Austin drain cleaning
Most Austin homes will need a drain cleaning at some point. Best to have a name in your phone before you do. We work clean, leave the area better than we found it, and stick around to test the repair before we drive off.
What we cover
Drain cleaning sits between simple kitchen-sink clogs and full sewer-line replacements. We do everything in between: tub drains, laundry standpipes, kitchen sinks, toilets, and main lines.
First call is always cable (also called snaking). For most kitchen and bath blockages, a cable hits the obstruction and clears it. Cost: $145 to $340 depending on access.
If the cable doesn't clear it — common with grease accumulation in older kitchen lines, or root invasion in main sewer lines — the next step is hydro-jetting at 4,000 PSI. That actually scours the pipe rather than punching a hole through the clog. Cost: $480 to $950, often with a camera inspection thrown in.
The camera tells you whether you have a recurring problem (cracked tile, belly in the line, foreign object) versus a one-off clog. It's worth doing on a third call to the same drain — that's when something structural is usually behind the clog.
Price expectations
Kitchen sink cable runs $135 – $315. Toilet auger runs $165 – $240. Main sewer line cable runs $220 – $495. Hydro-jet + video camera inspection runs $440 – $875. Camera-only inspection runs $165 – $260.
