Get to Know JR Hernandez: Austin’s Music-Loving Plumber Next Door
When you call Infinity Plumbing Solutions, you’re getting more than another service call – you’re inviting JR Hernandez, an Austin original, into your home. JR is a third-generation plumber, a music lover, comic book fan, sneakerhead, and family man who cares as much about people as he does about fixing pipes.
From South Austin Kid to Master Plumber
JR has spent nearly his whole life in Austin, growing up in South Austin in a military family, and now calling Northwest Austin home. As a third-generation plumber, the trade runs in his blood, having been passed down from his grandfather and his dad. Today, he brings that lifetime of local experience to every sewage backup, clogged drain, water heater issue, and slab leak he tackles across Central Texas.
Being an “OG Austinite” matters to JR. He knows the neighborhoods, the quirks of older slab homes, and the things that make Austin, well, Austin. His goal is simple: be Austin’s expert plumber who also feels like a friend and neighbor you actually look forward to seeing when something goes wrong.
A Soundtrack for Every Plumbing Job
If JR is working at your home, there’s a good chance you’ll hear some music in the background. He loves music of all types, especially rock and hip hop, and there’s typically some tunes on while he works. Ask him what he’s listening to and he’ll happily talk about favorite bands, classic tracks, or what’s new on his playlist.
JR even makes his own music (you can find him on Spotify under JR The Plumber) blending his two worlds in the most Austin way possible. Fixing plumbing problems with a solid soundtrack is just one more way he brings some personality and comfort to a stressful situation.
Comics, Collectibles, and Family Time
Outside of work, JR and his family are big comic book fans. They collect comics, memorabilia, and related collectibles, and they love spending time together searching for new finds. On any given weekend, there’s a good chance you’ll see them at a local comic shop or bookstore somewhere around town, digging through shelves and long boxes.
That shared hobby keeps the family connected and grounded; it’s also part of why customers feel so comfortable around JR – he’s just as excited to talk about a favorite character, a new series, or a cool collectible as he is about the best way to fix a stubborn drain.
Sneakerhead, Jordan Fan, and Child of the 80s
Ask JR about his favorite athlete and he’ll tell you: Michael Jordan. There are a lot of reasons why, but one of the biggest: he respects MJ’s mindset. That drive to compete, always improve, and try to change the game. That approach to excellence has shaped the way JR runs his business and approaches every job.
JR’s love for MJ as a kid turned into a lifelong passion for Air Jordan sneakers. He’s a sneakerhead and a fan of fashion, still chasing the pairs he admired growing up. As a child of the 80s and a teenager of the 90s, he carries a lot of nostalgia from that era, from classic styles to the culture that shaped him.
Breakdancing, Karaoke, and a Family That Loves Music
JR’s connection to music goes beyond playlists and Spotify. Growing up, he fell in love with breakdancing and the culture around it. He used to bust some moves of his own and still loves the style, the movies, and the energy that breakdancing brought to the 80s and 90s.
Music runs through the whole family. His wife, Stacy, is a singer – you may have even heard her voice on one of Infinity Plumbing Solutions’ TV commercials. Together with their two boys, they’re big fans of karaoke night, where everyone gets a turn on the mic. It’s loud, fun, and full of the same joy JR tries to bring into his work.
Your Plumber and Your Neighbor
When you open the door to JR, you’re welcoming someone who understands what it means to live in Austin and care about the people here. He knows plumbing can be stressful, disruptive, and messy, so he focuses on clear communication, respect for your home, and a calm, friendly presence.
You’ll get expert help with sewage issues, clogged drains, water heaters, slab leaks, and all the general plumbing problems life throws your way. You might walk away with a great music recommendation or comic book suggestion too. That’s the balance JR aims for: professional, precise plumbing service from someone who feels like a neighbor you’ve known for years.
If you’re looking for a local plumber who brings skill, heart, and a great playlist, JR and Infinity Plumbing Solutions are ready to help.
