The Story of Infinity Plumbing Solutions: Born in Austin
Infinity Plumbing Solutions started right here in Austin, Texas, as a family-driven answer to the plumbing chaos many Central Texas homeowners have faced. Founded by JR Hernandez, a third-generation plumber, our family-owned company brings decades of hands-on experience to services like sewage issues, clogged drains, water heater repairs + installations, slab leaks, and more – name your plumbing need, we do it.
Third-Generation Roots in Plumbing
JR Hernandez comes from a long line of plumbers, as his grandfather and dad paved the way before him. His father, Jaime Hernandez Sr., served in the Air Force before settling in Austin, From there, the family trade took root in the heart of Central Texas.
What began as summer jobs tagging along with his dad turned into JR’s lifelong calling, though he had no idea of that at the time. You see, at 15 years old when JR joined his father on jobs, the goal was simply to earn some cash for clothes and a new pair of sneakers before school started. Without necessarily realizing it in the moment, and while battling the Texas summer heat, JR was laying the foundation for his life’s calling.
Finding His Path Through Mentors and Hard Work
High school wasn’t always smooth for JR; he skipped some classes and ran with the wrong crowd around South Austin. That is, until his dad stepped in and told him: “Do something with your life.” That led JR to full-time plumbing with family friend and mentor, Charlie Brown.
For about five years, JR honed his skills with Charlie, bouncing between jobs to build real-world experience. He even considered leaving the trade but stuck with it because he loved solving problems and saw first-hand the impact quality plumbing can have on someone’s life (though having a natural knack for it didn’t hurt either). JR’s next company is where he stayed for nearly 20 years, consistently earning promotions through the ranks as he sharpened his expertise in everything from drain clogs to complex repairs.
Key mentors shaped him: his dad Jaime Sr., Charlie, Brad, and others like Pastor Paul, who actually covered the fee of JR’s apprentice license at the start of his career. These role models pushed JR to grow from journeyman to master plumber and responsible master, and he never forgets those who have played such pivotal roles in his journey to owning Infinity Plumbing Solutions.
Building Infinity: A Legacy for Family and Austin
After years of laying the groundwork, JR launched Infinity Plumbing Solutions. The goal is simple, but perhaps easier said than done: Leave a legacy for his family, especially his two sons, while faithfully serving the Austin community he’s always called home.
