Blocked and slow-running drains rarely clear up on their own, and repeated clogs are often a sign of a bigger problem building up inside the pipe. At Vancouver Underground Drainage Experts, we have been helping homeowners, strata properties, and commercial buildings across Vancouver clear stubborn drain and sewer line blockages using professional hydro jetting equipment.
Our team understands the unique drainage challenges Vancouver properties face, including heavy rainfall, tree root intrusion, aging clay and cast iron pipes, grease buildup, and sediment in older drain tile systems. Whether you have a slow kitchen drain, a backed-up sewer line, a clogged storm drain, or a perimeter drain tile that is no longer draining properly, we can inspect the line and recommend the right hydro jetting solution.
We are known for providing honest assessments, clear communication, and quality workmanship. Our hydro jetting services are backed by professional-grade jetting equipment and camera inspection technology designed to fully clear your line, protect your pipes, and reduce the risk of repeat blockages. From residential drain cleaning and storm drain flushing to drain tile cleaning and sewer line jetting, Vancouver property owners trust our team to keep their drainage systems flowing freely.

Our Services
A clear, properly flowing drain line is essential for protecting your home from backups, flooding, and water damage. At Vancouver Underground Drainage Experts, we provide residential and commercial hydro jetting, storm drain cleaning, drain tile cleaning, and drain camera inspections throughout Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Whether your drain line is slow, clogged, or backing up, our experienced team can identify the cause and recommend the right long-term solution.
Grease, sludge, roots, mineral scale, and years of built-up debris can restrict flow and cause recurring clogs inside drain and sewer lines. Our hydro jet drain cleaning service uses high-pressure water jetting to scour the full diameter of the pipe, removing blockages and buildup that a standard cable or snake often leaves behind. We use professional-grade jetting equipment, along with drain cameras when appropriate, to thoroughly clean residential and commercial drain lines and confirm the blockage has been fully cleared.
Leaves, mud, gravel, and yard debris can block exterior storm drains, driveway drains, and yard drains, leading to standing water and drainage backups. Our storm drain cleaning service uses hydro jetting to clear blocked exterior drain lines and restore proper water flow around your property.
Perimeter drain tiles collect sediment, roots, and mineral buildup over time, which can reduce their ability to move groundwater away from your foundation. Our drain tile cleaning service uses hydro jetting to flush sediment and buildup from perimeter drainage systems, helping restore proper drainage around your foundation.
Before or after hydro jetting, a drain camera inspection can help confirm the condition of the pipe, the exact location of a blockage, and whether the line is a good candidate for jetting. Our drain camera inspection service gives you a clear picture of what is happening inside your drain or sewer line.

Hydro jet drain cleaning is a drain cleaning method that uses a high-pressure stream of water to scour the interior walls of a drain or sewer pipe. Unlike a cable or snake, which cuts a path through a blockage, hydro jetting sprays water at high pressure through a specialized nozzle to remove grease, sludge, mineral scale, and debris from the full diameter of the pipe, restoring the line closer to its original flow capacity.
Hydro jetting is typically recommended for recurring clogs, slow-draining fixtures, grease buildup in kitchen lines, mud or sediment in exterior drains, root intrusion in sewer lines, and general debris accumulation that keeps causing the same blockage to return. If a drain line has been snaked repeatedly without a lasting fix, hydro jetting is often the next step.
A drain snake or cable clears a path through a blockage by cutting or pushing through it, while hydro jetting uses pressurized water to clean the entire inner wall of the pipe. For drain lines with significant grease buildup, sediment, or root growth, hydro jetting typically provides a more thorough clean than snaking alone.
Yes, hydro jetting can cut through and clear smaller root intrusions inside a drain or sewer line, though larger or more established root systems may need to be paired with our drainage root cleaning service or a repair to fully resolve the issue.
Exterior storm drains, yard drains, and driveway drains can collect soil, leaves, mud, gravel, and other organic debris over time, which slows or blocks drainage. Hydro jetting is an effective way to flush this material out of exterior drain lines and restore proper flow. See our dedicated Storm Drain Cleaning page for more information.
Perimeter drain tiles around a home’s foundation can become blocked with sediment, root intrusion, and mineral buildup over time, reducing their ability to move groundwater away from the foundation. Hydro jetting can flush this buildup from the drain tile and help restore proper drainage.
In many cases, yes. A drain camera inspection helps our team identify the pipe material and condition, the exact location and type of blockage, and whether hydro jetting is a safe option for that line.
Jetting pressure is adjusted based on the age, material, and condition of the pipe. For older, damaged, or fragile drain lines, we typically recommend a camera inspection first, and in some cases our exterior and interior drainage repair services are a better first step than jetting.
Yes, hydro jetting can be used alongside our catch basin installation and cleaning services to flush debris out of connected drain lines and restore proper flow through the catch basin.
Keeping drain tiles and perimeter drainage lines clear reduces the risk of water pooling around your foundation, which can contribute to leaks over time. Hydro jetting is often paired with our foundation waterproofing services for a more complete solution.
If a camera inspection reveals a collapsed, cracked, or severely damaged section of pipe, hydro jetting alone may not be enough. In these cases, we can recommend a drainage replacement for the affected section of line.
Yes, hydro jetting can be used to flush sediment and debris from drain lines connected to a French drain system. If the French drain itself needs to be repaired or replaced, we also provide French drain installation services.
Keeping the drain lines feeding into your sump pit clear helps your sump pump system work as intended. Hydro jetting can be used to clean these connected lines, and we also provide sump pump installation for exterior sump pit systems.
Clear, properly flowing drain lines are an important part of preventing basement flooding, especially during heavy rainfall. Hydro jetting is often used together with our basement waterproofing services for more complete protection.
Our hydro jetting process typically includes:
Hydro jetting pricing depends on the length and diameter of the drain line, its accessibility, the severity of the blockage, and whether a camera inspection is needed. We provide a detailed on-site or camera assessment before beginning any work so you know what to expect — see the Pricing Section above for sample starting estimates.
