of mind. Kevin is an exceptional representative of Goettl, and we recommend him without hesitation.

I want to express my complete satisfaction with the work performed by Frank Piusseaux, a technician from Goettl.
For months, several technicians tried to identify the issue with my air conditioning unit, but no one could solve it. However, from the moment Frank arrived, he showed great professionalism and dedication. He took the time to carefully investigate the cause of the problem and determined that the issue was a short circuit in the wiring between the thermostat and the unit.
Thanks to his knowledge and effort, my air conditioning system is now working perfectly.
I truly hope that Goettl recognizes the value of having such a skilled, responsible, and committed employee. Technicians like him make a real difference and deserve special recognition, even a financial incentive, for the value they bring to the company.
Thank you very much, Frank, for your excellent work!










Great service great company. Will definitely be using for future HVAC needs.


Great communication.
Explained everything in detail.
Took before and after pictures.











I called Goettl and set up an appointment.
Mike H arrived on time and with his extreme knowledge and experience, he was able to replace the tank and give my system a much needed flush. Mike was so courteous and polite and answered all my questions and gave me advice on the how and why this happened and how to avoid this in the future.
Thank you Goettl and thank you Mike!




This past week our service technician was Andrew Morgan and he is such a friendly, knowledgeable, and skilled technician. He spent time making sure the job was done correctly and he explained it in terms that I could understand. Not only is our unit functioning even better than before, I also gained knowledge of how the system works.













I highly recommend Goettl as this is the second time l've used them in less than a year. (2 seperate issues)... and I highly recommend them..anytime and anyday.
They have exceeded to top any expectations I could have ever had with any company.


Jerry also noticed our water pressure was low after flushing toilet then trying to wash hands in bathroom sink which were so he suggested a new pressure regulator as we have had a new better water conditioning system installed. We now have the best water pressure even when using a shower and kitchen sink faucet at the same time. Also Jerry is a master plumber and we appreciate his knowledge and experience. Will definitely call Goettl again when a plumber is needed.
Ralph & Kathy Lesmeister



Darean Guerra today. He arrived on time and took the time to explain what he was going to do. He was very knowledgeable which helped me trust what he was doing. He left his work area clean. I am very pleased with his work.




Now we have a new flange, installed correctly, and ready for the new toilet!








The company is installing a tankless heater and the customer service is outstanding.
I recommend Geottl to all!

I definitely recommend Goettl for all your needs.

Nick was helpful, friendly and professional in scheduling the appointment around my commitments.
I have used Goettl for nearly 20 years for my plumbing and HVAC needs. I recommend them as reliable, professional and easy to work with.


They made sure my carpet was covered and when they were all through they cleaned up perfectly
I would recommend your company to anyone looking to put in a new air conditioner.
Thank you so much for all you did for me.
Sincerely, June Jones

And I would highly recommend the company and the quality technicians like Jarod.
Jarod is the go to if you want excellent
Customer service and communication for any AC related issues. He is very knowledgeable, personable and trustworthy. I am grateful and satisfied.







They listened to my issue, were very through, checked for leaks, etc. I’ve lived in Lakeway for 30 years, used MANY local plumbers - but Goettl will definitely get all my business moving forward. HIGHLY recommend!
