Some sewer line problems can’t be cabled or jetted away — a cracked pipe, a collapsed section, a joint that’s separated, roots that have worked their way through the wall of the line itself. That’s not a cleaning job. That’s a repair job.
Texas Plumbing & Drain repairs and replaces sewer lines — including trenchless options that don’t require digging up your whole yard — for homes and businesses across Aledo, Weatherford, Fort Worth, and the west DFW Metroplex.
Quick note on what this page covers: this is the fix-the-pipe side of sewer work — repairing or replacing a line that’s actually damaged. If your line is intact but slow or clogged, head to our Drain Cleaning page — that’s the clear-it-out side, and a camera inspection will tell us plainly which one you actually need.
Cracked pipe, separated joint, a partial collapse — not every damaged section means replacing the whole line. If the damage is localized, a spot repair can fix it without excavating the entire run.
When the line’s old enough, damaged enough, or root-invaded enough that patching it is just delaying the next call, full replacement is the honest answer. We’ll walk you through what that involves before you agree to anything.
Pipe bursting and pipe lining let us replace or reline a damaged sewer line without trenching your whole yard open — less mess, less landscaping to redo, and often faster than a full dig. Not every situation qualifies for trenchless, and we’ll tell you honestly if yours doesn’t.
Before we recommend repair or replacement, we run a camera down the line so you can actually see what we’re seeing — the crack, the root, the collapsed section — instead of taking our word for it. This is also how we confirm whether a problem is a cleaning issue or a repair issue in the first place.
For properties on septic (common in our more rural service-area cities), we install the drain line running from your house to the septic tie-in point. Note: we are not a septic company — we don’t install, service, or repair septic tanks or septic systems themselves. We handle the plumbing line up to that connection point.
A camera inspection settles it. If the pipe itself is cracked, collapsed, or separated at a joint, that’s a repair. If the pipe is structurally fine but clogged with grease, roots growing inside a still-intact pipe, or debris, that’s a cleaning job — see our Drain Cleaning page.
It’s a way to repair or replace a damaged line without digging up the entire yard — usually through pipe bursting or pipe lining. It’s not right for every situation (depth, existing damage pattern, and access all matter), but when it qualifies, it saves you a torn-up yard and usually time too.
Depends entirely on the method. Traditional replacement means trenching the length of the damaged run. Trenchless methods can often avoid that almost entirely. We’ll tell you which applies to your situation before we start.
Yes — it’s usually the first step, whether you’re dealing with recurring clogs, a slow drain that won’t clear, or you just want to know the condition of an older line before buying or selling a house.
Both. Roots start by finding their way in through small cracks or loose joints looking for moisture — clogging the line. Left long enough, the growing root mass can crack the pipe further or separate joints entirely, turning a cleaning problem into a repair problem.
No — we’re not a septic company and don’t service septic tanks or systems directly. What we do handle is the plumbing drain line running from your house to the septic tie-in point, which is a normal part of new construction or repair work on septic properties.
A trenchless repair can often be done in a day. A traditional dig-and-replace depends on the length of the run and depth of the line — we’ll give you a real timeline once we’ve seen the camera inspection.
See what a local homeowner had to say after calling Texas Plumbing & Drain.
I had a main sewer line backup at my home and called Texas Plumbing & Drain. David and Kevin came out quickly, pulled the commode, ran the sewer machine through the full line to clear the blockage, replaced the wax rings and reset everything. They then ran all the fixtures in the house for about 30 minutes to make sure everything was draining properly before they left. No more issues — completely cleared. Fast, thorough, and professional. I would definitely call them again.
