City scenarios and how we handle them
A walk-up apartment in Bethalto, Illinois had a kitchen stack clog every holiday. We scoped, found grease and rice buildup, jetted the stack, and set pre-holiday maintenance. Zero backups since.
Grease control plus jetting prevents weekend shutdowns.
A condo board complained about recurring gurgles. Our camera showed vent blockage and partial sludge. We cleared, balanced vents, and provided a report for all unit owners. Gurgles stopped.
A salon faced hair-heavy drains weekly. We installed accessible cleanouts, set enzyme dosing, and trained staff on disposal habits. Service calls dropped dramatically.
Mapping today prevents surprises tomorrow.
A retail space had sewer odor near the entrance. We traced a dry trap and a loose cleanout cap, sealed both, and added a maintenance reminder. Odor vanished before the weekend foot traffic.
An HOA requested proof before approving stack jetting. We captured video, shared findings, and outlined phased work by riser. Approval came in one meeting.
A gyms locker room drains slowed nightly. We scheduled post-close jetting, sanitized floors, and applied enzymes. Members returned to fresh, fast drains each morning.
City maintenance playbook
Monthly: enzyme dosing for restaurants, salons, and gyms; quick visual checks of cleanouts in hallways or basements; wipe traps and caps to prevent odor creep. Quarterly: jetting shared stacks in hair-heavy or grease-heavy buildings; camera checks on known problem risers. Semiannual: pre-holiday scopes for high-occupancy buildings and businesses with seasonal spikes.
Air bubbles, echoing drains, and damp grout lines hint at venting or partial blockagesaddress them early.
Housekeeping habits: never pour fats or coffee grounds, use strainers in every sink and shower, and run hot water after soapy loads. For buildings, post simple drain rules in utility rooms to guide tenants.
Prepping ahead keeps common areas dry and businesses open.
Documentation: we log photos, videos, and recommendations after each visit so boards and managers have a living record of the systems health.
