How to Remove Kitchen Grease in your Drain Line Top Secret!

This is a top secret tip for removing grease from your kitchen drain line.  This technique only works if the line is currently draining.  Heat up two LARGE sauce pots of water, very hot but not boiling and then pour them both down the kitchen drain one after the other.  The large volume of hot water will melt the grease.  It works very well.  Do this every few months.  The other thing is do not use your garbage disposal as a trash can.  Throw everything away in the trash and wipe out the pots and pans with a paper towel and throw the paper towel away in the trash as well.  Now you can wash your dishes.

Roots In Your Sewer Line, Save your Money with Maintenance

Roots in your sewer line can be a nightmare.  Especially if you have a plumber that is more interested in selling a repair as opposed to providing you with the best options.  In Southern California where I am located, a typical sewer line repair in dirt, not under concrete and at a depth of about 3 to 4 feet is typically about 3,000-4,000 dollars.  Depending on the pipe condition, that repair may not be necessary.  As long as the pipe is still intact, that problem spot can many times, be maintained with a regular cleaning. The important thing is a proper diagnosis, usually with a camera, to pinpoint the trouble spot and provide you with a plan to properly maintain that section of pipe.  Running a standard cable in the line, which most people opt for because it is the cheapest, is really not the best thing.  It tends to rip a hole in the roots but often leaves substantial amounts of roots in the line.  This gives the roots a head start at coming back.  And they will be back.  How often do you mow your lawn or trim your bushes in the yard.  What if you didn't trim the bushes for a year.  Now you get the idea.  Sewer roots need to be maintained. Hydro jetting is a much more effective way of removing roots.  Many times it is so effective that you can no longer see any evidence of roots in the sewer line after it has been hydro jetted. Combining this with a regular treatment of foaming root killer will usually save the property owner thousands of dollars and may allow you to skip that expensive repair indefinitely. Check out the following link.  The video will give you an idea of the power and effectiveness of hydro jetting.  Superjet Hydro Jetting

Sewer Roots

I got one of those calls I just love.

Property manager calls us out today, Sunday 10 am. Mainline sewer for a house.  Not excited about working Sunday but you know what they say, "make hay while the sun shines."  So 2 plumbers have been out there before us and they couldn't get it.  Over 100 feet out from the front yard c/o and neither one of them could reach it.
Ok, so I have 600 feet of hose on the hydro jetter so I'm confident I'm going to reach.  So when I get there, I get the rest of the story.  It seems the line backed up a month ago and another plumber was able to get it open then but the manager didn't know how far out he was when he opened the line.  But the mere fact that it was just cabled a month ago tells me it's roots and there back.  Prior plumber probably did a mediocre job last time so it didn't take long for it to back up again.  I know the problem is over 100 feet out.  So I jet with the big hose and big trailer mounted jetter and I could feel it chew through a few spots but then I hit the "spot".  I parked on it with the standard nozzle for a very long time, easlily 5 to 7 minutes without any results or movement at all, line burped a bit but it would not clear.  Ran it at almost full pressure just under 4,000 psi.
Made the change to the warthog spinner nozzle, the ws for 1/2" hose.  quickly ran back out to the stop point and parked on it just a couple inches back and let the nozzle do it's thing.  About a minute goes by and I can see slight progress as the hose inches slowly in. 5 minutes later and we had chewed through about 6 feet of blockage and after that we immediately dropped into the city main in the street.  You could clearly hear the line drain out and we could hear the echo of the nozzle as it went out into the city connection.  We pulled back and jetted that spot about 4 times slowly going back through and into the city connection.  Bad news was that the problem spot is in the street.  He didn't want to run a camera just yet, trying to get a home warranty company to ok that first., but I told him, the blockage is in the street. not a good thing you need to diagnose it properly.
Just the same he was really happy.  We cleared it when the other guys could not.  We love that.
Mind you just the same it was definitely a difficult blockage.  Even with our big machine, it was slow going.  But it's nice to make the customer happy.  He said, no messing around any more, give me your card and I'll call you first.  Nice.
