Replacement services in Terrell

In Terrell we focus on replacement work in an older, small-city housing stock: sewer lines, cast iron drains, PEX water lines and slab leaks. Every price below is published, and every quote is in writing.

Tunneling $425 per foot, open trenching $180 per foot, access holes $1,150 each. Trenchless pipe bursting may be used on a yard line when the old pipe is still round and the route is open. Under-slab work is tunneled from outside so floors stay intact.
Cast iron drain replacement under the slab
Cast iron drains under the slab are replaced with PVC by tunneling from outside.
PEX only: $1,050 per fixture drop on a slab, $500 on pier and beam. Yard water lines typically cost $3,500–$4,500.
Located, then repaired, rerouted in PEX, or included in a repipe.

Terrell homes and neighborhoods

The Census Bureau's ACS 2024 5-year estimates put the median year a Terrell housing unit was built at 1984, with about 44% of units built before 1980 and about 57% before 1990. That is a much older mix than in nearby boomtowns such as Forney.

Downtown Terrell grew around the railroad and U.S. Highway 80, which still runs through the center of town. Interstate 20 passes along the south side. The older residential streets around downtown, and the mid-century houses that filled in through the 1960s and 1970s, are where we most often find original laterals and under-slab drains. Newer growth has been added, but it has not replaced that older core.

Terrell sits on the Texas Blackland Prairie, east of Dallas and south of I-30. Shrink-swell clay is typical in Kaufman County and is hard on older sewer joints and slab plumbing. Nearby cities we also serve include Forney, Mesquite and Sunnyvale.

What a Terrell homeowner owns

The City of Terrell Utilities Department provides retail water and wastewater service and maintains the public mains. The sewer service line from the house to the city's connection, and the water line on the house side of the meter, are typically the property owner's, including the pipe under the slab. Confirm the exact split with the city if a break is in the street or alley. If several neighbors back up at once, call the city's utilities department first.
