Most fixture callbacks are from DIY installs — not original installations.

A loose supply line, improper wax ring seal, or missing shutoff valve can cause slow leaks that go unnoticed for months. Getting it done right once is cheaper than replacing a water-damaged floor or subfloor later.

Why Proper Installation Matters

A $200 Faucet Can Become a $2,000 Problem.

Austin's renovation boom has a lot of homeowners and investors trying to save money on fixture installs. The savings look fine until a slow leak develops behind the cabinet, under the toilet, or inside the wall — and you're looking at flooring replacement, subfloor rot, or mold remediation.

Texas code requires a licensed plumber for supply and drain connections. There's a reason for that.

  • Improperly seated toilet wax rings cause slow slab leaks — often undetected for months
  • Loose compression fittings on supply lines fail suddenly, flooding cabinets and floors
  • Missing or wrong-size shutoff valves create problems at the next repair or resale inspection
  • Garbage disposals wired or plumbed incorrectly can void appliance warranties
  • Unpermitted work surfaces at closing — buyers' inspectors flag it and deals stall
What We Install

Every Fixture, Done Right.

Whether it's a single faucet swap or a full bathroom upgrade, SolidStreams handles the full scope — supply connections, drain work, shutoff valves, and code-compliant rough-in.

Toilets

High Demand

Full toilet replacements, wax ring reseats, and flange repair. Austin's older homes often have outdated 3.5-gallon toilets — upgrading to a 1.28 GPF model pays back in lower water bills.

  • Complete toilet replacement and wax ring seal
  • Flange inspection and repair if needed
  • WaterSense-certified low-flow options available

Showers & Tubs

Shower valve replacement, tub spout and drain installs, and showerhead upgrades. Ideal for remodels in Austin's 1970s and 1990s homes where original valves are worn or mixing valves need replacement.

  • Shower valve and trim kit installation
  • Tub drain and overflow assembly
  • Handheld and rain showerhead upgrades

Garbage Disposals

New disposal installs and replacements, including drain connection and dishwasher knockout. Austin's hard water accelerates corrosion inside older disposals — most homeowners replace them every 8 to 12 years.

  • New disposal install or like-for-like swap
  • P-trap and drain reconnection
  • Dishwasher drain knockout if needed

Outdoor Hose Bibs

Replacement and new installation of outdoor hose bibs and frost-free sillcocks. Austin's occasional hard freezes catch homeowners off-guard — frost-free bibs protect supply lines when temps drop below freezing.

  • Frost-free sillcock installation
  • Backflow prevention where required
  • New outdoor water access point addition

Supply Lines & Shutoff Valves

Angle stops, straight stops, and supply line replacements throughout the home. Braided stainless lines and quality quarter-turn shutoffs — not the plastic valves that fail without warning.

  • Angle stop and supply line replacement
  • Quarter-turn ball valve upgrades
  • Pre-install shutoff inspection included

Before

Original 1980s Fixtures, Corroded Lines

Austin hard water had corroded the supply valves and left mineral deposits inside the faucet aerator. The shutoff valves hadn't moved in 20 years and were stuck. A common finding in East Austin and Travis Heights homes.
