Early action saves you from chiseling hardened debris later.
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.
Heavy Portland, ME rain can overwhelm city systems. We inspect sump discharge, backwater valves, and area drains before storms.
Annual camera checks and cleanings keep most city units safe. Busy kitchens, rentals, or pet-heavy homes benefit from semiannual visits.
Clear expectations, clear drains.
When the source disappears, so does the smell.
Safety first, then power.
We also store records to track trends and plan prevention.
Happy guests and owners start with clear drains.
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.
We supply checklists that match your hours and team size so the routine sticks.
Choose enzyme-based maintenance over harsh chemicals. It is safer for pipes, pets, and people in tight city spaces.
If water backs up, pause water use, avoid chemical drain cleaners, and call us. We guide you through safe steps while a crew drives over.
Historic Portland, ME 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.
Clogged vents mimic drain clogs. We camera-check vents, clear nests, and confirm airflow so fixtures drain silently.
Shared drains, shared wins.
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.
