Hydro Flushing in Coquitlam
High-pressure water jetting for the most thorough drain cleaning available.
Coquitlam's mature tree canopy — beautiful as it is — is one of the leading causes of sewer line blockages in the city. Tree root intrusion into aging clay and ABS sewer lines is a problem we solve regularly throughout Coquitlam. Our camera inspection and hydro-flushing services diagnose and clear root blockages before they escalate to a sewer backup.

Hydro Flushing Services in Coquitlam
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 Questions About Hydro Flushing in Coquitlam
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.
