Emergency Plumbing Services in Mission Hills,Ready 24/7

Three things keep coming up. Galvanized pipes losing pressure as they rust shut from the inside. Cast iron drain lines cracking or corroding at joints after 40 plus years, which causes slow drains and sewer odors. And slab leaks caused by pipe stress from the clay soil shifting under foundations. All three tie back to the age of the homes and the ground they sit on.

In homes this age, it often points to a cracked cast iron drain line under or inside the slab. Even a hairline crack vents sewer gas into the house. A missing or dried-out P-trap under a rarely used fixture can do it too. We check both with a camera inspection and a smoke test if needed, so you know exactly where the smell is coming from before any work starts.

It depends on how much of the original galvanized is left. If most of the house still runs on 1970s or 80s pipes, patching one leak at a time ends up costing more over a few years than replacing the problem lines all at once. We can show you which sections are worst and give you a price for a partial or full repipe so you can compare.

No. Mission Hills is on the east side, well inside our standard San Antonio service area. You get the complete price in plain terms before any work starts, and what we quote is what you pay.
