High-pressure water jetting for the most thorough drain cleaning available.
New Westminster's century-old clay-tile and early concrete sewer systems are among the most challenging drainage environments in the Lower Mainland. Tree roots, joint separation, and pipe collapse are common in Sapperton and Uptown. We always perform camera inspection before recommending drainage work in New Westminster's historic neighbourhoods.

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.

The local details below come from the New Westminster service-area profile and help place this drainage service in the context of the city’s homes and neighbourhoods.
New Westminster homes from the 1900s–1940s may have galvanized pipe and cast-iron drainage systems at or well past end of life. We assess and replace these systems safely, with sensitivity to heritage structures and city regulations.
Hot-water radiator boiler systems are common in New Westminster's older housing. We service, repair, and where needed replace these systems — preserving radiant heat comfort with modern efficiency and reliability.
New Westminster's oldest neighbourhoods have clay-tile sewer mains and service laterals that crack, shift, and attract root intrusion. Camera inspection is essential before any drain work in these historically complex areas.
Queen's Park is New Westminster's crown jewel — a neighbourhood of grand heritage homes, many built between 1890 and 1930. Plumbing systems in these homes can be extraordinary in their age: galvanized or even lead supply lines, cast-iron drain stacks, and early fixture configurations that require specialist knowledge to repair or replace sensitively. We treat every Queen's Park home with the respect these historic properties deserve.
Sapperton is one of New Westminster's industrial-heritage residential districts, with a mix of workers' cottages and post-war bungalows. The neighbourhood's clay-tile sewer infrastructure is among the city's oldest and most prone to root intrusion, joint separation, and partial pipe collapse. Camera inspection before any drain work in Sapperton is essential — we've found serious underground issues that saved homeowners from a much larger, reactive repair.
Queensborough sits on Lulu Island and has seen significant residential development since 2000 — newer townhomes and single-family homes on the island's north end. Drainage here requires careful attention due to the low-lying terrain and proximity to the Fraser River. Backflow prevention and proper drain slope are critical in Queensborough, and we assess both whenever we're called for drain service in this area.

Hydro Flushing Emergency in New Westminster?
(604) 365-0812A licensed technician answers every call — 24 hours a day.
Call NowHydro 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.
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.
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.
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.
