What Our Drain Cleaning Service Includes
Every drain call includes the diagnostic work, the mechanical clearing, and the confirmation that the line is actually clear.
Work order
Drain Cleaning- Camera Inspection: We run a RIDGID sewer camera down the line before and after cleaning. You see the clog, the pipe material, and the condition of the walls. This is included on every drain call, not an upsell.
- Mechanical Clog Removal: Auger, snake, or hydro jetting, whichever the clog requires. We do not stop at the first sign of flow. The line gets cleared back to the main or to bare pipe wall, depending on the method.
- Multi-Fixture Flow Test: After clearing, we run two or three fixtures at once to confirm the branch and main are both moving. If water still stands, we keep working. You do not pay for a line that is still slow.
- Trap and Cleanout Check: We pull the P-trap where accessible and check the cleanout for debris. Loose fittings, worn gaskets, and damaged cleanout caps get noted so you can decide whether to repair them now or later.
- Findings Walkthrough: Before we pack up, the technician walks you through what the camera showed. If there is a root joint, a low spot, or a section that needs watching, you hear about it in plain language with a photo or screen capture.

What Drain Cleaning New Braunfels TX Really Involves
A drain that backs up once will back up again unless the whole line is cleared. We camera it, clear it, and confirm the flow before we leave.
Drain cleaning New Braunfels TX is the process of removing grease, soap scum, hair, scale, and root intrusion from the pipes that carry wastewater away from your home. It is not just plunging a sink until the water drops. We pull the P-trap, run a drain snake or auger through the branch line, and when buildup is heavy, follow with a hydro jetting machine that scours the pipe wall back to bare PVC or cast iron. A sewer camera confirms the line is clear before we pack up.
Most calls we get in New Braunfels start the same way: a kitchen sink that drains slower every week, a tub that gurgles when the toilet flushes, or a floor drain that backs up after a long shower. Hard water across Comal County leaves scale inside pipes, and older homes near Downtown and Gruene often still have original cast iron that snags debris. If you have been searching drain cleaning New Braunfels TX near me and putting it off, the blockage only gets denser.
- What it is
- Mechanical removal of grease, hair, scale, and roots from drain lines.
- When it helps
- Slow drains, gurgling fixtures, backups, and recurring odors.
- What you get
- Camera footage, cleared line, and a flow test before we leave.
How Our Drain Cleaning Process Works
You get a clear sequence, a clear price, and a clear line. Here is exactly what happens from the call to the final camera check.
Tools and Methods We Use
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
Delivers 3,000 to 4,000 PSI of water through a specialized nozzle to scour grease, scale, and roots off the pipe wall. Used on main lines and heavy buildup.
Mechanical cable tools for branch lines and soft clogs. The right choice when the blockage is close to the fixture and the pipe is fragile.
Cordless cameras and lights used to check traps, cleanouts, and tight spaces where a full sewer camera will not fit.
For pulling traps, replacing worn gaskets, and making minor repairs on the spot. We carry PVC, CPVC, and copper fittings on the truck.

How Drain Cleaning Works in New Braunfels
New Braunfels sits on some of the hardest water in Central Texas, and that changes how drains behave here. Scale builds up inside pipes faster than in softer-water cities, which narrows the line and gives debris more surface to grab.
Gruene
Many homes here date to the mid-1900s and still have cast iron drain lines. We use gentler snaking methods on these pipes and camera them more often to check for pitting.
Vintage Oaks
Larger homes with long drain runs and multiple bathrooms. We see hair and soap scum clogs in the branch lines and occasional root intrusion in the yard lateral.
River Chase
Newer PVC systems with clean installations. Clogs here are usually grease in the kitchen line or hair in the master shower, both quick single-visit clears.

PhotoKitchen Sink Cleared in Gruene
Before: A 1950s home in Gruene had a kitchen sink that drained in about 90 seconds and smelled like old grease. The homeowner had used chemical openers three times with no lasting result. The trap was packed with hardened grease and food particles.
After: We pulled the trap, augered the branch line, and jetted the pipe wall clean. Drain time dropped from 90 seconds to under 8 seconds. The odor was gone the same day. Camera confirmed bare cast iron with no new damage.
Main Line Jetted in Downtown
Before: A restaurant on the west side of Downtown had a floor drain backing up during dinner service. Grease had built up over years and narrowed the main lateral to about a third of its original diameter. Service was at risk of shutting down.
After: We jetted the main with 4,000 PSI, cleared the grease, and camera-confirmed full flow from the floor drain to the city tap. The restaurant ran dinner service that night without a backup. Flow test passed with all kitchen fixtures running.
Shower Drain Restored in Vintage Oaks
Before: A master shower in Vintage Oaks was pooling two inches of water around the homeowner's feet. Hair and soap scum had matted inside the trap and tailpiece. The drain also smelled musty after each use.
After: We pulled the strainer, cleared the trap, and flushed the line. Drain time went from over four minutes to under 20 seconds. The musty smell disappeared once the organic matter was removed. Camera showed clean PVC with no damage.
Drain Problems We Solve in New Braunfels
Most drain calls fall into a handful of categories.
Kitchen sink drains slowly and smells
Grease and food particles coat the pipe wall and harden.
Tub or shower pools around your feet
Hair and soap scum build a mat inside the trap and tailpiece.
Multiple drains back up at once
When the toilet, tub, and sink all back up together, the clog is in the main lateral.
Drain gurgles when you flush
Gurgling means air is being pulled through the trap because the line is partially blocked downstream. It is the early warning before a full backup.
Floor drain backs up after rain
In older New Braunfels neighborhoods, storm water and groundwater can overwhelm a slow floor drain. The result is a wet slab, damaged flooring, and potential mold.
Why Clear Drains Matter
A slow drain is a warning, not a nuisance.
Stop Repeat Backups
A line cleared properly stays clear far longer than one that was plunged.
Protect Your Pipes
Chemical drain openers eat at pipe walls and rarely clear the whole blockage.
Kill the Odor
That smell under the sink is decaying organic matter coating the pipe. Once we clear and flush the line, the odor goes with it.

What New Braunfels Customers Say
Our kitchen sink had been draining slow for weeks and we kept putting it off. Comal Crest came out the same day, ran a camera, and showed us the grease clog on their screen. Cleared it with the jetter in about 40 minutes. Price was exactly what they quoted on the phone. No mess left behind either.
Both bathrooms were backing up and we thought it was a main line problem. Turned out to be hair and soap scum in the branch lines. The technician cleared both drains, tested them with the showers running, and explained how to keep them clear. Fair price, showed up on time, and did not try to sell us anything extra.
We run a busy kitchen and our floor drain was backing up during service. Comal Crest came out before we opened, jetted the line, and had us running by lunch. They now come every six months on a schedule. That alone has saved us two service days a year.

Comal Crest Plumbing handles drain unclogging across New Braunfels and Comal County, including Gruene, Creekside, Veramendi, and River Chase. We carry augers, snakes, and a hydro jetting machine on the truck, so most clogs clear in one visit. Call (737) 707-1110 and we will get you on the schedule, usually the same day.
In Texas, kitchen lines benefit from professional cleaning every 18 to 24 months, and main sewer lines every two to three years. Hard water in Comal County speeds up scale buildup, so homes with older cast iron may need it closer to every 12 to 18 months. If your drains slow down between cleanings, that is your signal to call.
Yes, in most cases. A slow drain almost always means partial blockage from grease, hair, soap scum, or scale. Mechanical cleaning removes that buildup and restores full flow. If the camera shows a collapsed pipe, root intrusion, or a belly in the line, cleaning alone will not solve it, and we will tell you that straight and walk you through the repair.
