Common Hays projects

  • Long private lateral CCTV
  • Unmapped utility locating
  • New service extension potholing
  • Drainage and low-water crossing cleaning

How we work in Hays

A predictable process, on every Hays County job

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Site walk & locate

    Tech arrives on your Hays property, walks the run with you, and locates cleanouts, laterals, and any utilities marked by 811 before anything gets uncapped.

  3. 3

    CCTV inspection

    Calibrated crawler travels the full line, with a live monitor you can watch. Common Hays County issues like long private lateral CCTV get flagged in real time.

  4. 4

    PACP-coded report

    Every defect is coded to NASSCO PACP standards, mapped by footage from the cleanout, and delivered as a PDF plus the raw video - usually before we leave Hays.

Repeat backups at a Kyle multifamily common line

Apartment community common sewer, Kyle · Sewer Jetting & CCTV Inspection

The problem

The management company was paying a plumber to cable the same common line every few months and charging it to the operating budget as an emergency each time. Residents in four units bore the disruption. No one had documented why it kept happening.

Our approach

  1. Scoped the common line first so the board could see the cause instead of paying for another blind cabling call
  2. Cut roots mechanically, then hydro-jetted the full 90 ft run back to the pipe wall
  3. Mapped the two mature trees over the affected joints so the recurrence had an explanation on paper
  4. Ran a verification scope the same visit and set a monitored annual interval from the observed regrowth rate

What the camera found

  • Fine root intrusion at nearly every joint across a 90 ft run of aging clay common line
  • Scale and grease buildup narrowing the effective diameter between root masses
  • Two mature trees mapped directly over the affected joints, explaining the recurrence
  • No collapse or major structural failure, so cleaning and monitoring was the right call

Measurable results

  • Root-cutting and hydro-jetting restored full diameter with a verification scope run the same visit
  • Video evidence converted a recurring emergency spend into a scheduled annual maintenance line item
  • Board approved a monitored maintenance plan instead of a speculative pipe replacement

Sagging main under a Buda warehouse slab, mapped before demo

Warehouse conversion, Buda near I-35 · CCTV Pipeline Inspection & Locating

The problem

An engineering firm was designing a tenant conversion in an older warehouse and needed to know whether the existing under-slab sanitary could carry the new use. The as-builts were incomplete and the demo package was already out for pricing.

Our approach

  1. Inspected the under-slab sanitary before the demo package was priced, not after award
  2. Measured standing water depth at each sag as a percentage of diameter so the design team could judge capacity
  3. Sonde-mapped full alignment and depth and paint-marked the run on the slab
  4. Delivered a corrected as-built with the video so the design and demo scopes matched the real pipe

What the camera found

  • Two sags holding standing water, the deeper one at roughly 30 percent of pipe diameter
  • Abandoned branch line still tied in and holding stagnant water
  • Grade adequate on the remainder of the main for the proposed occupancy loads
  • Full alignment and depth mapped by sonde and marked on the slab for the design team

Measurable results

  • Design team routed new fixture groups to the sound portion of the main and limited slab demo to the two sag locations
  • Abandoned branch cut and capped during demo instead of being discovered mid-construction
  • Marked alignment on the slab let the demo contractor price saw-cutting precisely rather than carrying a contingency

Grease line failure at a San Marcos campus-area kitchen

Campus-area restaurant building, San Marcos · Sewer Jetting & CCTV Verification

The problem

A high-volume kitchen was days from a health inspection with a floor drain that would not clear. The operator had already replaced fixtures inside the building on the assumption the problem was upstream of the slab.

Our approach

  1. Responded same day given the pending health inspection and scoped before selling any work
  2. Jetted the kitchen line back to bare cast iron and cleared the submerged interceptor outlet tee
  3. Confirmed on camera that the cast iron was sound, ending the fixture replacement theory
  4. Set the pump-out and jetting interval from measured grease loading and left the video on file for the inspector

What the camera found

  • Kitchen line reduced to a narrow opening by layered hardened grease across a long run
  • Interceptor outlet tee partially submerged in accumulated solids
  • Cast iron underneath the grease sound with no pitting failure or holes
  • Backups traced to maintenance interval, not to the fixtures that had been replaced

Measurable results

  • Jetted to bare pipe and verified on camera before the dinner service the same day
  • Passed the health inspection that week with documentation on file
  • Interceptor pump-out and jetting interval reset around the actual grease loading, not a guess

Showed up when they said they would, ran the camera the whole line, and sent us the video the same afternoon. Made the Hays permit walk-through painless.

We had a shallow gas line right where we needed to set piers. Their hydro crew potholed four spots in Hays without a single hit. Worth every dollar.

Called on a Friday, got a jetter on-site Saturday morning. Cleared roots we'd been fighting for months and gave us camera footage so the HOA stopped arguing.

Hays FAQ

Questions we hear from Hays customers

How do I request a quote for a Hays project?

Send your Hays site address, scope (footage, pipe size, access points), plans or photos and a requested completion date. Call (737) 618-0219, email info@cscundergroundservices.com, or use the quote form on this site - most quotes go out the same business day.

Do you charge a travel or trip fee to Hays?

No standard trip fee for scheduled Hays and Hays County work on a normal route. Rush, after-hours or remote-access mobilizations are quoted transparently up front so there are no surprises on the invoice.

Are you licensed, insured and NASSCO certified for work in Hays?

Yes - CSC Pipe Inspection is fully licensed, insured and NASSCO certified. Certificates of insurance naming your GC, owner or Hays/Hays County agency as additional insured are available on request before mobilization.

How soon can you be on-site in Hays?

Most standard Hays projects are scheduled within 1-3 business days. Same-day and after-hours response is available for active-site emergencies, flooded structures and construction-schedule urgencies - call and we'll dispatch the closest crew.

Do you handle both one-off and recurring work in Hays?

Both. We take single-project calls (a stuck line, a pre-purchase inspection, a utility pothole) and we run scheduled recurring programs - monthly grease-line jetting, quarterly catch basin cleaning, annual storm-system CCTV - for Hays property managers, HOAs, MUDs and facility teams.

Can you coordinate CCTV, jetting, vac-truck and locating on the same Hays mobilization?

Yes - that's the point of running one crew. We routinely combine cleaning, camera inspection, hydro-excavation and private locating on the same Hays visit so you get one schedule, one contact, one invoice and one accountable contractor.

Do you serve Hays, TX?

Yes. Hays is part of our regular service area - we're 25 miles away. Call (737) 618-0219 for a same-day quote.

What underground utility services are available in Hays?

We offer all five core services in Hays: CCTV pipeline inspection, hydro-excavation, pipe jetting, potholing and daylighting, and private line locating.

How fast can CSC reach a job in Hays?

From our Cedar Park yard we're roughly 25 miles from Hays, so a booked crew is typically on your Hays County property the same day and within a two-hour arrival window. Emergency call-outs after mon - fri 7:00 am - 6:00 pm (after-hours available) are dispatched as soon as a truck is free.

Do you serve commercial sites near FM 1626?

Yes - FM 1626 and the rest of Hays are inside our daily service radius. We run inspection, hydro-excavation, and jetting trucks through Hays County every week and know the utility layout, soil, and permit path for the area.

Will my Hays report be accepted by municipalities and engineers?

Every Hays sewer scope we deliver is a PACP-coded PDF plus the raw video, formatted the way engineering firms, public works reviewers, and Hays County municipal desks expect. If a reviewer needs clarification on a defect code we'll get on the phone with them at no extra charge.

What does a typical CCTV inspection cost in Hays?

Commercial sewer scopes in Hays generally run in the same range as the rest of the Austin metro - we quote a flat price in writing before the truck leaves Cedar Park, based on line length, access, and whether you need PACP coding. Call (737) 618-0219 for a specific quote on your Hays County address.

Acquiring or renovating in Hays?

Get a pre-acquisition pipe inspection before you close on a Hays commercial site.

A property condition assessment usually stops at the slab. Our pre-acquisition CCTV survey runs a color camera from the cleanout or manhole to the city tap so Hays investors, property managers, and engineering firms know the true condition of the sanitary and storm lines before capital is committed. You get the video, a written PACP-coded defect log, and a repair scope you can price into the deal.

  • Scheduled dispatch that fits Hays due-diligence and bid deadlines.
  • Reports formatted for lenders, insurers, and reviewing engineers.
  • Tenant-friendly: we coordinate access with property management and site staff.
