Water & Gas Line Services in Austin, TX
ABC Home & Commercial Services provides expert diagnostic, repair, and installation for residential and commercial water and gas lines throughout Austin and Central Texas. Led by Master Plumber Mike Marugo, our team ensures your home’s primary infrastructure is safe, efficient, and fully compliant with all local building codes, protecting your family and your property from the ground up.
Infrastructure Mastery Led by a Master Plumber
Working on pressurized gas and water lines in the rocky, shifting soil of Central Texas requires a high level of technical mastery. At ABC, your home’s most critical lines are managed by a veteran who has handled high-security infrastructure for some of the nation’s most sensitive institutions.
- Master-Level Precision: Mike Marugo, Plumbing Operations Manager, is a Licensed Texas Master Plumber with 32 years of experience. Having managed plumbing systems for the Federal Reserve Bank, Mike brings a “zero-failure” mindset to gas line safety and water line integrity.
- Regulatory Expertise: Mike ensures every gas and water line project meets or exceeds Austin’s rigorous municipal codes. His deep understanding of gas pressure requirements and piping materials—including CSST and polyethylene—ensures your installation is both safe and durable.
- Locally Owned Accountability: Because ABC is a family-owned, Austin-based institution under the leadership of Bobby Jenkins, we never compromise on safety. Unlike many local plumbing companies that have kept their names but sold their ownership to out-of-state private equity firms, and as a result may prioritize “speed to completion,” Bobby Jenkins ensures our team performs comprehensive pressure testing and utilizes premium, high-density materials for every line we lay.

The ABC Difference: The “Safety & Flow” Audit
Every line project begins with a Comprehensive Safety & Flow Audit. We don’t just “run a pipe”; we calculate the total BTU demand for your gas system or the required GPM (Gallons Per Minute) for your water supply. This scientific approach, championed by Mike Marugo, ensures that when you turn on your new gas stove or master shower, your system provides consistent, safe performance. By choosing a locally owned company with a 75-year legacy, you receive a level of professional accountability that national chains cannot match.

Backed by the 30+ year reputation of Master Plumber Mike Marugo and the legacy of the Jenkins family, we ensure your home’s vital systems are restored with integrity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I smell gas in my Austin home?
If you smell a “rotten egg” odor, immediately evacuate everyone from the home and call your gas provider or 911 from a safe distance. Once the gas has been shut off and the area cleared, contact ABC. Our Licensed Master Plumbers will perform a professional pressure test and use electronic leak detectors to locate the breach and perform a certified repair.
Can ABC install a gas line for an outdoor kitchen?
Yes. Installing outdoor gas lines requires careful sizing to ensure the pressure is sufficient for grills, fire pits, or pool heaters. Mike Marugo and his team will calculate the total BTU load and install a code-compliant, durable gas line that integrates seamlessly with your existing system.
Why is my water bill suddenly so high?
A sudden spike in your water bill often points to a main water line leak between the meter and your home. Because Austin’s rocky soil can hide the signs of a leak (like soggy spots in the yard), professional leak detection is required. ABC’s licensed specialists use acoustic and electronic equipment to find the leak without unnecessary digging, saving you money on both water waste and landscape repair.

What Our Customers Are Saying

“Mason was amazing! He did a great water softener & whole house filter install and spent the time to go over all the instructions on how to use it. I had been wanting to do this for over a year and finally was able to get it all arranged. I will say, once the techs come out, they are great, knowledgeable and down to earth. Sometimes dealing with the office for quotes and back and forth between reception and management is a bit of a challenge but again, once they came out, assessed and quoted, I was very happy an went ahead with the install. My advice to others is to overlook some of the office back and forth and talk to the onsite techs. They rock”

“My plumber Daniel was 6 star worthy. After a horrible experience with another plumber, I gave ABC a try. I got a new propane water heater installed IN THE SAME DAY. Called at 11am, new water heater installed by 6pm, and hot water was back by 630pm. Daniel was kind, knowledgeable, reassuring, and thoughtful. He quickly troubleshot the issue and gave me options with caveats so that I could make an informed decision. And he didn't just focus on the issue at hand (just the new tank). He made sure that all the pieces and fittings of my system would be safe, operational, and reliable. If Daniel is any reflection of ABC has a whole, then this company is amazing. The receptionists and schedulers were also extremely kind and efficient.”
