What our drain cleaning service includes
Every drain cleaning call includes the basics: diagnosis, camera inspection, mechanical clearing, and a post-clear flush.
Work order
Drain Cleaning- Camera inspection: We run a RIDGID sewer camera through the cleanout before and after clearing. You see the clog and you see the clean pipe. The footage is your proof of work and your baseline for future maintenance.
- Mechanical clearing: We use a drain snake or Milwaukee sectional machine to break up soft clogs. For grease, scale, or roots, we switch to a hydro jetter at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI. The method matches the clog, not a one-size-fits-all cable.
- Fixture flush: After clearing the main line, we flush every fixture tied to that drain: kitchen sink, bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, and laundry standpipe. If water still stands anywhere, we keep working until it drains clean.
- Cleanout check: We inspect the cleanout cap and threads. A stripped or missing cap lets sewer gas into your yard and debris into the line. If the cap needs replacement, we install a new one with pipe sealant and Teflon tape on the threads.
- Written findings: You get a written summary of what we found, the pipe material, and any recommended repairs. If the line is clear and healthy, we tell you that. If it needs a sewer line repair, you have the camera footage and a price to decide on.

What drain cleaning schertz TX actually involves
A drain that backs up once will back up again unless the pipe is cleared properly. We camera the line, clear the full diameter, and show you the result. That is how you stop repeat clogs.
Drain cleaning schertz TX is the process of removing grease, soap scum, hair, scale, and root intrusion from the pipes that carry wastewater away from your home. We start by finding where the line is actually blocked, not just where the water backs up. Then we run a drain snake or hydro jetter through the pipe, flush the debris out, and camera-inspect the run to make sure nothing was missed. A clean drain is a tested drain, not a guess.
Most Schertz homes sit on slab foundations with cast iron or PVC pipe under the floor, and the combination of Central Texas heat, hard water, and mature trees pushes a lot of debris into lateral lines.

We handle kitchen drain cleaning schertz calls, bathroom drain cleaning near me schertz requests, and full main-line blockages with the same crew and the same equipment.

How our drain cleaning process works
Every job follows the same five steps. You know what is happening, what it costs, and what we found before we pack up and leave.
Tools and methods we use
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
Drives a cable through soft clogs in branch lines and mains. The sectional design lets us add or remove cable sections to match the run length without over-torquing the pipe.
Runs 3,000 to 4,000 PSI water through a forward and rear-facing nozzle. It scours grease, scale, and roots off the full pipe diameter, not just a hole through the clog.
Hand or power-driven cable for small branch lines and traps. We use it on bathroom and kitchen drains where a jetter would be overkill or where access is tight.
Removes and reinstalls cleanout caps, trap arms, and fixture connections. We carry multiple sizes to fit older cast iron and newer PVC fittings without stripping threads.

How drain cleaning runs in Schertz
Schertz sits on clay soil that expands when wet and shrinks when dry. That movement cracks older cast iron laterals and opens joints for roots. Most homes here were built between the 1970s and 2000s, so we see a mix of original cast iron and newer PVC pipe.
Schertz Heights
Mix of 1980s and 1990s homes with original cast iron laterals. Root intrusion at pipe joints is common here, especially where mature oaks line the streets.
Cibolo Canyons area
Newer construction with PVC drain lines. Clogs here are usually grease or construction debris left in the line, not roots. Camera inspection confirms which.
Northcliff
Established neighborhood with large trees and clay soil. We see root masses in main lines every spring and fall. Annual jetting keeps them clear.

PhotoKitchen sink grease clog cleared
Before: A Schertz homeowner had been pouring chemical cleaner down a slow kitchen sink for two months. The sink finally stopped draining completely, leaving standing water and a chemical smell. The trap was packed with grease, and the horizontal run had a 70 percent grease film.
After: We pulled the trap, cleared the branch line with a snake, and hydro jetted the horizontal run at 3,500 PSI. The camera showed bare pipe wall after jetting. Total job time was 75 minutes. The sink drained fast, and the chemical smell was gone.
Main line root mass removed
Before: A Cibolo home had two bathrooms backing up at the same time. The cleanout was full of water, and the camera showed a root mass at a joint about 35 feet from the house. The pipe was cast iron with a visible crack at the joint.
After: We jetted the roots out at 4,000 PSI and camera-verified the line was clear. The crack remained, so we quoted a spot repair for that section. The homeowner scheduled it for the next week. In the meantime, the drains flowed normally.
Commercial kitchen drain restored
Before: A Schertz restaurant had a kitchen drain that backed up during lunch service three days in a row. The grease trap was full, and the line to the main was coated with grease. The owner was losing lunch revenue every time it backed up.
After: We arrived after close, pumped the grease trap, and hydro jetted the full run to the main at 4,000 PSI. The camera showed a clean pipe wall. The kitchen was back in service the next morning. We set up a quarterly jetting schedule to prevent repeat clogs.
Drain problems we solve in Schertz homes
Most drain calls fall into a handful of categories.
Kitchen sink drains slowly or backs up
Grease and food scraps coat the pipe wall and narrow the line until it blocks completely.
Multiple fixtures backing up at once
When the toilet, tub, and sink all drain slow, the blockage is in the main line.
Chemical drain cleaners did not work
Caustic cleaners can crack cast iron, soften PVC joints, and leave a pool of chemical sitting in the trap.
Sewer smell in the house or yard
A dry trap, a loose cleanout cap, or a cracked vent line lets sewer gas into your home.
Why homeowners call us for drain cleaning
A backed-up drain is not just annoying. It is a warning that the pipe is narrowing, and the next backup will be worse.

What Schertz customers say
Kitchen sink had been draining slow for weeks and finally stopped up on a Friday night. Pro Plumbing came out Saturday morning, ran a camera, and showed me the grease clog on their monitor. They jetted the line and had it flowing in about an hour. Price was what they quoted on the phone. No surprises.
We had two bathrooms backing up at the same time, which I learned means a main-line problem. The technician pulled the cleanout, camera-inspected, and found roots at a joint. He jetted the roots out and gave us a written price for a permanent repair. We scheduled it for the next week. Honest work.
Our commercial kitchen drain clogs about every six months. Pro Plumbing jets it and checks the grease trap. They come after close so we do not lose a lunch service. Last time they also showed us camera footage of the line so we could see the buildup. Good communication, fair price.

Describe what you are seeing and we will point you to the right next step.
876383746A single kitchen or bathroom sink clog sits at the low end. Main-line clogs that need hydro jetting or a longer cable run sit higher. If we find roots or a broken pipe, we give you a written repair price before any additional work. No surprise charges.
Every 12 to 24 months for most homes. If you have mature trees over your lateral line, hard water scale, or a kitchen sink that sees a lot of grease, plan on every 12 months. Homes in older Schertz neighborhoods with original cast iron laterals benefit from annual camera inspection and jetting to stay ahead of root intrusion.
Grease and food scraps in kitchen lines, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, and tree roots in main laterals. Schertz's clay soil shifts with wet and dry cycles, which cracks older cast iron and lets roots in at the joints. Hard water also leaves scale inside pipes, narrowing the flow over time. We see all four on a typical week.
Yes. We run trailer-mounted hydro jetters at 3,000 to 4,000 PSI for grease, scale, and root removal. Jetting scours the full pipe diameter, not just a channel through the clog. We camera-inspect before and after so you see the result. Jetting is safe on PVC and cast iron in good condition, and we check condition first.
