I first contacted the company because we had a toilet that was not flushing properly. Sergio arrived onsite and tried multiple approaches to address the issue. After trying several things, he recommended that we put a camera into the pipes to see what was blocking the flow. His snake would only go so far and there was definitely a block. He and David arrived the following Monday with the camera and with the camera and visuals from Sergio under the house, we were able to see multiple issues. First, when Sergio got under the house (pier and beam), he immediately saw a break in the sewer line and then he moved with the camera under the house communicating with David in terms of what he was seeing. A busted pipe at the kitchen sink and multiple other issues considering 94 year old cast iron pipes under the majority of the home. Sergio was top notch in addressing the issues, photographing and taking video at each point along the way under the house. Both he and David definitely know plumbing as we watched them interact to discuss what each were seeing in the camera and under the house, discussing possible approaches for the job, and trying to figure old were sewer lines were located, etc. The assessment was that we needed to replace the cast iron pipes and this certainly was an unexpected expense. David was extremely detail oriented about the work, outlining the various options and potential issues we might encounter. He gave us worst case scenario and best case. We received a quote in less than 24 hours. David walked us through the work and even contacted our neighbor to explain to her in detail the potential work in her backyard and why access might be needed and the steps they would take to minimize damage to her yard. He promised her that he would follow-up once the work was started to make sure she understood exactly what was happening and why and to make sure all her questions were answered. Less than a week later, David and Sergio brought in a team and they moved through the work very quickly and efficiently. David understood the potential impact of us possibly having to leave the home, board five animals, etc., so he brought in extra guys to get the work done as quickly as possible which we appreciated. In the end, we did not need to go into our neighbors yard for the work. I called her to give her that update and she said - oh David has already called me to let me know. I was so impressed with this level of follow-up and detail. I have been singing Southern Plumbing's praises because we are so pleased especially with a job that quite frankly was overwhelming for us in terms of being completely unexpected, the sheer scope of the work and impact to our lives. Thank you David and Sergio. You guys are the best. If you want the best - go with Southern Plumbing hands down.

I drove to the office of Milton Frank Plumbing to order this job in person in order to make sure that the plumber who responded to our house had the right equipment to perform our job. Specifically, I advised that the responding plumber would need an extension for the standard 100 foot long snake that the plumbers typically carry on their trucks. The reason for this was that the clogs that have occurred in our sewer line in the past have typically been located between 105 - 110 feet down the sewer line and the standard 100 foot line is insufficient to reach this area. I say this as someone who has experienced numerous clogged sewer lines after living in this house for 24 years and knows where the problem areas are located. I advised the office staff not to send a plumber to our house without the snake extension.
The plumber arrived at our house at which time I asked him if he brought the extension for the snake as I had requested. He advised that he did NOT bring the extension. I advised him that he was wasting our time at which time he advised me that he could call for another truck to bring a snake extension to us. He further advised that he would start the job because there was a very good chance that the extension would not be necessary.
The plumber ran the snake down the main line and was unable to clear the drain. He then advised me that the snake was inside our septic tank, and that any further attempts would risk breaking the snake. I knew that this was not true because a 100 foot long snake is incapable of reaching our septic tank. I requested that the plumber continue to try to clear the drain. The plumber advised me that he could not risk breaking the snake because he would have to pay for it if it broke. The plumber then contacted his supervisor by cell phone. I personally spoke to the supervisor and advised him that a plumber could break a cable anytime they cleared a drain and that this was not a valid excuse to walk away from a job. I guess the supervisor agreed, because he actually drove to our home to investigate the situation. So now we had the original plumber, the second plumber who delivered the snake extension, and the supervisor, all deliberating whether or not they could risk breaking a snake cable to clear our drain. The supervisor then correctly determined that the snake was NOT inside the septic tank, and ordered the plumbers to attach the extension snake to the 100-foot snake and to continue snaking the drain. The plumbers attached the extension, ran it down the drain, hit the clog right where it always has been, between 105 -110 feet away, and cleared the drain.
Milton Frank Plumbing was ready and willing to leave our house without clearing our sewer line because they were worried about damaging an easily replaceable snake line. It took the intervention of a supervisor to prevent this. It turned out that there was no risk to their equipment whatsoever. It is absolutely astonishing that this company would ignore my very specific instructions, even after I walked into their place of business and explained the history of our drain problem to them in terms that a 5-year old could understand.

Shawn and Laurin patiently waited and worked with us on the design and answering our questions from April 2012 (when we first contacted them) until January 2013 when the work began. We had other work that needed to be done before they started (downspouts and sewer line). They always answered our questions or addressed our concerns quickly and never blinked when we made last minute changes. Shawn was always available by cell, SMS text message, email, Facebook, or Twitter. Probably the most electronically connected contractor out there. When we had a sprinkler fail, Shawn was out the next morning to fix it. When we had two plants struggling, Shawn came out the same day (Saturday) to adjust the watering level. We're impressed with the sophistication of irrigation controller they installed (its current capability and its ability to expand to 16 zones and a weather station), the high-end nature of the RPZ (backflow preventer), and the use of 8 irrigation zones on a relatively small lot to provide ultimate control and flexibility for watering. Ravenscourt even ran a zone for a future hedge in a location that needs one. Their choice of a new type of St. Augustine (Amerishade) was genius for our shady backyard. Overall it was a near perfect experience working with Ravenscourt Landscaping and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Hired Prominent Plumbing to replace galvanized pipes to PEX as well as total replacement of sewer lines. They were prompt and did an exceptional job. They are the only plumbers I hire. Love them!
We first called on Saturday night. Gerald was on call & from the description, he suspected it was a sewer line situation. He said he would come if we wanted but it would be OK to wait 'til Monday if we wanted to avoid $200 surcharge. We were glad that he was able to talk us off the ledge. We...

"I purchased my first water softener and reverse osmosis water purifier 18 years ago when we first built our house. We loved both! But nothing lasts forever and both needed to be replaced.

FAQs for sewer line repair projects in Tomball, 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.
