Don't ignore these signs of serious underground plumbing problems
When multiple fixtures back up at once (toilet, shower, sink), it indicates a main sewer line blockage that needs immediate attention.
Persistent sewage smell in or around your property indicates a cracked pipe, venting issue, or backup requiring professional diagnosis.
Unexplained wet areas, especially with lush grass, signal underground water or sewer leaks that waste water and damage property.
Sudden drop in water pressure throughout the property may indicate a water main leak or blockage needing investigation.
Unexplained increase in water bills without usage change often means an underground leak is wasting thousands of gallons.
New or expanding foundation cracks can result from underground plumbing leaks undermining the soil beneath your structure.
Gurgling from drains when water runs elsewhere indicates air in the lines from a partial blockage or venting problem.
Patches of unusually green, lush grass above sewer lines indicate sewage leak fertilizing that area - requires immediate repair.

Every job is different. These typical ranges help you budget. Call for a free camera inspection and exact quote.
Pricing factors: Pipe depth, length, access difficulty, pipe material, excavation requirements, restoration needs, and permit fees. All quotes include labor, materials, permits, and restoration.
Most residential sewer line replacements take 1-3 days. Trenchless methods are faster (1-2 days) than traditional excavation (2-3 days). Commercial projects with longer runs may take 3-5 days. We work efficiently to minimize disruption and can often maintain service during work using bypass pumping.
Trenchless repair (pipe lining or bursting) requires minimal excavation - just access holes at each end. It's faster, less disruptive, and preserves landscaping. Traditional repair requires digging a full trench but costs less and works when pipes have collapsed or shifted significantly. We assess your situation and recommend the best method.
Yes! We provide 24/7/365 emergency service for urgent underground plumbing issues. Our emergency team responds within 4 hours on average in the Katy and Houston area. We arrive fully equipped with camera inspection equipment, hydro jetting, and common repair materials to diagnose and often fix the problem on the first visit.
We use advanced technology: video camera inspection for visual diagnosis, electronic leak detection that listens for water escaping, acoustic sensors, thermal imaging for hot water leaks, and pressure testing to isolate problem areas. These methods pinpoint exact leak locations so we only excavate where necessary, saving you time and money.
Absolutely. Complete property restoration is included in all our quotes. We repair concrete, asphalt, pavers, irrigation systems, and landscaping. Our crew treats your property with care, and we return everything to original condition (or better). Photos are taken before work begins to ensure proper restoration.
Yes, sewer and water line work typically requires permits. We handle all permit applications and inspections for you - it's included in our service. Our team knows Katy and Houston permit requirements well and ensures all work meets code. Inspections are scheduled and we coordinate everything with the city.
When done correctly with quality materials, underground plumbing repairs last decades. Schedule 40 PVC sewer lines last 50-100 years. PEX water lines last 40-50 years. Trenchless pipe lining lasts 50+ years. We use only approved, quality materials and provide warranties: 1 year on repairs, 5 years on full replacements. Proper installation is key to longevity.
Yes, roots will regrow toward sewer lines (they seek water and nutrients). However, when we replace your line with new PVC, it's seamless with no cracks for roots to penetrate. We can also apply root killer treatments and recommend root barriers. If keeping the old pipe, regular hydro jetting maintenance (every 1-2 years) prevents root buildup.
