West University plumbing, done with a camera before a shovel.

West University Place and Rice Village pack decades of housing into a few square miles: 1920s cottages, 1990s rebuilds and brand-new two-stories, often on the same block. Royal Flush Affordable Plumbing serves all of them from our Braeswood location, with a camera inspection before anyone quotes a sewer repair.

What we see in West University

What we see most in West U.

Three calls that account for most of our visits here.

Roots in the sewer lateral

Mature trees and old clay or cast iron laterals. A camera shows exactly where the roots are coming in.

Slab leaks on rebuilt lots

Many West U rebuilds sit on slabs over shifting clay. A warm patch of floor or a jump in the water bill is the tell.

Heaters at end of life

The 1990s and 2000s rebuilds are now on their second or third water heater. We repair when it is worth it and replace when it is not.

Why West U calls us

Small lots, big trees, old sewer laterals.

West University’s mature oaks are part of its charm and the main reason we spend so much time here with a camera reel. Roots find their way into aging clay and cast iron sewer laterals, and the result is the same story every time: a slow drain, then a backup, then a cleaning that lasts a few months. We locate the intrusion exactly, from above ground, and repair the section rather than digging up a lawn that took years to grow.

The rebuilt homes have their own issues, usually water heaters reaching the end of their life and fixtures that were never quite installed right. Whatever the age of the house, you get a licensed plumber, a upfront price and a repair that is tested before we leave.

  • Locate before you digThe camera head carries a transmitter, so we mark the spot and depth from the surface.
  • Roots cleared, not just cutHydro jetting flushes root mass out of the line instead of leaving it to regrow.
  • Minimal disruptionOne targeted excavation, restored afterward, instead of a trench across the yard.

How a West University call goes

What happens after you call from West U.

A plumber answers, a stocked truck leaves Braeswood, and you see the price before any work.

Sewer backing up again?

Repeat backups are a line problem, not a clog. Ask for a camera inspection instead of paying for the same cleaning twice.

Still not sure? Call and describe the problem. We’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a 20-minute fix or a job worth quoting.

Ask a plumber: 281-612-1015
01Do you cover Rice Village and Southside Place too?
Yes. West University Place, Rice Village, Southside Place and the Museum District are all a short run from our Mockingbird Circle office.
02Will a sewer repair wreck my yard?
Not with a camera first. We locate the damaged section and its depth from above ground and open one spot, then restore it. A full trench is the last resort, not the first.
03How do I know if I have a slab leak?
A water bill that jumps with no change in use, a warm spot on the floor, the sound of running water when nothing is on. Call and we will locate it before anything is opened up.
04Is the price the same as in Houston?
Yes. West University is part of Houston to us: upfront pricing and no hidden charges.
Camera first, then a plan
