About Our Sewer Line Replacement in Georgetown

Georgetown's growth has brought thousands of new residents and dozens of new subdivisions, but the city's older core neighborhoods still sit above aging clay and cast-iron sewer lines that were never designed to last forever. Tree roots from mature oaks and pecans along the older streets are among the most common culprits we see — they infiltrate pipe joints over decades, causing slow blockages that eventually turn into full-scale failures. For those homes, sewer line replacement isn't a surprise so much as an overdue necessity.

On the newer end of Georgetown's housing spectrum, rapid construction sometimes means corners get cut in ways that don't show up immediately. Poorly bedded pipe, misaligned joints, and inadequate slope can cause drainage problems in homes that are only a few years old. Cold is on the Right has worked across Georgetown's full range of housing stock, and we bring that breadth of experience to every job — diagnosing the real problem before we ever break ground, and replacing lines with modern materials built to outlast the home itself.

Sewer Line Replacement Services We Provide in Georgetown

Full Sewer Line Replacement

When your main sewer line has deteriorated beyond repair — from root intrusion, pipe collapse, or age — full replacement is the right long-term solution. We excavate, remove the failed pipe, and install new PVC or HDPE line with proper slope and bedding. This is especially common in Georgetown's older central neighborhoods where original clay lines have been in the ground for 60 or more years.

Trenchless Pipe Bursting

Pipe bursting lets us replace a failed sewer line without tearing up your entire yard — we pull a new pipe through the old one, fracturing the old line outward as we go. This method is ideal for Georgetown homeowners with established landscaping, driveways, or fencing they want to protect. It delivers a brand-new pipe with far less disruption and a faster turnaround than traditional open-cut replacement.

Learn More

Sewer Camera Inspection

Before any replacement work begins, we run a high-definition camera through your sewer line to see exactly what we're dealing with. This matters especially in Georgetown, where we might find anything from roots to offset joints to a collapsed section buried under a concrete sidewalk. The inspection gives us the information we need to recommend the right fix — and it gives you the confidence of knowing we're not guessing.

Learn More

Root Intrusion Removal and Line Replacement

Georgetown's older neighborhoods are full of mature trees — and mature trees mean root systems that have had decades to find their way into sewer pipe joints. We clear the roots and assess whether the line can be rehabilitated or needs full replacement. In many cases, once roots have caused significant joint damage, replacement is the only option that prevents the problem from returning season after season.

Learn More

Lateral Line Replacement

The lateral line connects your home's plumbing to the city sewer main, and it's the homeowner's responsibility — not the city's — when it fails. In Georgetown, lateral lines in older parts of town are often undersized or made of materials that have long since reached the end of their lifespan. We handle lateral replacement from your foundation all the way to the city connection, properly permitted and inspected.

Learn More

Sewer Line Repair

Not every problem requires full replacement — sometimes a localized crack, offset joint, or small root intrusion can be addressed with a targeted repair. We'll be straight with you about whether repair or replacement makes more sense given your pipe's overall condition. Georgetown homeowners appreciate that we don't recommend more work than is actually needed.

Learn More

Drain Cleaning

Recurring slow drains and backups are often the first sign that your sewer line is struggling. Professional drain cleaning can clear blockages before they escalate into a full sewer failure, buying time and protecting your home in the short term. If cleaning reveals a more serious structural problem, we'll let you know what you're looking at and what your options are.

Learn More

Emergency Sewer Service

A sewage backup inside your home is never a problem you can schedule around. We offer emergency sewer service for Georgetown homeowners who are dealing with active backups, sewage odors, or sudden total blockages that can't wait for a weekday appointment. We'll get there fast, assess the situation, and stop the problem from getting worse while we work on a permanent solution.

Learn More

Whole House Repiping

When aging sewer issues are part of a broader problem with outdated plumbing throughout your home, repiping may be worth considering at the same time. Addressing your supply and drain lines together while a crew is already on-site can save significant time and cost compared to tackling each problem separately. Cold is on the Right handles both sewer replacement and full house repiping for Georgetown homeowners.

Learn More

Sewer Line Hydro Jetting

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of your sewer line clean, removing grease buildup, scale, and debris that standard snaking leaves behind. It's a thorough way to restore flow to a sluggish line before conditions deteriorate further, and it's particularly effective for newer Georgetown homes where grease accumulation is the primary culprit rather than pipe failure.

Learn More

Sewer Cleanout Installation

If your home doesn't have an accessible sewer cleanout — or if the existing one is buried, damaged, or in the wrong location — we can install one that gives both you and any future plumber easy access to the line. Georgetown homes, particularly older ones, often have missing or non-standard cleanouts that make diagnosing and clearing problems unnecessarily difficult. A properly placed cleanout is a small investment that pays off every time you need sewer work done.

We Know Georgetown Homes

Georgetown's housing stock is genuinely all over the map, and that's not a complaint — it's just the reality of a city that spans from a beautifully preserved Victorian-era downtown to some of the largest master-planned communities in Central Texas. In the older neighborhoods east of I-35 and around the historic square, we regularly find original clay tile sewer lines that have been in the ground since the mid-20th century, and the root systems from Georgetown's mature oak canopy have had decades to work their way into every joint. These aren't problems we're guessing about — they're patterns we've seen on job after job in this part of town.

Out in Georgetown's newer developments, the concerns are different but no less real. Rapid subdivision buildout creates its own set of risks: sewer laterals that weren't properly bedded, pipe grades that are off by enough to cause chronic drainage problems, and connections that passed inspection but aren't holding up well under daily use. We know both sides of Georgetown's story, and we bring the same diagnostic rigor to a 1940s bungalow off Austin Avenue as we do to a two-year-old house in Morningstar or Berry Creek. That local knowledge is what separates a well-matched repair from a Band-Aid that fails in six months.

High Fives from Austin Homeowners

Graysen and Andrew from Cold is on the Right came out just a couple hours after I called and took care of cutting out my kitchen faucet. They were professional, friendly, and clearly knowledgeable, explaining everything in a straightforward way without any upselling or confusion. It was refreshing to get honest answers and excellent service so quickly. I’ll definitely be using them again for future plumbing needs.

We contacted Cold is on the Right today with an urgent plumbing need. Their very professional and organized crew arrived within 30 minutes and fixed our issue. We called five other plumbing companies before them and no one was able to help us. Cold is on the Right will now be the first plumbers we call.

We called due to slow drainage and apparently main line backing up into master bathroom shower and sink. There is an automated line that takes your information and apparently works very well. Plumbers Billy and Jeremy showed up promptly after we were informed they were being dispatched this morning, they stayed and worked until the problem was solved and advised on possible future repairs that would need to be done. They were professional, smart, respectful of our home, and efficient in their actions. Let us know what things would cost and were honest in their assessment of what would be needed next and how (un) likely our homeowners insurance would be able to help.  I appreciate the service and the fair treatment by these gentlemen. Thank you.

Santiago and Kyle were amazing during our total HVAC system replacement. Kind, informative, knowledgeable and careful to ensure a smooth install. They were efficient and got my AC working before my family arrived for spring break. Now enjoying the cool air with family. Great pricing and quick turn around from quote to finished job. Thank you! 10/10 would recommend them to anyone needing HVCA or plumbing work.

These guys are prompt and very polite, and explain your options well without trying to upsell. We thought we needed three things replaced, but they showed us that one of the three just needed an adjustment rather than a replacement. Wonderful service!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does sewer line replacement cost in Georgetown, TX?
Sewer line replacement in Georgetown typically runs between $4,000 and $15,000 depending on the length of the line, the depth of the pipe, the method used, and how accessible the line is. Trenchless replacement generally costs more upfront than open-cut excavation but can save money on landscaping and concrete restoration afterward. Georgetown's mix of older properties with deep-set clay lines and newer homes with longer lateral runs to city mains means costs vary quite a bit from one job to the next. We provide a detailed upfront quote after a camera inspection so you know exactly what you're looking at before any work begins.
How long does sewer line replacement take?
Most residential sewer line replacement jobs in Georgetown take one to three days from start to finish. Straightforward trenchless replacements on shorter lines can sometimes be completed in a single day, while longer runs or jobs that require significant excavation through driveways or landscaping may take longer. Permitting timelines can add a day or two to the overall project timeline depending on current city workload. We'll give you a realistic schedule at the time of your quote so you can plan accordingly.
Can I stay in my home during sewer line replacement?
In most cases, yes — but you won't be able to use any water or plumbing fixtures while the line is disconnected, which is typically only part of the workday. For jobs that span multiple days, we coordinate with homeowners so that plumbing is restored at the end of each work day whenever possible. If a full disconnection is required for an extended period, we'll let you know in advance so you can make arrangements. Most Georgetown homeowners are able to stay in their homes throughout the replacement process without significant disruption.
How do I know if my sewer line needs to be replaced or just repaired?
The condition of the pipe overall is what matters most — not just the specific failure point. A sewer camera inspection gives us a full picture of your line's condition. If the pipe is structurally sound in most areas and the damage is isolated, a targeted repair may be sufficient. But if we find widespread deterioration, multiple offset joints, significant root intrusion along the length of the pipe, or a material like clay or Orangeburg that has reached the end of its lifespan, replacement is usually the smarter long-term investment. Georgetown's older homes often have pipes that are decades past their expected service life, and a repair that works today may fail again in a year.
Does homeowners insurance cover sewer line replacement in Georgetown?
Standard homeowners insurance policies typically do not cover sewer line replacement unless the damage was caused by a specific covered event, like a sudden collapse due to an external force. Gradual deterioration, root intrusion, and normal aging are almost always excluded. Some homeowners have purchased separate sewer line or service line coverage as an add-on or endorsement, which can offset some of the replacement cost. It's worth reviewing your policy and calling your insurance agent before assuming coverage — we can also provide the documentation your insurer may require if a claim is possible.
What causes sewer lines to fail in Georgetown homes specifically?
In Georgetown's older neighborhoods, the most common causes are aging clay or cast-iron pipe that has corroded or shifted over time, and root intrusion from the large live oaks and pecan trees that line many of the older streets. Older pipe materials simply weren't designed to last more than 50 to 60 years, and many Georgetown homes in the historic core are working with lines that are well past that mark. In newer Georgetown developments, we more often see issues related to construction quality — improper pipe bedding, inadequate slope, or fittings that weren't installed correctly during the subdivision buildout. The city's expansive clay soils also cause pipe movement over time as the ground shifts with seasonal moisture changes, which can crack or offset even relatively new lines.
