Example.. average reinstatement without proposing laterals is 45min due to the gunk build-up.

The average cleaning takes up to 30 minutes and provides a better product for the customer. The average reinstatement for a clean lateral is 12 minutes. This also makes a manual reinstatement quicker. When the bubble does not form, you are able to get a camera down the lateral to illuminate the reinstatement area without having a line full of debris and pulling the camera out several times to clean the head. In the following pictures you will see CIPP, one is a project we performed for a contractor who refuses to clean laterals and the reinstatement’s take a very long time, they look bad and cause stoppages. The other pictures are a reinstatement with a properly cleaned lateral. No debris falling out of the pipe.

The helpers are Ramon who is 3 months into his employment with A-1. Ramon shows great quality as a helper. Always on time and eager to learn. Our other lining helper is Griffin. Today is Griffin’s 3rd day at A-1 and he is a great young man and we feel he will pick up drain cleaning and drain descaling very quickly. Finding young men like Ramon and Griffin with good work ethic, commonsense, and eagerness to learn is a rare commodity these days.

The A-1 technicians are willing to train and be successful. We give them 2 thumbs up this week for all crew technicians and training of our helpers!  This grease line descaling project was difficult due to the discharge lines leading to the main were extremely congested with debris. We also used a hefty supply of rubber gloves and metal files to complete the descaling job. There was an extremely hard buildup in multiple lines that measured 2″-3” leading to a 4” mainline.
