Older Houston neighborhoods still run on cast iron and clay sewer lines that crack, settle and fill with tree roots, while newer homes deal with grease and wipes. A good drain company finds the cause with a camera rather than just snaking the line and leaving.
These Houston companies specialize in drain and sewer work. Each entry notes its strengths.

Mr. Rooter’s Houston franchise offers drain cleaning and video camera inspections to locate breaks and root intrusion.

For repeat clogs, ask for a video inspection so you know whether the line is broken, bellied or full of roots.
Snaking clears a path. Hydro jetting scours the pipe walls and lasts longer for grease and roots, but it should not be used on badly damaged pipe.
Ask how long the drain is guaranteed to stay clear.
If the camera finds a break, ask whether they do spot repairs or trenchless lining.
Roto-Rooter, Zoom Drain and Rooter-Man cover emergencies, TX Hydrojet leads on jetting and grease, and Texas Quality and Mr. Rooter are strong for residential drains and diagnosis.
Ask for a camera inspection if the same drain clogs twice.
