Hydro Jetting
Water at pressure, scouring the pipe wall back to bare instead of punching a hole through the grease.
The job behind the photograph.
A commercial drain problem is rarely only a drain problem. A restaurant with a slow floor drain is a health inspection and a closed kitchen. An apartment stack backing up is every tenant on that line at once. A parking structure with silted area drains is standing water and a liability. So the work is planned around what the building actually does, and the hours are the building’s hours, not ours.
On site that means containment goes up before the first cut: plastic floor to ceiling, benches and equipment sheeted, negative pressure where the work warrants it, and a route in and out that does not run through anywhere in service. Overhead cast iron gets worked off ladders and coupled back with shielded no-hub bands. Grease lines get jetted rather than cabled, because a cable buys a restaurant three weeks.
Property managers and owners get the camera footage, because a repair on somebody else’s building has to be defensible to a board, a landlord or an insurer. And the whole crew works one property at a time: the person who quoted your building is on your building, which is the only way the second visit knows what the first one found.
Contained
Before anything opens
Floor to ceiling plastic, equipment sheeted, a route that avoids the floor in service.
Scheduled
Around trading hours
Nights and closed days on kitchens and retail where the work allows it.
Documented
Footage you can forward
Boards, landlords and insurers want to see the pipe, not a line on an invoice.
Property types
Restaurants to apartment stacks
Retail units, parking structures, multifamily, and the mainlines under all of them.
Book a visit
Get somebody out to the property.
Which fixtures are affected and roughly how long it has been going on is enough to start with. If it is backing up right now, the phone is faster than the form, and it is answered at any hour.
