Protocol for Clearing the Kitchen Drain
IF POSSIBLE THROUGH A CLEAN-OUT AND LEAVING THE DRAIN HOOKED UP GO OUT AND BACK WITH 100 MACHINE WITH THE DROP HEAD.
IF NO CLEAN-OUT IN PLACE GIVE CLIENT OPTION TO ADD IT SO YOU CAN REINSTALL THE P-TRAP AND RUN SOME WATER WHILE SNAKING TO BE ABLE TO GET THE LINE FULLY CLEAN WHILE THE CABLE IS IN THERE. 1 PASS BACK AND FORTH IS OFTEN GOOD AS LONG AS YOU CAN RUN WATER WHILE SNAKING
IF NOT 2 PASSES BACK AND FORTH WILL LIKELY BE NECESSARY .
FINAL TEST FILL SINK COMPLETELY AND THEN DRAIN IT OUT TO BE SURE THE LINE HAS BEEN FULLY CLEARED.
NOTE IF SNAKING ON A SEPTIC TANK SYSTEM BE CAREFUL AS TO HOW FAR YOU RUN YOUR CABLE OUT, IF ON CITY RUN ENTIRE 75FT OF CABLE OUT AND BACK.
BIO ONE SHOULD BE OFFERED TO KEEP THE DRAIN CLEAR.
