Hydro Jetting for Homes Across the GTA
A snake bores a tunnel through a blockage; a jetter washes the pipe wall bare from top to bottom. For a line that keeps slowing down, that is the whole difference.

Signs it is time to call
Jetting suits long kitchen lines coated in grease, laterals with fine root hair after cutting, and stacks lined with soap and scale. It is the follow-up for a run that has needed the snake repeatedly within twelve months. It is not right for every pipe: fragile, cracked clay or badly corroded cast iron can be damaged, which is why we camera the line first.
- Repeated clogs in the same drain
- Grease-heavy kitchen runs
- Fine roots left after cutting
- Sand or silt in a floor drain line
On the job, step by step
We feed a reinforced hose tipped with a backward-firing nozzle through the cleanout. The backward jets pull the hose forward while blasting the pipe walls, and the forward jet breaks up anything ahead. We run it up the line and draw it back slowly letting the loosened sludge ride out toward the municipal main. Pressure and head are matched to what we are cleaning: lower for a three-inch ABS branch, higher for a four-inch clay main. A second camera pass confirms the walls are clean.
GTA houses and what they change
Jetting needs water: we draw from a hose bib, so an outdoor tap in working order helps. In winter we run from a laundry tub. Older homes without a cleanout may need one installed to give the hose a straight path. In condos, jetting a shared stack is done in coordination with building management.
Before you pick up the phone
Ask whether a camera inspection comes before jetting, what pressure the plumber plans to use, and how they will protect the basement from spray. Call (365) 387-8531 to talk through whether your line is a candidate.

Common questions
Can jetting damage old pipes?
It can if the pipe is already broken or badly deteriorated. That is why we inspect first and choose a lower pressure on weak lines.
