I called again a few days later after doing some research about water heaters. The woman that answered the phone became evasive when I asked for a detailed quote. She would not give me any specifics about the replacement unit, only that it had a six-year warranty and would cost around $1000. I decided to look for a company that would deal with me in a straightforward manner and asked her to cancel my appointment. Yesterday we received a bill in the amount of $95 for an ?Estimate Fee?! The appointment at our house lasted only a few minutes and they also refused to send us a detailed written estimate. The bill states: ?Leak at the water heater lines. Water heater is about 10 years old, suggested to customer to replace the water heater. Gave estimate for a new water heater $995. Estimate Fee $95. Please Mail Check.? Although I cannot review Jeff?s based on work that was done, I wanted to caution other members that this company did not give me the impression that they are honest or trustworthy.

4 years ago, we had an emergency need to take care of: a collapsed sewer line. Fixing that required digging a trench through the whole house from bathroom to bathroom. Bill Murray of Mesa Home Improvements came and gave us a price for remodeling both bathrooms. The work was impeccable! ...
Plumber arrived on time, performed the work as requested, gave an accurate quote. Knowledgeable, friendly, and explained the repair. Would hire again.

I called Jeff?s Westside Plumbing to repair a leak at our water heater. The plumber looked at our unit and said that the repair would likely damage the water heater. He told us that we should instead replace it since it was already 10 years old and that this would cost around $1000. I...

FAQs for sewer line repair projects in Socorro, 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.
