Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting

A slow drain is annoying. A blocked one shuts down your kitchen or bathroom. We clear drains the right way and tell you why it clogged so it doesn't come back.

Cabling vs. hydro jetting

A drain cable (snake) punches through the clog and is right for hair, soap and simple blockages. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the full inside of the pipe, removing years of grease, scale and roots. For recurring clogs, jetting is the fix that lasts; we'll recommend the one your drain actually needs.

Drains we clear

Kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, tubs and showers, toilets, laundry and floor drains, outdoor area drains and main lines. If a drain keeps clogging, we can run a camera to find the cause — a belly in the pipe, roots, or a broken section — instead of guessing.

Honest advice on prevention

Most kitchen clogs are grease and food; most bathroom clogs are hair. We'll show you what we pulled out and what to change. No upsells, no chemical treatments that eat your pipes.

What's included

  • Kitchen & bathroom drains
  • Tub, shower & toilet clogs
  • Hydro jetting for grease & roots
  • Main line clearing
  • Camera inspection on recurring clogs
  • Same-day service

Questions about drain cleaning

Is hydro jetting safe for older pipes?

We inspect the line first. Jetting is safe for sound cast iron, clay, ABS and PVC; on badly deteriorated pipe we'll recommend a different approach.

Can I use liquid drain cleaner first?

We'd rather you didn't — it rarely clears a real clog and it damages pipes and seals. A professional cleaning costs less than a corroded drain line.

I had a fantastic experience with Apex Plumbing service. From the moment I called, they were responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with. The plumber arrived right on time, quickly diagnosed the issue, and explained everything clearly before getting started. It was determined that the root cause of the problem was a sewer backflow pipe issue, which falls under the responsibility of the HOA. Unfortunately, this led to sewage backing up into my garage and causing damage. The plumber handled the situation efficiently and with great attention to detail. They not only addressed the immediate issue but also ensured everything was clean and in proper working order before leaving. It’s clear they take pride in their work and genuinely care about customer satisfaction. While additional repairs such as drywall replacement, sanitation, and mold treatment are still needed, those are the responsibility of the HOA to address. I really appreciated their honesty and fair pricing—no surprises or unnecessary upselling. It’s such a relief to find a reliable plumber you can trust. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of quality plumbing services! 

Nick and his team were just top notch. We had another national plumbing company quoted us $7K to fix a sub-pump issue, and Nick figured it out in like half an hour, no charge. I’m not kidding. He didn’t even accept a tip— said we should just use APEX again in the future if something needed fixing. Thank you Nick! 

Apex plumbing is top notch. I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs you have. I had an issue with an exterior leak and Nick was able to meet me on time and diagnose and fix the issue. Call Nick he will take care of you.

Highly Recommend! We had an outstanding experience with this plumbing company! Nick, the owner, came out to switch a toilet for us and was everything you hope for in a local professional—punctual, friendly, and very fair priced. He took the time to explain exactly why our old toilet wasn’t working properly and even offered helpful suggestions on a few DIY projects my not-so-handy spouse has going on. Nick was incredibly generous with his time, knowledge, and energy. It’s rare to find someone who goes above and beyond simply because they care about doing things right. We’ll absolutely be calling him for any future plumbing needs and recommending him to friends and neighbors. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable plumber, look no further!

Not only did they send someone out right away but the 2 plumbers they sent out went out of their way to assess and take care of our problem, which happened to be a fork stuck in our washing machine drain. Boy did we have a good laugh about that. I would definitely call them again for any future plumbing issues and highly recommend their company.
