Don’t wait until a small drainage issue turns into a costly plumbing emergency—get in touch with Knight Plumbing today to schedule your professional hydro-jet drain cleaning.
Our Hydro-Jet Drain Cleaning Process
1
We start by inspecting your plumbing using high-resolution camera equipment to accurately locate the source of blockages and assess the condition of your pipes before beginning the hydro-jetting process.
2
Our technicians strategically place the hydro-jetter at the most effective entry point into your plumbing system. We then navigate the high-pressure water nozzle through your pipes, delivering concentrated water blasts that break up and remove sludge, scale, grease, and even tree root intrusions.
3
Once the cleaning is complete, we perform a final camera inspection to ensure that all debris has been flushed out and that water is flowing smoothly through your pipes.

FAQS About Hydro-Jetting
What is a Hydro-Jet?
A hydro-jet is a powerful plumbing tool that utilizes high-pressure water to clean and clear interior pipe walls and remove blockages. Unlike snaking tools that simply puncture through clogs, hydro-jetting systems use a pump, hoses, and precision nozzles to release pressurized water between 1,500 and 4,000 PSI. This force is strong enough to dislodge thick buildup, including oils, soap residue, roots, and other debris, without harming your pipes.
These professional-grade machines far exceed the cleaning capabilities of home pressure washers, providing a complete, deep-clean solution that restores your pipes to optimal working condition.
How Does Hydro-Jetting Work?
Hydro-jetting cleans pipes by blasting high-pressure water through specialized nozzles inserted into your drainage system via an access point like a cleanout or removed trap. The hose moves through the pipes, releasing water streams that cut through blockages and scrub the inner pipe walls.
The nozzles are engineered to spray in multiple directions—forward to push through debris and backward or sideways to clean all-around. This 360-degree water force clears the clog and removes lingering buildup across the entire length of the pipe. As the water flows through, it carries away the loosened material, leaving your plumbing clean and functional.
What are the Signs That I Need Hydro-Jet Drain Cleaning?
Some minor clogs may clear with simple methods, but persistent or widespread issues often signal deeper blockages that hydro-jetting is designed to fix. Look for these warning signs that it’s time to call Knight Plumbing for hydro-jetting in Calgary:
- Multiple drains in your home are clogging up at the same time
- Blockages that return soon after using store-bought chemicals or a drain snake
- Slow-draining sinks, tubs, or toilets, especially when other water is running elsewhere
- Bubbling or gurgling noises from bathtubs, sinks, or toilets during use
- Persistent bad smells coming from your drains, even after regular cleaning
- Water backing into tubs or showers when flushing toilets or using the laundry machine
- Drain issues becoming more frequent, suggesting a growing buildup inside the plumbing
- Debris or dirty water flowing back into fixtures when in use
- Signs of root growth in pipes, common in older Calgary homes with large trees
- Your drainage system hasn’t been professionally cleaned in several years, especially in homes over two decades old
If you notice any of these symptoms, our expert hydro-jetting service can help restore your drainage system.
