Cabling can punch a hole through a clog, but it often leaves grease, scale, and buildup clinging to the pipe walls — which is why the same clog has a habit of coming back. Leakless Plumbing uses high-pressure hydro jetting to scour the full interior diameter of drain and sewer lines clean, for homes, restaurants, and multi-unit buildings across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. Camera inspection first, honest diagnosis, and a local plumber who actually answers the phone. No forms, no waiting. Just call.
From a single clogged drain line to a grease-choked commercial kitchen, hydro jetting scours pipe walls clean instead of just punching a hole through the blockage. Here is where we use it most.
Kitchen, bathroom, and laundry lines that clog again and again despite cabling are often coated with grease and soap buildup. Hydro jetting clears the buildup off the pipe walls, not just the clog in the middle.
Call for HelpWhen the main line is carrying years of sludge, scale, or root intrusion, jetting clears the full diameter of the pipe rather than punching a narrow path through the mess. For a standard clog, see our drain cleaning service; call us for jetting when a line needs a deeper clean.
Call for Emergency HelpGrease-lined kitchen drains stop restaurants cold. Jetting scours grease off the pipe walls for a longer-lasting clean than cabling alone. See our commercial plumbing service for restaurants and multi-unit properties.
Call for Commercial ServiceTree roots that have worked their way into pipe joints can be cut back and the line jetted clean, clearing root fragments and the debris they trap along the way.
Call for HelpRestaurants and multi-unit buildings with a history of recurring clogs often do better on a scheduled jetting maintenance plan than waiting for the next backup.
Call a GTA PlumberBefore we diagnose a line with a camera or plan a repair, we sometimes jet it clean first so the picture on screen is the actual pipe wall, not just debris. See our sewer camera inspection service for details.
Call for HelpHydro jetting is not the right call for every clog, but for the situations below it is often the difference between a temporary fix and a lasting one.
Grease clings to pipe walls and hardens over time. Cabling opens a path through it; jetting strips it off the walls, which is why commercial kitchens rely on it.
If the same drain clogs again a few weeks after cabling, buildup is likely still coating the pipe walls. Jetting removes what cabling leaves behind.
Older cast iron lines can accumulate decades of scale and sludge that narrow the usable diameter of the pipe. Jetting clears it back to bare pipe wall.
Roots that have worked into pipe joints trap debris and keep the line clogging. Jetting clears roots and the material they catch.
Properties with heavy drain use benefit from scheduled jetting to stay ahead of buildup instead of reacting to the next backup.
Diagnosing or repairing a pipe accurately means seeing the actual pipe wall. Jetting clears debris out of the way before a camera inspection or repair.
Jetting is powerful, so we do not point it at a pipe blind. Here is exactly how a hydro jetting call works from the moment you dial 437-996-1996.
Call 437-996-1996 and tell us about the drain or sewer line — how long it has been an issue, whether it has been cabled before, and how often it clogs. We give you honest guidance right away and dispatch a local GTA plumber.
Before we jet anything, we run a camera down the line to check its age, material, and condition. This confirms the pipe can safely handle high-pressure jetting.
Using professional jetting equipment, we scour the full interior diameter of the pipe clean — grease, scale, sludge, and root debris — not just a path through the middle.
We run the camera through the line again after jetting to confirm it is genuinely clear, not just temporarily open, before we call the job done.
A cable or auger is a fast, effective way to open a blocked drain — it pushes through the clog and pulls back what it can reach, restoring flow quickly. What it does not do is clean the pipe. Grease, scale, and sludge coating the walls are often left behind, which is why a line that was just cabled can clog again within weeks.
Hydro jetting takes a different approach. A high-pressure water stream scours the full interior diameter of the pipe, stripping buildup off the walls instead of just punching through the middle. For grease-heavy commercial lines, recurring residential clogs, and older pipe with heavy scale, that full clean tends to last much longer than cabling alone.
Jetting is not right for every pipe, though. A line that is already cracked, badly corroded, or structurally fragile may not be a safe candidate for high-pressure water — jetting an already-compromised pipe can make things worse, not better. That is why every hydro jetting job starts with a camera inspection to confirm the line can handle it. Learn more about how we check a line first on our sewer camera inspection page, and if the inspection turns up damage that jetting cannot fix, see our sewer line repair service for the next step.

Have a hydro jetting question that is not here? The fastest answer is always a quick call to 437-996-1996.
Drain snaking (cabling) pushes a rotating cable through a clog to punch an opening and pull out what it can reach, but it often leaves grease, scale, and debris stuck to the pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure water stream to scour the full interior diameter of the pipe clean, removing buildup from the walls rather than just opening a path through the middle. Call 437-996-1996 to find out which approach fits your line.
It depends on the pipe's age, material, and condition. Hydro jetting is safe for most pipe types, but a line that is already cracked, severely corroded, or badly deteriorated may not be a good candidate for high-pressure jetting. That is why we run a camera inspection first to check the condition of the pipe before we jet it — we would rather tell you jetting is not the right move than risk damaging a fragile line. Call 437-996-1996 and we will walk you through it.
Yes. Grease-heavy commercial kitchen lines are one of the best uses for hydro jetting — cabling alone rarely clears grease-coated pipe walls for long, while jetting scours the line clean. We work with restaurants and commercial kitchens across the GTA on both emergency grease line jetting and scheduled preventive maintenance. Call 437-996-1996 for commercial service.
It varies by property. Restaurants and commercial kitchens with heavy grease loads often benefit from jetting on a regular schedule, while a multi-unit building or a home with a history of recurring clogs may need it less often. Call 437-996-1996 and we can recommend a schedule based on your line's history.
In most cases we can get a plumber out quickly, often within the same day depending on your location and the day's schedule. Because hydro jetting starts with a camera inspection, we will also give you an honest read on timing once we see the condition of the line. Call 437-996-1996 and we will tell you straight away what is realistic.
