Why a cable is not always enough
A drain cable bores through a blockage and gets water moving again, yet most of the coating stays stuck to the inside of the pipe. In a commercial line that carries grease, scale or silt every day, the clog returns quickly. A jetter sends water through a nozzle at high pressure, and jets aimed backwards that scour the pipe and drive the hose along.
- Restores close to the full diameter of the pipe
- Flushes debris downstream to the city sewer
- Reaches long horizontal runs that cables struggle with
- Uses different heads for grease, roots and hard scale
Lines we jet most often
- Kitchen branches and mains in restaurants and food courts
- Parking garage trench drains and catch basins
- Laundry and kitchen stacks in apartment buildings
- Storm lines and area drains around loading docks
- Building mains running out to the property line
How a jetting visit runs
- Locate the cleanouts and confirm access
- Run a camera to find the blockage and check the pipe
- Jet the line from the best access point
- Camera the line again to confirm it is clear
- Share the footage and suggest a cleaning schedule
Protecting old and plastic pipe
Many Toronto buildings mix cast iron, clay, ABS and PVC on the same run. Pressure and nozzle choice are adjusted to the weakest material on the line, so the cleaning does not damage a joint or a thin section of old pipe.
How the job runs
Ring the line
Say what is dripping, backing up or banging. Water still flowing? We guide your hand to the valve first.
Find the cause
The plumber traces the fault, with a scope or gauge where one earns its keep.
Pick the fix
Options come in everyday language, and nothing starts until you choose.
Repair & prove it
We finish, run the water to prove it, wipe up and leave a short written record.
