Hydro jetting is an extremely effective method used by licensed plumbers to remove even the most stubborn clogs and open sewage lines. Water is blasted at high pressure into the plumbing lines at about 4000 psi. Hydro jetting will completely clean out your pipes and is more effective than snaking (as drain snakes only break up clogs but leave any build up on pipe walls). It must be noted that hydro jetting is only recommended to be done by a professional plumber.

We recommend having sewer lines inspected prior to purchasing or renting a new home, so you can negotiate repairs instead of unexpectedly facing a pricey problem. We also recommend having sewer lines inspected prior to a kitchen or bathroom renovation or addition to ensure the new system can handle the additional flow. Just like with other home systems, regular maintenance can help to prevent unwanted problems. Periodic cleaning of sewer lines can help to prevent clogs or backups. Grease, hair, food and other debris can gradually build up over time and cause a backup. Environmental factors, such as shifting ground or tree roots can also cause pipe leaks or backups.

About 95% of sewer lines can be relined using the trenchless CIPP technology. If the existing pipes have not completely collapsed, pipelining can restore virtually any type of sewer line including clay, cast iron, PVC, plastic and concrete. There are; however, two other trenchless methods that may be used when CIPP is not an option: trenchless pipe bursting and directional drilling. We start every job by completely inspecting the sewer line with a video camera, so that we can accurately diagnose the problem and discuss the possible repair or replacement options with you.

For trenchless sewer repair, we install cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP). The benefits of this material include: Corrosion resistant Leak resistant Root infestation resistant For trenchless pipe bursting and directional drilling, we install HDPE pipe. The benefits of this material include: Corrosion resistant Leak resistant Scale and biological build-up resistant High strain allowance, virtually eliminating breakage due to freezing temperatures Flexibility requires fewer fittings
