Hydro Jetting in Dundas

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water delivered through a professional jetting nozzle to strip pipe walls clean and completely flush blockages, root material, and grease accumulation from your drain or sewer system. Unlike cable snaking, which only cuts a temporary channel through a blockage, hydro jetting removes the material entirely and restores full pipe diameter. For Dundas properties with recurring drain problems, grease buildup, or root intrusion, hydro jetting is the professional clearing method that produces lasting results.

01

Camera First

We inspect the line with a camera before jetting to identify the blockage type and confirm the pipe can handle high-pressure cleaning.

02

Access Setup

We access the line through the cleanout or a convenient upstream access point and set up the jetting equipment.

03

High-Pressure Jetting

Water delivered at up to 4,000 PSI through a rotary nozzle strips the pipe walls clean and pushes all material downstream.

04

Flush and Clear

All dislodged material including roots, grease, scale, and debris is flushed completely out of the line to the municipal main.

05

Post-Jet Camera

A follow-up camera run confirms the line is fully clear and documents pipe condition after cleaning.

Removes Root Material Completely

Unlike cable snaking which only cuts roots, hydro jetting pulverizes the root mass and flushes all material completely out of the line.

Strips Pipe Walls Clean

Grease coating, mineral scale, and biofilm are stripped from the internal pipe wall, restoring full pipe diameter and design flow capacity.

Extends Time Between Service Calls

A clean, jetted pipe stays clear significantly longer than one that has only been snaked, reducing annual service frequency and total long-term cost.

Essential Pre-Lining Preparation

A properly jetted host pipe ensures CIPP liner adhesion performs to full specification and design life. It is required before any liner installation.

No Chemicals Used

High-pressure water is the only cleaning agent used. No chemicals are introduced to your drain system, your property, or the municipal sewer.

Camera Inspection Before and After

We inspect the line before jetting to confirm the pipe can handle pressure, and after jetting to document the result and pipe condition.

Effective for Preventive Maintenance

Hydro jetting is used as a scheduled maintenance tool, not only as a reactive clearing service, keeping high-use lines performing year-round.
