How Rialto Grew, and Why It Matters for Pipes
A city's history shows up in its pipes, and Rialto has a long one.
- An 1880s colony: Rialto was founded in 1887 by the Semi Tropic Land and Water Company and became a city in 1911.
- Route 66 runs through it: Foothill Blvd became part of Route 66 by 1930, and it is still the town's main east and west road.
- A 1950s boom: The population jumped from about 3,156 in 1950 to more than 15,000 by 1956, and thousands of homes went up in those years.
- A big city now: Rialto is home to more than 100,000 people today, plus large regional distribution centers.
- Old landmarks: The 1906 Congregational Church building now serves as home base for the Rialto Historical Society.
Homes from that 1950s boom are now around 70 years old, and their drain lines show it.
Rialto Homes and Pipe Types
What is under your floor depends mostly on when your neighborhood was built.
Postwar Homes South of Foothill
Many older neighborhoods south of Foothill Blvd were built in the 1950s and 1960s. Lines from that era are often cast iron inside and clay outside, so rust, scale and roots are common.
Newer Tracts to the North
Homes north of Foothill tend to be newer, with PVC or ABS lines. Clogs there are usually kitchen grease or bathroom hair, not failing pipe.
Rental Homes and Multi Unit Buildings
- Many Rialto homes and apartments are rented.
- Shared lines in multi unit buildings clog faster.
- Tenants often do not know where the cleanout is, so we find it for them.

Local Pointers for Rialto Homeowners
- City or private line? Check with the City of Rialto about the sewer main on your street. If neighbors are fine and only your home backs up, it is likely your lateral.
- Older home? Ask for a camera check if your home dates to the 1950s or 1960s and clogs keep coming back. The video shows if roots or rust are behind it.
- Kitchen habits: Wipe grease into the trash, and run cold water with the disposal.
- Find your cleanout: It is often near the front of the house or along a side yard. Keep it clear of plants so a tech can open it fast.
We also serve drain cleaning in Bloomington to the south and drain cleaning in Fontana to the west.
