"Our kitchen drain had been slow for weeks. The technician used a camera to find a grease buildup about 30 feet down the line, then hydro jetted the whole thing. Drains faster than it has in years. Great service."
"Our restaurant had a grease trap emergency right before a health inspection. They came out the same morning, pumped and cleaned the trap, and got us compliant. Lifesavers."
