Sewer Backup & Sewage Overflow in Abilene, TX

• Sewage coming up through the bathtub when you flush the toilet
• Multiple drains slow or backed up at the same time
• Gurgling sounds from drains when another fixture is used
• Sewage smell from floor drains in laundry room or basement
• Water bubbling in toilet when you run the sink
• Outdoor cleanout overflowing

Do not use any water in the house until this is cleared. Every flush adds more sewage to the backup.

• Tree root intrusion — mesquite and oak roots in Abilene clay soil aggressively seek pipe joints
• Grease buildup — kitchen grease accumulates and traps other material
• Flushed materials — “flushable” wipes, feminine hygiene products, paper towels (none of these are actually flushable)
• Collapsed or offset pipe — clay soil movement shifts pipe segments out of alignment
• Belly/sag — section of pipe that sags and accumulates solid waste
• Corroded cast iron — homes before 1985 often have deteriorating cast iron that narrows over time

1. Immediate line clearing — we snake the main line to restore flow and stop the overflow. 2. Camera scope — after clearing, we camera-inspect the line to find the root cause. 3. Honest assessment — if it’s roots, we tell you. If it’s a collapsed section, we tell you. If it’s likely to back up again in 6 months without further repair, we tell you that too. 4. Repair options — spot repair, trenchless lining, or full replacement depending on what the camera shows.

Emergency sewer line clearing: $285–$450 for a standard residential main line, including camera inspection to confirm clearance. If roots or other obstructions require more than standard snaking, we quote the additional work before proceeding. Hydro-jetting (high-pressure water clearing for severe grease/root buildup): $450–$850 depending on line length.
