Sewer line repair for Austin homes — camera inspection, root intrusion clearing, and sewer line repair across Travis County. Call (512) 444-4444 to schedule service. Cedar and oak root intrusion into clay-tile and cast-iron sewer lines is a known issue in established Austin neighborhoods — camera inspection shows the condition before it becomes an emergency.
Drains gurgling in multiple rooms at the same time — or a smell coming from the yard you can't explain. That's your sewer line telling you something's wrong, and it doesn't get better on its own.
Cedar and oak root intrusion into clay-tile and cast-iron sewer lines is a known issue in established Austin neighborhoods including Cedar Park, South Austin, and East Austin. A cracked sewer line under your yard can collapse completely. Austin's clay soil shifts seasonally, which stresses sewer line joints in older installations. Camera inspection shows the condition before it becomes a full emergency.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes sewer line problems in Austin?
The most common causes in Austin are tree root intrusion from cedar and oak trees, aging clay-tile or cast-iron sewer lines in older neighborhoods, and ground movement from Austin's clay soil. Camera inspection shows the exact condition of the line.
How do I know if I have a sewer line problem?
Signs include multiple slow drains at the same time, gurgling sounds from drains or toilets, sewage smell in the yard or near floor drains, and wet spots in the yard with no rain. These symptoms together point to a main sewer line issue.
How much does sewer line repair cost in Austin?
Sewer camera inspection runs $150–$300. Hydro jetting for root intrusion runs $300–$600. Spot repair of a cracked section runs $500–$2,000 depending on depth and access. Full sewer line replacement runs $3,000–$8,000+ depending on length and method. We present the full scope and price before any work begins.
Can tree roots really damage my sewer line?
Yes. Cedar and oak roots in Austin suburbs actively seek moisture and can enter sewer lines through small cracks or joint gaps. Once inside, roots grow and eventually block the line or crack it further. Camera inspection shows the extent of root intrusion before it becomes a complete blockage.
What Austin Homeowners Say

"Kitchen drain was completely blocked. They came out, diagnosed it as a grease buildup 20 feet down the line, and cleared it the same day. Explained exactly what they found. Fair price, no upsell pressure."
Todd M.

"Water heater stopped heating on a Thursday. They had a replacement installed by Friday afternoon. Walked me through the options without pushing the expensive unit. Exactly what you want from a plumber."
Carrie B.
Round Rock
"Noticed my water bill jumped by $40 in one month. They found a slow slab leak under the master bathroom. The detection process was thorough — moisture meter, pressure test, the whole thing. Leak fixed, bill back to normal."
