About Our Sewer Services in Lakeway
Lakeway has been a community for over 50 years, and a lot of the sewer infrastructure reflects that history. Older clay or cast iron pipes from 1970s and 80s construction are still running beneath some of the area's most well-loved homes. Add in the humidity that rolls off Lake Travis and the root-heavy Hill Country landscaping that's common throughout the area, and you've got conditions that wear sewer lines down faster than most homeowners expect. Cold is on the Right Plumbing & Air understands what these systems face, and we come prepared with the tools and knowledge to get to the bottom of any sewer issue quickly.
We also serve the newer construction that has filled in around Lakeway's original core — homes where builders sometimes cut corners on depth or grade during rapid development. Whether you're dealing with a chronic slow drain, a sewage smell that won't go away, or a yard that's wetter than it should be, we provide honest assessments and lasting repairs. We're not here to upsell you on work you don't need. We're here to solve the problem and keep your home's plumbing running the way it should.

Sewer Services We Provide in Lakeway
Sewer Line Repair
Cracked, offset, or root-intruded sewer lines are common in Lakeway's older neighborhoods, where decades of tree growth have had plenty of time to go to work on buried pipes. We use camera inspections to pinpoint the exact location of damage before any digging begins. Targeted repairs save you money and get your system back in service without tearing up more of your yard than necessary.
Learn MoreSewer Line Replacement
When a Lakeway sewer line is too far gone for repair — whether it's collapsed, severely corroded, or has simply reached the end of its lifespan after 40-plus years — full replacement is the smarter long-term investment. We install durable modern pipe materials that are designed to last and handle the kind of root pressure and ground movement common in the Hill Country. A new sewer line also gives you peace of mind that the problem is truly solved.
Learn MoreDrain Cleaning
Slow drains in Lakeway homes often come down to buildup in branch lines or partial blockages that have been developing for years in older pipe systems. We clear them thoroughly using professional-grade equipment, not just a quick snake that pushes the problem further down. Keeping your drains clear is one of the best ways to avoid a full sewer backup.
Learn MoreHydro Jetting
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to blast grease, mineral scale, and compacted debris out of sewer lines — the kind of buildup that a standard drain snake can't fully clear. It's especially effective in Lakeway homes that have older cast iron or clay drain lines, where years of accumulation can choke flow even without a hard blockage. This service restores your pipes to like-new flow capacity without chemicals or excavation.
Sewer Camera Inspection
Before we recommend any repair or replacement, we send a camera through your sewer line to see exactly what's going on. In a community like Lakeway, where homes range from 1970s originals to recent builds, the condition of a sewer line can vary enormously even on the same street. A camera inspection gives you real information to make a real decision, and it's far less invasive than digging blind.
Root Intrusion Removal
The mature oaks, cedars, and other landscaping that make Lakeway such a beautiful place to live are also a constant threat to sewer lines. Tree roots follow moisture and can find their way into even small cracks in older pipe joints. We remove root intrusions and assess how much damage has been done so you know whether a repair or replacement is the right next step.
Sewer Odor Diagnosis
A persistent sewer smell in or around your Lakeway home is not something to ignore or mask with air freshener. It can indicate a cracked sewer line, a failed wax ring, a dried-out p-trap, or even a venting issue unique to how your home was plumbed. We track down the source and fix it properly so the smell — and the underlying problem — doesn't come back.
Emergency Sewer Service
Sewage backups don't wait for business hours, and a backup in a Lakeway home near the lake is especially urgent given the potential for environmental impact. Cold is on the Right offers emergency sewer service when you need it, with real plumbers who can respond and start solving the problem right away. Call (512) 271-2172 and we'll be on our way.
Learn MoreLeak Detection
Not all sewer leaks announce themselves with a backup or an obvious wet spot. Some seep slowly beneath slabs or into the soil for months before any visible sign appears. Our leak detection services use advanced tools to locate sewer and water line leaks without unnecessary excavation, protecting your landscaping and your home's foundation in the process.
Learn MoreSewer Cleanout Installation
Many older Lakeway homes lack a properly accessible sewer cleanout, which makes maintenance and emergency service more complicated and more expensive. Installing a cleanout gives plumbers direct access to your sewer line for future cleaning, inspections, or repairs. It's a straightforward upgrade that pays for itself the first time you need service.
Whole House Repiping
For Lakeway homes where aging galvanized or polybutylene supply lines are affecting water quality or pressure, a full repipe may be the right solution. While repiping is primarily a supply-side project, it often goes hand in hand with sewer assessments in older homes where both systems were installed in the same era. We can evaluate the full picture and give you honest guidance on what your home needs.

We Know Lakeway Homes
Lakeway is one of those communities where you can turn onto the same street and find a 1978 ranch-style home sitting next to a house that was built five years ago. That mix matters when it comes to sewer work. In the older homes, we often find original clay or cast iron sewer lines that have developed cracks, offset joints, or significant root intrusion after decades underground. The lake proximity adds to it — soil near Lake Travis tends to shift more with moisture, which accelerates joint separation in older pipes.
The newer construction in Lakeway brings its own set of considerations. Rapid development in parts of the area sometimes meant drainage grades or pipe depths that were done to code but not necessarily to the highest standard, and those systems are starting to show their limitations. Lakeway homeowners tend to stay in their homes and invest in them for the long haul, and we respect that. When we come out to your property, we're not just fixing what's in front of us — we're giving you a clear picture of where your system stands so you can plan ahead.

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!
