Professional Drain & Sewer Jetting in Cape Breton

Drain jetting, also known as sewer jetting or high-pressure water jetting, is a professional drain cleaning method that uses pressurized water to remove grease, sludge, sediment, roots, debris, and other buildup from inside sewer and drain lines. Rather than simply creating an opening through a blockage, drain jetting can clean buildup from the interior walls of the pipe and help restore proper flow. 

Sewer jetting uses specialized equipment to send high-pressure water through a drain or sewer line. Jetting nozzles direct water through the pipe to break apart blockages, loosen accumulated buildup, and flush debris through the drainage system. The equipment and water pressure used depend on the size, condition, and type of line being cleaned. 

Drain snaking typically uses a mechanical cable or cutting attachment to break through or remove a blockage. While this can restore flow, it may leave grease, scale, sludge, and other buildup along the pipe walls. High-pressure drain jetting is designed to clean the interior of the pipe more thoroughly by breaking up and flushing away accumulated material. The best method depends on the type of blockage and condition of the drainage system. 

High-pressure sewer jetting can remove or break apart some root intrusion, depending on the severity of the problem and condition of the pipe. However, roots entering a sewer line can indicate cracks, failed joints, or other structural problems. If root intrusion is suspected, a CCTV sewer camera inspection can help determine the condition of the line and whether additional repairs may be required. 

Yes. High-pressure water jetting is particularly effective for removing grease and other buildup from commercial and residential drain lines. Grease can accumulate along the interior walls of a pipe over time, gradually restricting flow and contributing to recurring blockages. Professional drain jetting helps break down and flush accumulated grease from the line. 

When performed by experienced technicians using equipment appropriate for the application, high-pressure water jetting can safely clean many types of sewer and drain lines. However, the condition, age, and material of the pipe need to be considered. If there are concerns about the integrity of a line, a CCTV camera inspection can be used to assess its condition before or after jetting. 

Yes. KDR Industrial Services provides residential sewer and drain jetting for problems such as slow drainage, recurring blockages, grease buildup, sediment, roots, and accumulated debris. We can also perform CCTV sewer camera inspections when further investigation is needed to identify the cause or location of a drainage problem. 

Yes. We provide professional commercial drain and sewer jetting for restaurants, businesses, apartment buildings, industrial facilities, institutions, and other commercial properties throughout Cape Breton. High-pressure drain cleaning can be used to address existing blockages or as part of a preventative maintenance program to help keep drainage systems flowing properly. 

Yes. KDR Industrial Services provides storm drain, drainage line, and culvert cleaning for commercial, industrial, and municipal applications. Depending on the project, high-pressure water jetting, vacuum equipment, or a combination of services may be used to remove sediment, mud, debris, and other material restricting water flow. 

Recurring drain and sewer blockages can be caused by grease, sludge, sediment, roots, scale, foreign objects, damaged piping, poor drainage, or other structural problems. If a drain continues to block after being cleaned, a CCTV sewer camera inspection can help identify what's happening inside the line and determine whether cleaning or further repairs are needed. 

Yes. KDR Industrial Services offers CCTV sewer and pipe camera inspections that can be performed after drain jetting when required. Inspecting the line after cleaning provides a clearer view of the pipe and can help identify cracks, damaged joints, root intrusion, deterioration, or other structural concerns that may have been hidden by buildup or debris. 

If the problem appears to be caused by grease, sludge, sediment, or accumulated debris, drain jetting may be the appropriate solution. If you're experiencing recurring blockages, unexplained drainage problems, or need to know the condition of the pipe itself, a CCTV camera inspection may be recommended. In some situations, the most effective approach is to clean the line first and then inspect it with a camera.

You don't need to determine this yourself before calling us. Describe the problem you're experiencing and our team can recommend the appropriate service.
