"The Clean Plumber made an appointment for the next day, showed up on time, brought the proper equipment, and snaked the drain for a reasonable price. The job was guaranteed for 30 days. When a subsequent back-up occurred, the technician came back the following day, re-snaked the line, and cleaned it again. We have had no further blockages. Thanks"
"Eric R. from ABC arrived on time and was
friendly, courteous and professional in introducing himself and explaining how he would proceed to determine the cause of the problem. After checking out the overall situation, he gave me an estimate to decide if I wanted to proceed. Eric efficiently accomplished the task, and showed me pictures of what was causing the drain clogs, and gave me tips for preventing future problems. This was really helpful! He also pointed out some other potential issues that we are now aware of, to keep an eye and budget for repairing in the future. Overall excellent experience!"
"We had a large water retention problem in our back yard. There was standing water in our yard every time it rained. Craig came and put in a yard drain system for me. It included attaching all our gutter down spouts and a few surface drain basins and ran them out to my front yard close to the street. When he got into the project he had to make some adjustments to get the right pitch. He had to run it a little longer than first planned. He also found a lot of roots and filler junk. Because of those things it took a couple days more. They worked in the heat every day. They had to move some landscaping but they put it back the same way it was. Craig was very good at keeping me updated. It has only rained once since job was completed but I did see water coming out where it should. He did a great job at a reasonable price. He is definitely worth calling to see if he help you with your project."
"Apex Plumbing is fantastic! I had a leak in my front yard and called them, and they scheduled someone to come out the very next morning. The technician arrived on time, was professional, and incredibly easy to work with. They located the leak immediately, and the pricing was definitely worth every penny considering the amount of work involved. I’ll absolutely continue using Apex Plumbing and have already recommended them to several friends. Thank you to Joe, Mike, and Bobby for your excellent service!"

"I had the leak inspection team out for $350 to detect where a leak could be. Then I had to pay $550 to dig down less than 2 feet to get to the pipe. Then $450 to repair the pipe. The technician Mike Ramirez did a good job and kept me informed along the way. It just seemed very expensive to spend $550 to dig a small hole."
Drain Pipe Installation questions, answered by experts
Drain pipes carry wastewater from sinks, toilets, showers, and other fixtures to the main sewer line. They’re typically located within the walls and floors and beneath a home’s foundation. Meanwhile, sewer pipes transport collected wastewater to a septic tank or a municipal sewer system.
It can take anywhere from half an hour to a few hours to fix a main line clog, depending on the cause and severity of it. The job should not take more than a day to complete. Keep in mind that the main line is not the same as your home’s sewer lines (which connect to the main line and run to your house). Your city is responsible for any clogs or damage to the main line itself.
Some homeowners use additives every month to help septic system performance, but according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the effectiveness of septic system and leach field additives is unknown. Further, additives made with organic solvents or alkali chemicals can actually be harmful to the necessary bacteria in a septic system.
It is okay to use a drain auger on a toilet, just make sure you are using the correct tip size. The auger is a plumbing snake with a protective sleeve to protect the porcelain toilet bowl from getting scratched. Using too large of an auger can cause the snake to loop back and damage the inside of the drain and plumbing.
To prevent drain clogs, perform regular maintenance and cleaning. Avoid disposing of substances like grease or coffee grounds down the sink. Additionally, installing and routinely using drain strainers can help catch debris and prevent blockages from forming.
