Water Filtration SystemsTD Plumbing Solutions installs new sewer lines for homes in Benbrook and Greater Fort Worth, whether the old line has failed end to end or a remodel needs a new run.
A new sewer line is laid in a trench with a steady downhill slope, called fall, so waste keeps moving. Terrill plans the route, sets the pipe on a firm bed of soil, adds cleanouts for future access and tests the line. The city inspects it where required before the trench is filled.
Most people need a new line when the old one has failed in too many places to patch. Others need one for a remodel, like adding a bathroom. Either way, the slope and the joints decide how well it works.
Patching one spot just moves the problem.
A new line may cost less over time.
Pipe from the 1950s and 60s is near the end of its life in many homes.
New fixtures need drain pipe sized and sloped to reach the main line.
Without one, every clog means pulling a toilet.
A belly, a dip where waste sits, can't be cleaned away. The pipe must be re-laid.

Clay soil across Benbrook and Fort Worth is the main reason bedding matters here. It shrinks in drought and swells when wet, and pipe laid on loose fill will sag. A new line needs a firm, even bed so it keeps its slope for years.
Weather matters too. Clay turns to mud after a storm and bakes hard in summer, so Terrill will tell you if a forecast may push your start date.
TD Plumbing Solutions in Benbrook installs new sewer lines across Greater Fort Worth. Terrill Dobbs, a Texas master plumber, plans the route, lays the pipe himself and has the line inspected where required. You get the full price before digging, with Hearth financing available.
Replace it when damage runs along much of the pipe, when you're repairing the same line every year or two, or when a long sag can't be fixed in one spot. If one section is bad and the rest is sound, a repair is usually better value.
PVC is the usual choice. It's smooth inside, so waste flows easily, and it won't rust like the cast iron in many older Fort Worth homes. Laid on a firm bed with steady fall, it handles North Texas soil movement well.
It varies. The line has to slope downhill all the way from your house to the city tap, so it often gets deeper toward the street. Terrill checks the depth at both ends before he plans the job, and depth is one of the main things that shapes the price.
Your water supply usually stays on, but you can't use drains while the old line is cut out and the new one tied in. Terrill tells you when that window starts and roughly how long it lasts, so you can plan showers, laundry and meals.
A cleanout is a capped opening that gives a plumber straight access to your sewer line. With one, clearing a clog later is quicker and cheaper, and nobody has to pull a toilet. A new line is the easiest time to add one, so Terrill plans them in.
Most cities require a permit and an inspection for new sewer work, and the trench stays open until the inspector signs off. Rules differ between cities around Fort Worth, so check with yours. Terrill will tell you what he expects your job will need.
Once the line passes inspection, the trench is filled and packed down. Soil may settle a little over the next few weeks, especially after rain. Terrill explains what to expect for your lawn, walkways and beds before the job starts, so there are no surprises.
