A drain that keeps slowing down after you clear it usually has a reason: buildup inside old piping, a sag that holds water, a cracked section, or a poorly pitched connection from an earlier repair. Older homes in the area often still have cast iron or galvanized drain lines that narrow from the inside over time.

Apollo Plumbing & Drain assesses leaking joints, damaged sections, and deteriorated drain piping. We explain whether a focused repair or a replacement section makes sense for the condition and layout of your system.

Project scope is confirmed before scheduling and is subject to the requirements of the municipality where the work will be performed.

Signs your drains need attention

  • Sinks, tubs, or showers that drain slowly or gurgle
  • Clogs that keep returning in the same fixture
  • Odors coming from floor drains or fixtures
  • Visible rust, cracks, or seepage on cast iron or galvanized drain pipe
  • Water backing up into a lower fixture when another is used
