Story From a Job in Pacific Shores – Fountain Valley
A few months ago, we helped a family near Talbert and Brookhurst in the Pacific Shores neighborhood. They had an upstairs shower that was draining slow for weeks, then one day it just stopped. Water wasn’t moving at all. The homeowner had tried one of those plastic hair snags and even poured vinegar down the drain—nothing worked.
We scoped the line using a new compact camera system and found the clog about three feet deep. Turns out someone had dropped a tiny plastic shampoo cap in there months ago and it finally stuck sideways in a bend. We cleared it using a flexible jetter tip made for 1.5″ pipe and ran hot water to confirm the line was clean. No drywall touched. No cutting. Just good tools and knowing what to look for.
Common Signs You Need Clear Shower Stoppage Fountain Valley

And if there’s standing water left behind after use, that’s a problem that usually won’t go away on its own.

Common DIY Mistakes Homeowners Make

They bend too easy, they jam, or worse—they shove the clog deeper. We’ve seen coat hangers twisted and stuck, harsh chemicals eat pipe glue, and even one case where a garden hose was jammed down the drain. It split the pipe. Our equipment is built for tight bends and older fittings. Newer machines, smarter cable heads, and scoped visuals let us do the job without making things worse.
