Signs you need this
- Floor sinks rising during busy service
- Washroom fixtures running on or failing to flush
- Odour from cleanouts or interceptor lids
- Test date for a backflow device coming due
Kit on the van, and the method
- Sectional drain machine and jetter
- Calibrated backflow test kit
- Flush valve and sensor faucet parts
- Drain camera with locator
Before we leave: Run every affected fixture under normal load and confirm full flow and no leaks.
When jetting beats a cable
- Repeated backups on the same kitchen or floor-drain branch.
- Tuberculation crusting the inside of aging cast iron mains.
- Sand and sludge settled in long horizontal runs.
- Fine root intrusion at lateral joints.
What the job includes
- Locating and opening the right cleanout for the run.
- Choosing a nozzle for grease, roots or general flushing.
- Jetting upstream and pulling debris back to the opening.
- A camera pass to confirm the pipe is clean and intact.
- Recommendations on an interval for repeat cleaning.
How it works
Our jetter drives water down a reinforced hose to a nozzle whose backward-angled ports propel it upstream while sheeting water around the whole circumference, peeling grease loose and rinsing it toward the sewer. Because water does the scouring, it suits plastic and cast iron alike, as long as the pipe is structurally sound. Old or broken lines therefore get a camera look before any jetting.
The visit, step by step
- Confirm access and a time when sinks can be idle.
- Protect the floor around the cleanout.
- Jet, inspect and rinse.
- Show you the before and after on the camera screen.
Signs to call before the backup
- Gurgling from floor sinks when other fixtures drain.
- Odour from cleanouts or floor drains.
- Water lingering in a mop sink after use.
Asked on the phone
Will jetting damage an old pipe?
A sound pipe handles it well. Cracked or badly deteriorated pipe needs a camera check first, and we adjust pressure or recommend repair instead.
