"Price was exactly as quoted. He was able to tell me over the phone based on the age of my house about what size tanks. Asked for price and he said that it would be $250 for primary tank and an additional $100 if he needed to do the second. We had not had this service performed since we moved in 8 years ago. Once on-site, he said that he could see some 'discoloratization' and recommended that it be done, but did not hard sell it at all. I went ahead and authorized the cleaning of the second tank. Afterwards, he said that he thought it was a good idea that I had it done. He also said now that given the number of people in the home the primary tank shouldn't have to be done again for another 4-5 years and second tank maybe not ever if system stays healthy. Job was finished is about 30 minutes. Very pleasant and professional, used on a referral from my neighbor. Only rated him a "B" on quality since, well, how would I know? I'm not going down there!"

"Great! The plumber who came to our house had 40+ years of experience. He knew exactly how to address our plumbing problems and even educated me on how to easily and simply test for toilet seal leaks and how to keep the kitchen drains and garbage disposal in better condition. I really appreciated that! He worked extra hard at unsticking the garbage disposal blades to save us the cost of purchasing a new one when ours was still in good condition. I felt he treated our house and our plumbing problems with as much care and thought as he would his own. But that's typical of the experience I've had with this company through about 15 years of using their services. They are exceptional!"

"Anthony and the Apex crew did fantastic work for us installing a French drain system in our backyard, and a new drainage system for our driveway and replaced our full driveway and front porch. Anthony was communicative and professional and worked hard to earn our business. His crew had the French drain system finished up in one day, and the concrete crew wrapped up their work in three days. Everything looks great, the crews were friendly and approachable, and worked hard to get everything done right. Highly recommended!"

"I’m so glad I went with APEX Pros. I was under the misconception that going with the bigger companies meant more money yet, I have had small business owners give extremely high estimates even without expressing the full scope of the job. I have also been taken advantage of by the smaller companies several times. With APEX Pros, the technician Romerial was extremely knowledgeable and was able to diagnose the job quickly. There were some broken support brackets from the drain pan and so everything was draining to the floor. In order to cool we had to swim basically. Floor was covered and each tech before APEX and Romerial had no clue what to do. It’s been going on for months and now I have a dry basement. The technician explained the job, showed me exactly what was going on, walked me through the full scope of the job, then estimated the time at two hours, brought a level of calm and comfort to me that I had not not even once during the hvac issue. I definitely recommend them."

Drain Cleaning questions, answered by experts

You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.

If you’re not using a septic system, problems with your home’s plumbing won’t cause this—it’s a city problem. A large blockage in the municipal sewage lines may cause those lines to back up into your home. This is extremely unpleasant and can be a serious health risk due to bacteria and other contaminants. If this occurs, call a pro (or your city) immediately.

As a preventative measure, hydro jetting should be done every one to two years. However, the best practice is to hydro jet your sewer line once per year. The ideal frequency depends on several factors, including the age and condition of your pipes, how prone they are to clogging, how often the sewer line is used, and the type of waste disposed of in the system. If you frequently experience clogs or are unsure, it's best to ask a licensed plumber for a recommendation specific to your plumbing system.

Usually it’s fine to leave a toilet clogged overnight, as long as it’s not close to overflowing. In some cases, the extra time may give the clog time to work itself out. For example, if it’s caused by an excess of toilet paper, letting it sit could result in the clog dissolving and you may be able to simply flush it away by the time you wake up. 

Only let it sit though if you have more than one toilet in the home.

If your drain doesn’t have metal crosshairs or crossbars, you should use a tub drain extractor. These tools create a grip on the drain so you can turn it using a 1/2-inch ratchet drive, drain key, or wrench. Your drain may not have crosshairs if it's old and broken.
