High-Pressure Drain Cleaning in Montreal, Laval, and the North Shore
When your drains are severely clogged or your main sewer line is backing up, basic methods like plunging or snaking aren’t always enough. At Plomberie 5 Étoiles, we specialize in drain clenaing, camera inspection and in high-pressure drain cleaning, also known as hydro jetting. This advanced technique uses powerful water pressure to clear grease, roots, and debris, restoring your pipes and preventing future blockages.
What Is High-Pressure Drain Cleaning?
High-pressure drain cleaning is a professional process that relies on a specialized machine to send a stream of water at extremely high pressure through your pipes. Unlike a mechanical auger or drain snake, which only punches a hole through the obstruction, hydro jetting cleans the entire inside diameter of the pipe. The result is a system that flows freely, as if it were new.
This method is not only effective but also safe for your plumbing system when performed by trained professionals. It avoids harsh chemicals, making it an eco-friendly solution for both homes and businesses.

Choosing high-pressure drain cleaning brings several advantages over traditional methods:
- Thorough cleaning: Removes built-up grease, sludge, and mineral deposits.
- Root removal: Effective at cutting through tree roots that invade sewer lines.
- Prevents recurring clogs: By fully clearing the pipe walls, it reduces the chances of blockages coming back.
- Eco-friendly: Uses only water—no chemicals that could damage your pipes or the environment.
- Versatile: Suitable for residential homes, multi-unit buildings, restaurants, and commercial properties.
When Should You Consider High-Pressure Cleaning?
High-pressure drain cleaning is not just for emergencies, it’s also an excellent preventative service. You may need it if:
- Your kitchen drain clogs repeatedly due to grease buildup.
- The main sewer line backs up more than once a year.
- You notice slow drains throughout the house or building.
- You manage a restaurant, condo, or commercial property with heavy water and waste use.
- Traditional snaking or plunging has failed to provide long-term results.
By scheduling hydro jetting before a major blockage occurs, you can avoid costly water damage, emergency repairs, and unpleasant backups.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is hydro jetting safe for older cast iron or clay pipes?
Yes—when performed by trained professionals using the right nozzles and pressure settings. Before jetting, we assess pipe condition (often with a camera) to tailor the approach and avoid stress on fragile sections.
How is hydro jetting different from drain snaking?
Snaking usually opens a passage through a clog; hydro jetting cleans the pipe wall all the way around. This removes grease, scale, and residue that would otherwise cause clogs to return.
Can hydro jetting remove tree roots?
It can cut and flush out many root intrusions in the main sewer. If camera inspection shows severe structural damage or heavy root mass, we’ll recommend targeted repairs or additional root control measures.
Do I need a camera inspection with high-pressure cleaning?
We strongly recommend it. A camera helps identify the exact cause (grease, scale, roots, sagging) and confirms that the line is cleared properly after jetting, reducing repeat issues.
How often should I schedule hydro jetting?
For typical homes, only when symptoms appear or after major renovations. For restaurants, condos, or high-use systems, preventative jetting every 6–12 months can dramatically reduce emergencies.
How should I prepare for an appointment?
Clear access to cleanouts, utility rooms, or mechanical spaces. Let us know about previous issues, renovations, or any strong odors or gurgling noises you’ve noticed. We’ll handle the rest.
