Clear expectations, clear drains.

When the source disappears, so does the smell.

Is hydro-jetting safe for my pipes?

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

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.

Dealing with older buildings

Historic South 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.

Protecting luxury finishes

Marble, hardwood, and designer fixtures need gentle handling. We use padded mats, low-profile tools, and sealed containment to shield your finishes.

Extended guidance for city peace of mind

Vent health

Clogged vents mimic drain clogs. We camera-check vents, clear nests, and confirm airflow so fixtures drain silently.

Shared responsibility

Shared drains, shared wins.

Data-backed maintenance

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.

Travel-proof drains

Before long trips, run water in rarely used fixtures and add a dash of mineral oil to traps to slow evaporation.

Long-form city assurance

From first call to flowing drains

Before we leave, we sweep, wipe, and restore the room so it feels untouchedexcept the drains now move like new.

The prevention mindset

City drains fail when ignored. We flip the script with membership options: quarterly jetting for food businesses, semiannual camera checks for condos, enzyme dosing for rentals, and storm-readiness visits before rainy seasons.
