High-pressure jetting for building drains

Where commercial lines clog

• Kitchen branch lines downstream of restaurants and food courts.
• Long, flat runs under slab-on-grade plazas and warehouses.
• Condo kitchen and laundry stacks.
• Parking-lot and loading-dock catch basin leads full of sand and debris.
• Laterals with root intrusion at older joints.

Why jetting instead of cabling

• Full-bore cleaning: water pressure scours the whole pipe wall rather than cutting a hole.
• Grease and sludge: warm water and the right nozzle break up fat that a cable smears.
• Longer gaps between calls: a clean pipe takes much longer to build up again.

How a jetting job runs

1. Locate access. Cleanouts, roof vents or the interceptor outlet.
2. Camera first. We confirm the pipe material and check for damage that pressure could worsen.
3. Jet upstream to downstream. Nozzle chosen for grease, scale or roots.
4. Camera again. We record the cleaned line for your file.
5. Suggest the next visit. Based on what came out and how the building is used.

Signs a building line is due

• One floor drain keeps overflowing, month after month.
• Several tenants on one run complain of slow sinks.
• Gurgling or odours in a washroom core.
• A recent cable job that only lasted a few weeks.
