Drain Cleaning in Schertz, TX
Most Schertz homeowners call about drains when they're already backed up — a kitchen sink that won't drain, a shower that's pooling water, or a toilet that's slow to flush. Hard water from the Edwards Aquifer leaves mineral deposits that narrow pipes over time, and older homes often deal with root intrusion in the sewer line.
We handle both the simple clogs and the deeper issues. For slow drains caused by soap scum or grease buildup, a drain snake or hydro-jet cleaning clears things out fast. For recurring backups, we run a camera to find out what's actually causing the problem — whether it's a partial blockage, a bellied pipe, or roots growing into the line.
We give you a clear quote before starting any work. If it's a simple clog, we'll tell you. If something more serious is going on, we'll show you the camera footage and walk you through the options.

Signs Your Drain Needs Professional Cleaning
Standing Water
Water pooling in your sink, tub, or shower and draining very slowly is a sign of a partial or complete blockage.
Gurgling Sounds
Gurgling from drains or toilets when you run water elsewhere often indicates a blockage in the main line.
Multiple Drains Backing Up
When more than one fixture backs up at the same time, the blockage is likely in the main sewer line, not a single drain.
Bad Odors
Foul smells coming from drains can indicate trapped debris, a dry P-trap, or a deeper issue in the sewer line.
Recurring Clogs
If the same drain clogs repeatedly despite clearing it, there's likely an underlying issue that needs a camera inspection.
Toilet Overflow
A toilet that overflows or barely flushes may have a clog in the trap or a blockage further down the drain line.
Frequently Asked Questions
The most common cause in Schertz is mineral scale from hard Edwards Aquifer water narrowing the inside of pipes over time. Kitchen drains also clog from grease and food debris; bathroom drains from soap scum and hair. In older neighborhoods, root intrusion from trees growing into sewer lines is another frequent culprit.
Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to blast through blockages and scour the inside walls of pipes clean. It's more thorough than a drain snake for stubborn clogs, heavy grease buildup, or mineral scale, and leaves the pipe walls cleaner so the problem is less likely to recur quickly.
Cost varies by the type and location of the clog. A standard drain snake service for a single fixture is one price; main line clearing or hydro-jetting is another. We assess the situation and give you a clear quote before any work begins — no obligation to proceed.
