We are at Gili's Heating and Air Conditioning.
We're with Zachary and Travis.
You guys are going to teach us a little bit
about this contraption that we have near us today.
So this is the sewer drain jetting machine.
Tell me a little bit about this.
This is used for cleaning out sewer lines, OK, commercial
and residential.
It'll eat through tree roots and various blockages.
As far as the commercial side, it's grease and garbage
and things that people stick down to drain.
OK.
So is this something that somebody who's living at their
house would know that they need to ask you guys
to come bring?
Or do they say, hey, I have a problem and
I cannot figure out what it is?
And you pretty much guess it's this is needed.
We can pretty much tell over the phone.
Really.
Phone call.
Yeah, Yeah.
Or you know, we can make the assumption and we'll
have it ready to go if we need it, we
need it.
If we don't, we don't.
And so exactly how do you guys use it?
Well, first we blockages, we can use a our sewer
camera for that.
But then, you know, tree roots are a common deal
and residential, like you said, grease on the commercial side.
But there are different various heads that we use depending
on what the blockage is.
And it's it's pretty handy.
It kind of looks like a big hose.
It is.
It's a big pressure washer.
Oh, so it's going to shoot something out that way?
Yes.
Typically the heads have a jet that goes forward and
behind it and it uses the water pressure to kind
of drag the head down the line and it cleans
as it goes.
OK, so tell me a little bit more about that
camera.
It's kind of like if you go to the doctor
and they need to see something in your esophagus.
So it's the same concept.
It's exactly what it is, and that's something that a
guy or a woman living at their house probably wouldn't
have on hand.
They need you guys to bring yours, right?
No, you know, it has a line counter on it.
I can, I can put it down the drain, tell
you how far out the camera head is.
I can record, take pictures, show you everything what's going
on inside your drain like that.
That seems like a really great thing for you guys
to have for the mindset of the customers because how
many times do we go anywhere, whether we're talking about
somewhere like a doctor or somebody dealing with the insurance
and outs of our houses and they tell us something
and we don't know how much we should believe that,
right?
You're like, well, Are you sure?
It takes the guesswork out of it.
I can prove it to you.
I can show you exactly what the problem is.
I can show you where it's at and what it
is.
How often should we have our sewer lines checked or
what's that whole process like?
It really depends on what, what kind of problems you
have, what kind of issue you have going on.
But I I'd say every six months by the minimum
to a year, you know, between six months and a
year.
And this is like a homeowner, I don't own a
home.
So I am asking all these questions.
I'm not really sure, but it's something that, you know,
we talked obviously to Gillies a lot, heating, air conditioning.
This is the third factor of what you guys can
do.
And something that I didn't know that we we did
to put on our To Do List in the fall
and the spring.
Is that when we should do it or is it
a winter summer thing or is it just every six
months?
I mean, just a revolving schedule.
I'd say the sooner the better, you know what I
mean?
And then get on that maintenance schedule to kind of
keep things working at an optimal level.
You don't want to let it get too far out
of hand.
A lot of people, like I said, you, you have
never had this done.
So problems, they're just going to get worse as you
go.
And we can keep things moving at an optimal level
with this on a regular basis because there is there
a chance that there's not a big, huge problem, but
there is like a little problem.
Oh, yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
How long does a checkup like this usually last?
Roughly between an hour and I'd say two hours.
OK.
I feel like we all have time to make sure
that everything in our house is going OK.
An hour, two hours, I think it's worth it.
Take the time out to check, right, because you don't
want to end up with a huge problem when you
could have taken care of a teeny tiny problem, you
know, beforehand, right?
Yeah.
What's the best way to get the process started for
a sewer check?
Give us a call.
That's the best way we can address it from there.
No Willy nilly it.
Gilly's it.
Coming up next on GDS, we are air frying ice
cream with Amy and Tyler.
They're waiting in the Mahoney and Mahoney Blue room.
The preceding portion.
