Sewer Line Replacement in Houston TX

Many older homes in the Houston area were built with cast iron pipes that will corrode, leak, and break over time. This will cause many problems for the homeowner. Not only could you experience a foul smell and problems with your home’s drainage, but eventually your foundation could sustain some degree of damage as well.

How Do I Know if I Have Problems with My Sewer Pipes?

An odor may be the first thing you notice, but hopefully we get to the pipes before it gets to this level of damage. Thousands of homes in the Houston area that are over 45 years old have cast iron sewer lines running under their foundations. Over the years these pipes corrode, deteriorate, crack, and begin to leak, causing water to flow freely under the slab. This leakage softens the dirt and erodes the soil under the central areas of the structure. While this occurs under the home, the house begins to sink towards the interior, causing structural damage.

The solution to fixing foundation leakage is not easy, but the experts at Allied Foundation don’t mind the messy work that comes with this dirty job. Allied Foundation offers a free video inspection that sends a small self-leveling camera through your drain lines. This gives our technician a “real-time image” to identify leaks, cracks, or damage. This non-invasive inspection gives us the ability to accurately diagnose the condition of the pipes and calculate the scope of sewer line replacement.

In other words, we can determine exactly where your problem is, so we can fix it in the minimum time possible and at the least cost to you.

At Allied Foundation, we specialize in total sewer line replacement in the homes located in Houston and surrounding areas. We tunnel under the existing foundation to access and disconnect all damaged and deteriorated cast-iron pipes. Then our experienced staff proceeds to replace the cast iron pipes with brand new PVC pipes. The new PVC piping is anchored to the slab and angled to allow for positive flow to the main drain. This process is completed in two to three days.
