When jetting beats snaking
- The same line clogs again within weeks of a cable job
- Grease has built up along the full length of a kitchen branch
- Scale has narrowed an old cast-iron main
- Sand and silt have settled in a long horizontal drain
- A parking-lot catch basin drains slowly after storms
How we jet a line
- Find the right access point: a cleanout, a roof vent or a manhole.
- Run the camera to see what is inside and how far it goes.
- Pick a nozzle: forward-cutting for blockages, rear jets to scour walls.
- Work from downstream up so debris always has somewhere to go.
- Flush and run the camera again to confirm clean pipe.
Lines we clean
- Restaurant and food-court kitchen drains
- Building sanitary mains and laterals
- Storm drains, trench drains and catch basin leads
- Car wash and loading-dock drains carrying grit
- Condo kitchen and laundry stacks
Safety and site care
We set up with cones and floor protection, and we keep the water contained. Kitchen lines are jetted when the line is down so staff are not around open drains. Any confined space, such as a deep manhole, is assessed before anyone enters, and most work is done from the surface.
Brampton notes
Many Brampton industrial and warehouse buildings sit on flat lots with long, nearly level drains, which let sediment settle. Older commercial strips downtown have clay or cast-iron laterals that roots find. A yearly jet keeps both kinds of property ahead of trouble.
Asked at the shop counter
Is jetting safe for old cast iron?
Yes, at the right pressure and nozzle. We camera the line first to see its condition.
Can jetting clear roots?
Root-cutting nozzles cut and flush small intrusions. Heavy roots may need a mechanical cutter first.
