Quality Drain Cleaning Tips from Your Local Experts at Advanced Problem Solutions

Clogged or slow drains can disrupt your daily routine and cause costly damage if left untreated. At APS, we understand how frustrating drain problems can be, which is why we offer professional drain cleaning services with upfront pricing and a commitment to quality because we care. As a locally owned company, we take pride in serving our community with honest, reliable service that puts your needs first. In this post, we’ll share how APS approaches drain cleaning, what makes our service stand out, and practical tips you can use to keep your drains healthy between professional visits.

How APS Does Drain Cleaning Differently

At APS, we believe quality drain cleaning starts with understanding the root cause of the problem. Our technicians use advanced tools and techniques to inspect and clear drains efficiently. Here’s what sets our service apart:

• Thorough Inspection

We don’t just clear visible clogs. Using video camera inspections, we identify hidden blockages, pipe damage, or buildup that could cause future problems. This helps us provide a lasting solution rather than a quick fix.

• Professional Equipment

Our team uses industrial-grade drain snakes, hydro-jetting machines, and other specialized tools to remove grease, hair, soap scum, and debris that accumulate inside pipes. Hydro-jetting, for example, blasts water at high pressure to clean pipes without damaging them.

• Locally Owned and Operated

Being part of the community means we care about your home and your experience. We treat every job with respect and transparency, ensuring you understand the process and pricing upfront.

• Upfront Pricing

We provide clear, honest estimates before starting any work. No hidden fees or surprise charges. This approach builds trust and helps you make informed decisions.

Our $50 dispatch fee is the only upfront fee besides our hourly rate. We have no hidden trip charges, diagnostic fee, or required fees for additional services that we do not disclose up-front. We value honesty and doing the job right!

• Quality Service Because We Care

Our goal is to solve your drain issues quickly and effectively while protecting your property. We stand behind our work and offer follow-up support if needed.

Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning

Knowing when to call a professional can save you time and money. Watch for these common signs:

• Slow draining sinks, tubs, or showers

• Gurgling sounds coming from drains

• Foul odors near drains or toilets

• Water backing up into sinks or tubs

• Frequent clogs despite DIY attempts

  
  

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s best to schedule a professional inspection before the problem worsens.

Tips for Maintaining Healthy Drains at Home

Regular maintenance can prevent many drain problems. Here are some practical tips to keep your drains flowing smoothly:

• Avoid Pouring Grease Down the Drain

Grease solidifies in pipes and causes buildup. Instead, collect cooking grease in a container and dispose of it in the trash.

• Use Drain Screens

Screens catch hair, food particles, and debris before they enter the drain. Clean them regularly to maintain effectiveness.

• Flush Drains with Hot Water Weekly

Pouring boiling water down your drains helps dissolve soap scum and minor grease buildup.

• Limit Chemical Drain Cleaners

Harsh chemicals can damage pipes and harm the environment. Use enzyme-based cleaners or call a professional if clogs persist.

• Be Mindful of What Goes Down the Drain

Avoid flushing items like wipes, paper towels, coffee grounds, and large food scraps.

• Schedule Regular Professional Cleanings

Even with good habits, buildup can occur over time. A professional cleaning every 1-2 years helps maintain pipe health and prevents emergencies.
