"Done Right Today texted me just minutes after I searched on Angie's List with my emergency request, which was after 10pm. It was such a relief to know my repair could be done the next day. Ryan called the following morning, and he and Nick were at my door within an hour. They are very professional and knowledgeable, and gave me two options for replacement of my sump pump and check valve. They had all the necessary equipment in their truck and took less than an hour to have the replacement installed and everything running perfectly. Would definitely recommend, and hire again!! Thank you, Annie's List, for a perfect match!"

"Poseidon responded quickly to my request; they got the job completed the morning after my request. The plumber sent out, Jeff, was a pro. He took a look at my problem and quickly came up with my options for repairing or replacing my faucets. Based on the age of the faucets I elected to have them replaced. The work was quickly completed. I thought the cost was fair for the work performed"

"These folks were great to work with, They responded to my request for a consultation immediately and set up an appointment that suited my schedule. They arrived on time and listened carefully as I described the leak problem and the desire to replace the shower with a nicer but not luxury model. They told me what to expect as we replaced the shower and the possibilities for where the leak would be found. The shower enclosure was one I could buy at HD or Lowes and the price for the full job was not low - but it was reasonable considering the labor involved in bringing the old wallboard and shower parts down the steps by hand. The enclosure looked great when complete. Of course we had to get the wallboard that abutted the shower fixed by another contractor - but we knew that going in. Everything was done within 5 days of the estimate - 2 guys, i day, and they cleaned up after themselves completely. They were very understanding about our small dog who wanted to help. The only problem I had was the fact that when I tried to order a door insert, I discovered that the lip of the new shower was a mm off of level. You cannot install an insert if the lip is not true level according to Lowes. I could have chosen to call Seaside and have them fix it, but my family preferred a shower curtain, so it was not important. We plan to use them as our plumber for regular maintenance in the future. I would definitely recommend to anyone based on their knowledge and honesty."

"First, can I just comment on how professional Mr. Rooter was from the very first phone call to schedule service. Since it wasn't an emergency, they had me choose from selected "2 hour windows" where they were committed to arriving. They sent a text with a photo of my expected tech (what a great feature so you know for sure who is coming to your house, especially these days), and emails as reminders. Plus the tech (Zach) called when he was ready to come and asked me if the time was still ok with me. How convenient! He put little booties over his shoes each time he entered my home. He was clean in appearance and personable from the start. Truly very friendly and I felt comfortable having him in my home. Zach has 15+ years experience according to the little bio Mr. Rooter sent me ahead of time, and it shows. Jacob, his trainee with a few years experience, was on his way to becoming independent very soon. Just needing to learn the Mr. Rooter ropes. I wanted a kitchen sink sprayer installed. Love those handy things but never had one because for some reason my dishwasher's aerator was located in that same spot. Zach explained to me how things have changed over the years, showed me how the sprayer and hose would connect under my sink so that nothing would back up, and all in a manner that I actually understood! Then he and Jacob worked together very quickly to get my sprayer installed and and working. Who knew such a small thing could bring so much joy. While he was there, Zach asked if he could inspect my plumbing or if I had any other concerns. I mentioned my toilet made bubbling sounds for quite awhile. He said he would take a look. I thought maybe something was caught in the line. He inspected with a camera but told me he doubted that was the case as usually if there was an air pocket or something with the sewer, I would also hear bubbling in my shower and sink in the same bathroom, which I never have. After camera inspection was complete and nothing was in the line, and since my toilet was 22 years old, he suggested a new one might be in order since I didn't like plunging it. He told me he could install it at that time if I wanted it since it was in the window of time allotted for me and he didn't have another call to attend to right away, or he could come back at another convenient time, whichever I chose. (There is some sort of good discount to have work done in the same day, so that was a plus!) Well, he and Jacob had 2 styles (round or oval) of Kohler toilets to choose from on his truck, high efficiency (half-flush and full-flush) with "quiet-close" toilet seats included to boot. Those seats are awesome when you have kids who just slam everything down, ha. I think they had that toilet done within an hour from start to finish! BTW, this was written by the woman of the house, but Zach willingly spoke to my husband over the phone about the toilet while he was here, so I didn't feel any pressure to make a decision on my own. So now I am scheduling a time for Mr. Rooter to come and install a sink basin in my garage for dirty clean up jobs. Zach was able to figure out how everything would connect from my basement and inside bathroom to my garage. He also said he would do a full sewer inspection with his camera when that happens. Can't wait....really. They are knowledgeable, professional, respectable, and very nice too!"

"My heat pump which had been installed 2 years ago by FH Furr suddenly stopped working Sunday afternoon. With the heat warnings in effect, I knew I needed help, FAST! Blair arrived this morning abd diagnosed the issue and replaced the condensation pump. These new "smart" systems have more brains than some humans!! When the pump failed, it shut down the entire system. However, Blair had the old school know-how and work ethic to get my system back online and back to normal. I have seen a nice change in technicians in the last 2 years and am always pleased to have them come out and fix any issues I may have. Keep up the good work!!"

FAQs for water main install, replace or repair projects in Houston, DE

If you notice puddles or standing water in your yard, a sudden drop in water pressure, cracks forming in your foundation, frequent clogs in your plumbing fixtures, or water that looks or smells unusual, you might have a leak in your main water line. These signs mean it's time to call a professional to evaluate the issue and prevent further damage.

A professional water main inspection is a comprehensive evaluation performed by a licensed plumber who checks every section of your plumbing system. The inspection costs $165 and uses advanced diagnostic techniques to identify hidden leaks or wear. This service clarifies the exact condition of your water main, enabling precise repairs that prevent future damage and ensure the overall health of your plumbing system.

Protect your water main by scheduling a cleaning and inspection every two to five years. The average cost of a sewer line cleaning is $400. It’s also important to never dig in your yard without first calling the dig line (811) to ensure you don't accidentally hit the water or sewer lines. Watch for soil erosion, low water pressure, or wet spots in your yard, and take immediate action if you suspect a leak. Remember, the longer you leave it, the worse the problem gets and the more costly it is to fix.

When properly maintained, your water main is engineered to remain functional for 50 years or longer. A durable water service in excellent condition should consistently perform without major issues for half a century. In contrast, metal pipes exposed to acidic soil corrode faster, whereas modern plastic pipes resist corrosion and function for decades beyond metal alternatives. Regular maintenance and inspections are essential for confirming your system’s longevity.

No, homeowners insurance does not cover the cost to repair a water main. Insurers fund only sudden, unforeseen events like a burst pipe and exclude gradual issues or normal wear and tear. Damage resulting from leaks, such as mold remediation or property claims, is not covered. It is essential to contact your insurance provider immediately to confirm your policy’s details and any potential adjustments needed.
