Drain Cleaning Fontana CA Families and Landlords Call
From slow kitchen sinks to whole house backups, Drain Cleaning Colton handles drain trouble for Fontana homes, rentals and shops. We head west from Colton along Interstate 10, through Rialto and Bloomington, so Fontana is well within reach. Expect a cost range on the call.
Fontana is a big city with two very different halves. Older homes to the south and newer homes to the north clog for different reasons, and we plan each visit around that.
A Steel Town That Kept Growing
Fontana's story explains a lot about its homes and pipes.
- Kaiser Steel roots: During World War II, Henry J. Kaiser built a steel mill here, one of only two west of the Mississippi at the time. The site is still a working steel mill today, run by California Steel Industries.
- Incorporated in 1952: Fontana became a city after the war, as workers and families moved in.
- Huge growth: The population went from about 128,929 in 2000 to 208,393 in 2020, with large new neighborhoods in the north.
- Freeways everywhere: Interstate 10 and State Route 210 cross the city east to west, and Interstate 15 cuts through the northwest corner.
- Historic roads: Foothill Blvd was part of Route 66, and Valley Blvd was U.S. Route 99.
Two Halves, Two Kinds of Pipe
South Fontana's Older Homes
Many homes south of the freeway date from the 1940s through the 1970s. Cast iron drains and clay laterals from that time rust, scale and let roots in.
North Fontana's Newer Tracts
Large neighborhoods built from the 1990s on use PVC and ABS. Clogs there are usually grease, hair or wipes rather than broken pipe.
- Two story homes have long vertical stacks that collect hair and soap.
- Landscaping that has grown in over 20 years can now reach laterals with its roots.
Rentals Across Town
- Many Fontana homes and apartments are rentals.
- Buildings with several units share pipes, so one tenant's habits affect the rest.
- Landlords often call for main line cleaning between tenants.
