Get Started

Sewer RepairArlington, TX

Emergency Sewer Line Replacement

The Problem

A homeowner noticed sewage backing up into their home after heavy rain. Our camera inspection revealed a 60-year-old clay sewer line had completely collapsed in the yard between the house and the street, leaving the family without functional plumbing.

Our Solution

We showed the homeowner the camera footage first, so they understood exactly why a full replacement — not a spot patch — was the right call. We excavated the failing 65-foot run, replaced it with new schedule-40 PVC, handled the permit and city inspection, and restored the surface over the trench.

The Result

Full sewer flow was restored, and the new line is built to last for decades. We backfilled and graded the yard back once the city signed off on the work.

“Ernie's showed me the camera footage, explained exactly what was wrong, and had my sewer working again fast. No surprises on the bill.”
— Greg P., Arlington

RepipingFort Worth, TX

Whole-Home Repiping

The Problem

This 1970s Fort Worth home had original galvanized steel pipes that were severely corroded. The homeowners were dealing with low water pressure throughout the house, rusty discolored water, and pinhole leaks appearing every few months.

Our Solution

We performed a complete whole-home repipe using PEX tubing with a centralized manifold system. Every supply line from the water main to each fixture was replaced, and we added shutoff valves at each fixture for easy future maintenance.

The Result

Water pressure was fully restored to every faucet and shower. The discolored water issue was completely eliminated, and the manifold system gives the homeowner individual fixture control.

“We lived with bad water pressure for years thinking it was normal. The difference after repiping is night and day — like a brand new house.”
— Jennifer & Mark L., Fort Worth

Water HeaterDallas, TX

Tankless Water Heater Upgrade

The Problem

A family of six in Dallas was constantly running out of hot water with their aging 50-gallon tank heater. Morning showers were a race, and running the dishwasher at the same time meant cold water for everyone else.

Our Solution

We installed a Navien NPE-240A condensing tankless water heater with a dedicated recirculation loop. The system provides instant hot water at every tap and can handle multiple simultaneous demands without any drop in temperature.

The Result

The family now has endless hot water regardless of demand. Their gas bill dropped roughly 30% compared to the old tank unit, and they reclaimed the closet space where the old tank sat.

“Six people, two showers running, dishwasher going — and the water never goes cold. Should have done this years ago.”
— The Rasmussen Family, Dallas

Slab Leak RepairGrand Prairie, TX

Emergency Slab Leak Repair

The Problem

A homeowner noticed a warm spot on their floor and a water bill that had doubled overnight. Our electronic leak detection traced the source to a pinhole leak in a copper supply line running beneath the home's concrete slab foundation.

Our Solution

Rather than jackhammering the entire slab, we pinpointed the exact leak location and rerouted the affected line through the attic, bypassing the failed section under the foundation. This minimized disruption and avoided major concrete demolition.

The Result

The leak was eliminated and water service fully restored the same day. The homeowner's water bill returned to normal the following month, and the reroute carries a long-term warranty.

“I thought a slab leak meant tearing up my whole floor. Ernie's rerouted the line and saved me thousands. Honest and fast.”

Gas Line RepairMansfield, TX

Gas Line Repair & Code Upgrade

The Problem

The owners of an older Mansfield home smelled gas near their water heater. Our technician confirmed a leak at a corroded fitting and found that the aging gas line no longer met current code, posing a safety hazard.

Our Solution

We shut off the supply, replaced the corroded section, and upgraded the affected gas line to modern, code-compliant materials with new shutoff valves. The entire system was pressure-tested and inspected before being returned to service.

The Result

The leak was fully resolved and the home's gas system brought up to code. The family has peace of mind knowing every connection was tested and certified safe.

“They took the gas leak seriously and walked me through every step. Ernie's made sure everything was safe and up to code before they left.”

Commercial PlumbingGrapevine, TX

Commercial Plumbing Overhaul

The Problem

A busy Grapevine restaurant was experiencing recurring drain backups during peak dinner hours, and their commercial water heater was failing to keep up with demand. They had already failed one health inspection due to inadequate grease management.

Our Solution

We hydro-jetted the entire main drain line to clear years of grease buildup, installed a properly sized commercial grease trap, and replaced the failing tank water heater with a high-capacity commercial tankless system that handles peak restaurant demand.

The Result

The restaurant has had zero drain backups in over 12 months since the overhaul. They passed their next health inspection with a perfect score, and hot water supply is no longer an issue even during the busiest Friday night service.

“We were losing customers over slow service caused by plumbing problems. Ernie's fixed everything and we haven't had a single issue since. Worth every penny.”
— Carlos M., Restaurant Owner, Grapevine
