Professional High-pressure Sewer Flushing (Hydro Jetting) in the Edmonton Area
Material buildup in toilets, drains, and main sewer lines can restrict flow and cause slow drainage. Severe blockages require equipment beyond standard household tools. Canessco Services Inc. provides high-pressure sewer flushing in the Edmonton area to clean and unclog your sewer lines in an efficient and cost-effective way.
High-pressure sewer flushing (hydro jetting) uses powerful streams of water to break apart stubborn clogs and remove grease, scale, sludge, and debris from the inner walls of sewer lines. Unlike basic cleaning methods, hydro jetting not only clears blockages but also helps prevent future buildup by thoroughly cleaning the entire pipe. Contact Canessco Services Inc. today for reliable hydro jetting services in Edmonton and keep your sewer system running clean, clear, and efficient.
How Does High-Pressure Sewer Flushing (Hydro Jetting) Work?
High-pressure sewer flushing, also known as hydro jetting, uses specialized equipment mounted on a combination sewer flusher truck to clean sewer and drain lines. The system delivers pressurized water through a heavy-duty hose fitted with specialized nozzles, producing a powerful stream that breaks down grease, sludge, tree roots, and other debris.
These trucks are equipped with high-capacity water systems, including a 1-inch hose producing 60–80 gallons per minute at up to 3000 PSI, and a smaller hose delivering 15–30 gallons per minute at up to 2000 PSI. Our equipment includes a range of specialized nozzle attachments that enable targeted cleaning and ensure effective removal of buildup across various pipe sizes and conditions.
The benefits using hydro jetting is :
-
Removes solid waste from sanitary and storm sewers.
-
Prevents blockages and overflows during high-use periods.
-
Improves flow efficiency in municipal and industrial pipelines.
-
Reduces odours caused by decaying organic material.
-
Extends the service life of underground infrastructure.

Hydro Jetting for Home Drain and Sewer Cleaning
Hydro jetting is an effective solution for residential sewer and drain cleaning, especially when recurring clogs or slow drainage disrupt daily plumbing use. This process uses high-pressure water to break down and flush out buildup along the inner walls of pipes, restoring proper flow and improving system performance.
Hydro jetting helps address:
-
Grease and soap buildup: Residue from kitchen and bathroom drains can restrict water flow over time.
-
Hair and organic debris: Accumulated materials in drain lines often lead to persistent clogs.
-
Tree root intrusion: Early-stage root growth inside sewer lines can interfere with drainage and cause blockages.
-
Recurring backups: Frequent backups often indicate deeper buildup within the plumbing system.
-
Slow-moving drains: Sluggish drainage from sinks, tubs, or floor drains signals restricted pipes.
Canessco Services Inc. assesses the condition of residential plumbing systems before recommending hydro jetting in Edmonton, ensuring a safe, targeted, and effective solution.
Hydro Jet Sewer Cleaning Process
-
Initial inspection: Camera inspection is used to assess pipe condition, locate blockages, and determine the most effective cleaning approach.
-
Hydro jetting (flushing): High-pressure water is directed into the pipeline to break apart grease, sludge, and debris, thoroughly cleaning the pipe walls.
-
Debris removal: Vacuum trucks extract loosened materials from access points such as manholes or catch basins.
-
Mechanical cleaning (if required): Specialized tools remove hardened deposits or obstructions that require additional force.
-
Final inspection: A follow-up camera check confirms the pipe is fully cleared and functioning properly.

Importance of Routine Sewer Maintenance
Regular sewer cleaning is essential for maintaining an efficient sewer system. Without periodic cleaning, debris can build up inside the pipes, restricting water flow. Routine maintenance helps prevent these issues and supports smoother operation, fewer blockages, and longer infrastructure life. The importance includes:
-
Improved wastewater flow: Removing buildup allows wastewater and stormwater to move through the system more efficiently.
-
Reduced risk of blockages: Clearing sediment and debris helps prevent pipeline obstructions that may cause backups.
-
Support for infrastructure longevity: Keeping pipelines clear helps the system operate more efficiently and extends the lifespan of the pipes.
-
Operational reliability: Regular sewer cleaning allows infrastructure managers to maintain consistent drainage performance.
-
Early identification of system issues: Routine cleaning and inspections help identify structural concerns such as cracks, misaligned pipes, or excessive sediment buildup before they affect system performance.

Common Causes for Clogged Drains
Clogged drains can result in reduced flow, backups, and potential damage to sewer infrastructure. Understanding the typical causes helps with prevention and maintenance planning. The common causes could include:
-
Tree root intrusion: Roots can grow into underground sewer lines through small cracks or joints, obstructing flow and causing structural damage over time.
-
Grease accumulation: Grease and fat from cooking or cleaning can solidify inside pipes, narrowing the passage and eventually leading to complete blockages.
Both conditions may require professional sewer flushing or mechanical removal to restore proper flow. Contact us to assess or clear blocked drains in Edmonton.

These trucks utilize a 1” sewer flushing hose, putting out 60-80 gallons per minute at up to 3000 PSI. They also have a ½ inch hose putting out 15-30 gallons per minute up to 2000 PSI. We have a variety of different nozzles for a variety of applications.
