Find our vans in these River Oaks neighborhoods
River Oaks
Located in northwest Tarrant County near the Naval Joint Reserve Base and just off Roberts Cut-Off Road, River Oaks is known for its 1950s ranch-style homes and mid-century residential architecture. The area experienced significant development during the 1950s when water and sewer systems were completed and streets were paved. Homes here often experience hard water issues and scale buildup due to the area's moderately hard water supply, as well as potential slab leaks and foundation settling common to homes built on this era's construction standards. We frequently help homeowners with water heater replacement, slab leak repair, and whole-house water softening solutions.
Sansom Park
Situated southwest of River Oaks near Highway 199 and Biway Road, Sansom Park features predominantly quaint 1950s and 1960s ranch-style homes on modest lots. This established neighborhood's aging housing stock often experiences issues related to cast iron sewer lines and older plumbing infrastructure prone to root intrusion and corrosion. We frequently help homeowners with drain cleaning, sewer line repair and replacement, and whole-home pipe replacement.
River District
Located north of downtown Fort Worth along the Trinity River and accessible via White Settlement Road, the River District features a mix of midcentury ranch homes and newer construction. The neighborhood's diverse housing stock—ranging from 1950s-1960s original builds to contemporary renovations—means residents may encounter both vintage plumbing challenges like pinhole leaks in older copper lines and modern efficiency upgrades. We frequently help homeowners with water leak detection, tankless water heater installation, and comprehensive plumbing inspections.

Common Q’s about Mother
What should I do in a plumbing emergency?
If you have a burst pipe or a major leak, your first step is to turn off your main water shutoff valve. If you smell gas, leave the house immediately and call 911. For rapid response, call Mother Modern Plumbing at 817-905-6513. We provide same-day emergency service across the DFW Metroplex with no after-hours upcharges. While you wait, open cabinet doors under sinks to protect pipes in the winter and use towels to prevent water from reaching your subfloor.
What is trenchless sewer repair and does it work?
Trenchless sewer repair is a modern method that allows us to fix or replace your pipes without digging up your yard or driveway. We use two main methods: pipe lining, where a new resin liner is placed inside your old pipe, and pipe bursting, where a new pipe is pulled through the old one. These methods are much faster than traditional digging and come with a 20 year warranty. Trenchless is a great solution for many DFW homes, though extremely damaged cast iron may still require traditional excavation.
Are you licensed and how can I verify?
Mother Modern Plumbing is led by Responsible Master Plumber Steven Smith, License #RMP-43457. This license is issued by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners and can be verified by calling (512) 936-5200 or visiting tsbpe.texas.gov. Every technician we send to your home is licensed, background-checked, and drug-tested. We also offer a 6 year bumper-to-bumper warranty on our work, which is the strongest guarantee in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
You should generally replace your water heater if it is over 10 years old, as North Texas hard water significantly shortens the lifespan of the tank. If the tank is leaking or you see rusty water, replacement is necessary. We recommend a repair if the unit is under 6 years old and the issue is a simple part like a thermostat or heating element. Most repairs cost between $200 and $600, while a new installation starts at $1,450.
Is Dallas–Fort Worth water hard?
Yes. Water in the DFW Metroplex is classified as hard to very hard, with measurements ranging from 150 to 220+ ppm depending on your city. This hard water creates mineral scale that can shorten your water heater's life by up to 4 years. A whole-home water softener typically costs $2,000 to $4,000 installed and can save DFW homeowners over $1,500 a year in energy, soap, and appliance repair costs.
How much does drain cleaning cost?
Professional drain cleaning at Mother Modern Plumbing costs $299. This fixed price includes up to 100 feet of sewer cleaning, a high-definition camera inspection with footage for your records, and a 120 day no-clog guarantee. For severe blockages involving heavy scale or roots, we offer hydro jetting services ranging from $950 to $1,800 depending on the access method required.
How do I know if I have a slab leak?
The most common signs of a slab leak in North Texas include an unexplained spike in your water bill, warm spots on your floor, or the sound of running water when your faucets are off. You may also notice cracks in your walls, damp flooring, or a persistent moldy smell. Dallas–Fort Worth homes built on slab foundations with copper pipes are especially vulnerable due to our expansive clay soil. Mother Modern Plumbing uses electronic and thermal imaging to find these leaks without needing to jackhammer your floors for a diagnosis.
Do I need to replace my cast iron sewer pipes?
If your DFW home was built before 1980, your cast iron pipes are likely approaching the end of their 50 to 75 year lifespan. You should consider replacement if you deal with recurring clogs, slow drains throughout the house, or foul odors. In the DFW Metroplex, our shifting clay soil causes cast iron to crack and fail faster than in other regions. Mother Modern Plumbing replaces these failing legacy systems with Schedule 40 PVC, which is designed to last 75 to 100 years.
How much does water heater replacement cost in Dallas?
A standard tank water heater replacement in Dallas typically costs between $1,450 and $2,800 installed. For homeowners looking to upgrade to a tankless system, installation costs range from $6,000 to $12,000 depending on gas line requirements and venting. Mother Modern Plumbing provides same-day installation and a 6 year minimum warranty. We also offer water heater leasing options starting at just $60 per month.
How much does sewer line replacement cost in Dallas–Fort Worth?
Sewer line replacement in DFW generally costs between $5,000 and $12,750. The final price depends on the method used. A localized spot repair typically runs $3,750 to $6,750, while a partial replacement costs $6,800 to $13,000. For complex jobs requiring tunneling under a slab foundation, costs can range from $22,250 to over $40,000. Mother Modern Plumbing uses Schedule 40 PVC for all replacements to ensure a 50 to 100 year lifespan and we include a 20 year warranty on our work.
