When sewage backs up into your home or your restaurant’s grease trap overflows during business hours, you need experienced professionals who understand the urgency and solve the problem correctly the first time.
That’s exactly what Drane Ranger delivers. Since 1985, we’ve been Houston’s trusted partner for urgent situations. We prioritize emergency calls and mobilize quickly to address your crisis with the right equipment and expertise.
When Every Minute Counts: Recognizing True Emergencies
Some situations cannot wait for a scheduled appointment. Here’s when you need emergency response:
Drains backing up into your home signals a system clog, equipment failure, or overfilled tank. Every minute means more contamination and property damage.
Bad smells from drains or around your tank indicates equipment failure or an overfilled system needing immediate attention.
Soggy lawn and water buildup near your tank means your system is overfilled or equipment has failed.
Slow drainage in kitchen sinks can indicate grease accumulation about to cause a complete backup during your busiest hours.
Visible grease in unusual places like floor drains warns that your trap is approaching failure.
These warnings mean without immediate action, you’re facing a much bigger problem.
The Real Cost of Delaying Emergency Service
For immediate safety, keep people and pets away from any overflow or wet area on your property.
A failure could cost you significant money with extensive cleanup. If you’re a commercial or industrial property, system failures can result in massive environmental cleanup costs and fines.
A residential septic backup doesn’t stay contained. The longer you wait, the more areas become affected, and repair bills multiply rapidly. What starts as a single backed-up drain can quickly spread throughout your plumbing system.
For restaurants, a grease trap showing warning signs won’t fix itself. By the time it fails completely, you’re dealing with backups that disrupt operations and create compliance issues with local regulations. Kitchen downtime means lost revenue and potential violations.
What True Emergency Response Looks Like
After 30+ years in Houston, we’ve learned exactly what emergency situations require:
Licensed and certified professionals who arrive prepared. Our technicians inspect your entire system to ensure all equipment is working properly. They identify whether you’re dealing with simple overload, equipment failure, or more complex issues—then address the immediate crisis while preventing repeat failures.
The right equipment for any situation. Our fleet of vacuum trucks handles everything from residential septic failures to commercial grease extraction and industrial waste situations.
Environmental responsibility even under pressure. As a Better Business Bureau accredited company, we handle all waste safely and dispose of it properly. We’re committed to doing emergency work correctly—even when shortcuts would be easier.
Emergency Solutions for Every Crisis
Commercial grease trap emergencies require understanding Houston’s quarterly cleaning regulations. We extract overflowing grease and clear blocked lines quickly while minimizing disruption to your business operations.
Residential septic failures need immediate pumping and thorough inspection. We identify the root cause—overload, equipment problems, or drain field issues—and help you understand what maintenance will prevent recurrence.
Lift station and wet well problems involve multiple components. We provide thorough cleaning and maintenance to restore proper function with the specialized knowledge these systems require.
Industrial waste situations require capacity for large-scale extraction with proper disposal procedures. Our vacuum truck fleet handles high-volume emergencies while maintaining environmental compliance.
From Emergency to Prevention
Most emergencies announce themselves before they happen. That slow drain isn’t improving—it’s a blockage building until something fails. Those occasional odors aren’t random—they’re gases escaping through developing problems.
After we resolve your emergency, we’ll help you understand what led to it. Companies that thrive use their first crisis as motivation to implement regular maintenance schedules.
We can set you up with service intervals designed around your needs—quarterly grease trap cleaning to comply with Houston regulations, septic pumping every 2-3 years, or customized business schedules.
