Hydro Flushing in Burnaby
High-pressure water jetting for the most thorough drain cleaning available.
Burnaby's mix of flat terrain around Metrotown and hilly areas in North Burnaby creates varied drainage challenges.

Hydro Flushing Services in Burnaby
Hydro flushing — also called hydro-jetting — uses extremely high-pressure water (typically 1,500–4,000 PSI) to scour the inside walls of drain and sewer pipes, removing grease, mineral scale, tree roots, biofilm, and years of accumulated buildup more thoroughly than a mechanical drain snake can achieve. Hippo Plumbing & Heating provides professional hydro flushing for residential and commercial properties across Coquitlam and the Lower Mainland.
Hydro flushing is particularly effective for commercial kitchens with heavy grease accumulation, older sewer lines with significant mineral scale, properties with recurring blockage problems, and any situation where a mechanical snake has failed to fully clear the line. We pair hydro flushing with camera inspection to confirm complete cleaning and identify any remaining structural issues.

Common Issues in Burnaby
Aging North Burnaby Pipe Systems
Pre-war bungalows in North Burnaby often have galvanized water lines causing low pressure and rust-coloured water. Copper or PEX repipe restores clean, full-pressure water delivery and eliminates the corrosion problem.
Highrise & Strata Plumbing
Metrotown and Brentwood area highrise condos require licensed plumbers familiar with strata building systems — from suite repairs to risers, pressure-balancing valves, and common-area plumbing.
Multi-Family Boiler Maintenance
Burnaby's aging mid-rise rental buildings frequently rely on central boiler systems for heat and hot water. We service, repair, and replace commercial boilers for building managers throughout Burnaby.

Common Questions About Hydro Flushing in Burnaby
What is hydro flushing and how does it work?
Hydro flushing (hydro-jetting) uses a specialized high-pressure pump to force water through a flexible hose and jetting nozzle inside your drain or sewer pipe at pressures up to 4,000 PSI. The nozzle jets water both forward (to clear blockages) and backward (to scour pipe walls), removing buildup from the inside surface of the pipe. It is safe, effective, and environmentally friendly — using only water.
Is hydro-jetting better than snaking a drain?
For clearing soft blockages like hair or loose debris, a mechanical snake is effective and fast. For grease buildup, mineral scale, recurring blockages, or root intrusion, hydro-jetting is significantly more thorough — it removes material from the pipe walls rather than just punching through the clog. Many recurring blockages that keep coming back are fully resolved with one hydro-jetting service.
How much does hydro flushing cost in Coquitlam?
Hydro flushing in Coquitlam typically costs $300–$600+ depending on the length of the line and severity of buildup. Commercial kitchen drain programs are quoted separately. We provide upfront pricing before work begins. Call (604) 365-0812 for a quote.
Do you offer hydro-jetting for commercial kitchens in Coquitlam?
Yes — commercial kitchen drain grease buildup is one of the most common applications for hydro-jetting. We offer scheduled hydro-flushing maintenance programs for restaurants, cafeterias, and food-service businesses throughout Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Burnaby, and the Lower Mainland.
