FAQs
Do you handle permits and inspections in Austin?
Yes. We submit plans and manage inspections with the City of Austin Development Services Department (and nearby jurisdictions). If your courtyard is tight, we'll confirm setbacks, utility easements, and any HOA approvals specific to a compact plunge footprint.
What safety barriers do small lots require?
Austin requires compliant barriers—fencing, self‑closing/self‑latching gates, and alarms where applicable. On smaller lots we design barrier layouts that preserve space while meeting code and HOA rules.
Can I use a heater/chiller for hot and cold plunges?
Absolutely. Many clients choose a reversible heat‑pump/chiller for year‑round use—warm soaks in winter, cold plunges in summer. We'll size equipment for your volume and preferred temperatures.
What are typical plunge sizes and depths?
Popular footprints are 7'×7'×4', 10'×6'×4', and 13'×7'×4'. Depths are commonly 42–48" for hydrotherapy comfort; custom options depend on engineering and site conditions.
How do you handle water use during drought stages?
We plan the initial fill and maintenance with Austin Water guidance in mind. Plunges use far less water than large pools; covers, automation, and efficient filtration help minimize evaporation and refills.
Where does the equipment go, and how quiet is it?
We locate equipment for service access and neighbor offsets, and specify quiet variable‑speed pumps. If you have a narrow side yard, we’ll design an enclosure and verify clearances/noise limits.
What's the typical timeline and inspection schedule?
Timelines vary seasonally. We submit complete, code‑ready plans to reduce resubmittals and keep you updated through city review. Inspections are built into your schedule.
Do Austin soils or limestone require special engineering?
Often, yes. Many sites have limestone or variable soils. Our structural design (footings, steel, or soil measures) is engineered for your conditions so a compact plunge remains stable long‑term.
