About Our Drain Services in Lakeway
Lakeway's housing stock is as varied as its terrain. Older homes near the water — many built in the 70s, 80s, and 90s — often still have original drain lines that have never been cleaned or inspected. Years of grease buildup, mineral scaling from Central Texas water, and root intrusion from mature trees can quietly turn a slow drain into a full-blown sewer backup. At Cold is on the Right, we use professional-grade snaking, hydro jetting, and camera inspection to get to the source of the problem, not just mask it.
We've been serving the greater Austin area long enough to understand what Lakeway plumbing actually looks like behind the walls. The humidity near Lake Travis accelerates corrosion in older pipes, and the clay-heavy soil shifts seasonally in ways that stress underground drain lines. We don't guess — we diagnose. And when we give you a price, that's the price. No surprises after the job is done.

Drain Services We Provide in Lakeway
Drain Cleaning
From stubborn kitchen grease to hair and soap scum clogging bathroom drains, our professional drain cleaning gets water moving again. We use the right tool for the job — whether that's a power snake or hydro jetting — to clear the clog completely and reduce the chance it comes back. This is especially important in older Lakeway homes where pipes haven't been serviced in years.
Learn MoreSewer Services
Sewer problems in Lakeway can escalate quickly, especially in homes where original drain lines are approaching or past the 40-year mark. We inspect, diagnose, and service your sewer system using camera technology so there's no guesswork about what's actually going on underground. Catching issues early saves Lakeway homeowners significant money down the road.
Learn MoreSewer Line Replacement
When a sewer line has deteriorated beyond repair — collapsed sections, severe root intrusion, or chronic offsetting — replacement is the right long-term answer. We assess your existing line, explain your options clearly, and complete the replacement with minimal disruption to your property. For Lakeway homes with mature landscaping and established yards, we handle the work carefully.
Learn MoreKitchen Drain Clearing
Kitchen drains in Lakeway homes see a lot of grease, coffee grounds, and food debris that accumulates deep in the line over time. A plunger might clear the surface, but professional drain cleaning removes the full buildup and restores proper flow. We also check for signs of pipe corrosion while we're in there — common in homes from the 80s and 90s with aging galvanized or cast iron lines.
Bathroom Drain Cleaning
Shower and tub drains in high-use bathrooms can slow down faster than homeowners expect, especially in households with long hair or heavy soap and shampoo use. Our plumbers clear bathroom drains thoroughly and inspect the trap and vent lines for any secondary issues contributing to slow drainage. In older Lakeway homes, we sometimes find original chrome or galvanized fixtures that need attention beyond just clearing the clog.
Toilet Clog Removal
Toilet clogs that don't respond to a standard plunger are often deeper in the drain line than they appear. Our plumbers use professional augers to clear obstructions without damaging your toilet or the line itself. If a recurring clog points to a sewer line issue further downstream, we'll let you know before it becomes a bigger problem.
Video Camera Drain Inspection
Sometimes the only way to know what's really happening inside a drain line is to look. We run a professional camera through your sewer or drain lines to pinpoint root intrusion, pipe separation, scale buildup, or collapsed sections. This is particularly valuable for Lakeway buyers doing pre-purchase inspections on older homes near the lake.
Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the interior walls of drain pipes, removing grease, mineral scale, and debris that snaking alone can't fully address. It's one of the most effective ways to restore flow in older Lakeway drain lines that have years of buildup. We'll assess whether your pipes are in good enough condition for hydro jetting before recommending it.
Root Intrusion Removal
Mature trees are part of what makes established Lakeway neighborhoods so appealing — but their roots can work their way into aging sewer lines over time, causing slow drains, backups, and pipe damage. We use professional cutting tools and camera inspection to clear root intrusion and assess whether the affected section of pipe needs repair or replacement.
Emergency Plumbing
A sewer backup or complete drain blockage doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Cold is on the Right offers emergency plumbing service for urgent drain situations in Lakeway — including overflows, backups, and anything that puts your home at risk of water damage. We respond quickly and get the problem under control.
Learn MorePlumbing Repairs
Drain issues sometimes reveal deeper plumbing problems — cracked pipes, failing joints, or corroded fittings that need repair beyond just clearing a clog. Our licensed plumbers handle the full scope of plumbing repairs in Lakeway, so you're not calling multiple companies to solve one connected problem. We fix what's broken and explain everything we find.

We Know Lakeway Homes
Lakeway has a range of homes that tells the story of how this community grew up around Lake Travis. The original lakeside properties from the 1970s and 80s were built with plumbing systems that, at best, have had minimal updates over the decades — cast iron drain lines, galvanized supply pipes, and sewer laterals that have been quietly degrading under the surface. When we work in these homes, we know what to look for and we're not surprised by what we find.
The humidity that comes with living close to the lake accelerates pipe corrosion and can contribute to drain venting issues that make slow drains harder to diagnose without the right experience. Newer builds in Lakeway have their own quirks — PVC lines installed during the construction boom that may have shifted as the soil settled. Whatever your home's age, our familiarity with the Lakeway area means we come prepared, not guessing.

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.

Price assessment: Reasonable price
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.
Services: Drain cleaning
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!
