Man, just wrapped up a nightmare call where the restaurant's grease trap overflowed into the main sewer line, had to drag out my Ridgid K-400 and snake a solid 100 feet of pipe to clear the blockage. Owner's yelling about lost business while I'm knee-deep in muck, but got it flowing again with some enzyme cleaner follow-up. These late-night emergencies are killing my sleep schedule, but hey, that's the plumbing game. Watched a Roger Wakefield video last week on sewer inspections, made me double-check with my SeeSnake camera this time around. Wife's starting to hate these random calls, but bills don't pay themselves. Anyone else pulling double duty like this on weeknights?
god i hate those after-hours grease jobs, last one i did the owner tried to tip me in leftover pizza. total BS, shoulda charged double for the hassle.
