Our condo main stack stopped backing up after their jetting plan. The crew protected every surface and sent footage for the board.

New builds and renovations send fine dust into drains. We pre-flush, filter, and jet lines after construction milestones, preventing cement-like buildup.
Coffee grounds and fryer grease fuel city clogs. We set up strainer protocols, enzyme dosing, and frequent light jetting for cafs and restaurants.
Stacked units share drain stacks. We use cameras to map exact branch tie-ins, then clean from cleanouts without disturbing neighbors.
When skies open up, you stay calm because the plan is already in place.
Shared stacks may need more frequent maintenance during renovation seasons.
Clear expectations, clear drains.
Odors come from dry traps, biofilm, vent issues, or partial clogs. We hydrate traps, clean biofilm with safe agents, and verify vent health with cameras.
We match pressure and nozzle type to pipe age and material, protecting the line while restoring full diameter.
We also store records to track trends and plan prevention.
Yes. We coordinate with landlords, offer turnkey odor fixes, and schedule service between guest stays.
Quick discipline today prevents midnight plumbing calls tomorrow.
Restaurants and cafs should log daily strainer checks, weekly enzyme applications, and monthly light jetting.
We help you pick products that work with your plumbing, not against it.
Preparedness reduces stress and limits damage.
Historic Alameda, California buildings often combine original cast iron with newer PVC tie-ins. We soften jetting pressure, stage cleaning in passes, and document every fragility.
Dorms, co-living spaces, and hotels push drains hard. We time preventive jetting before peak seasons and add enzyme dosing to slow buildup.
Marble, hardwood, and designer fixtures need gentle handling. We use padded mats, low-profile tools, and sealed containment to shield your finishes.
Air plus water equals harmony in city plumbing.
In multi-unit buildings, one bad habit can affect everyone. We provide simple posters and digital tips boards can share with residents.
We log every visit, capture footage, and track trends in your building. Patterns reveal when to schedule jetting, where to add cleanouts, and which fixtures need attention.
Before long trips, run water in rarely used fixtures and add a dash of mineral oil to traps to slow evaporation.
Before we leave, we sweep, wipe, and restore the room so it feels untouchedexcept the drains now move like new.
We believe prevention is a partnership: you handle simple daily habits, we handle the heavy lifting, and together we eliminate surprise plumbing emergencies.
