About AAPCO Plumbing & heating in Ontario, CA

The best defense is to avoid pouring fats, oils, and grease (FOG) down the drain. Instead, let grease solidify in a can and dispose of it in the trash. For homes prone to buildup, we recommend professional drain cleaning and can install or repair a garbage disposal with a powerful motor to handle food waste more effectively, reducing the risk of clogs.

No, it's best to address slow drains early. In Ontario's hard water areas, recurring slow drains often signal buildup or a partial blockage deeper in your pipes. Our plumbing inspection service can use a camera to locate the issue. Early drain repair or a professional cleaning can prevent a complete clog, which often requires more extensive and costly pipe repair.

Absolutely. For homes with persistent issues, upgrading your system can help. A new, properly sized water heater ensures adequate hot water pressure. Installing a hot water recirculation pump provides instant hot water, reducing the water wasted while waiting, which can lessen sediment buildup in pipes—a common contributor to clogs and inefficiency in our area.
