99th CES ‘plumbers’ keep mission flowing

Staff Sgt. Alan Franklin, 99th Civil Engineer Squadron water and fuels systems maintenance craftsman, loosens a screw on a drain pipe in order to reach the cleanout of the pipe at the Nellis Inn on Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., Aug. 19, 2014. Once Franklin could reach the cleanout, he was able to unclog the pipe without taking it out of the wall or replacing it. Since January 2014, Franklin and other water and fuels systems maintenance technicians have completed 1,860 job orders and spent 5,634 preventative-maintenance hours to ensure the base’s continuous water flow is uninterrupted.
