An additional safety inspection item, specific to electric water heaters, is a disconnecting means if the service panel is not within sight, to guard against electric shock hazards caused by someone else turning the power back on while servicing or maintenance is performed. This is typically accomplished by a two pole fused or non fused disconnect switch rated at 240 volts, 30 amps minimum, or a two pole toggle switch rated 30 amps. Sometimes, usually in older homes built before 1990, a three wire dryer or range cord, or a short length of 10/2 romex with a NEMA 10-30, 10-50 or 6-30 plug was used and plugged into a receptacle outlet to serve as the disconnecting means. I'm not aware of any water heater manufacturers or the NEC ever allowing a cord and plug connection for a storage type water heater, although I've seen it a handful of times enough to believe some local inspectors allow it (or used to)

We have an indoor clean out just above concrete floor. When they start jetting the pipe at our house is there going to be a ton of sludge and water backing up into the basement once they start jetting if the clog doesn’t move quickly? The clog is about 65’ from the clean out.

We just happened to have a large trash can that I would empty out every thirty seconds, we filled up the trash can with sludge, he got the jetter hose stuck. He came back a few days later with a large vacuum truck so they could jet longer without it backing up, still didn’t help.

In this situation hydro jetting is a waste of time and money, you can clearly see that the pipe has severely shifted and will soon collapse. I’m not sure if you only had a root intrusion or similar issues like this video here. Hydro Jetting is meant to remove and flush out any build up or debris. Here, there using a unique jetting head that attaches to the end of the hose, it rotates at a very high velocity due to the pressure from the water and cuts roots. This will only buy you time, but it will not fix anything.
