Fire, Water, and Worry-Free Performance - Built to Last in Houston

You’re upgrading for ambiance, resale value, and a resort feel - without risking leaks, gas issues, or unreliable ignition. Professional fire and water feature installation ensures code-compliant gas, proper bonding, and automation that works every time. With our experienced team, you get safe operation, crisp spillways, and flame that holds steady in the wind. We handle permits, plumbing, and programming, so you simply tap “On.”

Safety & Risk Elimination

Safety starts with proper gas piping and verified pressures. We install black iron or bonded CSST to code, pressure-test lines with a calibrated manometer, and meet NFPA 54, NEC Article 680, and ISPSC requirements. Typical City of Houston inspections call for 10–15 psi for 15 minutes - no guesswork, no shortcuts.

We set clearances from structures and vegetation per manufacturer specs and the Houston Fire Code. Wind guards, flame sensors, and automatic shut-off keep your space safe. You avoid gas leaks, back-drafting, and electrical hazards that can come from DIY or non-permitted work.

Professional Results & Quality

We specify materials that hold up: 316 stainless steel pans and burners, hammered copper or GFRC bowls, copper/stainless scuppers, tempered glass wind guards, and waterproofed pedestals. Spillways are laser-leveled and shimmed for sheeted water, not streaks.

Ignition systems are CSA/ANSI Z21.97 listed. Electronics and low-voltage lighting are GFCI-protected and bonded. The result is balanced flow and solid flame presentation, with bowls anchored to raised beams to handle storms and seasonal swelling.

Time & Stress Savings

We manage it all: design, 3D layouts, HOA submittals, permits, trenching, plumbing, electrical, and automation setup. No juggling contractors or rework when inspections fail. Our team arrives with the right tools - from trenchers and pipe threaders to multimeters and ignition testers - so installation stays on schedule.

You get one point of contact and clearly staged work. Most retrofits complete in 1–3 days, and complex raised bond beam projects in about 1–2 weeks, with minimal disruption to your yard.

Cost-Effective Solution

Avoid the hidden costs of mistakes: undersized gas lines, poor drainage, or bowls that aren’t level. We calculate BTU demand, valve sizing, and flow balancing up front, preventing tear-outs and warranty denials. Proper waterproofing, weep holes, and backflow prevention protect your structure and decking.

We also offer ignition upgrades, burner replacements, and media refreshes (lava rock or tempered fire glass) to extend the life of existing features instead of replacing them prematurely.

Peace of Mind & Warranty

We’re fully insured, BBB accredited, and manufacturer-certified for Pentair/Grand Effects and Jandy systems. Your installation is backed by clear workmanship warranties and manufacturer coverage when installed to spec. We provide seasonal startup and safety checks to keep everything working perfectly.

With documented permits and inspections, you have proof of compliant installation - valuable for resale, insurance, and HOA records.

Built for Houston Wind, Rain & Hurricanes

We anchor bowls to raised beams and pedestals, plan drainage and weep holes, and apply waterproofing membranes to protect masonry. Wind mitigation and flame height tuning keep bowls lit through gusts. Electrical and equipment sit above known flood elevations when feasible.

From Memorial and River Oaks to Katy and The Woodlands, we tailor installations to neighborhood conditions, HOA standards, and local inspection practices.

Types of Projects We Handle

We install residential and commercial features: poolside fire bowls, pedestal bowls over spa spillways, rain curtains with fire torches, and poolside fire pits with seating walls. New builds or retrofits - we do both.

Updating an existing pool? We retrofit bowls onto raised bond beams, add LED-lit water bowls, and integrate with existing automation. We regularly work across Houston, Katy, Sugar Land, Cypress, Spring, and The Woodlands.

Our Proven Methods & Standards

Gas piping is sized to total BTU load and distance, then pressure-tested before inspection. Bonding and grounding follow NEC Article 680. We waterproof pedestals, core drill for clean penetrations, and level spillways to ensure even sheets of water.

We balance flows with valve sizing and actuators, and program Pentair IntelliCenter or Jandy iAqualink for one-tap control. Finishes include travertine, limestone, porcelain pavers, and cast stone for cohesive aesthetics.

Complex Situations We’ve Mastered

Retrofits on tight decks, long gas runs, or low supply pressure? We engineer solutions with regulator placement, trunk-and-branch layouts, and automation upgrades. For windy exposures, we add wind guards and tune flame heights for stability.

We handle HOA compliance, Harris County permits in unincorporated areas, and propane systems with Texas Railroad Commission oversight. Multi-bowl arrays on raised bond beams with scuppers are a frequent request.

Results You Can Expect

Even, quiet spillways. Reliable ignition in rain. Flames that hold shape in gusts. Clean pedestals that stay true and level. Typical retrofits complete in 1–3 days; larger masonry builds run 5–10 working days depending on scope and inspections.

We finish with a documented walkthrough, owner training, and maintenance plan so operation remains simple and safe for years.
