Cleaning a sewer line often requires professional tools like motorized augers, high-pressure hydrojetting, or access through a sewer line clean out to reach deep blockages. At Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning, we begin with a sewer camera inspection to understand exactly what’s causing the backup—whether it’s tree roots, collapsed piping, or years of buildup. Then we use the safest, most effective method to clear the line completely and prevent future issues.
Your sewer line is the main pipe that carries wastewater from your home to the city sewer or septic system. It connects all your drains—showers, toilets, sinks, laundry—to a single buried line that relies on gravity and slope to move waste away. When that line is blocked, everything from slow drains to backups can occur. Radiant specializes in diagnosing and restoring these critical systems with clean outs, repairs, and full replacements.
In most residential properties, sewer lines are buried anywhere from 3 to 6 feet deep—but this varies based on local code, slope requirements, and the age of your home. In some parts of Central Texas, lines can be deeper due to hilly terrain or slab foundations. Radiant’s technicians are trained to locate and access these lines safely using the proper equipment for diagnostics, clean out, or excavation and replacement when needed.
Sewer lines can last anywhere from 30 to 100 years depending on the material and conditions. Cast iron and clay pipes, common in older homes around Austin and San Antonio, tend to wear out faster than modern PVC. Factors like tree root intrusion, shifting soil, and corrosion can shorten their lifespan. If you’re experiencing recurring issues, Radiant offers sewer camera inspections and repair assessments to determine your line’s condition.
It depends on your risk factors. Homes with older clay or cast iron sewer lines, large trees, or frequent backups may benefit from it. However, many homeowners are surprised to learn their regular insurance doesn’t cover sewer repairs. Radiant helps by providing upfront diagnostics through clean outs and camera inspections—so you know the state of your sewer before a costly failure happens. It’s not just about insurance—it’s about preparedness.
Main sewer clogs often require more than a plunger or household snake. Radiant uses professional-grade equipment to access your clean out, inspect the blockage, and fully remove it using either mechanical rodding or hydro jetting. If the line is collapsed or cracked, we offer complete solutions—from trenchless repairs to full sewer line replacement and excavation.
When your sewer line backs up, it’s not just a nuisance—it’s a full-stop emergency. Slow drains, foul smells, and toilets that won’t flush often point to a deeper issue with your home’s main line. And the first step toward solving it isn’t a bottle of chemicals—it’s a professional sewer line clean out from Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning.
Clean outs are more than just access points—they’re the gateway to diagnosing, clearing, and permanently fixing your sewer problems. At Radiant, we use them to deliver everything from camera inspections and drain jetting to full-scale main line repairs and sewer line replacements. It all starts with the clean out—and ends with peace of mind.
A sewer clean out is an access pipe that connects directly to your home’s main sewer line. It allows a licensed plumber to quickly reach the source of a blockage or backup without tearing up your yard or removing toilets.
If you already have a clean out installed, Radiant can get right to work. If not, we can safely expose or install one—especially important for older homes in Central Texas where access is limited. Clean outs are the first step toward solving chronic sewer problems the right way.
Sewer line issues often start with symptoms like:
These signs point to a main line issue—not a localized clog. And that’s when Radiant’s sewer line clean out services come into play.
When you call Radiant for sewer issues, here’s what to expect:
We believe in transparency at every step—and we never push work that isn’t needed. If it’s a one-time clog, we’ll clear it and be on our way. If it’s a bigger issue, we’ll walk you through solutions with pricing up front.
Radiant’s clean out services often lead to broader sewer solutions, including:
We use advanced imaging to pinpoint cracks, roots, sags, and other hidden threats—without digging.
From localized cracks to joint separations, our team can patch and reinforce your sewer system using trenchless or traditional methods.
For severely damaged or collapsed lines, we offer full replacements. Our team handles all permitting, excavation, replacement, and clean-up.
Not sure which path your home needs? That’s okay. It starts with the clean out and the right diagnostic tools—and Radiant brings both.
In Austin and San Antonio, we deal with aging infrastructure, shifting soil, and invasive tree roots—all major culprits in sewer line failures. Many older homes still rely on clay or cast iron lines, which are prone to cracking and root intrusion.
Radiant’s team is trained in both modern and legacy systems, and we’re equipped to work around your home’s unique foundation—whether that’s a slab, pier and beam, or hillside.
Sewer problems don’t go away on their own. If your drains are slow, your fixtures are gurgling, or you’ve had one too many backups, let Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning provide the clean out—and the clear plan—you need.
