Drain Cleaning in South Austin

South Austin's older neighborhoods sit on some of the city's earliest sewer infrastructure — and that means drain issues are a regular fact of life. Bull Plumbing handles drain cleaning, sewer line inspections, and complete drain repairs across South Austin with the equipment and experience that older homes demand.

Drain problems we solve in South Austin: Slow drains in kitchen, bathroom, or laundry. Multiple drains backing up simultaneously (often a main line issue). Toilets gurgling when other fixtures run. Sewer smell in the yard or basement. Tree root intrusion in older clay sewer lines. Grease buildup in kitchen drains. Repeated clogs in the same drain.

Our equipment: Power augers for kitchen/bathroom drains, hydro-jetting for serious blockages and grease, video camera inspection for diagnosing the actual problem before we recommend a fix. We don't guess and we don't upsell — if a $200 snake job fixes it, we do the $200 job.

Why South Austin homes have more drain problems

A lot of South Austin (78704, 78745, parts of 78748) was built before 1980, when cast iron and clay sewer lines were standard. After 50+ years, those lines crack, settle, and become highways for tree roots. Even newer South Austin builds frequently have aggressive landscaping (live oaks, mountain laurel) whose roots are notorious for invading sewer connections.

We start every difficult drain with a camera inspection so you can see exactly what's happening — no surprises, no overselling. If clearing the line is enough, we clear it. If you need a section replaced, we show you the footage and quote it before any digging starts.
