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?

Clear expectations, clear drains.

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?

Safety first, then power.

Do you provide documentation for boards?

Absolutely. You receive video links, photos, and clear notes you can forward to boards, supers, and insurance.

Can you help renters and hosts?

Happy guests and owners start with clear drains.

City playbook for unstoppable flow

Daily rhythms

Run hot water after cooking, wipe pans, and use strainers on every sink. These tiny steps slow buildup and stretch the life of professional cleanings.

Business rituals

Restaurants and cafs should log daily strainer checks, weekly enzyme applications, and monthly light jetting.

Eco-smart choices

We help you pick products that work with your plumbing, not against it.

Emergency calm

Preparedness reduces stress and limits damage.
