Liner plan

Option A — Stretch liner: Handles the 4"→6" transition in a single pull. Preferred given the two 22.5° bends. Clean choice for this run. Option B — Scrim transition liner 15/85/3: 15 ft covers the 6 ft of 4" cast iron with buffer; 85 ft covers the 60 ft of 6" clay with buffer. Tightest standard fit that covers both sections. Note: scrim is acceptable here since bends are mild 22.5° only.

Pre-job steps

Floor Break Up (FBU): No Descaling: No Jetting: No

Heads-up

• Dog on property — described as nice but a runner. Confirm it's secured before starting work. Call ahead if needed so the homeowner has it contained on arrival. • Homeowner is saving a parking spot on a busy street — will move their car when crew arrives. Call ahead before you get there so the spot is open and ready. Confirm it fits truck + trailer (50 ft). • Pool in the yard — crew to be aware during setup and movement around the property. • Water meter is close to the cleanout in the pit — noted by sales rep, room to work, but heads up for tight quarters.

Option A — Stretch liner: Handles the 4"→6" transition in a single pull. Preferred given the two 22.5° bends. Clean choice for this run.
Option B — Scrim transition liner 15/85/3: 15 ft covers the 6 ft of 4" cast iron with buffer; 85 ft covers the 60 ft of 6" clay with buffer. Tightest standard fit that covers both sections. Note: scrim is acceptable here since bends are mild 22.5° only.

Root intrusion (heavy) at 50–64 ft — Flexshaft clears on liner day, camera passed through
Scale (light) at 0–6 ft — remote start covers 0–4 ft; only 2 ft of light scale inside liner zone, no pre-work needed

WORK SCOPE
Liner Start: 4 ft from access — remote start covers 0–4 ft including laundry tie-in at 2 ft. Remote start removed after cure; tie-in left fully open. No reinstatement needed.
Liner End: 66 ft — overshot into city main, robot cutback required

FLO ASSESSMENT
Verdict: FLAG
Flags:
• Overshot cutback required — liner overshoots into city main. Robot trailer needed. Schedule robot crew separately from liner day.
• Lateral seal required — office to schedule seal team after liner install. Main is 6"–9" (approximate) — confirm exact main pipe size before ordering seal material.
• Parking coordination needed — homeowner is saving a spot on a busy street and will move their car when crew arrives. Confirm the spot is long enough for truck + trailer together (need 50 ft continuous). Crew should call ahead before arrival so the spot is ready.
Summary: This is a solid liner job — good access, mild bends, camera got through the full run without trouble. Three things need coordination before scheduling: the robot trailer for the overshot cutback, the seal team for the lateral seal, and a parking confirmation with the homeowner on that busy street. Once those are lined up, this one is ready to go.

PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
City: Minneapolis
Permit Type: Minneapolis Sewer Permit
How to Apply: Verify with office
Cost: $160.00
Inspection Process: Verify with office
Road Patch Requirement: N/A (no-dig liner — verify if ROW work triggers requirement)
Road Closure: N/A
I&I Program: N/A
Notes: If any work enters the right of way, a separate Minneapolis ROW Excavation Permit may be required ($800). Verify with office whether the overshot cutback or lateral seal triggers ROW access.

HEADS UP — INSTALL TEAM ATTENTION
• Dog on property — described as nice but a runner. Confirm it's secured before starting work. Call ahead if needed so the homeowner has it contained on arrival.
• Homeowner is saving a parking spot on a busy street — will move their car when crew arrives. Call ahead before you get there so the spot is open and ready. Confirm it fits truck + trailer (50 ft).
• Pool in the yard — crew to be aware during setup and movement around the property.
• Water meter is close to the cleanout in the pit — noted by sales rep, room to work, but heads up for tight quarters.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
• Install team: Confirm clay pipe size after the cast iron section before pulling liner. Usually 6" but occasionally 4" or 5" — quick check saves a wasted liner.
• Remote start covers 0–4 ft. Laundry tie-in at 2 ft is within the remote start section and will be fully open after Clog Dog removes the remote start. No reinstatement needed on that tie-in.
• Sales rep noted "looks like an easy liner" — agreed, the pipe conditions are manageable. The flags are scheduling/logistics, not technical concerns.

Few things to sort out before we get into the pipe — customer info first. 1. **"Ben Smithx"** — looks like a typo. Is the customer's name **Ben Smith**? 2. **Phone number "76356889"** — that's only 8 digits. Can you give me the full 10-digit number?

You

1. Yes 2. 7635688937

Flo

Got it — Ben Smith, 763-568-8937. Now let's get into the pipe. A few things I need to work through before I can give you a verdict: 1. **Root intrusion at 8 ft and 50–64 ft — how severe?** The camera noted "severe" but I want to confirm: did the camera itself have trouble pushing through the roots at any of those locations, or did it get through okay? 2. **Scale at 0–6 ft** — you noted scale on the cast iron section. How heavy is it? Light, moderate, or heavy buildup? 3. **Water meter close to the cleanout in the pit** — is the meter tight enough that it would block a straight run-in to the cleanout, or is there room to work around it? 4. **The liner is scoped from 4 ft to 66 ft (62 LF)** — just confirming: the tie-in at 2 ft is the laundry drain. Is that tie-in active and in use, or is the laundry disconnected?

You

1. Got all the way to the main, should be easy to clean, just heavy roots 2. Its light, no need to Jet 3. Theres room, just wanted to tell the guys 4. Its active and I dont want to cover it

Flo

Perfect — that's everything I need. Let me work through this and give you the full picture. --- **A couple of things to flag on the scoping before the ticket:** **Liner start and the laundry tie-in at 2 ft:** The liner is scoped to start at 4 ft — good call. Here's why that works cleanly: the section from 0–4 ft will be covered by the **remote start** (a TPU piece that gets cut out after curing). When the Clog Dog removes the remote start, the tie-in at 2 ft is left fully open. The permanent liner never touches it. No reinstatement needed on that tie-in. ✅ **Scale at 0–6 ft (light, cast iron section):** Only 6 ft of light scale — that's right at the edge of the threshold. Since the liner starts at 4 ft and the remote start covers 0–4 ft anyway, the crew only needs to worry about the 4–6 ft section. That's 2 ft of light scale inside the liner zone — no pre-work needed. ✅ **Roots at 8 ft and 50–64 ft (heavy, but camera got through):** Camera made it all the way — good sign for the Bluelight. Roots will be cleared by Flexshaft on liner day, standard prep. The 50–64 ft cluster is well within the 95 ft Flexshaft range. ✅ **Overshot cutback:** Liner is scoped to overshot into the main — robot trailer required, separate scheduling. Already noted in scope. 🚩 **Lateral seal:** Main is 6"–9" — office will need to confirm exact size to order the right seal material. 🚩 **Parking:** Homeowner is saving a street spot and will move when the crew arrives. Busy road noted. The crew needs 50 ft continuous for truck + trailer — confirm the saved spot is long enough before dispatch. 🚩 **Pool in yard:** Worth a heads up to the crew — no flag, just note it for awareness. --- --- ```
