When jetting beats cabling
- Grease buildup in restaurant and food court lines
- Scale lining old cast iron stacks
- Sand and silt in parking garage and loading dock drains
- Repeat clogs on the same line within weeks of cabling
What the service includes
- Initial camera inspection to see the condition and size of the line
- Choosing the nozzle: penetrating, rotating or root-cutting
- Jetting upstream from the lowest cleanout
- Collecting debris at the cleanout so it does not spread
- Final camera pass and a short report with what we found
Step by step on site
- Set up the jetter and protect floors around the cleanout
- Feed the hose in; rear-facing jets drag it forward
- Work sections slowly, pulling back to flush debris down
- Run water through every connected fixture
- Camera check and cap the cleanout
Lines we jet regularly
- Kitchen branches in plazas and food courts
- Building sewers from multi-unit properties to the city connection
- Trench and area drains in garages and loading bays
- Laundry lines in coin laundries and apartment buildings

Answers our Mississauga crew gives most
Can jetting damage old pipe?
Badly cracked or broken pipe can be made worse by any cleaning method. So the camera goes in before the nozzle does, and pressure is set to what the pipe can take.
How often should a commercial line be jetted?
It depends on use. After one jetting and camera check we can suggest a reasonable interval for that line.
