Drain problems

Frequent drain clogs are often caused by grease buildup, soap residue, hair, food waste, or tree roots invading your sewer line. If the same drain keeps clogging, it may indicate a deeper plumbing issue that requires professional inspection and repair.

Slow drains are typically caused by accumulated debris, grease, soap scum, mineral buildup, or partial blockages within your plumbing system. A professional plumber can identify the cause and restore proper drainage before the problem worsens.

If a clog keeps returning, affects multiple drains, causes foul odors, or results in water backing up into your home, it’s time to call a professional plumber. Prompt service helps prevent more serious plumbing damage.

Chemical drain cleaners can clear minor clogs temporarily but they can also damage your pipes over time especially older pipes. If a clog keeps coming back, it is a sign of a bigger problem that needs a professional look.

Hydro jetting uses high pressure water to blast buildup, grease, and debris from inside your pipes. It is recommended when standard snaking is not enough or when you have recurring clogs in the same line.

For most homes, once every 1 to 2 years is a good rule of thumb. Homes with older pipes, large families, or frequent clogs may benefit from annual cleaning.

Toilet Replacement & Repair

If your toilet frequently clogs, leaks, rocks, has visible cracks, or requires repeated repairs, replacing it is often the more cost-effective long-term solution. A plumber can evaluate its condition and recommend the best option.

Most standard toilet installations can be completed within a few hours. The exact timeframe depends on the condition of the existing plumbing and whether additional repairs or modifications are needed.

Yes. We can install customer-supplied toilets as long as the fixture is compatible with your existing plumbing. Our team will ensure it’s installed properly for reliable, leak-free performance.

A constantly running toilet is usually caused by a worn flapper, a faulty fill valve, or a float that is set too high. It is a simple fix but wastes a significant amount of water every day if left unaddressed.

Gurgling sounds usually indicate a venting issue or a partial blockage in the drain line. A hissing sound typically points to a fill valve problem. Either way it is worth having it checked before it becomes a bigger issue.

Small hairline cracks can sometimes be repaired temporarily but a cracked tank is generally a sign that replacement is the better long term option. We will give you an honest assessment on site.

Frequent clogs can be caused by using too much toilet paper, flushing non-flushable items, or a partial blockage further down the drain line. If it keeps happening, a camera inspection can tell us exactly what is going on.

WaterSense certified toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush or less compared to older models that use up to 3.5 gallons. We can recommend and install the right model for your home and budget.

New Construction Plumbing

New construction plumbing typically includes water supply lines, drain and sewer systems, gas piping, fixture installation, water heaters, and final plumbing connections. We provide complete plumbing solutions for residential and commercial construction projects.

A plumber should be involved during the planning and framing stages to properly design and install the plumbing system before walls and floors are finished. Early planning helps avoid costly changes later in the project.

Yes. We provide professional plumbing services for custom homes, remodels, commercial buildings, and other new construction projects, ensuring every installation meets local building codes and industry standards.

We work directly with your general contractor to align our rough-in schedule with framing, electrical, and HVAC so plumbing does not become the bottleneck on your build timeline.

Rough-in is everything installed before walls and floors close up — supply lines, drain waste vent systems, and gas piping. Finish plumbing is the fixtures — sinks, toilets, faucets, and showers — installed once the space is complete.

Typically there are three inspection points — rough-in, top-out, and final. We build to current Texas plumbing code and coordinate with local inspectors so each stage passes without delays.

Yes. We work with both homeowners and general contractors on new construction projects. The earlier we are looped into the planning process the better we can align with the rest of the build.

Fixture Installation

Yes. We install a wide range of plumbing fixtures, including faucets, sinks, showers, bathtubs, toilets, garbage disposals, and more. Our team ensures every fixture is installed correctly for long-lasting performance.

Absolutely. Many plumbing fixtures can be upgraded without completing a full remodel. Replacing outdated faucets, sinks, toilets, or shower fixtures is a simple way to improve both appearance and functionality.

Most plumbing fixture installations can be completed in a few hours, depending on the type of fixture and the complexity of the installation. We’ll provide a clear timeline before work begins.

We install most major brands. If you have a specific brand or model in mind, let us know and we will confirm compatibility with your existing plumbing before we start.

We will do our best to match your existing fixtures. In some cases an exact match may not be available but we can recommend options that are as close as possible in style and finish.

Yes. We install and repair outdoor hose bibs, irrigation connections, and other exterior plumbing fixtures across the DFW Metroplex.

Yes. We install all types of shower systems including rainfall shower heads, handheld sprayers, and multi-body spray setups. We will make sure your water pressure and supply lines can handle the upgrade before installation.

Yes. We remove and dispose of old fixtures as part of our installation service so you do not have to worry about it.

Water Heater

Signs include rusty or discolored water, rumbling or popping noises, water pooling around the base of the unit, inconsistent hot water, or a unit that is more than 10 years old.

A general rule is 40 gallons for 1 to 2 people, 50 gallons for 3 to 4 people, and 80 gallons or more for larger households. We size the unit to your actual hot water demand.

Most water heater installations are completed within 2 to 3 hours including removal of the old unit, installation of the new one, and a full system check before we leave.

The temperature and pressure relief valve is a safety device that releases pressure if your water heater overheats or builds up too much pressure. A faulty T&P valve is a serious safety concern and should be replaced immediately.

Yes but it requires a gas line connection if one is not already in place. We handle both the plumbing and gas line work to make the switch safely and correctly.

We recommend flushing your water heater once a year to remove sediment buildup especially in the DFW area where hard water accelerates sediment accumulation.

Slab Leak Detection

Common signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, warm spots on the floor, low water pressure, and the sound of running water when all fixtures are off.

We use advanced, non-invasive slab leak detection equipment to accurately locate leaks under the foundation before any repair work begins.

Yes left untreated, slab leaks can cause serious structural damage to your foundation, so it’s best to address them as soon as possible.

Cost depends on the leak’s location and severity. We provide an estimate after diagnosing the issue.

Most slab leak detection appointments take between 1 and 3 hours depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the plumbing system.

Yes. A slab leak that goes undetected for an extended period can create moisture conditions that lead to mold growth under your flooring and inside your walls. Early detection is the best way to prevent this.

It depends on your policy. Most homeowners insurance covers sudden and accidental water damage but may not cover the cost of the repair itself. We recommend checking with your insurance provider.

Yes. Depending on the location and severity of the leak, we can often use minimally invasive methods that limit the amount of concrete that needs to be broken up.

Tankless Water Heater & Recirculation

Tankless water heaters provide continuous hot water and improved energy efficiency compared to traditional tank units, making them a popular long-term investment.

With proper maintenance, tankless water heaters typically last significantly longer than traditional tank water heaters.

A recirculation system keeps hot water readily available at your fixtures, reducing the wait time for hot water especially useful in larger homes

Cost depends on your home’s setup and the unit selected. We provide a free estimate before installation.

The right size depends on the number of fixtures running simultaneously and your household’s peak hot water demand. We size the system for your specific home rather than using a one size fits all approach.

A properly sized tankless water heater will not run out of hot water because it heats water on demand. If you are running out of hot water with a tankless unit it is likely undersized for your household.

Gas tankless water heaters heat water faster and are better suited for whole house applications. Electric tankless units are more compact and work well for point of use applications or smaller households.

Yes. Tankless water heaters are significantly smaller than traditional tank units and can be installed in tight spaces like closets, utility rooms, or even outdoors in Texas climate conditions.

Tankless water heaters require an annual descaling service especially in areas with hard water like the DFW Metroplex. Beyond that they are generally lower maintenance than traditional tank units.

Smoke Test (Sewer/Drain Inspection)

A smoke test involves introducing safe, non-toxic smoke into your sewer or drainage system to identify leaks, cracks, or damaged pipes.

Smoke testing helps identify hidden leaks or damage in your sewer/drain system before they become costly repairs.

Yes, the smoke used is non-toxic and safe for residential and commercial properties.

Most smoke tests are completed within 1 to 2 hours depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the drain and sewer system.

The smoke used in a plumbing smoke test is non-toxic and odorless. If smoke enters your living space during the test it is actually a sign that there is a leak or venting issue that needs to be addressed.

A smoke test is highly effective at locating leaks, breaks, and venting issues in sewer and drain systems. For more complex issues we may recommend a camera inspection as a follow up.

No. The smoke used is non-toxic and safe for occupants. However we recommend opening windows for ventilation during the test.

A smoke test is typically performed when there is a suspected sewer gas leak, unexplained odors, or as part of a pre-purchase inspection. It is not generally required on a routine schedule for residential properties.

Once we locate the source of the issue we will walk you through exactly what we found and provide a clear repair plan with pricing before any work begins.

Sewer Line Repair & Replacement

Common causes include tree root intrusion, aging pipes, ground shifting, and blockages.

Signs include slow drains throughout the house, sewage odors, gurgling sounds, or sewage backups.

Depending on the damage, trenchless repair methods may be an option we’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the most effective solution.

Timeline depends on the scope of the project; we’ll provide an estimated timeline after inspection.

Trenchless sewer repair allows us to fix or replace damaged sewer lines with minimal digging. Ask our team whether trenchless methods are suitable for your specific situation.

A properly repaired or replaced sewer line can last 50 years or more depending on the material used and soil conditions. We use quality materials and proven methods to maximize the lifespan of every repair.

Yes. Heavy rain can cause ground shifting, root intrusion, and increased pressure on sewer lines especially in North Texas clay soil conditions which expand and contract significantly with moisture changes.

A sewer camera inspection uses a small camera fed through your sewer line to identify blockages, breaks, root intrusion, and other issues. It is the most accurate way to diagnose a sewer problem before recommending a repair.

Avoid flushing non-flushable items, limit grease going down kitchen drains, have your lines cleaned periodically, and schedule a camera inspection if you notice recurring issues.

Burst Pipe Repair

Shut off your home’s main water supply immediately, then call a plumber right away to prevent further water damage.

Common causes include freezing temperatures, aging pipes, high water pressure, and corrosion.

This depends on your specific policy check with your insurance provider for coverage details.

We treat burst pipes as emergencies and respond as quickly as possible to minimize water damage.

Locate your main water shut-off valve which is usually near the water meter or where the main line enters your home. Turn it clockwise to shut off the water supply and then call us immediately at (682) 452-6455.

Yes. Insulating exposed pipes, keeping cabinet doors open under sinks on cold nights, and letting faucets drip slightly during freezing temperatures can all help prevent frozen pipes.

Most burst pipe repairs are completed within a few hours depending on the location and severity of the damage. We work quickly to minimize water damage to your property.

Not always. A burst pipe inside a wall or under a slab can leak for some time before becoming visible. Signs include wet spots, discoloration, musty smells, or an unexplained increase in your water bill.

Yes. A small leak that is ignored can worsen over time due to water pressure and corrosion eventually leading to a full pipe failure. Address leaks early to avoid costly emergency repairs.

Kitchen & Bathroom Plumbing

Cost varies based on scope full remodel vs. fixture updates. We provide a free estimate based on your project.

Yes, we handle kitchen plumbing installations including sinks, faucets, and garbage disposals.

Timeline depends on the scope of work we’ll give you an estimated schedule during your consultation.

Yes. We relocate supply lines, drain lines, and vent stacks as part of kitchen and bathroom remodel projects. We will review your plans and make sure the new layout is code compliant before work begins.

Clogged drains from grease and food debris are the most common kitchen plumbing issue. Leaky faucets and failing garbage disposals are also frequent problems we see across the DFW Metroplex.

Yes. We install under sink filters, reverse osmosis systems, and whole house filtration systems. Clean drinking water at your kitchen tap is a straightforward upgrade we can handle in one visit.

Yes. Freestanding tub installation requires proper floor reinforcement, supply line placement, and drain connection. We handle the full plumbing side of the installation to make sure everything is done correctly.

A pressure balance valve automatically adjusts to maintain a consistent water temperature even when other fixtures are used simultaneously. It is the safer and more comfortable option especially in homes with multiple bathrooms.

If your pipes are older than 40 years, made of galvanized steel, or showing signs of corrosion, discoloration, or low pressure, a remodel is a great opportunity to repipe and start fresh with modern materials.
