Local Story: San Gabriel River Trail Near Brookhurst & Talbert
Had a job last spring over by Brookhurst and Talbert, not far from the San Gabriel River Trail. Homeowner had a slow-draining toilet, then the shower started backing up. Their old cast iron pipe cracked from root pressure and age.
We ran our camera and found the break near a big pine tree in the front yard. We marked the spot, got city clearance, and did a trench spot repair the next morning. Also installed a proper cleanout near the sidewalk for next time.
Took under 6 hours, and we left the yard clean and safe. They didn’t even need to leave home. That’s the kind of work we like—quick, local, and right.

Common DIY Mistakes with Sewer Lines
Some folks rent a snake from the hardware store, but that’s only a band-aid. Snakes won’t fix broken or sunken pipes. Worse, we’ve seen DIY jobs punch holes through pipe joints or make the problem worse.
Another mistake? Digging without knowing where gas and electric lines are. We pull permits and check locates every time.
Also—people using rented snakes that don’t have the right “feel” can easily get tangled in roots or push right through the side or bottom of a weak old pipe. Now you’re stuck with a bigger problem, and it’s urgent.
