City FAQ

How often should I clean drains in a city unit?

Annual camera checks and cleanings keep most city units safe. Busy kitchens, rentals, or pet-heavy homes benefit from semiannual visits.

Can you work around tight schedules?

Yes. Early morning, late night, and between-meeting windows are available. We plan the job to match elevator access and quiet hours.

Do you handle odor complaints?

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.

Is hydro-jetting safe for my pipes?

We match pressure and nozzle type to pipe age and material, protecting the line while restoring full diameter.

Do you provide documentation for boards?

We also store records to track trends and plan prevention.

Can you help renters and hosts?

Yes. We coordinate with landlords, offer turnkey odor fixes, and schedule service between guest stays.
