Jobs that call for the jetter
- Grease build-up in a kitchen or food-court line
- Scale lining older cast iron
- Sand and silt from floor drains in garages and warehouses
- Fine roots that a cable keeps cutting but never clears
- Ahead of a video run, so the lens sees bare pipe
Order of work on a jetting visit
- Find a cleanout or access point and confirm the line route.
- Run the camera first if the line has never been inspected.
- Feed the jetter hose with the nozzle suited to the blockage.
- Work upstream in passes, pulling debris back to the access point.
- Run the camera again and save the footage for your file.
What the camera can show
Video separates a soft plug from a belly that holds water, a crushed length or a joint that has slipped sideways. Jetting fixes the first. The others need a repair, and the footage lets an owner or manager decide on it with real evidence instead of a guess.
Safe work around a business
- Access points opened only when the area is cordoned
- Hoses routed away from customer paths
- Water and debris captured, not left on floors
