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.
