About Our Sewer Line Replacement in Spicewood
Spicewood sits in the rolling limestone terrain west of Austin, where large acreage lots and older homes are the norm rather than the exception. That geography comes with real plumbing challenges. Deep root systems from cedar and live oak trees are notorious for working their way into sewer lines, and the rocky soil can shift pipes over time in ways that cause bellying, cracking, or misalignment. Cold is on the Right has worked on properties throughout the Spicewood area and understands exactly what these conditions mean for your sewer system.
Many homes out here were built decades ago and haven't had their sewer lines inspected since installation. If your home is on a septic system, a sewer line issue between your house and the tank can be just as serious as a main line failure. We use camera inspection to pinpoint the problem before any digging starts, so you get a clear picture of what's actually happening underground. We price the job upfront, stick to that number, and get the work done without the runaround.

Sewer Line Replacement Services We Provide in Spicewood
Full Sewer Line Replacement
When a sewer line is too far gone for repair — whether from root damage, pipe collapse, or decades of corrosion — a full replacement is the right call. We excavate carefully on Spicewood's often rocky terrain, remove the failing line, and install new PVC piping rated for long-term performance. The result is a sewer system built to last well into the future.
Learn MoreSewer Camera Inspection
Before any work begins, we run a camera through your sewer line to see exactly what's going on. On large Spicewood lots, this step saves significant time and expense by eliminating guesswork about where the failure is located. You'll see the footage yourself and understand precisely what's needed before we touch a shovel.
Learn MoreTrenchless Pipe Bursting
On properties where digging a full trench would disturb landscaping, native vegetation, or long driveways, trenchless pipe bursting is an excellent alternative. We pull a new pipe through the old line, fracturing the damaged pipe outward as we go. It's minimally invasive and especially practical on the larger lots common across Spicewood.
Learn MoreRoot Intrusion Removal and Line Clearing
The cedar, live oak, and juniper trees that make Spicewood beautiful are hard on sewer lines. Their roots follow moisture and can infiltrate even small cracks in older pipe joints. We clear root intrusion thoroughly and assess whether the affected section needs repair or full replacement to prevent the problem from returning.
Learn MoreSewer Line Repair
Not every damaged section requires a full line replacement. When the failure is localized — a cracked joint, a short collapsed section, or a cleanout issue — we can perform a targeted repair that restores function quickly and at lower cost. We'll tell you honestly whether a repair is the right solution or whether replacement is the smarter investment.
Learn MoreSeptic-to-Sewer Lateral Installation
Some Spicewood properties are transitioning from septic systems to available municipal sewer connections. We install the sewer lateral from your home to the main line, handling all necessary trenching through Hill Country terrain and coordinating with local requirements. Getting this connection done right from the start prevents costly issues down the road.
Learn MoreDrain Cleaning and Hydro Jetting
Slow drains or recurring backups are often a sign of buildup or early root intrusion in the main sewer line. Our hydro jetting service blasts obstructions out with high-pressure water, restoring full flow capacity. For Spicewood homes where a plumber can't be called on a whim, thorough cleaning now can prevent emergency failures later.
Learn MoreEmergency Sewer Service
A sewage backup or line failure doesn't wait for a convenient time, and when you're out in Spicewood, waiting days for a contractor isn't an option. Cold is on the Right offers emergency service for serious sewer problems. We'll get out to your property, assess the situation honestly, and take action to protect your home and your family.
Learn MoreCleanout Installation
Many older Spicewood homes lack accessible sewer cleanouts, which makes diagnosing and clearing blockages far more difficult and expensive. We install properly positioned cleanouts so that future service calls are faster and less invasive. It's a straightforward addition that pays for itself the first time you need a line cleared.
Learn MorePipe Lining (CIPP)
Cured-in-place pipe lining creates a new pipe inside your existing damaged sewer line without major excavation. A resin-coated liner is inserted and cured in place, sealing cracks and reinforcing the pipe from the inside. This method is particularly useful on Spicewood properties where digging through caliche and limestone bedrock would be costly and disruptive.
Learn MoreWhole-Home Plumbing Assessment
If your sewer line has failed, it's worth understanding the condition of the rest of your plumbing before the next problem surprises you. We offer thorough assessments that look at supply lines, drain lines, and fixture connections throughout your home. On older Spicewood properties, catching aging pipe issues early is far less costly than reacting to failures.

Benefits of Sewer Line Replacement in Spicewood
- Eliminates recurring backups and the expense of repeated service calls that never fully solve the problem
- Protects your property and well water from contamination caused by a leaking or failing sewer line
- Modern PVC pipe is far more resistant to root intrusion and corrosion than the clay or cast iron often found in older Spicewood homes
- Increases home value and provides clear documentation for buyers or insurers that the sewer system is in sound condition
- Gives you long-term peace of mind on a property where calling a plumber at a moment's notice isn't always easy
We Know Spicewood Homes
Spicewood properties tend to be spread out on large lots carved from the Hill Country, with homes that range from modest ranch houses built in the 1970s and 80s to newer custom builds. The older homes often still have original cast iron or clay drain lines that have been quietly degrading for decades, and the limestone bedrock that makes this area so scenic creates real complications when you need to excavate. We've done this work out here and we know what it takes to get through caliche and rock without turning a sewer job into a week-long ordeal.
The prevalence of well water and septic systems in the Spicewood area also changes how we approach every job. When your water supply and your waste system are both on your property, a sewer failure isn't just an inconvenience — it's a potential contamination risk you can't ignore. We take that seriously. Cold is on the Right brings the kind of careful, thorough work that people in this community expect from a contractor they're trusting with their land and their household.
Proudly Serving Spicewood and Surrounding Areas
Cold is on the Right serves Spicewood and the surrounding Hill Country communities, including Bee Cave, Lakeway, Dripping Springs, and Steiner Ranch.

Whether you're off RM 71, near Lake Travis, or deeper into the Hill Country, we'll come out and get the job done right.

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!
