Why South Congress Homeowners Call Us First
South of the river, 78704 packs more drain variety per square mile than anywhere in Austin. Vintage 1930s bungalows off South Congress, post-war cottages near St. Edward's, garage apartments and ADUs tucked behind almost everything: each one drains differently. The classic SoCo pattern is a kitchen added to a house that never had one, draining into a 60-year-old trap and a clay lateral that already runs slow. ADU kitchens share lines with the main house, so grease from two kitchens lands in one aging lateral. Zilker-area oaks add root pressure at yard joints, and older lines shift as soils move.
In 78704, treat an ADU drain as part of the main house system, not a separate one. Grease from the ADU kitchen and the main kitchen share one lateral, so both kitchens need strainers and grease discipline. If two fixtures back up together, the blockage is in the shared main, not in either sink trap.

South Congress Homes and Their Drains
Small vintage bungalows from the 1930s through the 1970s dominate, mixed with alley-loaded ADUs and a growing number of modern infill homes. Kitchens are often compact, and drain runs are short but old, with cast iron and clay sections still in service. Many bungalows still have original two-wire electrical, which matters less for drains but signals how little the plumbing has been touched.
