How jetting differs from cabling
- The jetter’s nozzle has jets angled backwards; they drag the hose up the line while scouring every inch of the bore. Spinning nozzles take grease and soft scale off; chain-flail heads take on harder deposits and roots. Because the water carries debris away, the line ends up clean rather than just open.
- Jetting is not right for every pipe. Brittle clay and thin, rusted-out cast iron may not survive that much force, so an unknown line gets filmed before the jetter goes in.
Where we use it
- Restaurant lines from the kitchen to the main, plaza mainlines that collect from several units, warehouse floor drains full of grit, and condo garage drains packed with sand from winter salt all respond well to jetting. Storm laterals tied to catch basins in parking lots are another common job.
Signs you need this
- Several units or fixtures backing up together
- The same line blocking again within weeks
- Grit or sand in floor drains
- Odour from cleanouts or floor drains
- A planned sale or lease needing a line report
After the line is clean
- A camera run shows the pipe after jetting: any sags, offset joints or cracks that will cause the next blockage. We share the footage and mark the distance and depth of any problem so repairs can be planned instead of rushed.
How the job runs

You get the footage and our notes on next steps.
For businesses: tell us your trading hours, the number of fixtures and where the cleanouts are, if you know. It lets us book the visit when it disrupts the least.
