Douglas's crew arrived one work day after our original date due to a winter storm delay at the job before ours. One man immediately measured where each hole around the house perimeter would be dug while the crew unloaded a large number of foot-long cement cylinders and their tools.
About six laborers started digging 4X4x4 square holes at each marked location. The digging was all done by hand, and a tarp or sheet of plywood was placed next to each hole for the dirt removed. I was amazed at the speed and efficiency of the men digging the holes. Almost all of the19 holes dug through dirt were completed on Day 1.
On the first day they also started driving the concrete cylinders into the bottom of the holes. This was the scary part, as they used a hydraulic press to drive the cylinders down, and the press was braced against the bottom lip of the foundation. When the last concrete cylinder required 10,000 psi to go deeper, they stopped. However, in some places, the cylinders stalled with as little as 6,000 psi of pressure. When that happened, and it did probably a dozen times, the foundation would "shiver" or "burp" as the cylinder refused to go down further. We could feel each of those from inside the house.
On Day 2 the crew began jack-hammering out the concrete in our driveway, back patio and front porch for four more holes, and taking boards off the back deck for one more hole. By the end of Day 2 all the holes were dug and all the 46 concrete piers were in place going down 7 to 12 feet under the foundation.
On Day 3 a different man came whose job was to use the computerized level and direct the actual foundation leveling process. Working in four to six holes simultaneously, the crew would crank small hydraulic jacks in unison under the direction of the man in the house who watched and listened to the walls, rafters, doors, countertops, and seams in that part of the house. My wife called him the "house whisperer" after he asked her to take the telephone elsewhere to answer a call so he could hear any popping or cracking. We were very impressed with this gentleman's slow methodical process. He took new readings on his level repeatedly as he and the outside crew worked together in their coordinated effort to slowly raise the different sections of the foundation, without bringing on undue stress that would crack walls, plumbing, or the granite countertops that line one exterior wall in the kitchen. This gentlemen encouraged us to be present in the room with him and kept us in the conversation to decide when the foundation had been raised as far as it was safe to go in each area.
The upshot of the leveling process is that our foundation still has a slight downward slope from the center of the house in a couple of areas, but those slopes are well within the acceptable range, and not now noticeable. The sheetrock cracking was not worsened, and we are waiting another few weeks to have a painter repair and repaint the cracks. One inside and all three exterior doors are noticeably more level.
The last part of the work was for a plumber, who Douglas selected, come out and test for new plumbing leaks. He did that by plugging our sewer line, taking a commode off, and filling all the pipes under the foundation with water from the faucets. He then simply watched the water level in the commode pipe to see if it dropped over a thirty minute time of observation. We were nervous about this part, and greatly relieved that the water level remained constant - no leaks under the slab!
The plumber also had to add an extension to the steel gas line pipe at the meter as we raised the level of the house at the spot where the meter sits outside the house. The work on the gas line was $170 at our expense, not part of the contract with Douglas.
On Day 3 the crew refilled the holes in the dirt, but had to return on Day 4 to repair the concrete holes in the driveway, front porch, and patio, and replace the wooden deck board
All work went well. Our only minor issue was that my wife was not overly pleased with how the digging crews handled the shrubs and rose bushes they had to remove and replace. Otherwise, the crews were very diligent and helpful.
As a point of interest, each day all but one of the crew spoke only Spanish, and one day the only English speaker on the crew was a digger and not the foreman. So on that day, when I had questions regarding the varying psi points at which they stopped driving each concrete stack of cylinders, I had to speak through an interpreter to the foreman. But that was not a problem.
I was surprised at the number of different employees of Douglas who worked in different capacities on our job. Each specialized task was done by a different man who was here just for that part of the job. To me that reflected a professional firm that knows the value of experience at the key points of the job, especially the man who was the "house whisperer" and led the actual raising and leveling segment of the work.

"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 sewer line repair projects in Lockhart, TX
The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.
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.
You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.
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.
