Drain cleaning services in Lemoore, CA

Drain conditions in Lemoore

Lemoore has a core of prewar raised-floor homes along older streets, and those commonly sit on clay laterals with a few plastic repairs spliced in. The town is flat, so the pipe runs on a slow, even grade, and that favours roots finding the joints. Big old trees line many of the older blocks, and their roots look for the moisture inside a sewer line.

Tell the call-taker which part of town you are in, since that often tells the crew what pipe and what foundation to expect. Ask where the cleanout is; on a raised house it may be near the front or side, sometimes buried under soil. When a house is rented, say who can reach the cleanout. After a snake clears the line, ask whether a camera look is worthwhile if the problem has returned. Calls from Hanford, Riverdale, Caruthers and Corcoran get the same questions.

Prewar raised homes

Older blocks have prewar homes on raised floors with clay laterals and iron branches repaired a piece at a time. Every Lemoore home is a little different, so describe yours when you call.

More on this: raised-foundation drain clogs and clay sewer lateral clogs.

Big old trees

Big old trees send roots toward any joint that leaks. Homes across Kings County vary a lot by age and lot, so treat this as general guidance.

See tree root removal.

Base housing and turnover

Many homes are rented to base families who move every few years, so a line near its limit may change hands before anyone learns its history.

Ask for a copy of any footage. See sewer scope: buying or selling.

What to say when you call from Lemoore

• Give the build decade if you know it. Homes from before the war are more likely to have clay in the lateral.
• Say whether the house has a raised floor or a crawl space. It tells the technician how the line runs under the home.
• Say whether a tree stands between the house and the street, and how large it is.
