Commercial Drain Cleaning in Austin & Central Texas

CSC Pipe Inspection cleans commercial drains for restaurants, hotels, schools, hospitals, warehouses, multifamily common lines, municipal facilities and property management groups across the Austin metro. We clear grease, sludge, scale, roots, sand and construction debris from floor drains, kitchen laterals, grease interceptor leads, area drains, roof drain leaders and building mains - then camera the line so you can see it is actually clean instead of taking a work order's word for it.

Why contractors choose this service

  • Drain cleaning crews dispatched from our Austin yard, including after-hours and weekend calls
  • Grease, scale, roots, sand and construction debris removed to full pipe diameter, not bored through
  • CCTV verification after cleaning so you get documented proof the drain is clear
  • Vacuum recovery on the same mobilization so debris leaves the building, not the next manhole downstream
  • Recurring maintenance schedules that keep kitchens, interceptors and common lines out of emergency status

Common use cases

  • Restaurant and food-service kitchen drains, dish pits and interceptor leads
  • Hotel, school, hospital and office building floor drains and mains
  • Multifamily and HOA common-area drain lines
  • Warehouse, distribution and manufacturing trench and area drains
  • Parking garage and site area drains carrying silt and grit
  • Municipal facility drain maintenance programs

On-site workflow

Our process

  1. 01

    Identify the blocked run

    We confirm which fixtures are affected, locate cleanouts and interceptors, and determine whether the issue is a single lateral or the building main before any equipment goes in the line.

  2. 02

    Clean the line properly

    Cable machines, high-pressure jetting and vacuum recovery are matched to the drain size, pipe material and blockage type so the full inside diameter is restored and the debris is hauled off.

  3. 03

    Camera and document

    A CCTV run after cleaning shows the pipe wall, flags any bellies, breaks or root intrusion behind the blockage, and gives you video and a written summary for the property file.

  • Old clay lateral in Hyde Park, roots at every joint. They jetted it, ran the camera, and gave us a clean PACP-coded report the City accepted for the tap permit. No back-and-forth.

Drain Cleaning FAQ

Frequently asked

What counts as commercial drain cleaning?

Any drain line serving a business, institution, municipal facility or multifamily common area - kitchen laterals, floor and trench drains, interceptor leads, area and roof drains, and building mains. We are a commercial-only contractor and do not take single-family residential calls.

How fast can you get to a blocked commercial drain in Austin?

Crews mobilize from our Austin yard, so most metro calls are covered same day and emergency backups are often reached within a couple of hours. Outlying Central Texas addresses are typically same-day or next morning.

Do you clean restaurant kitchen drains and grease lines?

Yes, and it is some of our steadiest work. Grease lines are jetted rather than cabled so the pipe wall is scoured instead of a hole being bored through the grease. Most kitchens run a 60 to 90 day schedule, which is far cheaper than a Saturday night shutdown.

Will you camera the drain after cleaning?

Yes. Every cleaning can include a post-cleaning CCTV run with NASSCO PACP coding, footage marks and sonde-located dig points if a defect shows up behind the blockage. That video is what makes a repair scope defensible to an owner or engineer.

Can you clean drains without shutting down the facility?

In most cases, yes. We schedule kitchens between service periods, warehouses between shifts and offices after hours so cleaning happens around your operation rather than through it.

Do you offer recurring commercial drain maintenance?

We run monthly, quarterly and semi-annual programs for restaurant groups, property managers and municipal facilities. Each visit is documented, so you have a maintenance history for the building and for any health or code review.

What about roots and hard scale in older commercial lines?

Root-cutting and scale-removal nozzles on our jetting rigs restore the line immediately. The follow-up camera run then tells you whether the pipe itself needs a spot repair, a liner or a full replacement, so you are budgeting from footage rather than a guess.

How much does commercial drain cleaning cost?

It is priced by drain size, number of runs, blockage severity and access, with separate after-hours and recurring maintenance rates. Send the address, the affected fixtures and cleanout access and we will send a firm quote, usually the same business day.

How do I know your drain cleaning findings will hold up with an owner or reviewer?

Every observation is coded to NASSCO PACP standards and delivered with the HD video, footage marks, and a written summary, so the owner's rep, engineer, or municipal reviewer can check the call against the footage instead of taking our word for it. NASSCO/PACP certified operators, 25+ years in Central Texas pipe work, and full commercial and municipal insurance with COIs issued the same day.

Do you provide drain cleaning in Austin and the surrounding cities?

Yes. Commercial Drain Cleaning is one of our core commercial services across Austin and the metro, including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Leander. We run out of Cedar Park and cover roughly a 100 mile radius of Austin, so crews reach most Travis, Williamson, and Hays County sites the same week and often the same day for emergencies.

How fast can a drain cleaning crew mobilize to an Austin site?

Most Austin jobs are scheduled within one to three business days, with emergency mobilization available for active backups or shutdowns. Austin is about 20 miles from our yard, and neighboring cities such as Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park are typically same-day reachable. Call (737) 618-0219 and we will confirm a window before you commit.

Can you handle traffic control and permits for drain cleaning in Austin rights-of-way?

Yes. For work in Austin streets, alleys, and public easements we coordinate traffic control, provide certificates of insurance, and document the work so the City reviewer, the GC, or the owner's engineer can accept it. The same process applies in Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown and other Central Texas jurisdictions we work in weekly.

Will your drain cleaning reports be accepted by Central Texas municipalities?

Yes. Deliverables are NASSCO PACP coded with HD video, footage marks, still images, and a written summary, which is the format Austin area public works departments, engineers, and general contractors expect. We have delivered accepted reports across Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville and the wider Central Texas market.
