"Leak was determined to be the result of hole in a buried galvanized water pipe. Installed new hot and cold Upomor pex pipe waterline from main house to guest house in back yard. Difficult job required much digging in several sites to expose necessary tees/joints. Clean up was shoddy because pavers/bricks/stones were removed but not correctly replaced. Also, parts of a deck were (necessarily) removed but not correctly replaced."

"I cannot praise this company enough. The cost was a little higher than I anticipated, but I think it was well worth it. We woke up on a Saturday to a bathroom sink full of water and overflowing onto our floor. Turning off the water did nothing. Matthew from JD Precision came out that afternoon and immediately knew that it was due to our A/C condensation not properly draining. He drained the water, cleaned the drain pipes, and gave us tips on how to prevent it happening in the future. He then looked at a couple of other issues for us that we had been planning to get a contractor out for. He could have easily "taken us for a ride" on a couple of them, but he was totally straightforward and honest about what he saw and told us we could wait on repairs (and, save our money!). THEN, as he was leaving (and we had already gone inside), he went and checked our septic system for us. We had told him that our septic sprinklers had been going off a ridiculous number of times a day but that our maintenance company had told us everything looked fine. It took him less than one minute to find a hose that was not properly attached to the aerator pump. He obviously had no obligation to go out of his way to go look at our septic system - the fact that he did was just so kind. He then sent someone else out to take a look at what appeared to be water damage on our ceiling to be sure we didn't have a leak somewhere. That gentleman (who was also extremely polite and knowledgeable) took one look and said we are totally fine. Again, completely honest. We have some toilets to replace and a few other plumbing issues to address, and I will absolutely be hiring JD Precision again. I absolutely recommend them!!"

"I had all of my old toilets replaced with new water-efficient models by Kohler, and I couldn?t be happier with the service! From the first call to the final installation, the plumber was prompt, professional, and courteous. They helped me choose the right models for my home, completed the job quickly, and left everything clean and tidy. The new toilets work great and are already making a difference in water usage. I highly recommend 100% Plumbing Houston for anyone looking for quality plumbing work and eco-friendly upgrades!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Mr. Brenek has been a plumber for over 30 years, he is a Master Plumber and is assisted by Greg, who is also very capable. I felt very comfortable in my selection of them. They seemed to be the most knowledgeable, very familiar with the usage of the camera, locator, etc. They did an excellent job of replacing my existing sewer line, starting Monday morning and it was turned back over to me today (Wednesday morning). The excavation and installation of the pipe were all completed the first day. Tuesday was tied up waiting for the City Inspector and the Excavator filled it back in this morning. Mr. Brenek was with me every step of the way, used a very good excavation company for the digging. I highly recommend him and would use him again."

"Brandon fixed a drain that was making a water hammer/thumping sound. We were able to trouble shoot on the phone and agree to a reasonable estimate. He then arrived on time and assessed the situation and made a recommendation. He was able to honor the estimated price and fixed everything really well. I was impressed with how up front and easy it was to work with him. He did a great job and I will definitely call him again!"

"Great experience. The work was done right and the price was very fair/reasonable. Joe (owner) and his wife (co-owner) were very nice and easy to work with. Joe showed up on time and each time gave me a call before to let me know he was on his way. They replaced a hose bib; replaced the faucets and hoses for my clothes washer; and rehooked up my gas dryer."

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Houston, TX

Sewer line replacement costs range from $50 to $250 per linear foot. Your replacement costs rise or fall based on material quality, installation complexity, and the specialized equipment crews need for excavation. Deeper lines cost more to access, and choosing budget-friendly PVC piping rather than premium copper also shifts the final price.

A sewer sleeve repairs cracked or damaged sections of a sewer pipe without the need for excavation. In this process, technicians insert a cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liner, saturated with epoxy, to seal defects and restore the pipe’s integrity. This approach protects your yard, trims repair time, and adds years to your sewer system’s life—all while delivering reliable results.

Newer homes use durable PVC and ABS piping that offer smooth interiors and effective clog prevention at an affordable cost. Older homes use materials such as copper, Orangeburg, clay, cast iron, or lead, which require a licensed plumber’s inspection to confirm safety and performance. This clear distinction impacts maintenance and overall system reliability.

Red flags include persistent clogs, recurring sewage backups, and unexplained spikes in utility bills. Strong sulfur odors, bubbling drains, and visible sewage in the yard serve as unmistakable warning signs. These symptoms demand immediate professional inspection and repair to prevent further property damage and health hazards, ensuring the system operates safely.

All sewer line projects require permits because strict sanitary and biohazard regulations mandate regulatory approval. Homeowners must secure permits, incurring a specific permit fee of $200 in addition to contractor costs. A licensed professional or local building department manages the permitting process, ensuring the work complies with all legal requirements before the project begins.

A clogged sewer line is not covered by standard homeowner’s insurance policies because these policies exclude damage from regular wear, tear, and neglect. In cases of accidental damage—such as when tree roots block the line—certain policies provide coverage. Homeowners must review their policy details or consult with their insurance provider to confirm the coverage terms.
