PIPE LAYOUT
0–6 ft: 4 inch cast iron
6–66 ft: 6 inch clay
Total Length: 66 linear feet
Main Connection: Wye (10"–15" main — verify on site)

LINER PLAN
Option A — Stretch liner: Handles the 4"→6" transition in a single pull. Recommended given the two-size run. Mild 22.5° bends at 4 ft and 60 ft are no issue for stretch liner.
Option B — Scrim transition liner 15/85/3: 15 ft of 4" section covers the 6 ft cast iron run with buffer; 85 ft of 6" section covers the 60 ft clay run with buffer. Fits cleanly. No bend concerns with scrim at 22.5°.

BENDS
Count: 2
Details: 22.5° at 4 ft, 22.5° at 60 ft — mild, no concern for either liner option

PIPE CONDITIONS / DAMAGE
Belly (severe) at 20–40 ft — standing water present; liner and caltube will push water out during install, no pre-jetting needed
Root intrusion (severe) at 6 ft, 12 ft, and 55–62 ft — all within Flexshaft range; cleared on liner day, standard process

WORK SCOPE
Liner Start: 4 ft from access (remote start covers 0–4 ft, including laundry tie-in at 2 ft — tie-in is fully uncovered when remote start is cut out, no reinstatement needed)
Liner End: 66 ft — stops at main
Patches: None
Overshot Cutback: No

ACCESS
Type: Pit
Cleanout Type: Inline (standard for pit access)
Notes: Water meter near cleanout — crew to confirm clearance on arrival. Flag if turn-in to cleanout is tight against pit wall.

PRE-JOB REQUIREMENTS
Floor Break Up (FBU): No
Descaling: No
Jetting: No

FLO ASSESSMENT
Verdict: FLAG
Flags:
• White carpet near access point — sales rep has already committed to the crew being super clean. Crew must lay protective coverings before entering and throughout the work area. Before-and-after photos of the carpet area required.
• Roots at 55–62 ft — well within Flexshaft range but on the longer end of a 66 ft run. Crew to confirm Flexshaft reaches the full root zone cleanly before liner day if any doubt.
• Dog on property, no fence — must be confirmed secured (inside or on leash) before crew begins work. Call ahead if needed.
Summary: This is a 66 ft run from a pit cleanout — cast iron for the first 6 ft, then clay to the main. Roots at three locations will be cleared by Flexshaft on liner day, and the severe belly will self-resolve during liner install. The laundry tie-in at 2 ft is clean — the remote start covers it and gets cut out, leaving the tie-in fully open. Main thing to manage here is the white carpet and the dog — both flagged for the crew.

HEADS UP — INSTALL TEAM ATTENTION
• Customer has white carpet near the access point — sales rep has already assured the customer the crew will be super clean. Lay protective coverings before entering, keep them down throughout, and do a walkthrough with the customer before leaving. Before-and-after photos of the carpet area required.
• Dog on property with no fence — confirm dog is secured (inside or leashed) before starting. Call ahead if needed so the customer has time to sort it out before the crew arrives.
• Water meter near cleanout in pit — confirm there's enough clearance to work the cleanout comfortably on arrival.

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.

  “Caltube hung up at main connection but extracted clean. Root cleaning was minor. High pressure (15+ psi) at a 22.5° bend — tighter radius than expected but Bluelight pushed through successfully.”
