Ottawa Hydro-Jetting
Hydro-jetting is a powerful and safe way to clear tough clogs, grease buildup, and invasive roots from your plumbing system. Unlike chemical drain cleaners that can damage pipes, our hydro jet technology uses pressurized water to completely clean your drains without harming your plumbing or the environment.
At Francis Home Environment, we offer expert hydro jet drain cleaning across Ottawa using industry-leading hydro jetter equipment. Whether you’re dealing with slow drains, recurring backups, or unpleasant odours, we’re ready to help.

Our Hydro-Jet Drain Cleaning Process
1
We begin the process by inserting a specialized drain camera into your plumbing system to thoroughly inspect the interior of your pipes. This allows us to accurately locate any clogs, buildup, or damage, and understand the overall condition of the piping before starting the cleaning.
2
Next, our technicians identify the best access point to connect the hydro-jetting equipment. The hydro-jet nozzle is carefully guided through your pipes, releasing high-pressure water to break apart and flush out years of accumulated debris. This includes stubborn grease, mineral scale, sludge, and even intrusive tree roots that may be restricting water flow.
3
After the cleaning is complete, we conduct a second camera inspection to ensure all blockages have been fully cleared. This final check gives you peace of mind that your pipes are clean, undamaged, and flowing freely again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hydro Jetting
What is a Hydro - Jet?
A hydro-jet is a specialized plumbing tool that uses highly pressurized water to clean and clear drains and pipes. Unlike traditional drain snakes that only break through blockages, a hydro-jet system includes a high-pressure pump, specialized hoses, and various nozzles to create powerful streams of water at pressures ranging from 1,500 to 4,000 PSI. This force is enough to break apart and flush away even the toughest blockages like grease, mineral deposits, sand, sludge, and tree roots, without damaging your plumbing. Professional hydro-jet units are much more powerful than consumer-grade pressure washers, making them the ideal choice for comprehensive pipe cleaning and restoring your plumbing system to near-original condition.
How Does Hydro - Jetting Work?
Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water streams to clean your pipes. A technician inserts a hose with specialized nozzles into your plumbing through an access point. The system pumps water at 1,500 to 4,000 PSI, breaking through blockages and flushing debris downstream. The nozzles direct jets forward to clear clogs and spray backward to clean the pipe walls. This 360-degree cleaning removes both blockages and buildup, ensuring your pipes are thoroughly cleaned without damaging the plumbing.
What are the Signs That I Need Hydro - Jet Drain Cleaning?
While minor slow drains can often be fixed with basic solutions, recurring or severe blockages signal deeper issues that only hydro-jetting can address. Look out for these signs that indicate your drains need professional hydro-jetting service:
- Multiple clogged drains in your home
- Recurring clogs that return after chemical cleaners or traditional snaking
- Slow drainage in several fixtures, especially when using water in other parts of the house
- Gurgling sounds from toilets, sinks, or bathtubs when water is running
