"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."

"Called at 8 am Saturday and on call plumber said he had a scheduled appointment but would be able to make the repair Saturday afternoon. Upon arrival he removed the insulation and found that the pipe had separated at the connector. JD Plumbing had repaired the pipe in January 2018 after the pipe froze and burst. The plumber, Sean, pointed out that the repair they made had separated but said since it was past the one year warranty he would need to call his manager to see what could be done on price. Sean made he call, sent a picture of the broken pipe and, after a second discussion, advised that the repair (normally $399) would be made at no charge even though we were past their warranty. This company is responsive, honest, and provides great customer service."

Customers say: Quality work

"Very happy wIth Breneks Plumbing. I needed to replace a major portion of my 36 yr old, 4-inch main sewer line. Tree roots had penetrated a pipe joint, and I also had standing water in a large low section, both of which have caused blockages in recent years. The estimate was done within a day after I contacted them, and the work was scheduled within two days and completed in one working day, as scheduled. Very happy with Tim, Greg, and the digging crew and the good attention to detail. They arranged for the utility markings ahead of the digging, and they protected my yard from a big mess with large sheets of plastic to hold the dirt while they had the ditch open."

"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!"

"I didnâ t have cash for a new water heater because I have already had several plumbing repairs lately. They gave me a good quote for the water heater and installation, got it approved for financing interest free, and had it installed in less than 3 hours!"

"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

When installing a sewer line, you should consider extra costs like tree removal, driveway repairs, or patio resurfacing. Hiring a professional plumber is essential, and you may need additional specialists if landscaping or heavy excavation is involved. Addressing these potential extras up front helps ensure accurate budgeting and prevents sudden cost overruns.

To calculate the length of sewer piping you need, measure the distance from your house to the main sewer line, adding the depth of the city main to this distance. Be sure to account for any obstacles like tree roots or utility lines that may require additional piping.

City sewer lines are installed at a lower elevation to prevent unwanted backflow and water damage. This lower positioning ensures enhanced performance and long-term safety, meeting all technical and safety standards.

With trenchless methods, a plumber inserts a smaller pipe within the existing plumbing, avoiding full excavation. It can be more cost-effective and less disruptive than traditional methods, but it's not suitable for all homes.

Yes, you must secure permission from your local water authority before connecting to a public sewer line. This approval ensures your connection meets all regulatory requirements.

Sewer lines are buried between 18 inches and 8 feet deep, with most systems placed between 18 and 30 inches. In colder regions, pipes are set deeper to remain below the frost line.
