Last Thanksgiving, a family in the Medical Center area called us just after 10 PM. Their main sewer line had backed up an hour before guests were set to arrive, and water was rising in their basement. Three other plumbers either didn't answer or pushed them to Monday.
Our team arrived in under 45 minutes, ran a camera down the line, and found exactly what we suspected: tree roots had worked their way into aging clay pipe. Hydro-jetting cleared the blockage completely. Two hours after that first panicked phone call, the family's holiday went on as planned.
San Antonio's older neighborhoods come with real plumbing challenges: galvanized pipes in historic homes, hard water mineral buildup, and weather swings that put stress on systems year-round. We know these issues intimately because this city is our home too.
