Slow drains and backups in East Austin usually trace back to clay and cast iron sewer lines under century-old pecans and live oaks, the highest root-intrusion territory in the city. We clear the clog at its cause instead of punching a hole through it, and if the line itself is the problem we show you on camera before you decide anything. East Austin is down I-35 or 290 from our shop.
East Austin has some of the city's oldest housing stock, 1920s to 1960s bungalows and ranch homes, alongside new infill construction on the same blocks. Under those homes run clay and cast iron sewer lines under century-old pecans and live oaks, the highest root-intrusion territory in the city. Add hard water on plumbing that in places is older than the people who own it, and every drain narrows a little more each year.
That is why a cable machine alone rarely solves a East Austin clog for good. We match the method to the line: a cleanout for a simple stoppage, hydro jetting when grease, scale, or roots have taken over the pipe wall, and a camera inspection whenever the same drain keeps coming back around Cherrywood, Holly, Govalle, Windsor Park, and Mueller. You see the price before we start.
East Austin is the historic neighborhoods east of I-35, from Holly and Cherrywood out past Mueller and Windsor Park. Around Cherrywood, Holly, Govalle, Windsor Park, and Mueller, these are the calls we get most.

We generally advise against it. Chemical cleaners can damage certain pipes and usually do not remove the underlying cause, like grease buildup or roots. A professional cleanout is the safest path to a lasting fix.
Only if it does. A standard cleanout handles most single-fixture clogs. Hydro jetting earns its keep on recurring clogs, greasy kitchen lines, and roots, which are common with clay and cast iron sewer lines under century-old pecans and live oaks, the highest root-intrusion territory in the city. If a camera inspection shows the line itself has failed, we show you the footage before recommending anything else.
It depends on the job, but we believe in transparent, upfront pricing. For many services we can give you a ballpark estimate over the phone, and you always see the price before any work begins. No upsell pressure.
