About Our Drain Cleaning in Lakeway
Lakeway's housing stock is genuinely mixed — you've got 1970s and 80s ranch homes near the original lakefront sections, 90s subdivisions that have been quietly aging, and newer builds scattered through the hills that come with their own set of drainage quirks. In the older homes especially, we see decades of grease, soap scum, and mineral deposits that have narrowed pipes down to a trickle before the homeowner even realizes there's a problem. The humidity off Lake Travis doesn't help — it contributes to organic buildup in drain lines that just doesn't dry out the way it might in drier parts of Central Texas.
Cold is on the Right brings professional hydro-jetting, drain snaking, and video camera inspection to every job in Lakeway — not just the quick-fix approach that leaves the problem half-solved. We work with homeowners here the same way we'd want someone working on our own homes: with straight talk about what's actually going on, what it'll cost, and what the best long-term fix looks like. If you've got slow drains or recurring clogs, we're the team Lakeway residents trust to get to the root of it.

Drain Cleaning Services We Provide in Lakeway
Drain Snaking
Drain snaking is our go-to first step for most clogged drains in Lakeway homes. We run a flexible auger through the line to break up and remove the blockage — whether it's a hair clog in a bathroom drain or a grease buildup in a kitchen line that's been slowly closing off for years. It's fast, effective, and gets most residential drains flowing again in a single visit.
Learn MoreHydro-Jetting
For the older Lakeway homes with years of mineral scale, grease, and organic buildup lining the pipe walls, a snake alone often isn't enough. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the interior of the pipe clean — restoring full flow capacity rather than just punching a temporary hole through the clog. It's especially effective in the 70s and 80s era drain lines common throughout the original Lakeway neighborhoods.
Learn MoreVideo Camera Drain Inspection
Before recommending any major drain work, we put a camera in the line so we both know exactly what we're dealing with. In Lakeway's older homes, this often reveals cracked cast iron, root intrusion, or severe scale buildup that a simple snake won't fix. You get real footage, a real diagnosis, and a straight answer about what needs to happen next.
Learn MoreKitchen Drain Cleaning
Kitchen drains in Lakeway homes accumulate grease, cooking oils, and food debris that build up over time into stubborn blockages. We clear the clog completely and can recommend whether hydro-jetting makes sense to keep that line clean long-term. If your kitchen sink is backing up or draining slower every week, it's time to call before it stops completely.
Learn MoreBathroom Drain Cleaning
Hair, soap scum, and toothpaste residue are the usual culprits in bathroom drains, but in Lakeway's humid environment, that organic buildup can get thick fast. We clear shower, tub, and sink drains quickly and check the P-trap and vent stack if slow draining persists after the obvious clog is gone. Most bathroom drain jobs are in and out in under an hour.
Learn MoreMain Sewer Line Cleaning
When multiple drains in your Lakeway home are slow or backing up at the same time, the problem is usually in the main sewer line. We clean and inspect main lines using professional equipment sized for residential sewer pipe, and we'll tell you honestly if what we're seeing is a cleaning issue or something that needs a repair. Lakeway's mature tree canopy means root intrusion into older sewer lines is more common than most homeowners expect.
Learn MoreRoot Intrusion Removal
The established oaks and cedars throughout older Lakeway neighborhoods have root systems that can work their way into sewer and drain lines through any available joint or crack. We use mechanical cutting tools and hydro-jetting to clear root intrusion and restore flow — then we camera the line to assess how much damage the roots have caused to the pipe itself. If the pipe needs repair or replacement, we'll tell you upfront.
Learn MoreSewer Line Inspection and Cleaning
Routine sewer line cleaning is something Lakeway homeowners in older properties should schedule every few years — especially if you have mature trees in the yard or haven't had the line inspected since you moved in. We camera the line, clear any buildup or partial blockages, and give you a clear picture of the pipe's condition. Catching a problem early is far cheaper than dealing with a sewage backup.
Learn MoreSewer Line Replacement
When a sewer line in a Lakeway home has deteriorated too far to clean or repair — collapsed sections, severe root damage, or decades-old cast iron that's finally failing — replacement is the right call. We handle full sewer line replacement with honest upfront pricing and as little disruption to your landscaping as the situation allows. We'll walk you through every step before work begins.
Learn MoreGarbage Disposal Drain Cleaning
Garbage disposals are a common source of kitchen drain backups when food waste, fibrous scraps, or grease builds up in the drain line downstream. We clear the drain line connected to your disposal and make sure the disposal itself is functioning properly while we're there. If the disposal needs replacement, we handle that too.
Learn MoreEmergency Drain Cleaning
A sewage backup or completely blocked drain doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Cold is on the Right offers emergency drain cleaning service for Lakeway homeowners when a clog becomes a crisis. Call us, describe what's happening, and we'll get a technician to your door as quickly as possible.

We Know Lakeway Homes
Lakeway's original lakeside neighborhoods were built in the 70s and 80s, and a lot of those homes are still on their original drain and sewer lines. Cast iron corrodes, galvanized steel scales up from the inside, and the mature tree roots that make the neighborhood so beautiful have had 40 or 50 years to find every joint in those pipes. Add in the humidity that rolls off Lake Travis and settles into everything, and you end up with drain lines that need real attention — not just a quick snake and a handshake.
When we work in Lakeway, we're not guessing at what's in the walls or under the slab. We've seen the patterns in these homes enough to know where the problems show up and why. Whether it's a newer build up in the hills with a fresh set of installation quirks, or a 1980s ranch where nobody's touched the sewer cleanout in years, we bring the right tools and the right experience to get it handled correctly. Lakeway homeowners tend to stick with service people they trust — we take that seriously.

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.
Services: Faucet repair
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!
