Professional Drain Cleaning

Slow drains and recurring clogs are more than a nuisance — they’re a sign of buildup that won’t go away on its own. Our professional drain cleaning services safely remove grease, hair, soap scum, food waste, and debris to restore proper water flow and prevent future blockages. We service kitchen drains, bathroom drains, floor drains, laundry drains, and main sewer lines.

Drain Services

Hydro Jetting — High-Pressure Drain Cleaning

For stubborn or recurring blockages, hydro jetting delivers a far more thorough clean than standard snaking. Using high-pressure water streams, our hydro jetting service blasts away grease buildup, sludge, mineral scale, root infiltration, and debris — leaving your pipes clean from wall to wall. It’s the preferred solution for commercial kitchens, grease traps, and heavily scaled residential lines.

Drain Services

Sewer Camera Inspection

Not every drain problem is visible from above. Our sewer camera inspection service uses advanced video equipment to locate blockages, cracks, root intrusion, pipe collapse, and other hidden problems deep inside your plumbing system — without unnecessary digging or guesswork. Camera inspections are recommended before sewer line repairs, after major clogs, and as part of any home purchase due diligence.

Repair & Replacement

Sewer Line Repair & Replacement

Sewer Line Repair

A damaged sewer line can cause sewage backups, foundation damage, yard erosion, and serious health hazards if left unaddressed. Our sewer line repair team is equipped to handle cracks, corrosion, root intrusion, joint failures, and partial pipe collapses — using both traditional excavation and minimally invasive methods where appropriate.

Sewer Line Replacement

When a sewer line is too damaged or degraded to repair effectively, full sewer line replacement is the right long-term solution. We provide complete replacement with modern, durable pipe materials — installed with minimal disruption to your property. Learn more about sewer line replacement

Emergency Sewer Repair — 24/7

Sewer backups and overflows are health emergencies. Woods Comfort Systems provides 24/7 emergency sewer repair and same-day drain service throughout Central Texas. If sewage is backing up into your home or business, call us immediately — we respond fast. Contact our emergency plumbing team

Root Intrusion Removal

Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in Central Texas. As roots grow into pipe joints and cracks, they can cause severe blockages and structural pipe damage. We provide both root removal and permanent repair solutions to stop root intrusion from returning.

Commercial Drain & Sewer Services

We serve restaurants, retail centers, office buildings, and multi-family properties throughout Central Texas. Our commercial drain cleaning and commercial sewer repair team understands the higher-volume demands of commercial plumbing — and we work efficiently to minimize downtime.

Sewer Line Repair vs. Replacement: How to Decide

Not every sewer problem requires full line replacement — but delaying a needed replacement can lead to far more costly damage. Here’s a quick comparison to help you understand your options:

Consider Repair If…
Consider Replacement If…
Damage is isolated to one section of pipe
Damage extends through most or all of the line
Pipe material is still structurally sound
Pipe is corroded, collapsed, or severely root-damaged
System is under 20–25 years old
Cast iron or clay pipes nearing end of lifespan (40–50 yrs)
No recurring backups in recent seasons
You've experienced repeated backups or multiple failures
Repair cost is reasonable vs. pipe condition
Repair cost approaches or exceeds replacement value

Our plumbers will give you an honest assessment — including a sewer camera inspection to show you exactly what’s happening inside your pipes. Call us to schedule a sewer inspection.

Standard Drain Cleaning vs. Hydro Jetting: What's the Difference?

Both services clear blockages, but they work differently and are suited for different situations:

Standard Drain Cleaning (Snaking)
Hydro Jetting
Uses a mechanical auger/snake to break up clogs
Uses high-pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) to flush pipes
Best for: hair, debris, soft blockages
Best for: grease, scale, roots, recurring buildup
Good first-line solution for most residential clogs
Preferred for stubborn, recurring, or commercial clogs
Lower cost for routine clogs
Higher upfront cost, longer-lasting results
Does not clean pipe walls
Cleans pipe walls completely — like new

Not sure which your situation calls for? We diagnose first, then recommend the right approach. Call us to schedule a drain service.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drain & Sewer Services

Recurring drain clogs are usually a sign of deeper buildup in your pipes that standard drain cleaners can’t reach. Common causes include accumulated grease, hair, soap scum, mineral deposits, and — in older systems — tree root intrusion. A professional drain cleaning or hydro jetting service removes the source of the problem rather than just breaking it up temporarily.

Sewer odors coming from drains typically mean one of three things: a dry P-trap (the curved pipe under your drain) that’s lost its water seal, a cracked or broken sewer line, or a blocked vent pipe that’s allowing sewer gas back into the home. A dry P-trap can often be fixed by running water; the other causes require professional diagnosis. Sewer gas can be hazardous — don’t ignore persistent odors.

Hydro jetting is a professional drain cleaning method that uses high-pressure water — up to 4,000 PSI — to completely clear pipes of grease, scale, roots, and debris. It’s recommended when standard snaking hasn’t resolved a recurring clog, for commercial kitchen grease lines, or as a maintenance treatment for older drain systems. The results are far more thorough and longer-lasting than mechanical snaking alone.

The most common signs are multiple drains backing up at the same time, sewage odors inside the property, sewage appearing in your yard, unusually lush patches of grass over your sewer line, and foundation settling or cracks. A sewer camera inspection is the only reliable way to confirm a sewer line problem — and it shows you exactly what needs to be fixed.

The most common causes in Central Texas include tree root intrusion, soil shifting (especially in clay soils during drought/rain cycles), corrosion in older cast iron or clay pipes, grease and debris buildup leading to pressure and joint failures, and physical damage from excavation or construction. Many sewer line problems develop gradually over years before causing visible symptoms.

It depends on the material. Cast iron pipes typically last 50–75 years but are prone to rust and corrosion. Clay or Orangeburg pipes have a shorter lifespan and are more vulnerable to root intrusion and collapse. Modern PVC and ABS pipes can last 75–100 years with proper maintenance. If your home was built before the 1980s, a sewer camera inspection is a smart precautionary investment.

A standard single-drain cleaning typically runs $100–$250. Main sewer line cleaning ranges from $250–$500. Hydro jetting services run $350–$700 or more depending on line length and condition. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins — no surprises.

Yes. Woods Comfort Systems offers same-day drain cleaning and 24/7 emergency sewer service throughout Central Texas. Call us and we’ll get a plumber to you as quickly as possible.

Chemical drain cleaners can dissolve minor organic clogs but are often ineffective against deeper blockages, root intrusion, or structural pipe issues. Worse, they contain harsh acids or alkalis that can corrode your pipes over time — especially older metal pipes. For recurring clogs or any symptom involving multiple drains, a professional drain cleaning service is always the safer and more effective solution.
