Drain Line Repair Fountain Valley
If your drain keeps backing up no matter what you try, the problem might be in the line itself. We handle drain line repair in Fountain Valley for homes with broken, offset, or root-filled lines—fast, clean, and code-approved.
Sometimes it’s a belly or dip in the pipe. Other times it’s cracks, roots, or corrosion. We start with a high-def sewer camera and find out what’s actually causing the clog. Then we get it fixed without tearing up your whole yard or driveway.
Most repairs are done the same day. We use modern tools like flex-shaft machines, epoxy sleeve patches, and pipe-bursting heads for bigger jobs. No outdated methods, no guesswork. Just honest fixes that last.
If your line keeps giving you trouble, Call us (714) 964-3519 or schedule online. Let’s fix it for good before it becomes a full collapse.
Story: Fountain Valley Home Near Mile Square Had Sinking Patio
About a year ago, a couple near Mile Square Park and Brookhurst started noticing the bricks on their patio sinking. At first they thought it was just settling, but then the tub started draining slow and gurgling.
We scoped the line and found a deep break under the back slab. Water had been leaking out for months and softened the soil. We used a pipe-bursting system to replace that 25-foot section without ripping up the whole patio. The new HDPE line slid in with no seams, no trench, and no more backup.
They were shocked we did it in a day—and relieved they didn’t need to rebuild their patio.
How to Prep for Drain Line Repair
We’ll handle the hard stuff, but here’s a few things that can help keep your bill lower and the job quicker:
- Clear access to the suspected problem area (side yard, crawl space, or slab exit).
- Move plants or decorations if it’s outside.
- Don’t flush or drain water before we arrive unless it’s already backed up.
- If you’ve got past plumber notes or video, have them ready.
We bring all the tools and handle cleanup. But a little prep keeps things moving.
DIY Mistake: Pouring Concrete Before Testing
This happens more than you’d think. A homeowner or handyman repairs the pipe, fills the hole, pours fresh concrete—then finds out the patch didn’t hold.
You always gotta run a pressure test or camera after a repair. If the slope’s wrong or the joint didn’t fuse, you’re gonna dig it up all over again.
Another one? Just patching the visible crack, not checking the whole line. Most of the time, damage goes way farther than you see.
We test everything before we backfill. Always.
