Professional Sewer Cleaning in Houston
A slow drain can be a fixture problem. When multiple drains back up, gurgle, or drain slowly at the same time, the problem may be in your main sewer line.
The Houston Plumbing Company can inspect the line, identify the blockage, and use the appropriate professional equipment to restore proper flow.
We provide residential and commercial sewer cleaning throughout Houston and surrounding Greater Houston communities.

Sewer Cleaning Services
Main Sewer Line Cleaning
When a blockage affects multiple fixtures, the main sewer line may be restricted. We can access the line, locate the blockage, and clear the obstruction to restore proper drainage.

Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to remove grease, mineral scale, sludge, roots, and other buildup from the inside of the sewer line.

Professional augers and cable equipment can break through solid blockages, root masses, and debris inside sewer lines.

Sewer Camera Inspection
A sewer camera inspection helps identify the location and cause of a blockage before cleaning and can verify the condition of the line afterward.

What Causes Sewer Line Blockages?
Common causes of sewer blockages include:
- Tree root intrusion
- Grease and fat buildup
- Mineral and scale deposits
- Debris and foreign objects
- Aging or damaged pipes
- Bellied or sagging sewer lines
- Heavy buildup inside older pipe systems
If a blockage keeps returning after cleaning, the sewer line may have an underlying structural problem that requires repair or replacement.

Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Cleaning
You may have a sewer line blockage if you notice:
- Multiple slow drains
- Several fixtures backing up together
- Gurgling toilets or drains
- Sewage odors
- Water backing up into a tub, shower, or floor drain
- Wet or unusually green areas near the sewer line
- Recurring sewer backups
When several fixtures are affected at once, the problem is often farther down the main drain or sewer line.

Sewer Cleaning vs. Sewer Line Repair
Sewer cleaning removes blockages and buildup from inside the pipe. Sewer line repair addresses structural problems such as cracks, breaks, collapsed sections, separated joints, or other damage.
If a sewer line repeatedly becomes blocked after professional cleaning, a camera inspection can help determine whether the pipe itself needs repair or replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sewer Cleaning
How much does sewer cleaning cost in Houston?
The cost depends on the location and severity of the blockage, the condition of the sewer line, and the cleaning method required. The Houston Plumbing Company provides a clear estimate before work begins.
How do I know if I need sewer cleaning or sewer line repair?
Sewer cleaning removes blockages and buildup. Sewer line repair is needed when the pipe itself is damaged. If the line repeatedly backs up after cleaning, a camera inspection can help determine whether structural damage is causing the problem.
How often should a sewer line be cleaned?
There is no single schedule for every property. Homes with recurring blockages, heavy root growth, older cast-iron lines, or significant buildup may need more frequent cleaning. A camera inspection can help determine an appropriate maintenance schedule.
When should I use hydro jetting instead of an auger?
Hydro jetting is useful when grease, mineral scale, sludge, or heavy buildup coats the inside of the pipe. An auger may be more appropriate for certain solid blockages or root masses. A plumber can determine the right method after inspecting the line.
How do I know if tree roots are blocking my sewer line?
Recurring backups, multiple slow drains, sewage odors, and repeated blockages can indicate root intrusion. A sewer camera inspection can confirm whether roots have entered the line and show whether the pipe has also been damaged.

Yes. The Houston Plumbing Company provides 24/7 emergency sewer service throughout Houston. Call immediately if sewage is backing up into your home or multiple drains are overflowing.
