Nick & Travis
February 2026
An Apex homeowner was experiencing poor drainage throughout their home.
Nick discovered standing water in the clean out and drop service near the street, indicating a heavy root intrusion approximately four feet deep.
Nick and Travis excavated the area to a depth of four feet and replaced the drop service, which included installing a new sanitary tee and standpipe with a clean out cap. They ensured the new installation was root-free and guaranteed the work for five years.
The drainage system was restored to proper function, with no further root intrusion issues.
Consider removing trees near your drainage lines to prevent root intrusion and potential damage.

Kitchen drains clog from grease, food particles, and soap buildup. Bathroom drains collect hair, soap scum, and toothpaste. Main lines can be blocked by tree roots, flushed items that shouldn't be flushed, or pipe deterioration. Slow drains often indicate buildup that will eventually cause a complete blockage—addressing it early is easier and cheaper.
During the holidays, avoid putting turkey grease, potato peels, or fibrous foods down the garbage disposal. Run cold water for 30 seconds after using the disposal. In bathrooms with extra guests, use drain covers to catch hair. Never flush anything but toilet paper—not even 'flushable' wipes. Consider scheduling a preventive drain cleaning before hosting large gatherings.
