Clogs in Deer Valley Homes
Deer Valley homes range from the 1970s and 1980s near the Deer Valley Airport and I-17 to newer builds further north. Older homes may have a mix of cast iron and ABS drains, while newer ones are all ABS.
In practice, most of the drain calls we get here come down to the same few causes: kitchen grease, bathroom hair and soap, toilet paper and wipes, and in older homes, main lines that need attention. The trick is figuring out quickly whether you have a single clogged fixture or a main line problem.
The Buried Cleanout Problem
Main line clogs are cleared through the exterior sewer cleanout, a capped pipe usually near the foundation on the side of the house closest to the street. In Deer Valley, rock and gravel landscaping is common, and over the years cleanouts get buried under it. Some were never easy to reach in the first place.
If we cannot reach the main line from a cleanout, we can go through a toilet or roof vent, but a cleanout makes the job faster and gentler on the plumbing. If your home does not have an accessible one, we can talk about adding one, which makes every future clog easier to deal with. See our Deer Valley sewer line page for more.
Signs It Is the Main Line
- More than one drain is slow at the same time
- The tub or shower fills with water when you flush
- Toilets gurgle when a sink or washer drains
- Sewage smell in the house or yard
If you see any of those, stop running water and call. For how we choose between cabling and hydro jetting, see our Peoria drain cleaning page.
Kitchen and Bathroom Drains in Deer Valley
Not every Deer Valley drain call is a main line problem. Most are single fixtures: a kitchen sink with years of grease in the line, a bathroom sink full of hair, a tub that takes ten minutes to drain.
For kitchens, we clear the line behind the cabinet and, for heavy buildup, use hydro jetting to clean the pipe walls. For bathrooms, we clear the stopper, trap and branch line. For tubs, the clog is often right below the drain in the overflow assembly.
Older Homes Near the Airport
Homes from the 1970s and 1980s near the Deer Valley Airport and the I-17 may have a mix of drain materials, including some cast iron that has scaled up inside. Those lines can clog more often because the rough interior catches debris. If you are clearing the same drain every few months, let us look at why.
Why Explaining the Cause Matters
Denton Y. mentioned in his review that Alex explained the cause of his clogs so he could prevent them in the future. That is how we approach every drain call. Knowing why a drain clogged is how you avoid paying for the same fix twice.

Alex from Alex and Bros. was outstanding from start to finish. He was honest in his assessment of the project, clearly explained my options, and completed the work promptly and professionally. His pricing was fair, especially considering the quality of the work.

It’s refreshing to find someone who is both skilled and trustworthy. I would absolutely use Alex and Bros. again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an honest, reliable plumber.
Garrett Young
Alex was upfront about the cost and timeframe. Great communication on his end which is important cause I’m busy and I’m sure he is too. He came when he said he would. He was ultra courteous, explained the details of the job and did the work quickly. I will use him again for future plumbing needs.

Deer Valley Drain Questions
Where is my sewer cleanout?
Usually near the foundation on the street side of the house. In Deer Valley, it is often buried under rock landscaping. We can help find it.
Can you add a cleanout if I do not have one?
Yes. Adding an accessible cleanout makes future main line clearing faster and less invasive.
Why is my shower filling up when I flush?
The main line is likely blocked. Water backs up into the lowest drain first.
Do you offer same-day drain cleaning in Deer Valley?
Often, yes. We are close by in Peoria.
