Descaling Grease Lines in a Local Los Angeles Restaurant. Another A-1 team project. This project is performed by our trenchless lining crew technicians. The project was led by Nick Lee who has been with A-1 Total Service Plumbing for 10 years and our newcomer, Stephen Scott.

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.

The A-1 trenchless pipe lining team project of the day: Cleaning and removing roots in 60FT of clay pipe with a 4″-6″ transition. We will be using the Perma-Liner 4″-6” 5mm transition flex with an ambient air cure method. This sewer line has tw0 45-degree bends before the 6” and another 45-degree bend in the 6” at the saddle. We will install the liner 2″-4” into the City main due to a crack at the saddle.  After the liner is installed, the robotics team arrives to trim and cut the new pipe liner back. The team sanded out an existing 10FT of liner installed by another contractor, illegally, several years ago.

Everyone on the team has a direct function and task for the specific project. Helpers are put through training and their tasks will change with each and every installation.

This project was run by Marlon R. our trenchless pipe lining lead technician and Chris O, our robotics lead technician.
Helpers are: My son Michael who has been on the team 5 months and Teddy who has been on the lining team for nearly one year.
