Overview
Larger buildings move more waste through bigger pipe, and when a 4-inch or 6-inch main slows down, a household drain snake is the wrong tool. We use sectional cable machines and a jetter sized for commercial lines, then put a camera down the pipe so you can see what caused the slowdown and whether it will come back.
What is included
- Jetting sanitary mains from interior cleanouts out to the property line
- Cutting roots and scale in clay, cast-iron and older concrete pipe
- Clearing storm drains, catch basin leads and area drains on site
- Recording camera footage with distances and depths marked
- Recommending a maintenance interval for lines that load up quickly
Signs you need this
- Several fixtures at the lowest level backing up at once
- Cleanouts that overflow when the building is busiest
- Recurring blockages at the same spot every few months
- Sewer odour in loading areas, stairwells or garages
- Settling pavement or sinkholes along the lateral route
How the visit runs
- Locate the cleanouts and figure out which part of the system is affected.
- Choose cable or jetter and nozzle based on pipe size and material.
- Clear the line working from downstream toward the blockage.
- Run the camera, record the run and mark any defects on the ground.
- Discuss the footage and whether repair or maintenance makes sense.
Notes from commercial jobs
Oakville’s commercial stock ranges from older plazas with clay or cast-iron laterals to newer industrial units with PVC.
Oakville’s commercial stock ranges from older plazas with clay or cast-iron laterals to newer industrial units with PVC. Older laterals often have offset joints where roots get in; newer lines are more likely to have grease or construction debris. The camera tells us which, and that decides whether a single cleaning will hold.
Where the line runs onto Town or Regional property, responsibility changes. When our camera shows the problem beyond the property line, we tell you so and give you footage you can show the municipality.
Questions from site managers
Will jetting damage old pipe?
We size the pressure and nozzle to the pipe and look with the camera first when the pipe is fragile.
Can you find the break without digging?
A locating sonde rides behind the lens, so we spray-mark the defect and its depth on the asphalt, so any digging stays small and lands on target.
Do you offer maintenance cleaning?
Yes, for lines that load up regularly. We suggest a schedule after seeing the pipe.
