Parts of a Sink: A Complete Guide for Homeowners
Most people use their kitchen or bathroom sink dozens of times a day without giving a single thought to how
When standard drain cleaning methods aren't cutting it, hydro jetting gets the job done. Absolute Draining & Plumbing provides professional high-pressure hydro jetting services to homeowners throughout Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area — clearing even the most stubborn blockages completely and without damage to your pipes.
Most drain blockages aren't just a simple clog sitting in one spot. Over time, grease, scale, sediment, and debris build up along the interior walls of your pipes, gradually restricting flow until drainage slows to a crawl — or stops altogether. Snaking a drain can punch a hole through a blockage and restore temporary flow, but it rarely removes the underlying buildup. That's why the same drain keeps blocking again a few months later.
Hydro jetting works differently. Using water pressurised to thousands of PSI, our equipment scours the full interior circumference of your pipes — blasting away grease accumulation, mineral deposits, tree root intrusion, and compacted debris from the pipe walls entirely. The result isn't just a cleared path through the blockage — it's a pipe that's been thoroughly cleaned from the inside out, restoring it as close to its original capacity as possible.
Across the Greater Toronto Area, ageing drain lines in older homes are particularly prone to the kind of slow, progressive buildup that hydro jetting is designed to address. Whether it's a kitchen drain clogged with years of grease, a main sewer line backed up with roots and sediment, or a floor drain that's never quite drained properly, hydro jetting delivers a level of cleaning that no other method can match — and results that last significantly longer than a standard snake job.
Hydro jetting is a fast, effective process when carried out by experienced hands. Here's what to expect when you get in touch with us.

Have questions about hydro jetting in Toronto? Here are straightforward answers to what homeowners ask us most. If you don't find what you're looking for, give us a call any time — we're available around the clock.
Hydro jetting uses a specialised nozzle connected to a high-pressure water system to clean the interior of drain and sewer pipes. The nozzle is inserted into the line and propels pressurised water in multiple directions simultaneously — forward to break up blockages and backwards to flush debris down the line and scour the pipe walls clean.
Unlike snaking, which simply creates an opening through a blockage, hydro jetting removes the buildup from the pipe walls entirely — restoring flow capacity and leaving far less material behind for future blockages to form on.
In most cases, yes — but a camera inspection beforehand is essential. Before we carry out any hydro jetting, we inspect the line with a camera to assess the pipe’s condition and confirm it can handle high-pressure cleaning safely. For pipes that are significantly deteriorated or partially collapsed, we’ll recommend a repair before proceeding rather than risk causing further damage.
Our plumbers have extensive experience working with the full range of pipe materials found in GTA homes — including older clay tile, cast iron, and ABS plastic — and we adjust our approach accordingly.
A drain snake is a mechanical tool that breaks through or retrieves a blockage. It’s effective for clearing a single obstruction, but it doesn’t address the buildup lining the pipe walls — which means the blockage tends to return before long.
Hydro jetting cleans the entire interior surface of the pipe, not just the point of blockage. It removes grease, scale, root fragments, and compacted debris from the walls themselves, leaving the pipe significantly cleaner and restoring much more of its original flow capacity.
Most residential hydro jetting jobs are completed within one to two hours, including the camera inspection we conduct beforehand. More involved situations — such as a heavily blocked main sewer line or a system that hasn’t been cleaned in many years — may take longer.

That depends on your household’s usage and the condition of your pipes. For most homes, a professional drain cleaning every one to two years is sufficient to prevent serious buildup from accumulating. Homes with large households, older drain lines, or a history of recurring blockages may benefit from more frequent service.
If you’ve never had your drains professionally cleaned — or if it’s been several years since the last time — it’s worth booking a camera inspection first to get a clear picture of what you’re working with before deciding on a cleaning schedule going forward.
Whether you're dealing with a blocked drain right now or want to get ahead of a buildup problem before it turns into a backup, Absolute Draining & Plumbing is ready to help. Licensed, insured, and available around the clock throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
