We have completed hydro-jetting and descaling of the kitchen branch lines through the clean-out access and the main kitchen line from the catch basin.
After cleaning, most of the pipes are in good working condition, except for the pipe coming from the storage room. A detailed explanation and the repair plan are provided at the end of this report.
Please take a look at blueprint image of the clean-out accesses & the catch basin

Compromised Kitchen Line (Storage Room):
After hydro-jetting and de-scaling, most of the pipes are in good working condition. However, the pipe in the storage room has significant issues, with descaling of the rust and debris multiple large holes at its base (bottom) - please refer to video above and images below.
These holes will allow grease and waste to accumulate beneath the pipe, potentially leading to foul odors overtime, in which case excavation through first floor of the building will be necessary to manually remove the grease.
Fortunately, this pipe is eligible for pipelining (similar to catch basin to sewer pipelining we performed a in June), which allows to avoid full size excavation repair. The pipelining installation will require a spot excavation to install a full-size 4” clean-out access to accommodate the pipeline machine, replacing the current 3” clean-out (refer to image below)
