Homes around the boulevards near Olmos Basin Park are predominantly 1920s and 1930s construction, and drain lines age on a schedule. In Olmos Park 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.
The recurring issue in Olmos Park is original cast-iron drain lines that have corroded from the inside out. That is not a coincidence — protecting mature landscaping and hardscape during sewer work puts steady stress on the drain path, and a line under stress catches everything that passes through it.
Where a home has no accessible cleanout — common in Olmos Park given protecting mature landscaping and hardscape during sewer work — we will quote installing one. It costs something once and saves money on every drain call afterwards.
