Prior to purchasing our home one year ago, we called Y to have them pump and inspect the septic. We lived out of town, so weren't there to observe. So, one month later, we called them back over to show us where the lid was located, as the soil in the backyard hadn't been disturbed. We just wanted to know where to find our septic system as the plat wasn't specific. Our house is on a unique property, not a cookie-cutter lot. Y couldn't find it again. Fast forward one year. Toilets were overflowing in the house, so we needed help. Y told us to call their friend at X Plumbing. X sent cameras down the pipes from the roof and told us we had a broken terra cotta pipe from the house to the septic and it needed to be replaced. He also found the septic lid and said it had been "years, if ever" since it had been dug up. (He later denied ever saying that, but I took a video of his conversation with me while he dug.) Upon opening the lid, he discovered septic didn't have a Sanitary-Tee. At this point, we weren't impressed with Y, so we decided to call Blount and start all over. Blount's septic team and plumber (a Blount employee) were faster, better communicators and PROVED they did what they also showed needed to be done, using a camera and video. They installed a "Sanitary-Tee" that should have been installed years ago, but Y never mentioned it when they supposedly drained and inspected the tank a year ago. (Y said on their receipt that the septic was "in working order.") Blount also showed us we didn't need a "broken, terra-cotta pipe" replaced from the house to the septic as X recommended; that pipe is a high-quality PVC and is in perfect condition. Blount will definitely have our business in the future.

A different plumber from the one who quoted the job came to do the work, and he actually did more than the original quote, BUT still only charged us what was quoted. He said he had a better solution for the exterior drain, instead of into the garage which is Code, but not really "nice".

They were very nice and professional when I called and were very prompt on calling me when on the way to my house so that I could meet them there. I was needing the pipes to my hot water heater raised about 18 inches so a contractor working for me could build a platform for the heater and connect it to the drain, so I also needed the drain checked. The guy arrived and he checked the drain right off and we found it was clear of debris and water was able to drain. He then went over exactly what I was requesting and gave me estimate of $235.00 and would take about 1 hr to do the work. Though I thought this was a bit high, I needed the work done, so I signed on the dotted line. While I'm working about the house, about 15 minutes later he tells me he is finished....hmmmm. I looked in the closet and it looked like all he did was add an 18 inch flex pipe to my pipes and this was it. I told him I didn't think this was right and that he was supposed to move the pipes in the wall up 18 inches. He said that what he did would allow my water heater to be raised without a problem, but because it didn't take him long, he would take off some of the price and my final price for 15 mins of work was $186.00....still pretty expensive. Well my contractor arrived next day to do his work and was not able to do anything because what the plumber did was not correct....as I had thought. He called the plumbing company several times that day and the guy finally called him back about 2:30 and said he couldn't come back to my house till 10:30 the next day, so arrangements were made for them to meet the next day. Plumber and contractor talked and contractor told him exactly what was needed, which was just what I had told him myself. Plumber then did some figuring and said they usually charge $53 as overtime fee, but he would not charge me this and it would only cost me $212.00 to have this done. Now remember I had already paid $186.00 to have this done. Well, my contractor set him right and told him I was not going to pay for this becasue I had already paid and if he had done what he was supposed to do none of this would be having to be done now. After a bit of arguing, the plumber said he would do the work and charge me for material only, which amounted to $36.00. If I had not had contractor there with me, the plumber would have charged me again, to correct something that he should have done right the first time. Granted, the man was always very polite and respectful to me, I felt that I was being taken advantage of and I'm glad I had contractor there to stand up for me and get the matter settled."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/temple/speedy-rooter-reviews-5614987.htm"},"position":10}]}

FAQs for drain pipe installation projects in Hewitt, TX
The regulations around whether drain pipe installers need to hold licenses or certifications differ based on where you live and the type of drain pipe installed. Municipalities have varying rules and regulations about who can and can’t perform plumbing work. However, we recommend hiring a certified plumber to install or modify your drain lines. Licensed plumbers will perform a high-quality, professional installation, which translates to a lower risk of clogs and leaks in the future. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm the license status of your potential plumber before hiring them to install your drain pipe.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Plumbers will typically take one to two hours to install a new drain pipe, but that timeline can vary based on the area’s accessibility, the drain length, and the type of drain line. Replacing an easily accessible p-trap under a sink could take as little as a half an hour, while replacing a larger section of drain line behind the wall could take as long as three to four hours. When hiring a plumber for your specific installation, ask them to provide an estimated timeline to get a more accurate assessment.
You might need a permit to modify or repair any portion of your plumbing system, including drainage lines, depending on where you live. In some areas, simple replacements of existing drain lines don’t require a permit. We recommend asking your drain pipe installer or your local building department about permitting requirements. In many cases, only certified plumbers can pull plumbing permits, so you’ll usually need to leave the permit application to your professional. The fee for the permit will be passed to you on your project bill, though.
We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
