Drain Cleaning and Sewer Backup Help in the High Desert
A slow drain is easy to ignore until the day it stops completely, or until a clogged main line pushes wastewater back into your home. Rapid Response provides drain cleaning in Victorville and across the High Desert, from single clogged fixtures to main sewer lines, and we are one of the few drain services that can also clean up after a backup.
Single drain or main line?
The first question is where the clog is. A single slow sink or tub usually has a clog close to that fixture. When several drains back up at once, when the tub fills as the toilet flushes, or when the lowest drains in the house overflow first, the problem is in the main line. Main line clogs need fast attention, because every gallon of water used in the house has nowhere to go but back up.
What causes clogs in High Desert homes
The most common causes we see are:
- Grease, oil and food scraps in kitchen drains
- Hair and soap buildup in showers, tubs and bathroom sinks
- Wipes and paper products flushed down toilets, even ones labeled flushable
- Mineral buildup from hard water narrowing older lines over time
- Damaged or sagging sections in older main lines
Cleaning up after a backup
When a sewer line backs up into a home, clearing the clog is only the start. Sewage soaks into carpet, pad, baseboards and drywall and leaves bacteria behind. Because Rapid Response is also a water damage restoration company, we extract contaminated water, remove materials that cannot be safely cleaned, sanitize the area and dry it out. If wastewater is coming up right now, call our 24/7 emergency plumber line. If the sewer line itself is cracked or full of roots, see sewer line repair, and for cleanup after a backup see sewage cleanup.
