💩 Why it's ugly

Grease clogs are not subtle. They announce themselves through slow drains, floor backups, and a smell that feels professionally managed by evil. You are paid to meet the blockage where it lives.

💰 Why it prints money

Restaurants cannot operate long with clogged kitchen drains, so response time has pricing power. Typical hydro-jetting jobs often run $300–$1,200+, with premium rates for nights, weekends, and emergency backups. Recurring preventative jetting turns crisis work into scheduled revenue.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

First 30 days

Register the entity and get the basic insurance sorted before anything else. Call the three biggest local operators and ask what they refuse to do — that refusal list is your launch menu. Price the first ten jobs deliberately low to collect reviews, then raise rates fifteen percent.

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
