FAQs
How do I know my sewer line is clogged?
Common signs include multiple drains slowing down, gurgling sounds, sewage smells, or water backing up in a tub or shower. If plunging does not help, the blockage may be in the main line. A sewer camera inspection confirms the cause.
What causes sewer backups in San Antonio homes?
Tree roots are a big cause, especially in older yards with mature trees. Grease, wipes, and heavy buildup can also choke a line. Shifting soil and aging pipe joints may create low spots that trap waste. We find the exact cause and fix it.
Is a sewer camera inspection worth the cost?
Yes, because it removes guesswork. Instead of digging or clearing blindly, we see where the problem is and what it looks like. That helps you choose the right repair and avoid paying for the wrong service. You also get video proof.
Can you repair a sewer line without replacing it?
Often, yes. If the damage is limited to one area, we can repair that section and restore proper flow. If the line is collapsed, severely corroded, or has repeated failures, replacement may be smarter. We explain both options after diagnosis.
How fast can PlumbSmart handle sewer emergencies in San Antonio?
If you have a backup or overflow, call right away. We prioritize urgent sewer issues because they can damage floors and create health risks. Availability depends on the day and demand, but we will give you the earliest window and keep you updated.

PlumbSmart — San Antonio
You can call us for assistance 24 hours, 7 days a week.
San Antonio is growing fast, and many neighborhoods mix older sewer lines with new construction. Clay soil can shift when it dries out, then swells after rain, which stresses underground pipes. Add mature trees, cooking grease, and occasional winter freezes, and sewer lines can crack, sag, or clog. When that happens, problems show up inside the home fast and get expensive.
PlumbSmart is a local San Antonio plumbing team focused on clear communication and solid workmanship. From a simple sewer camera inspection to a tough main line repair, we help you understand the problem and the next best step.
Every sewer situation is different, so we match the fix to your home and budget. We can clear heavy buildup, remove root intrusions, repair damaged pipe sections, or talk through replacement when needed. You will get straightforward pricing and a plan that prevents repeat backups.
Sewer service is not only for emergencies. Routine checks can catch small issues before they turn into a major cleanup. With periodic drain cleaning and a camera inspection when you notice changes, you can spot roots early, find low spots, and confirm the line is still intact. We also share simple habits that protect your system, like what not to flush and how to reduce grease going down the drain.
