Both companies hold a Texas Responsible Master Plumber licence with a Leander address on the state list. Here is what each one says about itself.
Capital City Plumbing & Drain gives an Austin address on its website and a Leander one on the state licence list, and its service area runs from Georgetown down to Kyle. Vaquero Plumbing is based in Liberty Hill and works the north side of that map: Leander, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Georgetown and Austin. Both list water heaters, tankless units and drain cleaning. The differences are in hours, warranty terms and what each company says about itself.
