Hester Plumbing works Bullard from 17490 US-69 in Tyler, about fifteen minutes north on the same highway. Bullard splits into two very different kinds of plumbing. New subdivisions off FM 344 and around Madison Crossing need rough-in, top-out and trim-out on a builder's schedule. Older homes, lake property near Lake Palestine and houses on septic need repair work instead: cast-iron drains that have scaled shut, grinder pumps, field lines, and gas runs for pool heaters and fire pits.
Recent jobs include a gas line tie-in on Roebuck Drive for a pool heater and fire pit, rough-in for a new cottage near Christy Court, a full trim-out on Madison Crossing, septic field lines on Lake Road, a grinder pump on South Todd Street, and a cast-iron drain descaled on Fairway Drive. Every photograph and video below comes from one of those jobs.
New construction runs in three visits. Underground rough-in goes in before the slab is poured. Top-out follows once framing is up. Trim-out comes last, after paint, when fixtures and valves are set. Builders schedule the three phases separately, so call with the lot address and the phase you need.
When every drain in a house runs slow, and not just one fixture, the problem is usually the main line rather than the traps. In older homes with cast-iron drains, scale builds on the pipe wall until the opening is a fraction of its original diameter. Descaling cuts that back and restores the existing pipe. A camera inspection shows whether descaling is enough or the line has failed.
Outside the city limits, plenty of Bullard property runs on septic rather than city sewer. A plumber handles the house side and the line out to the tank. Property sitting below the sewer main, common around Lake Palestine, cannot drain by gravity, so a grinder pump lifts waste to the main. An alarm, or sewage at the lowest fixture, means it has stopped.
Gas work is licensed work in Texas and has to be pressure tested. A job like the Roebuck Drive tie-in combines the meter connection, a fireplace valve and a stub-up for a fire pit ring.
