When a drain keeps clogging no matter how many times you clear it, it is time to see what is really happening inside the pipe, and clean it the way a snake never can.
A standard drain snake punches a hole through a clog and lets water flow again, but it does not clean the walls of the pipe, which is why so many drains clog again within weeks. Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure stream of water to scour the entire interior of the pipe clean, removing grease, scale and sludge, and cutting back roots, which can take more than one pass.
Camera inspection is the other half of the equation. By feeding a waterproof camera directly into your drain or sewer line, we can see exactly what is going on inside, whether it is grease buildup, tree roots, a sagging section of pipe, or a crack letting water in. That means we recommend the right fix the first time, instead of guessing.
Together, these two services are the most effective way to deal with a drain or sewer line that keeps clogging despite repeated cleanings. We use them on kitchen and bathroom drains, main sewer lines, and commercial drainage systems alike, and we will always show you what the camera sees before recommending any repair.
In the older core of Newmarket, original clay sewer laterals let mature tree roots in at the joints, and in heritage Aurora many houses still drain through original clay or cast iron. Along the Georgina lakeshore and in older Keswick, many cottage conversions were tied into municipal sewer without replacing the original drain runs, and recurring backups often trace back to those runs.
Snaking clears a path through a clog. Hydro jetting cleans the whole pipe. If a drain keeps coming back, this is usually the difference-maker.
Straightforward, no-surprise service from the first call to the final test.
Before we recommend anything, we feed a camera into the line to see exactly what is happening inside, no guesswork.
We walk you through the footage so you can see the blockage, buildup, or damage for yourself, in plain language.
Using high-pressure water, we scour the full interior of the pipe clean, not just punch a hole through the clog.
A follow-up camera check confirms the line is fully clear and gives you a clear picture of its condition going forward.
We go in through the nearest cleanout, usually in the basement floor. If there is none, we may go in through a toilet or another fixture and tell you first, because access affects the price. You watch the camera footage with us.
If the camera finds a break or a belly, we mark where it is so any sewer line repair quote is built on its real position. On a septic property, tell us when you book so we know where the line ends before we jet it.
If the camera shows a sound line that still backs up in heavy rain, the answer is usually a backwater valve rather than more cleaning. Ask us about municipal subsidy programs.
The price is in writing before the jetter starts.

Hydro jetting and camera drain inspections are available in every community we serve.
A camera inspection and hydro jetting show what is really going on inside the pipe, so we fix the cause rather than the symptom.
