Drain Cleaning & Sewer Services

From a slow kitchen sink to a collapsed sewer line, Abacus clears, inspects, and repairs drains and sewers across Houston and Austin.

Drain cleaning

Abacus clears clogged drains in bathtubs, dishwashers, showers, sinks, toilets, washing machines, and floor drains for residential and commercial properties. Most blockages are grease, hair, soap buildup, or foreign objects lodged in the trap, and the technician will identify the cause before choosing the method so you know whether a cable, a flush, or something more involved is needed.

Hydro jetting

Standard drain cables push through a blockage. Hydro jetting scours the entire pipe wall with high-pressure water, stripping away tree root masses, solidified grease plugs, and mineral scale that cables leave behind. It is the right call when a drain keeps re-clogging in the same spot, because the cable only punches a hole through the buildup while the jetter removes it.

Sewer camera inspection

A small waterproof camera on a flexible cable feeds into the sewer line and transmits live video footage to a monitor. The technician can see exactly where a break, a root intrusion, or a belly (a low spot where water pools) sits without digging anything up. This step often saves the cost of exploratory excavation, and the footage becomes a permanent record of the line's condition.

Sewer line repair and replacement

When a sewer line is broken, bellied, or root-invaded beyond what jetting can fix, Abacus replaces the damaged section or the full run. For lines under slab foundations, tunneling reaches the pipe without cutting the concrete, which keeps the finished floor intact. Every sewer repair starts with the camera inspection above so the scope of work is visible before any digging begins.

Yard drains and specialty lines

Landscape drains accumulate silt, dirt, leaves, and tree roots that gradually reduce flow until the yard floods after a heavy rain. Abacus clears yard drains, AC condensate lines, and pipe descaling (mineral buildup removal) as part of the same drain-and-sewer service.
