Mains, stacks and garage drains
Commercial drain jetting and line clearing
Cable machines punch a hole through a clog; a jetter scrubs the whole pipe. For building mains, kitchen lines and garage drains, we jet to bare pipe and camera the result.

Lines we jet on commercial properties
- Building sanitary mains from the cleanout to the property line
- Kitchen branch lines and floor sinks in food service
- Parking garage and loading dock trench drains
- Storm lines and area drains that silt up
- Shared plaza laterals that serve several tenants
Jetting versus cabling
- Cable machine: fast for a hard blockage, but leaves grease and scale on the pipe walls.
- Jetter: water at high pressure through a rear-facing nozzle that pulls itself forward and scours the full circumference.
- Both: on heavy root intrusions, we cut first and jet after to flush the debris out.
On the job
- Locate access. Cleanouts, roof vents or a pulled fixture, chosen to keep the mess in one area.
- Camera first where needed. We confirm the pipe is sound enough for jetting.
- Jet the line. Nozzle choice depends on the material: grease, scale, roots or sand.
- Camera again. You see the clean pipe, and we note any cracks or bellies found.
Signs a commercial line needs jetting
- Clogs that come back within weeks of cabling
- Floor drains that gurgle when upstream fixtures run
- Odours from cleanouts or trench drains
- Standing water in garage drains after rain
Setting a maintenance schedule
Lines that serve kitchens or many units build up at a steady rate. After the first jetting and camera run, we can suggest an interval so the line is cleaned before it blocks, which is cheaper than an emergency on a busy day.
Questions we get about this
Is jetting safe for old cast iron?
Usually, when pressure and nozzle are matched to the pipe. We camera old lines first to check their condition.
How long does commercial jetting take?
A single kitchen branch can be quick; a long building main takes longer. We give you an estimate after seeing the access points.
Will you show us the camera footage?
Yes. You see the line before and after, and we describe any defects we found.
