Man, you haven't seen bad clogs till you've dealt with Abilene drains. We’ve got a story about a call from a family near Elm Creek - their kitchen sink backed up during a big Sunday dinner. Turns out those pecan trees had busted through their pipes! After helping 3,000+ Abilene homes with drain problems, I've learned what works and what doesn't in our crazy soil.
Our soil and water create unique problems:
Clay soil shifts and breaks pipes
Hard water builds up fast
Tree roots love our old pipes
Grease clogs happen more here

Each neighborhood's got its thing:

South Abilene: Mineral buildup
Wylie: Builder-grade pipe issues
Buffalo Gap: Well system clogs
