Apex Plumbing & Mechanical Piping · 12 S 3rd Ave, Yakima
A 15-person commercial team for new construction and mechanical rooms, a service department on call around the clock for homes, and the yearly backflow test the city requires. Estimates are free.
Homes in Selah and Yakima, plants in Toppenish and Sunnyside, job sites from Ellensburg and Wenatchee to the Tri-Cities and Moses Lake.
As-built, sheet by sheet
Five of Apex's own installs, from a warehouse slab to a kitchen sink. Once the concrete is poured or the drywall is up, nobody sees this work again, which is exactly why it has to be right.
Sheet M-101 · Radiant slab
Serpentine radiant PEX loops laid across an entire warehouse floor, every run headed back to its manifold. After the slab goes down the layout is permanent, so loop spacing and routing are settled first. Apex designs and installs radiant heat for homes, businesses and warehouses.
Sheet M-102 · Mechanical room
Twin commercial water heaters with a water softener, the supply and return piping insulated along the wall and overhead. Boilers and commercial-size water heaters are core commercial work for Apex, together with the gas and air piping that feeds the equipment.
Sheet M-103 · Risers
Painted risers, copper branches, isolation valves and a pump on a housekeeping pad: the part of a building nobody looks at until something stops. On the mechanical side Apex installs hydronic heating, chillers, VAV boxes and fan coil units as well as the plumbing.
Sheet P-201 · Eye wash
A combination emergency shower and eye wash station set on an exterior wall while work continues overhead on the lift. Eye wash stations sit on Apex's commercial list next to new water service, waste lines and sump pump systems.
Sheet P-301 · Kitchen
A farmhouse sink and pull-down faucet set under a kitchen window. The service department handles faucets and sinks, garbage disposals, toilets, water heaters, leaks and water or sewer line repipes for homes across the valley.

Backflow testingJob note · New business space · Yakima Valley
“I hired Apex to install new plumbing in my new business space. Despite a few obstacles, they got the job done! A few months later, we noticed some unpleasant smells. The Apex team came back multiple times over the next few weeks, determined to solve the problem. It turned out to be a loose fitting under the floorboards, which they fixed promptly. Their persistence and dedication to resolving the issue were impressive and appreciated!”
“Best hourly rates of any plumbers in town! RJ and Alex installed a couple high-end toilets with smart bidets in no time. These experts were polite, clean, and helpful. Plus, Emily scheduled my job right away and could not have been nicer. I will use Apex from now on for any of my plumbing needs and nobody asked me to write this review!”
“I had an outstanding experience with Apex and their services. From the first initial phone call to the scheduling, then accommodating on changing to an earlier time. Apex team and their knowledgeable plumber Rj, are an excellent team!!! Keep up the great work!”
Ryan McNett · Owner and general manager
From journeyman to owner
Plumbing was meant to be a summer job after high school. It became the career: seven years at Bock Plumbing, then Apex in 2001, a management role by the end of that first year and general manager a couple of years later.
He joined Apex's six-owner group and in 2011 took full ownership. Today he still runs everything from estimating jobs to managing the crew, and says the relationships with clients matter more than anything else.
