Dexter & Travis
September 2026
An Apex homeowner reported that the pan at the bottom of the unit serving the whole home had too much condensation and was overflowing. He thought it needed cleaning but wanted to know if there was more to the issue.
Dexter and Travis found that the drain was clogged up. They flushed the drain pipe to clear the clog. The homeowner planned to remove the remaining water from the pan.
Jeorell
August 2026
An Apex homeowner was experiencing an overflowing HVAC drain pan that was causing the unit to shut off. They had to manually empty the pan multiple times as it refilled quickly.
Jeorell found that the drain line had a clog, which was causing the overflow in the drain pan. Jeorell removed the remaining clog from the drain line. After clearing the blockage, he tested the HVAC system to ensure it was cooling properly.
The HVAC system was functioning normally and cooling effectively by the time Jeorell left.
If your HVAC drain pan is overflowing, it might be due to a clog in the drain line. Regularly check and clear your drain lines to prevent overflows and potential water damage.
Nick & Travis
February 2026
The tenant of an Apex home reported that the whole home was not draining properly.
Nick found standing water at the clean out outside the foundation and at the drop service nearest the street, and after temporarily unclogging the drain he got a visual of a heavy root intrusion on the drop service, approximately 4 feet deep. On the return visit, Nick and Travis dug down 4 feet and replaced the drop service with a sanitary tee and a new standpipe with a clean out cap to prevent future root intrusion. Nick also recommended taking down the tree across the driveway, which potentially initiated the issues.
After the work was completed, the team confirmed everything was flowing properly and root free, and the work is guaranteed for five years.

We always provide upfront pricing after diagnosing the issue. No surprises.
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.
