Repaired Broken Drains under concrete slab foundation 05.06.26

A homeowner in Burleson, TX called Dependable Plumbing after noticing slow drains throughout the house and a faint sewer smell with no obvious source. When Don traced the symptoms, the cause was the original cast iron drain line failing under the slab foundation — corroded through in multiple sections with joints that had lost their seal. Rather than break up the slab, we tunneled down to the failed section, removed the bad cast iron, and rebuilt the line with new PVC sized for the existing system, then pressure-tested the connection before backfilling. If you're seeing slow drains, sewer odors, or damp spots on your slab, call us at 817-447-2654 — we answer the phones 24/7 and we've been doing under-slab work across South DFW since 1985.
