Returned to the job site to televise the roof drain from inside the building to the outside manhole. Utilized a lift to cut out the existing leaking 6" roof drain connection and multiple fittings. Removed debris and prepared the area. Re-piped the main 6" PVC and fittings, installed a cleanout, and secured the pipe vertically with support hangers and bracing. Tested the system and cleaned the work area. It's now ready for use. Hydro jetted from the cleanout of the roof drain towards the side of the building's manhole. Flushed the fixture and conducted tests, which passed. It is ready for use.
