Drain Cleaning, Hydro Jetting & Sewer Inspections

Advanced Clog Clearing & Diagnostics in Sonoma & Napa Counties

Whether you are dealing with a single stubborn sink clog or a backed-up main sewer line, APES Plumbing and Heating has the specialized technology to clear it fast. We deliver five-star service on residential and light commercial drains, getting your pipes flowing smoothly with upfront, transparent pricing.

The Root & Sludge Elimination Experts

Since 2003, we’ve been clearing the toughest blockages across the Greater Sonoma County and Napa region. We don't just temporarily punch a small hole through a clog—we solve the core issue.

Our highly trained service technicians come equipped with multiple advanced drainage tools, allowing us to accurately inspect your underground piping, diagnose structural problems, and completely scrub your lines clean without causing unnecessary damage to your property.

Mainline & Drain Services

High-Definition Sewer Video Inspections

Don’t guess what’s wrong underground. Our cutting-edge sewer cameras travel directly into your lines to broadcast real-time HD footage of the interior walls.

Spot the Problem

We instantly see if your line is cracked, sagging, or completely riddled with heavy tree roots.

Save Thousands

Knowing the exact point of failure allows us to perform targeted spot repairs rather than replacing an entire sewer system blindly, saving you thousands of dollars.

Specialized Drain Cleaning

No matter if your lines are choked with grease, thick toilet paper, tree roots, or heavy sludge, we carry the right equipment for the job. Our technicians utilize an array of four distinct cable types and a variety of specialized cutting bits to mechanically break down hard obstructions and push them safely out of your home.

Commercial-Grade Hydro Jetting

For severe grease buildups, food scraps, or older cast iron pipes, Hydro Jetting is the industry’s gold-standard cleaning method.

How It Works

We blast pressurized water through specialized reverse-action nozzles to slice through blockages and completely scour the pipe walls clean.

Why Choose Jetting

Traditional snakes only poke a temporary hole through grease or sludge. Hydro jetting washes everything away, leaving old cast iron and sewer lines in a pristine, like-new interior condition. It lasts significantly longer and is completely safe on your structural lines.

Preventative Maintenance Plans

Drain emergencies always seem to happen at the worst times. We offer custom bi-annual and annual hydro jetting and sewer maintenance programs for residential homes and busy commercial spaces to completely eliminate untimely drainage shutdowns.

Snake vs. Hydro Jet: Which One Do You Need?

Traditional Snaking

Best used for simple, localized clogs like a single bathroom hair clog, toy obstruction, or small paper block. It mechanically breaks up the physical mass quickly.

Hydro Jetting

Required for complex main sewer line blockages, scale accumulation inside cast iron, and tree root intrusions. While it is slightly more of an upfront investment, it completely cleans the entire pipe diameter rather than just piercing the clog, keeping your drains clear for a much longer period.

Decided to replace my gas water heater with a new gas water heater before the state requires electric. I've dealt with Apes before with HOA repairs and have liked them , but this was the first time I used them for my personal home. The work was done cleanly and fast, and the two workers were pleasant and courteous. Highly recommended!

Spencer and crew completed a job that was not easy to accomplish. They worked in tight spaces, and summer heat. My house has a slab with vaulted ceilings, which makes plumbing, wiring, hvac a real pain. The workmanship and engineering was top notch. They were professional, communicative and efficient. This is the second install APES has done for me and it was the same service and results both times.

Bryan's service was exceptional. I called Apes Plumbing on July 4th because our electric water heater was not working. Bryan came over within a hour and determined that it was too old and rusted to be fixed. He then made an appointment to install our water heater, so we were able to have to have hot water with minimal down time.

The only plumber I’ll ever use again! We had an issue at our restaurant and another plumber quoted us a $15,000 multi-day repair. Apes came in and fixed the issue in minutes and it cost $175. They are always prompt returning calls and coming out to fix issues. The plumbers know what they’re doing and most of all, they are honest and I trust them to not b.s. or price gouge me. I’ll never use anyone but Apes ever again!
