Our Services
We solve all types of drain problems for residential and commercial clients.
Hydro Vac
Hydrovac allows digging around existing utilities, gas mains, power lines, etc., without risking damage to infrastructure or harm to workers.
High-pressure water cuts and liquefies soil, while a high-volume vacuum removes it.
Ideal for uncovering utilities and pipelines with minimal risk.
Hydrovac works even in cold weather, where frozen soil renders traditional tools ineffective.
By using hot water to aid the melting process, hydro excavation becomes efficient and reliable.
Sewer Cleaning
Sewer cleaning involves removing built-up debris, such as leaves, grease, grit, sand, plastic bags, rags, and obstructions (like tree roots), from the sewer system. A sewer cleaner uses high-pressure water or cable machines to break up blockages, scour the pipe walls, and flush the debris down the sewer system.
Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting, also known as water jetting or high-pressure water jetting, is a powerful and environmentally friendly method used to clean and clear blocked or clogged pipes, drains, and sewer lines. It involves using a high-pressure stream of water, which is pressurized and then directed into the problematic plumbing system. This intense cleaning process helps prevent future clogs and backups by scouring pipe walls to remove grease, food particles, mineral scale, debris, and, in some cases, tree roots.
Drain Relining or CIPP
Drain relining is a trenchless repair method used in residential and commercial plumbing.
Also known as Cured-In-Place Lining or CIPP, is a trenchless rehabilitation technique for underground and surface pipes.
A resin-impregnated liner (usually made of polyester felt or glass fiber) is inserted into the existing pipe to be rehabilitated.
This innovative method minimizes disruption, preserves existing infrastructure, and offers long-term effectiveness!
Drain Repair
Drain repair involves fixing issues with sewer and drain lines to ensure proper functionality.
Drain technicians repair or replace damaged portions of sewer and drain lines.
This may involve cutting and rejoining pipes or installing new pipe sections.
Remember, timely drain repair prevents disruptions and maintains efficient water flow!
Pipe Thawing
Pipe thawing is essential to prevent water damage from frozen pipes. This can be done using steam, high pressure hot water or electrical current.
Drain technicians determine the method based on the pipe and location of the freeze. Using one of these methods, the ice is slowing thawed out to get water flowing again.
Pipe Installation
Pipe installation is a critical process in both residential and industrial construction. It involves placing and assembling tubular sections to ensure the smooth transport of fluids (liquids or gases) within and between structures. Plumbers and pipefitters, who specialize in this field, read blueprints, set specifications, lay out installation plans, and prepare pipes.
They use tools like pneumatic and hydraulic equipment to weld, assemble, and secure pipes. Whether it’s for heating, cooling, or other purposes, proper pipe installation ensures efficient functionality and safety
OGS Cleaning
Cleaning an oil and grease separator involves several steps to maintain its effectiveness.
We use a vacuum truck or catch basin cleaning device to remove accumulated sediment.
In areas with high sediment loading, inspect and clean inlets after major storms.
Regularly inspect the separator (at least monthly) and clean it out at least twice per year1.
Remember that proper maintenance ensures efficient oil-water separation and prevents environmental contamination!
No Dig Water Line Replacement
A trenchless water main replacement is a modern method for fixing underground water lines without extensive digging. Instead of excavating the entire yard, we use special equipment and create small access points to replace or repair the water line.
This approach is less intrusive, quicker, and more eco-friendly compared to traditional open-cut techniques2. If you’re dealing with a broken water line, trenchless replacement can be a cost-effective and efficient solution.

Municipal Hot Tapping
Municipal hot tapping, also known as pressure tapping, is a method used in pipeline maintenance and repair. It involves connecting to an existing pipeline while it’s still in service and under pressure.
By drilling or cutting into the pipeline and installing a valve or fitting, flow or pressure can be diverted without interrupting the substance within the pipeline. This specialized process allows municipalities to add new services onto existing lines without shutting down the entire system.
Grease Line Cleaning
Maintaining restaurant drains to prevent grease buildup is crucial for smooth operations and avoiding unpleasant odors. Grease traps allow greasy water to cool, solidify, and float to the surface, while clean water continues to the sewer system.
Sometimes, running hot water can dissolve grease buildup. Proactive maintenance reduces downtime, keeps your kitchen smelling fresh, and avoids costly repairs.
Drain Power Flushing
Drain power flushing is a thorough and high-pressure cleaning process used to clear and clean the inside of drains, pipes, and sewer lines. It involves using pressurized water to remove accumulated debris, sediment, grease, and other buildup, restoring the optimal flow and functionality of the drain.
This method ensures that any clogs or obstructions are effectively blasted away, preventing future issues. If you’re dealing with persistent drain problems, power flushing could be the solution you need.
Pipe Descaling
Pipe descaling involves removing accumulated minerals, rust, and other debris from the inner surfaces of water, drainage, or sewer pipes. It’s essential in areas with mineral-rich water to prevent clogs and maintain pipe longevity.
Sewer Inspections
Municipal sewer line inspections are essential for maintaining the integrity of sewer systems. To assess the condition of sewer pipes and identify issues. A camera is inserted into the sewer line to capture visual data that identifies issues like blockages, cracks, corrosion, and collapses.
Drain Mapping
What Is a Municipal Drain?
A municipal drain is a system designed to manage water flow. It is created by a local municipality through a bylaw.
These drains can be ditches, closed systems (pipes or buried tiles), or even structures like dykes, pumping stations, and culverts.
Most municipal drains are found in rural agricultural areas.
How Are They Identified?
Municipal drains are authorized through a bylaw based on an engineer’s report.
The report includes plans, profiles, and specifications defining the drain’s location, size, depth, and cost-sharing among property owners.
Septic Inspection
During an inspection, experienced technicians meticulously assess key components, including the septic tank, inlet/outlet pipes, distribution box, and drain field.
The inspection aims to identify any potential problems, ensuring that your septic system remains in top condition.
Septic Cleaning
Septic tank cleaning is a crucial maintenance task for septic system owners.
Regular cleaning prevents water contamination and ensures proper system function.
It involves removing unwanted solids and liquid contents from the septic tank.
Specialized trucks efficiently pump out sludge and solids from residential or commercial properties.
Remember, septic cleaning saves money, prevents clogs, and maintains hygiene.
