A Real Job Near Mile Square Park – Fountain Valley
Back in early spring, we worked a job near Brookhurst and Heil, just south of Mile Square Park. The homeowner called about a bathroom sink that stopped draining after weeks of slowing down. She had tried one of those zip tools and even baking soda with vinegar, but nothing worked.
We ran a small inspection camera and found the clog just past the trap. The buildup was thick with dried toothpaste, lotion residue, and hair wrapped around the inside of the pipe. Our tech used a flexible mini-snake made for 1¼” lines, followed by a rinse with a micro jetter. Took about 35 minutes. Water drained smooth after that and no mess was left behind. She told us the smell was gone too.
How You Know It’s Time to Clear Your Bathroom Sink Stoppage

Common DIY Mistakes Homeowners Make in Fountain Valley
We see a lot of people use liquid drain openers over and over. That might work for a day or two, but most of the time it just softens the clog or damages the pipe glue inside the trap. Wire snakes from the store tend to twist and get stuck. One homeowner even melted the bottom of a plastic P-trap by pouring boiling water down there.
The real issue is that without seeing the clog, you’re guessing. We use new cameras and smart augers made for narrow bathroom drain lines. It’s safer and gets it done right.
