Homes around the redeveloped campus along South New Braunfels are a mix of mid-century South Side homes and new post-2010 development, and drain lines age on a schedule. In Brooks City-Base we see the full range: modern PVC that simply needs clearing, and older clay or cast-iron laterals where the clog is a symptom of the pipe itself.
In the Brooks City-Base area of San Antonio, some of the most active expansive clay in Bexar County is the complicating factor. It is why a drain here can run fine for months and then back up twice in a fortnight, and why we camera before recommending anything beyond a standard clearing.
Where a home has no accessible cleanout — common in Brooks City-Base given some of the most active expansive clay in Bexar County — we will quote installing one. It costs something once and saves money on every drain call afterwards.
