I am in awe of just how wonderful mother modern plumbing company was. From the first person to the last person you guys are professional, efficient, honest, and speedy. Not only things that make a great business, but their team also has integrity and heart. Dustin, Steven, Jerry, and connor plus the excavating team went above and beyond the scope of their required jobs. They were there to fix a leak under our foundation that had been quoted a ridiculous number by another company so we went with Mother after they came out to do a second opinion with no fee. They also helped me install a showerhead and filter that has been sitting in my home for over a year. Then after all the work was done at the end of the night Connor saw myself and my 78 year old grandmother struggling to move some furniture offered to assist us. The kicker was during a follow up call to see how the job went and I mentioned in passing that my daughter's bday was that day. THEY SENT HER A GIFT FOR HER BDAY. No one does that! Mother modern does tho! I have already recommended mother modern plumbing to 3 people one of which just had a leak happen a few days ago.

We used Mother Plumbing to repipe our entire home from cast iron to pvc as well as to fix a slab leak for a family of 7 home. Both were costly and worrisome. We couldn’t be happier or feel safer with any other company. From beginning to end Mother has proven their reliability, honesty, extensive knowledge and troubleshooting skills. Not only have they done impeccable work, but their work ethic, personal and social responsibility standards that they uphold is beyond anything we’ve ever seen or experienced from any company we’ve worked with. There are no tricks, no games, what they say is exactly what they do and charge, there are no added fees after the fact. We had several unplanned situations come up and they worked quickly and didn’t upcharge a single thing they quoted from the first estimate. We’ve worked with Colton, Stephen and Jerry and they are transparent, skilled and extremely diligent. I will only be recommending Mother Modern Plumbing from now on. They are a rare and incredible company. Thank you for making a very hard situation manageable in so many ways and keeping our family safe!

SND Plumbing is fantastic! And working with Steve was great. We had a sewage line break in the front yard. Steve came out and found the break in short order. He then gave me the option of digging the hole to get to it and save $1,300. So, I did it which was great. They then came out and made the repair and filled in the hole at no additional charge which was awesome! Steve and SND will be our plumbers going forward!

I dealt with several people during my project. Everyone was so kind, and professional. They explained the problem well and gave me options to fix it. Once we had a plan they jumped on it and got it done quickly. I’m so glad I chose to work with them.

Steven put the new sewer lines for converting septic to city. The process went smooth. He was patient to explain all of our questions and concerns. Based on this experience, we had him work on other things at home. Highly recommend Steven for any plumbing needs!

Best Service we have ever had. They had to re-do our entire plumbing. We have only been in the house for less than 4 months. What they found was horrible. Their honesty was amassing. The pictures/video showed everything. I would recommend these folks absolutely 💯.. Thank you Mother Plumbing team!!

For someone with enough plumbing experience of installing one sink faucet, SND plumbing was a blessing to my wife and I. It all started with the gurgling of the toilet, then the sewer backed up, shower back up. We hired three plumbers before calling SND all to have the problem coming right back after just a few weeks. SND was the only one that finally took the time, investigated and worked with us to determine the real cause. We had to replace our entire plumbing system underneath the foundation, and SND did a wonderful job. Five major wins I'd like to point out when we worked with Steven at SND: 1) Punctual. Steven showed up when he said he would. Sent communications and quotes to us when he said he would. 2) Patience. Steven took the time to explain everything in detail, answered all the questions in detail so we had a clear picture of what was going on, and the best and worst-case scenarios. 3) Honesty. Steven could have patched up something or gave us a temporary solution and make a quick buck. But instead, he strongly nudged us to get a foundation inspection first to help identify the true cause of the problem. He wanted to FIX IT for the next 15+ years instead of just something temporary. 3) Considerate. Not only it was a messy job to us and the tenants (trenching, digging, crawling under the foundation, all while it was raining), there were hours where we couldn't turn on the water or flush the toilets. Steven worked with us and my tenants closely to make sure we knew what to expect and when, so we could plan accordingly ahead of time. 4) Fair pricing. We did compare different quotes. SND's pricing was very reasonable 5) Confidence. By interacting with SND ahead of the project, it gave us the confidence that they were the right choice. SND is also confident with the quality of their work, so they applied many years of warranty to this large project. Thanks Steve and SND!

Rick came out to help us with a problem we were having, and he was able to quickly identify what the issue was. He explained the issue, and the work needed to remedy. I had not heard of Mother Modern Plumbing until the other day, but I’m happy to have them in supporting our needed work!

We recently used Mother Modern Plumbing for a yard sewer repair and we were very impressed with their professionalism, efficiency and fair prices. Steven arrived on time, clearly explained the issue and provided me an estimate. The job was completed on one day, it required lots of digging and the weather was cold about 34. This was our first time using them but it won’t be the last.

I had to have all of my cast iron drains replaced ☠️ As of this review all of the plumbing is completed in just under 1 week, pending the backfill. Everyone I worked with including Steven, Tyler, the excavation crew and Joe and Tyler were great to work with. They were extremely patient with my questions, thorough with information and even fixed some other minor plumbing work not directly related to the drain pipe issue before they left. Everyone worked hard, showed up on time, and were as clean as possible given they had to be laying in mud most of the time. I really appreciate everyone's hard work and dedication. You may finder lower quotes but I couldn't expect any better of care and work than what I received and that matters. Overall 5 stars to Mother Modern Plumbing......but 0/10 recommend buying a house with cast iron drain pipes in DFW 😂😭

Want to give a HUGE shoutout to Matthew Silkwood and Jesse Crane! Through the year into our house, we bought for the history of the neighborhood and the architecture. Trying to keep the house in shape I’ve learned to keep one thing to keep in mind, picking businesses who you are going to keep in your back pocket because the integrity and the immense knowledge they carry. Plumbing issues are aren’t fun, Jesse came out and made it easy to digest information and adding to our knowledge of home owning. Showed me every crevasse of our plumbing and highlighted areas of repairs and sat us down and built a plan. You can tell this business adds value from treating you with a welcoming smile and clean look to getting to see the dirty and destruction of your plumbing issues. Truly amazed how easy this was. Mothers are your people you rely on. 10/5 stars

And Josh came out to my house and asked her plumber anyway my worst nightmares came to light it's an old house in Farmers Branch built in 69.He confirmed it was the cast iron pipes that corroded. I feel confident and he was very knowledgeable for what I need to do next. The company was great punctual on time and friendly recommend them highly

We have lived in our home for 10 years and we knew one day sadly our cast iron would have to be replaced. I noticed more and more homes having this process done. When our home failed a pressure test for foundation adjustment, I started looking into companies to inspect the old system with a camera, all showed and I saw failed cast iron pipes. The next step was getting bids, OMG sticker shock, once we we reviewed our proposal's and understood the scope of work, the choice wasn't hard. Mother was the one we chose. Jessie was understanding and very knowledgeable and worked with us on the final price. My wife and I were really amazed with how fast they started digging, the dig crew were really good, very professional and very hard working. Jerry the plumber and his helper Conner, were unbelievable with the amount of time they put in everyday redoing all the sewer lines on our home. Jerry is dedicated to a standard of workmanship that you don't run into much these days, sadly. When Jerry was finished with his part the dig crew, Castillo Excavations, were amazing to watch them reverse the dig out process. What dirt didn't go back in was removed from the job site, not my headache thank God. Overall these guys were a good choice and yes it was more than I wanted to spend, but no regrets. Thank you Mother

Water backing up through your guest bath floor drain turns hosting out-of-town guests into a crisis. Raw sewage in your home creates health risks and stops normal life until it's fixed.
Mother Modern Plumbing provides camera-verified diagnosis before any repair recommendation. We identify the exact problem - root intrusion, soil-shifted pipes, or joint separation - and match it to the right solution. No repeat visits, no drawn-out saga. Just results that last decades.
Call Mother 24/7 to protect your sewer line and reset its lifespan.
Warning Signs That Demand Professional Assessment
Certain symptoms point to main line problems rather than simple clogs. Recognizing the difference saves you from wasted service call costs and delayed repairs.
Symptoms That Indicate Structural Damage
Clear a sewer blockage with professional snaking or hydro jetting, and it stays clear. But structural damage- bellied pipes, separated joints and corrosion- require targeted action.
Watch for these patterns that indicate a damaged or broken sewer line in your yard:
- Multiple fixtures draining slowly at once - indicates main line restriction
- Gurgling toilets when the shower runs - signals venting problems from partial blockage
- Sulfur smell in lower levels - suggests active leak or breach
- Recurring clogs in the same location - points to structural issue, not debris
Chemical Drain Cleaners Make Your Problems Worse
Caustic drain chemicals attack pipe walls already weakened by soil stress. They do nothing against root intrusion or bellied sections.
Homes built in the 1980s and early 1990s around Southlake Boulevard often have clay or cast iron lines. Chemical cleaners can transform a repairable section into a full replacement job. Skip the hardware store solution and get a camera inspection instead.
Saving A Homeowner From Structural Damage
On the surface, one Southlake homeowner’s drainage issue seemed simple: slow drains in the kitchen sink and a stoppage in the kitchen line. Mother was called in to remove a sewer blockage with professional augering equipment.
Upon arrival, we prepared for a sewer camera inspection to ensure proper diagnosis of the issue. The homeowner was hesitant, and we understood- nothing’s more frustrating than a plumber trying to upsell. We reassured him the inspection was built into our service fee.
We’re so glad we did the inspection. We were able to show the homeowner video proof of a backfall in the home’s sewer pipe. This means the pipe is slanted uphill away from the home instead of downhill- an installation error that causes repeat wastewater backup into the home.
We submitted a fixed-rate quote to repair and properly align the affected pipe area. This will restore proper flow away from the home for good- and stop the cycle of repeat sewer cleaning costs that don’t address the real problem.
Southlake's Clay Soils and Live Oaks Stress Sewer Lines
The ground beneath your Southlake home works against your sewer line every season. Tarrant County's expansive clay soils shift constantly between drought and saturation. During dry stretches- like a recent 67-day rainless stretch- clay shrinks and creates voids beneath your pipes. When rain returns, that same soil swells and pushes pipes in the opposite direction.
This back-and-forth movement separates joints and cracks pipe walls over time. Homes in Vaquero, Clariden Ranch, and the older sections near White Chapel sit on this same challenging clay soil.
How Soil Movement Damages Pipes Beneath Slabs
If your home was built after 1980, it was built on a concrete slab. Southlake’s slab-on-grade construction means your sewer line runs directly underneath that concrete through the soil. No crawlspace, no easy inspection access.
When clay movement creates a bellied section or pulls a joint apart, you won't see it. The damage stays hidden until symptoms show up inside your home: slow drains that don't respond to clearing, gurgling sounds from toilets, and sewage backups in your downstairs bath drains.
Live Oak Root Intrusion in Established Neighborhoods
Your Southlake yard is defined by mature Live oak trees. They’re beautiful- but their root systems aren’t.
Live oak roots spread 15+ feet from the trunk of the tree, and they’re thirsty. Any available moisture and organic material will do. This makes even a hairline crack in your sewer line a massive target for roots to penetrate and exploit.
Neighborhoods like Estes Park and the streets surrounding Bob Jones Nature Center feature mature live oaks with decades-old root systems. These roots naturally graft to neighboring trees underground, creating networks that can reach pipes from surprising distances.
Camera Inspection Reveals the Full Picture
Attempting sewer line repair without a clear picture of the damage- and the underlying cause- is wasted time and aimless digging.
Mother’s process begins with advanced sewer camera inspection equipment to determine the exact location, damage type and severity of the issue- all before a decision is made. Then, we show you the footage to help inform your decision.
What the Camera Shows
Every root cause of sewer damage looks different on camera footage. Root intrusion appears as fibrous masses clustered at joint locations. Bellied pipes show standing water pooled in low points. Total collapses look like complete obstruction with visible soil inside the pipe. Joint separation shows gaps between pipe sections.
Each diagnosis leads to a different repair pathway. Root intrusion in one joint might need spot repair. A 30-foot bellied section requires different treatment than a localized collapse.
This is why diagnosis before digging is vital to Mother’s repair process.
Sensible Trenchless Sewer Repair Options
Our modern repair methods restore your sewer line through minimal access points. The right choice depends on damage scope, pipe condition, and your property's specific layout.
Homes in Carillon and along Continental Boulevard often feature extensive hardscape and mature landscaping worth protecting.
CIPP Lining Creates a New Pipe Inside the Old One
Cured-in-place pipe lining works like this: An epoxy-saturated liner enters through an access point. The liner inflates against existing pipe walls. Heat or UV light cures the epoxy solid. The result is a seamless new pipe inside the old one.
CIPP seals cracks, bridges joint separations, and blocks root re-entry. No trenching through your driveway or outdoor living space.
This does reduce the interior diameter of your pipe by roughly ¼ inch. If you’re holding off for future repairs, CIPP lining is a great short-term fix. If you’re living with these results for the next 20 years, it’s not always the best long-term decision. Talk to us before you decide.
Pipe Bursting Replaces Severely Damaged Lines
When damage exceeds what lining can fix, pipe bursting offers an alternative to full excavation. A bursting head pulls new pipe through the existing line while fracturing the old pipe outward.
This method requires two small entry and exit pits - not a trench across your entire yard. It’s an excellent way to establish a new sewer pipe along the existing path without disrupting your expensive landscaping, concrete hardscaping or custom driveway.
When Traditional Excavation Is Required
Some situations require open-trench access: completely collapsed sections, severe bellies that can't be lined, or damage directly beneath structures or pools.
Honest assessment identifies these situations before work begins. You deserve to know upfront if trenchless methods won't work for your specific problem.
Understanding Sewer Line Repair Costs in Southlake
Sewer line repair costs range from targeted spot repairs to full replacements. Understanding what drives pricing helps you evaluate options.
What Affects Your Cost
Southlake code requires sewer lines buried at minimum 12 inches below grade. Slab foundation construction makes access to these areas more difficult, which affects labor pricing.
Cost variables include linear footage of damaged section, depth of the line, access obstacles like driveways or patios, and pipe material and condition.
The Right Method Matches Your Situation
Trenchless methods cost more per foot, but eliminate landscape restoration expenses. Traditional excavation costs less for the pipe work itself, but adds restoration costs afterward.
There’s no “universal best practice” for Southlake sewer repair. Custom solutions must be offered for the unique layout and sewer map of each home. A contractor pushing one approach regardless of your specific damage pattern isn't serving your best interests.
Preventing Future Sewer Line Problems
Once your line is repaired, protective measures reduce the chance of repeat failures. These add-on protective and maintenance options ensure your new line lasts 50+ years.
Root Barrier Installation
Physical or chemical root barriers installed during repair create a zone that live oak roots won't penetrate. This protection matters more in established neighborhoods near Southlake Town Square where mature trees dominate the landscape.
Scheduled Camera Inspections
Annual or biennial camera inspection identifies developing issues: root regrowth at previous intrusion points, new soil movement effects, and joint stress from seasonal clay expansion.
Catching problems early means repairs on your schedule - not emergency calls on a holiday weekend.
Southlake Permit Requirements
You’re flying out of town for work on Monday- there’s no time to waste tapping your toes at City Hall. Mother handles all permit acquisition and inspection scheduling for residential sewer service in Southlake.
Southlake enforces specific requirements for permits under the 2021 International Plumbing Code: 12-inch minimum sewer depth below grade, 4-inch granular bedding for plastic pipe installation, and 85% compaction to 6 inches above the pipe.
These standards protect your repair long-term. Compliance also protects you from liability if problems arise later.
