Drain Cleaning Reche Canyon Colton Homes Can Rely On
Reche Canyon homeowners call us for slow drains, backed up toilets, flooded yard drains and long lines that need clearing. The canyon sits on Colton's east side along Reche Canyon Rd, with bigger lots and homes set into the hills. Let us know what is going on, and we will share a cost range and a time.
Life in the canyon is different from life on the flat streets in town, and so is the plumbing. Long runs of pipe, slopes and a mix of sewer and septic mean we ask a few extra questions before we roll.
Life and Plumbing in the Canyon
Reche Canyon has a character all its own.
- A rural community: Larger lots, hillside homes and open land make the canyon feel far from town, even though it is part of Colton.
- Famous burros: Wild burros have roamed these hills for decades, and drivers on Reche Canyon Rd learn to watch for them.
- Old names: The canyon was once known as Homhoa Canyon, and a Tongva village called Homhoangna stood near the base of its foothills.
- Rail and road: Freight tracks run through the area, and Reche Canyon Rd is the main way in and out.
- Sewer or septic: Some canyon homes may be on septic systems, while others connect to a sewer line.
Canyon Homes and Their Lines
Hillside Homes
Homes built into slopes often have long laterals running downhill. Pipe can settle on a slope and form low spots where waste collects.
Rural Lots
- Bigger lots can mean long lines from the house to the street or tank.
- Long lines give roots more places to get in.
- A cleanout near the house makes clearing long lines much easier.
Septic Homes
When a home drains to a septic tank, slow drains everywhere can point to a full tank rather than a blocked pipe. We help you tell which before any work begins, and we let you know if a septic pumping company is the right call.
What Reche Canyon Owners Ask For
- Main lines: For homes on sewer, main sewer line cleaning in Reche Canyon clears long laterals from the cleanout.
- Yard drains: Hillside runoff makes storm drain cleaning in Reche Canyon a must before the rainy season.
- Camera checks: A sewer camera inspection shows sags, roots and where your line actually goes. A sewer camera inspection Reche Canyon owners book can also map the line before a remodel.
- Roots: Trees on big lots send roots into long lines, so tree root removal comes up often.
- After hours: Our emergency drain cleaning team makes the drive up the canyon at night and on weekends.
- Jetting: Hydro jetting Reche Canyon lines need for silt, grease and root hair.
Reche Canyon Roads We Drive
