Our Sewer & Drain Services in San Marcos

From emergency sewer backup to routine drain cleaning, we handle every sewer and drain need for homes and businesses in San Marcos, TX.

Sewer Line Relining

Professional CIPP relining to rehabilitate cracked, root-damaged, and leaking sewer lines from the inside. The epoxy-saturated liner cures in place and restores structural integrity without digging.

Clogged Drain Repair

Stubborn drain clogs require professional tools and expertise. We identify the clog location and composition, clear it completely, and recommend prevention strategies to keep your drains flowing.

Sewer Line Cleaning

Thorough sewer line cleaning to remove grease, sludge, roots, and mineral deposits. We use hydro jetting and mechanical cleaning to restore full flow to your main sewer line.

Commercial Drain Cleaning

Professional drain maintenance for commercial properties of all sizes. From restaurant grease lines to warehouse floor drains, we keep your business draining properly with scheduled and emergency service.

Drain Snake Service

Commercial drain snaking for residential and commercial properties. Our motorized cable machines clear roots, grease, and debris from drain lines up to 100 feet or more from the access point.

Drain Cleaning

Expert drain clearing for every type of clog. Our technicians diagnose the blockage location and severity, then use the most effective cleaning method to restore full drainage flow.

Drain Repair

Drain pipe repair that addresses the root cause, not just the symptom. We camera-inspect, identify the failure point, and repair or replace the damaged section for lasting results.

Storm Drain Cleaning

Preventive storm drain cleaning that protects your property from water damage during heavy rainfall. We remove leaves, silt, and debris that block drainage and cause pooling and flooding.

Sewer Line Repair

Professional sewer line repair for cracks, leaks, offsets, and root damage. We diagnose the problem with camera inspection and use the most effective repair method — traditional or trenchless — to restore your sewer line.

Sewer Cleanout

We install and service sewer cleanouts to provide direct access to your main drain line. Essential for properties without existing cleanout access, older homes, and properties with recurring issues.

Sewer Backup

Fast sewer backup cleanup and repair. We clear the blockage, sanitize affected areas, and diagnose the cause to prevent future backups. Available around the clock for emergencies.

Hydro Jetting

Professional hydro jetting that removes everything from your pipe walls — tree roots, hardened grease, calcium buildup, and years of accumulated debris. Restores full pipe capacity in a single visit.

Sewer Line Installation

Professional sewer lateral installation with proper slope, bedding, and municipal tie-in. We handle permits, excavation, pipe laying, inspection, and site restoration from start to finish.

Sewer Line Replacement

When your sewer line is beyond repair, we replace the entire run from house to main with durable modern piping. Includes permits, inspection, and backfill with compacted material.

Emergency Drain Service

Emergency drain problems need immediate attention. We dispatch experienced technicians with commercial equipment any time — day, night, weekends, or holidays — to resolve your drain emergency fast.

Trenchless Sewer Repair

Minimally invasive trenchless technology repairs cracked, root-damaged, and deteriorating sewer lines from the inside. No trenching, no landscaping destruction, no lengthy restoration projects.

Sewer Camera Inspection

Non-invasive sewer camera diagnostics using waterproof HD cameras. We record footage, mark problem locations, and provide you with a detailed report of findings and repair options.

Grease Trap Cleaning

Scheduled grease trap cleaning and emergency service for restaurants and food service operations. We pump, clean, and inspect your grease trap to prevent backups and maintain code compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about sewer and drain services in San Marcos, TX.

Does homeowners insurance cover sewer line repair in San Marcos, TX?

Most standard homeowners insurance policies in San Marcos do not cover sewer line repair due to normal wear and aging. However, sudden damage from events like tree root intrusion or ground shifting may be partially covered. Some carriers offer sewer line endorsements. We help San Marcos homeowners understand their coverage and provide documentation for claims that do apply.

How much does sewer line repair cost in San Marcos, TX?

Sewer line repair costs in San Marcos typically range from $1,500 to $5,000 for standard residential repairs and $5,000 to $15,000 or more for full replacements. Factors include pipe material, depth, length of damaged section, and whether trenchless methods can be used. We provide free camera inspections with detailed, written estimates before any work begins.

How do you diagnose sewer problems in San Marcos without digging?

We use a specialized waterproof camera that is inserted into your sewer line through a cleanout. The camera transmits real-time video that shows us the exact location and nature of any blockage, crack, offset joint, or root intrusion. This lets us recommend the most cost-effective repair for your San Marcos property without any excavation.

Will drain cleaning damage my pipes in San Marcos?

Professional drain cleaning by trained technicians will not damage your pipes. Our San Marcos crews select the appropriate equipment for your pipe material and condition — cable machines for tough clogs, hydro jetting for buildup, and gentle methods for older or fragile pipes. We always inspect before cleaning to avoid unnecessary risk.

What causes recurring drain clogs in San Marcos homes?

Recurring clogs in San Marcos homes are usually caused by grease buildup inside drain lines, tree root intrusion into sewer pipes, pipe bellies or offsets that trap debris, or undersized plumbing. A sewer camera inspection identifies the root cause so we can fix the real problem, not just clear the symptom temporarily.

Can tree roots damage my sewer line in San Marcos?

Absolutely. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in San Marcos, TX. Roots seek out moisture and can penetrate tiny cracks or joints in sewer pipes, eventually causing blockages and pipe collapse. Our crews remove roots with hydro jetting and can reline pipes to prevent future intrusion.

What Our Customers Say

Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers say.

★★★★☆

"Good service for a bathtub drain clog. The tech used a drain snake to pull out a nasty hairball, then flushed the line to confirm good flow. Quick visit, reasonable price. Would call again."

— Wayne Pilkowski
★★★★★

"Our kitchen drain had been slow for weeks. The technician used a camera to find a grease buildup about 30 feet down the line, then hydro jetted the whole thing. Drains faster than it has in years. Great service."

— Patricia Kowalski
★★★★★

"The trenchless repair saved our front yard. We were dreading having to dig up the entire lawn but they pulled a liner through the existing pipe and it was done in one day. Could not even tell they were there."

— Kenneth Pratt
