Story: Shower Drain Repair Near Chapman & Brookhurst
We had a job over by Chapman Avenue and Brookhurst Street. Lady called us out after trying some baking soda-vinegar trick she saw online. Water still wasn’t draining, and now it smelled like bad salad dressing. Turns out, the hairball was about 4 feet in and wrapped tight around the pipe wall. We used a flex shaft with a camera head and cleared it clean in minutes. No chemicals. No tub mess. She told us she thought she’d have to rip up tile—glad we saved her the drama.
What It Means to Clear Shower Stoppage in Garden Grove
Shower stoppage just means water’s not draining like it should. Most of the time it’s hair buildup wrapped in soap residue. Other times it’s deeper—like tree roots invading a cracked line or a collapsed trap. First thing we do is check the flow. If it’s slow but moving, we test the line with a small cable or hand auger.
Next step, we cable it with the right size head, usually a 1/4″ or 3/8″ for tubs and showers. We spin it through while flushing water to keep the line clean. If it don’t clear or backs up again, we bring out the mini jetter or camera scope. Some houses got old cast iron drains that catch everything like sandpaper—that’s when we might hydro-jet or flex shaft polish it clean.

Common DIY Shower Stoppage Mistakes
One guy used a shop vac and sealed the drain with duct tape. The vac filled with water—and hair—and blew it back up the overflow pipe.
A woman tried pouring boiling water down a fiberglass shower pan. Cracked the pan. Had to file an insurance claim.
Another guy pushed a coat hanger in like a fishing hook. Got it stuck so deep it took us 30 minutes to extract before we could even cable it right.

What Local People Say About Us
FAQs – Clear Shower Stoppage Garden Grove
How do I know if I have a real shower stoppage?
If water’s pooling around your feet and draining super slow, that’s a clog. Gurgling or smells can mean it’s deeper down the line.
Do I need to use chemicals for a shower clog?
Nope. Most clogs clear better with a cable machine or flex shaft. Chemicals often just sit there and corrode pipes.

Yep. We’ve cleared stalls, tubs, pans—doesn’t matter. We protect the finish and work clean.

Most are done in under 45 minutes unless the clog’s deep or pipe’s damaged.
