Pipe Replacement Under the Sink and Out at the Yard Cleanout

A SwiftPro tech in a black beanie and orange-cuffed gloves works under a kitchen sink, right next to the garbage disposal, with a cordless power tool. Kitchen drains take grease and food scraps daily, so the pipe under there takes more abuse than most.

Outside, a cleanout pipe sticks up from a dirt bed beside the house, and a drain snake, a long spinning cable, goes down it. The cleanout is the capped access point to the main line, so a plumber can clear or check the whole run without going through a fixture.

Last shot: water running into the stainless sink. That test after the work is how you know the new connections hold and drain.
