Stack Lines

Keep your drain system for your multi-floor building working

Stack lines are a type of drain system often used in apartment complexes, hotels and buildings with multiple floors. All of the individual drains from each apartment or floor flow into one long vertically positioned drain, a stack line, that curves at the bottom and then flows into the city sewer system.

If your building has a clog or has been experiencing many clogs, it may be time to hire a stack line cleaner.

Clean stack lines regularly

Because of their design, stack lines require regular maintenance to keep them clog free. Problems can occur when stack lines are not cleaned because all of the dirt, hair, soap scum and debris from all of the rooms or units that collects at the base of the drain. Often, many units are affected by a clog, potentially causing a lot of damage.

Regular cleanings are important and easy to set up. A contract with John’s to do preventive maintenance on your stack lines means that we will track your cleaning schedule for you. See how preventive maintenance can help you manage your drains effectively.

How we clean stack lines

We often use a water jet machine to clean stack lines because it has enough power to flush out the debris in the drain, and its design allows for better cleaning of a stackline’s vertical orientation. Learn more about water jetting.
