CABLING:  Through state of the art modern drain cleaning technology we have the ability to clear debris, such as roots, grease, hair, scale build-up, and other blockages restricting drainage through your lines.

JETTING: Water jetting is the most efficient solution to safely scour your lines and remove buildup. FDS offers both an electric mini-jetter for smaller jobs, and a gas-powered jetter for tougher jobs and larger lines.

HYDROFLUSHING:  The trailer flusher blasts through stubborn blockages with 40 GPM at 2000 PSI, with an assortment of scouring heads/nozzles and the ability to reach over 500 feet. 

SEWER AND WATER LINE LOCATION: With advanced technology, FDS has the ability to provide customers with an accurate depth and spot location of your sewer line. Water line tracing available.

SMOKE TESTING:  Smoke testing service to help locate the source of elusive sewer odors.

GREASE TRAP & SEPTIC PUMPING:  FDS can take care of all your nonhazardous liquid material with a 4000-gallon vacuum truck or a 600 gallon trailer vacuum. The 55-gallon portable vacuum can  reach into any building.  The material pumped from your grease traps and septic systems is disposed of at an environmentally friendly facility that meets Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District guidelines.  We can help you stay in compliance with all local, state and municipal fats, oils and grease (FOG) along with other grease abatement regulations. 

DIGITAL VIDEO INSPECTION:  The color camera and locator system utilized by FDS is the best diagnostic tool on the market, in the industry. It allows FDS to provide a live visual inspection of the sewer or drain system to pinpoint problem areas and develop the most effective solution. The advanced diagnostic process used by FDS takes the guesswork out of drain and sewer remediation and saves you time and money.
