Some clogs are easier to clear than others. When snaking or plunging doesn’t solve the issue, sewer jetting is one of the most effective ways to get things flowing again. At Caldwell Plumbing, we use high-pressure water to safely and thoroughly clean your pipes with no harsh chemicals and no damage to your system.
We provide sewer jetting and drain cleaning services across Pickering and the entire Durham Region, helping homeowners and businesses deal with backups, blockages, and recurring drainage issues quickly and reliably.
What Is Sewer Jetting and How Does It Work?
Sewer jetting – hydro jetting and high-pressure drain cleaning for your sewer line – is a powerful method of clearing clogged or slow-moving drains. It uses a high-pressure hose to send water through your sewer line at up to 4,000 PSI. The force of the water cuts through grease, scale, sludge, and even tree roots!
It’s more than a quick fix. Jetting scrubs the inside of the pipe wall clean, restoring proper flow and preventing future buildup. Because it only uses water, it’s also safe for most plumbing systems, including older lines.
When to Consider Sewer Jetting Over Snaking
Drain snaking can help break up minor clogs closer to the surface, but it’s limited in what it can remove. Jetting is a better choice when:
- Drains are slow or keep backing up
- You’ve tried snaking, but the problem returns
- There’s a blockage further down the line
- Tree roots are intruding into your sewer pipe
Why Sewer Jetting Is the Right Choice for Clogged Pipes
Unclogging a drain is one thing; fully cleaning out your pipes is another. That’s exactly what makes sewer jetting stand out. It doesn’t just poke a hole through the blockage. It removes the buildup entirely, washing away grease, sludge, scale, and anything else restricting the pipe.
The result is a longer-lasting fix. You won’t be dealing with the same drain blockage next month. Because the process is non-invasive, there’s no need to dig up your yard, tear out drywall, or replace your plumbing. We handle the job quickly, cleanly, and with minimal disruption.
