Hello Jon,

Trash chute that we do is in a 16 story building and ends in the basement. Has access on each floor. Metal contruction about 30" in diameter.

We do this type of work on a time and material basis. We used a 3 man crew, wands, spinners, our regular degreaser, hot water. Steam build-up is a real problem on the top floor. Need to turn off fire alarms! Last time we did it, it took about 7 hours.

Lot of water and debris to deal with in the basement!
