I found the number for Ward's on the internet and placed a call to them on Friday morning. I spoke with Jack Ward. He said he was booked through Saturday but could make arrangements to take a look on Sunday Morning at 9:30 AM. We agreed on the time and when Sunday came I received a call about 8:30 AM from Jessica Ward, Jack's daughter saying he was running about 1 hour late and ask if that was still alright with us or did we want to reschedule? We said the time change was OK. About 10 AM Jack arrived and told me what he thought the problem was but would not be able to tell for sure with out digging up the drain pipe from the septic tank to the drain field . He told me that with the age of the system that pipe most likely was collapsed in some areas or there were roots in the pipes. He also explained that because of the age of the system other things could be wrong but he suggested we start there. Jack gave me a price and told me that he could come back with an excavator and a crew about 2 PM. The arrived on schedule with the excavator and a pump truck. Jack and son Gus in a pick up pulling the excavator and daughter Jessica (co-owner of the business I found out later) driving the pump truck (a big Chevy F750 / 15 ton truck) which she handled like it was a Honda Civic. Jessica backed the truck up to the tank and prepared to pump it down so the could work on the drain line without spilling any of the contents. Jack and Gus unloaded the excavator and while the tank was being pumped down, they located the exit side of the tank and drain line. Once the tank was at a safe level they started uncovering the drain line. It was just as it had been described, collapsed pipe in some areas, some of with cracks and clogged full of roots. They continued digging until the found good pipe without roots. The removed the damaged pipe, made a materials list of a few items needed that they did not have on their truck, They went to pick up the items a local big box home center and were back in about 1/2 hour. With all of the supplies on hand they got to work to make the repair. Jessica was in the hole, measuring, cutting pipe and making the repair. Gus kept her supplied with materials and Jack watched and stayed out of way. As soon as the repair was finished the started to back fill the trench, pick up debris and and clean up. They left the area clean and neat, taking the damaged pipe and roots that were dug up with them. They worked quickly and as a well oiled team. I was very impressed. Even for the type of work they were doing they all were neat and presentably dressed. Their equipment appeared well kept. The Ward's were very professional workers and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Be careful...They are more fixated on selling an Angi contract than fixing your plumbing issues. Had to hire another plumber to fix our problem. Paid for 2 plumbers and it was a simple fix.
After getting about 6 quotes , we hired Ed to install new kitchen faucet, ro system, soap and modified plumbing to fit new sink and install dishwasher and gas stove. Ed was great and took his time to get things done just right and to our satisfaction. When an issue arose, he carefully...

Great! Very professional. Did not get as much water pressure as they thought was needed in the time they had alloted so they charged me less than the usual service call amount and were to call me back to schedule another visit. They did not call back but the water pressure is much better than...

Our plumbing started to back up in the house on Thursday. I called several local septic service providers and seemed to get the run around... "I am busy, can I call you back in 5 minutes or 1 hour, etc." and I never received a return call from any of them. I found the number for Ward's...

"Elderly Abuse …. Run I woke up to a leak in my front yard as I headed out of town. My wife called Roto Rooter as she left for work to come give us a quote. They said they only needed someone there to greet them when they arrived. So we had my 85 year old, legally blind, suffering from dementia mother, who lives next door, meet them outside so they could begin with their estimate. They never called us for a quote. Instead he replaced one section of pipe (which was only 4 ft. long), and a shut off valve (which he said was broken but was not) and charged a whopping $6,500. He walked next door and demanded payment from my blind mother. NO APPROVAL WAS GIVEN!!!! NO PHONE CALL WAS MADE!!! My mother, who isn’t mentally with us anymore, gave them her credit card and boom…… $6,500. We didn’t get a new water heater or a new sprinkler system. We got one 4 ft. section of pipe for $6,500 and a shiny new on/off valve which was not needed. That guy new what he was doing. He didn’t call us for a reason. He took one look at my blind old mom with dementia and charged whatever he wanted. He left us an arbitrary bill I could hardly read with little to no specifics. I have attached…. When I called the manager he did return half of the amount. It sounded like we were making progress. I still asked for an itemized receipt so I could see how 4 ft. of pipe and a valve would cost $3,250. If I stayed in town this repair would have cost me a total of $75 dollars in materials. He said he would get that itemized receipt and then has ghosted me ever since. I have reached out on numerous occasions. This company did not have permission to do $6,500 or $3,250 worth of work on my property. They were called for an estimate and took advantage of my elderly, blind, dementia plagued mother to run up a huge bill that no one can explain. They demanded that my mother, who isn’t the homeowner, pay $6,500. My wife waited by her phone all day for an estimate that never came. This is morally and ethically appalling at every level. Just for reference, we had our foundation lifted for $9,000 last year. They dug under the house in several areas and lifted it. This guy wanted about the same for replacing a 4 ft. section of pipe. How is this real????"

FAQs for affordable plumbing projects in Granite Shoals, TX
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.
Typically, plumbing repairs cost about $325 per job but can range from $175 to $4,000 or more. Simple fixes, such as a toilet repair, will be less expensive at around $150 to $400. However, if you have a pipe that has burst, you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $4,000 or more.
The project that needs to be completed, the size of your home, and the type of plumbing pipes you have can all impact the final cost. External factors such as supply chain issues and shortage of materials all play a part in how much this repair might be.
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
