Hydro Jetting & Line Flushing

Hydro jetting and line flushing for storm drains that keep backing up.

Hydro jetting and line flushing for blocked storm lines, perimeter drains and downstream catch basin outlets across the Lower Mainland.

What hydro and line jetting includes on site

Hydro jetting addresses the restriction inside the line, not just the basin. It is the next step when water cannot leave through the outlet or a drain keeps backing up after cleaning.

  • High-pressure water jetting through storm lines, perimeter drains and catch basin outlet pipes
  • Root intrusion, compacted sediment and grease-bound debris cut and flushed downstream
  • Paired vacuum extraction to capture displaced material before it re-blocks a downstream basin
  • Jetting nozzle selection matched to pipe diameter and blockage type

Post-flush flow confirmation — water introduced at upstream end, observed at outlet

Jetting cleared the line — now find out why it blocked in the first place.

High-pressure flushing removes the blockage but does not show you the pipe condition underneath. A CCTV camera run after jetting reveals root intrusion points, pipe offsets, bellies holding sediment, or cracked sections that will cause the same backup within months. Catching a structural issue now avoids emergency excavation later.

Cleaned but still backing up?

Use the repeat-backup guide before guessing at the blockage.

Hydro jetting is the right tool when a cleaned basin cannot move water through the downstream storm line. The cleaned-but-still-backing-up guide explains when jetting should be paired with camera inspection, especially for repeat backups, root intrusion, pipe bellies or unknown outlet routes.

Parkade drains

Have water collecting inside a parkade or underground lot?

Parkade trench drains, ramp drains and low-point catch basins need a slightly different checklist than an open parking lot. If water is near doors, elevator lobbies, electrical rooms or storage areas, use the parkade request path.

Parkade drain cleaning

Useful for strata and commercial buildings with trench drains, ramp drains, sump areas or repeated pooling before rain.

Cleaning or jetting?

If debris removal does not restore flow, the outlet line may need hydro jetting or camera inspection.

For property managers, basin count, access notes and timing turn a vague request into a workable seasonal plan.

Service FAQ

Questions before booking this service.

When is hydro jetting needed instead of standard catch basin cleaning?

If the basin refills with standing water within days of being vacuumed, or if the outlet pipe shows no flow when flushed, the downstream line is restricted. Hydro jetting is the right tool when sediment, roots or compacted debris have built up inside the pipe itself — not just in the basin sump.

Will high-pressure jetting damage older clay or concrete storm pipes?

Jetting pressure and nozzle type are selected based on pipe material and diameter. Fragile or partially collapsed pipe sections are a reason to run a camera first — jetting into a structurally compromised line can worsen the damage. If there is any uncertainty about pipe condition, we recommend inspection before jetting.

Can you jet a perimeter drain or French drain on a strata property?

Yes. Perimeter drains, weeping tile and French drain systems can be flushed if there is accessible cleanout or entry point. We assess the entry point and pipe size on site before committing to a jetting run. If the line is too deteriorated or the entry is blocked, we flag that before starting work.

Optional — a rough count helps dispatch size the visit.

If water is actively backing up or entering a building, call dispatch as well as submitting the form.

Helpful details: where water is pooling, access notes and whether this is a repeat backup.

For urgent water backup or flooding, call (778) 312-3314. A dispatcher will follow up by phone or email.

Need a truck quickly?

Call for urgent flooding, storm drain backups or catch basins that are already overflowing.
